Yea, Sorry bro. Jumia need to work seriously on this aspect of their business. Even if you complain of the seller they won't do anything to prevent others falling for the same gimmick.
Thanks boss. They should try and to do something about this terrible sellers.
I have always had my reservations about buying things online. I believe the traditionally way of walking into a shop and examining end picking up the item.
I just say make i try oyibo pattern small, the thing come one purge my belle. grin

Hope i will get refund sha.

Technology MarketObservation About Xiaomi Mi Tv by Smithwesson7(op): 2:38pm On Jun 06, 2020
Well i have bern seeing this xiaomi TV on jumia.

After great reviews about their phones here on nsiraland and their 4k tvs on online media abroad,
I decided to buy this TV from jumia( my first time shopping thru jumia).
The first thing i noticed on arrival was how light the TV was compared to my Samsung.i liked that.
Then i hit a brick wall.....
This morning, i connected my decoder to the AV ports and discivered there was no signal. I connected my Samsung to decodrer via same AV port and same cable and it was showing.

I just pack the thing for one corner. huh


What could be wrong? Is AV port not supported or this is a faulty unit.
Please if you have this make or type of tv or know someone who does, kindly help me confirm if this is normal.

Na to ask for refund o

Theirs phones are still awesome. A colleague uses one.
Is this TV from xiaomi or my naija brothers are at it again. The reviews online in US and elsewhere and even on quora are encouraging.
The said TV i bought is not smart.
Technology MarketRe: House Clearance Sales.. Come In Here!!!! by Smithwesson7: 8:03am On Jun 05, 2020
uliyaah:
It may be a FREE MARKET PLACE, but it also a CLEARANCE SALES THREAD, it is ridiculous enough that you tagged price higher than the new one for a used item, even new items sold here are to be tagged cheaper than the market price.

Jiji is a place you can tag your desires price, whether clearance or exorbitant.

They label a place a mosque, and you entered dressed like a Sango worshiper performing your rituals there too, saying its a free worship place, you're expected to apply your sense of classification rather than keep trying to show you're sharp-mouthed to anyone trying to correct you.

And you should be the one to ask for your education refund for you do not know the simple meaning of clearance.

It's my day off today, bring it on!
Lol at bring it on! Reserve you energy for other things sweetie.
I have been seeing his attack on everyone trying to correct him.

I only have one position for him. It is foolishness to fix the price of a used item higher than the cost price of a brand new of same item.

I take my leave.

I can see you're a dullard and suffering from memory loss. I can see how Jonathan have lifted your region from its almost irrelevance... How much did Jonathan met in foreign reserves and much did he left behind? What are his major achievements that that justify him to leave the foreign reserve in such state?...stupid fellow, go and find answers to those questions.... Buhari that you're cursing and abusing each day has done far much more for your region and ethnic than the JONATHAN you're backing.
Its clear that you have comprehension problem. Where in my write up did i profess support for GEJ? Go back and read my post again but this time do it slowly.
Gej performed below expectation and buhari is a monumental failure. They are all the same thing. This is my position. You imbecilic imp.

Now i truly understand why they call u guys zomb%e.

Who is even talking of region. Pathetic little imp.

Dont expect my response. U lack ability to reason critically

Are you minding the fellow?
During the past 2 months shotdown, I had almost zero income, I could have taken loan of 300k from paylater, 50k, from opay, 28k from branch, 30k from quickcash etc. I was bombarded with offers as one with great credit rating.
Nna, I knew my income had been reduced and hence cut me expenses, from diesel for generator to fuel for cars and eating out. Ie food delivery etc.
I survived and came out debtless today.

On the other hand I know lots of folks that indulged in the "free loan" money now wallowing in debt.

Same applies to Nigeria, taking debt instead of tightening your belt.

One thing I wonder, how would Peter Obi have handled this debt issue were he in government. Better or worse, your opinion pls.
This is how you know a wiseman, not that imp quoting me. Instead of responding to the topic, he started blaming Jonathan.

I stated what i would have done if i found myself in power, but i believe obi would tow similar lines too and even go the distance in cutting off unwanted excesses

I don't know you have brain o...so you have this kind of sense and you cannot advice Jonathan and his cronies to save for the rain day...when all of you from southeast are sharing the treasury prior to 2015 election, so tey una deplit the foreign reserve and all you no know abi? You for call your people na to dey crate streams of income...see him mouth like river shioor
You are plain foolish. It hurts to know i live in this country with people like you
Jonathan didn't do well, buhari was a monumental failure. They are all bunch of misfits. It's You i pity the most because at the end of the day, you will return to your squalor, while the thieves you support and their children,will continue in luxury
Don't bother mentioning me as this post above will suffice. Have a great day

JAMO84:
I wouldn't support this loan if this government have at least, 80 percent of the revenue the previous government had.


Add all the recoveries, loans and taxes, Buhari would still be at least 200 billion dollars behind Jonathan.


If oil was selling at seventy dollars and a certain government was taking billions of loans to pay salaries, is it now that it's 30 dollars that we shouldn't take loans? Will Buhari pay for all these gigantic projects with his military pension?


Please, anyone that cannot counter these with facts should not quote me, my mood is so bad I could curse anyone who mention me with shallow logic.
It is instances like this that requires ingenious and creative ideas.
A man who's salary was slashed from 70k to 30k does not go on a loan spree. That is foolishness and amounts to suicide. He looks for ways to create new streams of income.
There are easy drain holes in this countries that needs to be plugged.
All these estscodes, jumbo allowances and salaries., foreign trips, renovations, car allowances, large presidential jets etc.

There are so many ways this country is frittering scsrce resources away.
Buhari and his team are clueless

Thanks for your nice suggestion
Glad you checked in.
AgriculturePlease Kindly Advice On Ugu Farming by Smithwesson7(op):
Hello agro experts and lovers,
Please i am new to the agro trend. I am thinking of starting a small ugu(pumpkin leaves) farm.

In confession, i dont know anything about it. But a man got to start from somewhere grin

Please kindly tell me what it entails and what to expect.
What is expected ROI.

How long does it take to mature and the spec of seeds that are desired?

I wont be really involved in much of the farming process as i am currently working, but my Aunt who is a farming enthusiast may be available to guide the processes.
I just want to have my own knowledge too.

I am doing this as a small investment and not as a hobby.

Sorry for the long story.
Tnx

This is so emotional, wished we had openings to absorb him in our organization cry


It depends on his passion, interest and ability.....only him can figure that out. You are a wonderful younger brother, keep it up, and don't forget to pray for him because intercessory prayer of a concerned loved one goes a long way. Wish your family the best of God's favor, you guys will survive the storm okay cry cry

Thank you so much. Would do as u suggest

Stephenomozzy:
Depending on what his job was in the private sector, he can start a consulting gig with the skills and experience he has gotten on the job over the years.

About skills, it depends on him.... Is he a tech-savvy person? If yes, he can go into learning stuffs along the multimedia field: photography, videography/cinematopgraphy, graphics design, it's kinder easy to get jobs/freelance along these line as they don't take much time when there's real passion.

If he's more of a hands-on person, he can go into professional painting (painting of houses/making of paints), majoring on a particular part of auto mechanics (electrical, gearbox, engine, ac), he can also learn installation of CCTV and or Solar Powered Systems.


Importantly, as he's been a pillar for your family all along, you all should not just help with words of encouragement. You all should put hands together, no matter how little, pool up some funds as your abilities can and surprise him with it... Trust me, it will mean the heavens to him.

I wish him the best
Tnx boss. Will discuss it with him. I just want to gather some idea before i approach him.

False .
He can learn anything he chooses to learn.
Knowledge and skill acquisition isn't limited by age anymore in the digital age.

Ask him what he loves, he should learn what he loves or has some interest or drive to learn .

He can be a programmer, digital marketer, content creator, video editor.
He can be anything he chooses to be, no king, no lord, no man can say him nay. cool
He is limited only by his mind.
Thank you so much. Will discuss this with him
FamilyWhich Skill Would You Want My Senior Bro To Acquire by Smithwesson7(op): 7:40pm On May 03, 2020
He has been a wonderful person. A very intelligent and smart being.The defender and provider of our family.
He is a selfless and generous person but things are beginning to go south for him
He works in the private sector but there is rumbling in his organization (maybe due to corvid 19) and if he doesn't act fast, he will be left in the cold very soon( dropped)
It hurts me to see my senior bro in this situation as he has been a pillar to everyone. Things are in a terrible shape for him
He is 41 and have a small family.
What skills can you suggest for him to acquire so he can be self-reliant.

He is not very bucks-up now as he just finished burying our Dad....
Pls kindly suggest something he can learn.
Sorry for the long epistle

For someone who studied Applied Microbiology and Brewing, which of these M.Sc/Ph.D course would be suitable,bearing in mind that i am actually looking at consultancy, oil and gas, and government job, with lecturing as the least interest.:
1) Petroleum And Environmental Microbiology

2) Health, Environment, safety and security.

I plan on picking one and going up to Ph.D level.


I need experienced folks to weight in on this.
