could u put me tru, I got a well Payin job immediately after my final exam, I can't risk it for a miserly 19k plus. How were u able to go abt the ghost corper tin
you must first attend the 3weeks camp bullshit, then after that, you will get a months break before you are redeployed to your actual place of service, now the ghost corper stuff is between you and the head of that organization, if he or she agrees to or not, you won't come in to work and your money goes to them ...

Get sense or at least borrow one
You are probably one of those kids that still fantasize about NYSC not knowing its truly one year wasted if not two years with the incessant delays now, ur type will probably wear ur NYSC khaki and cap to bath. If anyone has relevant info on it pls do well to share.
Let's skip the part of being hypocritical, most graduates who have served would attest to the fact that NYSC is one year wasted.
ignore the deluded fellow.. just be a ghost corper , at least that's what I did...

PhonesRe: Google Allo Rank On The Playstore Is Really A Matter Of Concern by slinkman(op): 3:34pm On Oct 05, 2016
If you like, give this app from now till 2019, nothing really will change, their are tons of social apps still hoping that one day they will be the king.. telegram, nimbuzz, hi5 and a ton of others. Even if Google implements this allo into phones by default, users would still download whatsapp on that same phone and continue their chat with their friends, Google is just wasting time in trying to make social chat apps with no game changing feature so users don't even have any need for it. Google should ignore this Allo nonsense of a failure they are about going into, and work on more resourceful things that would make them king on that lane.. they were simply too late to the social chat app world

If they really wanna challenge whatsapp there's only one market strategy and thats to be available where whatsapp is absent. By december whatsapp will no long work on non android phones. Allo should incorporate all models of phones including java and i promise them success.
not even that, they need to incorporate the allo app and implement it in such a way that users would be forced to use it..

Its just a matter of time. they came at a time when there are already too many instant messenger and social apps. Facebook, Twitter, whatsapp, snapchat etc have been aroud for a long time. Facebook and whatsapp have over 1 billion downloads. Twitter and Skype have 500 million. Then there are apps like pandora, spotify, Netflix, Uber, Kik, Amazon, etc that have over 100 million downloads. It will take some time for google Allo to get up there, a lot of people don't even know such ap exist, I mean how many instant messaging apps do u need to have on ur phone?
exactly my point, confused when people scream it is a Whatsapp and iMessage killer.
PhonesGoogle Allo Rank On The Playstore Is Really A Matter Of Concern by slinkman(op): 9:23pm On Oct 04, 2016
After hitting 5 million downloads and #8 in the Top Charts just under a week ago, Allo is now falling fast. As of writing this, it is the 70th on the Google Store top charts, but was 86th about 7hours ago and got to 75th a few hours ago, but just few minutes ago it some somehow finds it way to #70. This probably shows that after millions of users downloading it during the initial release and hype period, that has now passed and the number of downloads has fallen dramatically.
As you can probably infer, this is most likely not good for Allo's adoption rates. Looking at my personal contacts list, I have 19 contacts who have set up an account and only 2 out of them chat, not to compare with 250+ phone numbers I have on my phone and WhatsApp Messenger. (As for Allo's sibling, Duo, I have a grand total of 0 on there before uninstalling it, and that's an Android developer.) Even out of my friends, nobody has been interested in downloading or using either, despite me being persuasive and telling them to have it installed on their devices.

What does this show? I'm not really sure. It's going to take time for Allo and Duo to penetrate the market, but I'm worried it's a case of 'too little, too late' for Google. It doesn't help that the two apps are only available on phones, and can not be used either on the web or as a desktop app. Either way, Allo was going to fall out of the Top Charts at some point, but it's somewhat disappointing to see it falling quite so fast.

My guess is that those 5million signed up users only installed it to see if it can actually take the place of other Instant Messaging App.
