Good bless you

Who uses AliExpress here?

Technology as we all know has given rise to many time and labour saving ways to get things done; one of these being the idea of "Online Buying".

Nowadays, one can buy anything from any part of the world while sitting in the comfort of his/her home using their smartphones. But as everything that has a good side must also have its bad side...there are also some downsides involved with Online Buying, some of which includes: elongated delivery time, delivery of wrong/defective/low quality items, problems incurred during wiring payments, etc.

Another major problem now is the fact that there appears so many online retailers that we don't know which ones are real and which ones aren't. At least there are some trustworthy Online Vendors such as Jumia(which I work for), Amazon, Konga and AliExpress; but there are many others which might not even be registered and we see most of these on social media everyday advertising their goods. How can we know if such vendors are reliable. I have heard cases where people order from such vendors and get very low quality goods or even get duped�

So the purpose of this thread is for us to share our ideas and experiences so that others could know where and how to buy things online and not to get duped of their money.

Thank you �

North Korea's nuclear research is strongly opposed by the west...For Nigeria to partner with them would only bring international sanctions upon our "already-wrecked" economy by the western world

Apple iPhones are officially going to end up like blackberry soon. If you follow this blog, a couple of weeks ago I made a post about Apple losing about $57b , if you missed that post you can find it here - Apple Loses $57b .

This week I'm going to be closely analysing how Apple's iPhone downfall is just starting and how they might end up like BlackBerry if they don't start being innovative.

Apple enjoys the position it has currently based on the fact that in 2006 when the first iPhone was launched there wasn't any strong competitor and also due to the fact they have total control over their operating system something Google plans to have with the release of Fuschia OS.

Apple iPhones Coming With Recycled Features

Starting from the iPhone 7 to the the current iPhone XS Max , Apple has not added anything substantial to their devices apart from removing the headphone jack and adding a notch. All Apple does is change the processor and flip the cameras. Take a look at the image below and see if you can actually guess the phones in the image -

Then take a look at this second image with the names of the phones below them.

Also like every year a couple of leaks about how Apple's new phone - The iPhone XI would look have also surfaced and here are the most popular ones so far

Still in the flipping camera business eh?

It's one thing to recycle designs and features and a totally different thing to make them exorbitant. Make a quick Google search to compare the cost of upgrading from an iPhone X to an iPhone XS Max considering the only difference is that the devices.

Apple iPhones Are No Longer For Consumers

Apple has stopped developing phones for the users, all they are after is the money. Even Tim Cook confessed at some point last year that they were slowing older iPhones down. They want to force iOS users to upgrade so they can make more money.

I get the fact that every brand is out to make money but don't force your users to do something they don't want to and still extort them on top.

Why do users have to buy the fast charging cable differently, buy the Airpods differently and also buy the wireless charger differently?

By the time you calculate how much users have to spend to get the most out of their device , you can use it to get a very good laptop, a brand new Android Phone and a smart watch coupled with a wireless headset.

I'll be honest, Apple truly has added a lot in the world of mobile technology as we know it but they are really running out of ideas and if they refuse to start innovating they will lose out. Blackberry felt nobody could oust them from the mobile scene and we all know where that got them. Nokia too.

Take a look at this chart showing the market share of the top smartphone brands in the world

https://www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/prUS44188018-F-1-300x232.jpg

If you look closely , you can see how Apple shipments dropped in the second quarter of 2018.

You can't even say Apple has the best camera in the world right now. The Google Pixel 3 and Huawei Mate 20 Pro has even pushed it further down the chart. I know some people might say that the pricing is because Apple is a Premium company so they have to make premium products. Vertu was a premium brand too before they went off the grid completely.

It's obvious everything is moving too fast and Apple can't seem to keep up anymore . Also due to their current problem with Qualcomm , Apple is even looking to partner with Mediatek to be able to add 5G to their devices

With devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 coming with mind blowing specifications for just $150 (N60,000) and flagship devices from Huawei , Oppo and Vivo coming at a lesser price than the Apple devices, Apple should definitely sit up or they'll lose out on the mobile sector they have dominated for so long.

I know a couple of people might say I'm an Android Fan that's why I'm saying all of this but trust me I have nothing against Apple. This post was even written from an Apple Macbook.

All I'm trying to say is Apple should make the upgrade worth the price, if they can't they can chose to release phones once in two years , at least none of us would complain about their camera flipping antics.

I know many Nigerian iPhone users probably won't mind if Apple keeps extorting them because most of them only buy it to convince themselves they have some sort of class. Some of them don't even know what Airdrop does or that they can text another iPhone user on iMessage and some others play music via Xender and Opera Mini.

Apple should do what's expected as soon as possible or win a ticket to oblivion

As a woman, the only time you can have super fun is while you are still free and in school, by the time you start working, no time for that or let's say I get married in future, I will be restricted to do somethings I missed out while in school.

This life-size, drivable Bugatti is made out of 1 million legos

— Over 1 million plastic blocks and 13,000 hours later, Lego accomplished an unlikely feat: a functional Bugatti made largely out of the iconic construction toys drove down a track in Germany.

This Lego model is a replicate of a Bugatti Chiron, and from a distance, it's hard to tell the two apart.

Keep the flag flying boy. You've been a blessing to Nigeria. You've taken so many girls out of poverty, you've satisfied so many pu**ies, above all, you've prevented so many rape cases as a konjified person can easily watch some of your clips and go to the toilet to ease himself.

You're a legend. Reach for the stars.

You and who used you go to toilet to easy theirselves
