PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Somerville: 7:43am On Aug 16, 2018
It's just days away until my Xiaomi Redmi 5 arrives and I still don't know if I'll be able to operate that phone.
I've been following discussions here for some weeks now and I still don't know much about that phone .
I only ordered that phone based on testimonies I read here on NL.
Please, can someone just tell me how to go about operating that phone as soon as I get it?
Thanks

PhonesRe: Aliexpress Vs Jumia. Which One Is Better by Somerville: 9:54pm On Aug 11, 2018
Mckandre:
what some of u don't know is that jumia, konga nd the rest of all these online stores order all items they sell to their customers from aliexpress untop all that, u pay double or more for goods u can get at cheaper rate directly from aliexpress. Have u ever wondered why getting ur order from jumia takes weeks despite the fact its a domestic online store? its just like comparing the strength of a mother nd her baby? WTF angry
@ emboldened, how true is that?

Meanwhile, I saw a perfume for 3k on Aliexpress, and on jumia, it's 20k. Same name, same color. Is there any chance in the world that it might be the same quality? Cos that difference in price is just too much.

As a matter of fact, that difference in price made me google "Aliexpress vs jumia", which led me to this thread.

It's dependent on the officials at your local post office. A friend that bought a phone was charged 1k and eventually paid #500 after a serious begging. Lol
The Max they can charge is 1k for a phone cos it's not weighty.
*Sighs*
Now I can have rest of mind.
Cos 1k is no biggie, even though it's illegal.

Like how much will the custom or Nipost duty cost?

I ordered for a phone on Aliexpress and am so scared how much they'll charge me before I collect the package.

Any slightest idea?

I've ordered more than twenty times on aliexpress and the rest of them, only paid 500 naira at the post office and even the money is negotiable. Aliexpress all the way!

Am in Nasarawa State.

I want to join the xiaomites

Who can tell me what to expect?
I've been coming across some terms like twrp, global update, global version Rom, Chinese version Rom, and so many other technical terms.

Who can just take his or her time and run me through what I should expect or how to get the best of my device? Cos am just few steps away from placing an order.
I don't want to regret later.

Hmm

I tried ordering for something today on Aliexpress, but the dollar equivalent ($1=N360) is almost the same with the price on jumia, excluding other shipping costs.

AmazingAngel:

So I ordered this pouch on AliExpress on 18th of July for my redmi 5 plus (the phone hasn't arrived when I ordered for it), the shipping was free through China small packet, and I was called from the post office this morning to come for it. The date on it states 3rd of August though. I was asked to pay #100.

Less than 3weeks, impressive considering the fact that the shipping is free and untrackable.

Please, what are the steps involved in that Aliexpress? I want to buy something there.

adontcare:
did u read where d girls dad rejected her and her grand mum also gave them 3 days to get d child away from her?. It is better for d op not to marry his wife again than to render a baby homeless because of an irresponsible father and a selfish grandma
If the owner of the child could reject his own blood, then the OP is not obliged in anyway to bring her to his house. Don't get me wrong, I'm not insensitive, just been real.
If the OP later decides to bring the kid to his house, it won't be out of love, it'll be out of pity, and I hate being pitied.
