What we are experiencing is the 3rd World War (WWIII) and it is trade war.

Just like Huawei is eating Apple, Xiaomi is eating Samsung in the middle-end department.

Health › Re: How Lagos Air Quality Is Very Unhealthy by sniperwolf(m):
I was born in Lagos and at a tender age I was diagnosed with asthma. I always get an asthmatic attack during the period of (April - August) and (December - January). I lived with the sickness from my tender age till when I got admitted into the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO).

I never got an attack in school (Owerri), but whenever I visited Lagos for semester holiday I will definitely go down with an attack in Lagos before the resumption of the next semester.

I knew Lagos was very unhealthy for me but I love the state. I still manage to come back after every semester.

After university education, I did my NYSC in Lagos and the attack was becoming more prominent, and at this point of my life I was more responsible for myself. I can't imagine what my parents went through taking care of me and my condition.

Bottom-line, I made a decision to leave Lagos for Owerri and after 8 years here, I've never experienced an attack.

The few times I have visited Lagos; right from Ojota, my breath changes. Lagos is very much unhealthy

Phones › Apple Might Make A Dual-sim Iphone by sniperwolf(op): 6:07pm On Aug 30, 2018
Various credible rumors, along with stray iOS 12 beta code, suggest that Apple is preparing to bring dual-SIM card support to the iPhone for the first time with this year’s new models. The belated addition of the feature would be a little surprising because Apple doesn’t seem too enamored with SIM cards in the first place. (See the virtual SIM embedded in LTE versions of the iPad and Apple Watch.) So why would Apple make the move now?

While it isn’t common in the US, dual-SIM support is an essential feature for people in so many other regions that offering it would meaningfully change the way the iPhone is used around the world. The biggest question, however, is whether these are the users Apple will actually target with the support.

Dual-SIM phones have been around in various iterations for nearly two decades, including some wild devices that pretty much amounted to duct-taping two phones together. But the idea really started to take off in the mid-to-late 2000s, when small Chinese manufacturers started to produce phones that really delivered on the concept of one device with two SIM cards that could be used at the same time.

IF YOU MOVED FROM BEIJING TO SHANGHAI, YOU’D NEED ANOTHER SIM CARD
Why would anyone want that? In regions where people tended to buy unlocked phones outright rather than on subsidized carrier contracts, the main advantage was historically that you could avoid roaming fees. In China, phone numbers have long been tied to your local region. For example, if you moved from Beijing to Shanghai, you would need to get another SIM card. Until last year, Chinese carriers also charged roaming fees and made long-distance domestic calls more expensive. Dual-SIM devices allowed people to get around these issues with minimal fuss. Europeans similarly had to deal with higher fees when crossing borders until the EU regulated and ultimately abolished roaming charges.

More recently, though, the proliferation of modern smartphones has led to different use cases for dual-SIM phones. Because there are so many options for cell service plans that variously focus on phone calls, messaging, and data, it can often save you money to run two lines at once for different purposes. Depending on your region, it may also be helpful to be able to switch between carriers at will in order to get the best coverage in a specific location. Both of these factors have been key to the widespread adoption of dual-SIM smartphones in parts of the world like India and Africa, where users are price-sensitive and network infrastructure is still developing.

APPLE IS VERY MUCH OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM INDIAN MARKET
However, Apple hasn’t shown any signs that it’s willing to break with its high-margin business model in order to gain more users in cost-conscious regions. Tim Cook often talks about the opportunity in India, but as long as the company’s main play in the country is a 4-inch phone with three-year-old specs that sells for $400, it’s hard to imagine a brand-new dual-SIM iPhone making much difference. Apple is very much outside the mainstream Indian market, and it’s unlikely that the lack of dual-SIM support would have been the sole deal-breaker for many people. The same goes for other major markets like Brazil and Russia.

Indeed, some reports suggest that the dual-SIM iPhone may be a China-only variant of the rumored new lower-end model with a 6.1-inch LCD. (Bloomberg seems to believe that it’ll also apply to a 6.5-inch OLED model.) That would be easier to believe: China is a more immediately beneficial market for Apple, and it’s the only one in the world where dual-SIM support is a standard expectation for high-end devices. Even ultra-advanced phones like the Vivo NEX have two SIM card slots, as do all flagship devices from Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, and so on. Foreign companies like Samsung, meanwhile, develop China-specific dual-SIM variants of phones like the Galaxy S9.


MORE LIKELY A PLAY FOR CHINA THAN EMERGING MARKETS
That’s the more likely outcome for a dual-SIM iPhone: it’s a matter of convenience for China rather than cost-effectiveness for emerging markets. China is the only place with a significant number of customers who have the means to buy an iPhone yet would consider the lack of dual-SIM support a strike against it.

As such, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Apple restrict dual-SIM sales to China altogether. Conversely, it would be hugely surprising if Apple were to sell such a model in the US and beyond. It’s not a feature that Americans are accustomed to, carriers would be upset, and Apple probably doesn’t consider the SIM card any more desirable than the headphone jack in the long term. It just doesn’t feel like the sort of technology Apple would throw its philosophical weight behind on a global scale. If you do want to buy a dual-SIM phone in the US, your best bets are the OnePlus 6 and the Honor View 10, which are, not coincidentally, two Chinese phones that are exclusively sold unlocked.

Of course, this is Apple, so you never really know what’s going to happen until everything is announced onstage, which seems likely to take place in the next two weeks or so. Maybe Apple will bring dual-SIM support to multiple regions, after all. Maybe there will be some sort of solution involving an embedded Apple SIM and the traditional slot. What does seem clear is that Apple plans to address the concerns of at least some customers who want more control over the carriers they use — and, for now, that might just mean China.

INEC should be conducting these election. What's the point of conducting an election when you are few months from vacating office and when a new government comes in, they will dissolve whatever nonsense the previous government brought in.
The stupid governor did not conduct election for more than 6 years and just few days to his end of regime he is then conducting an election

Zeus - God Of War
You know why it's so satisfying to beat the everliving hell out of Zeus? Because Kratos transfers his powers into the Blade of Olympus to defeat the Colossus which was a ruse by Zeus, who then came along and beat Kratos while he was weak. How'd that plan work out for you Zeus?
Zeus no difficult ni. That scorpion boss was even a bad@ss. First battle na close combat with the weapon collected from Hercules. Next catch those fireballs and throw back at him, if you are unlucky, you can fill up your health from Gaia's heart
