If them get brain damage now

They squandered the money them for use during retirement , now they come dey risk their lives

Don't be too quick to judge...one bad investment can end ones fortune in the US. Also, the taxes rich people are subjected to is not child's play...this is not negating the amount that goes into child support as I reckon Tyson is a divorcee

Crypton:
Wow U mean customs have stopped misbehaving?

The kind of item you order plays a role in this. For instance, laptop batteries are very prone to customs scrutiny!

Crypton:
Good evening guys.
Please I wanted to enquire, how has it been with shipping these days? Has the waiting time reduced?
If I order now, can I pick it up by January?
Someone please help a brother with answers

Delivery largely depends on the store you buy from...it is possible you'll order and get your items before Christmas. Good luck!

@slimfeez
I got a failed delivery on friday evening (27th) on an item I ordered on the 31st of October. This was followed by an email notification by aliexpress to pick up my order at my local post office that same evening. I went there yesterday but was told my item is yet to be delivered. What should I do? Has anyone in the house encountered this problem before? How was it resolved?

Yuzedo.. I really miss that guy.
Days when you could get real help on nairaland. When ethnic and tribal bigotry wasn't a thing. When toxic people like op weren't members. If only I could turn back the hands of time...

The banana island crooner. I wonder if he eventually go the chance to meet Rita Dominic....

...good times!

XhosaNostra:
They also know that for a fact @ bolded

E-shibobo is the soccer highlights show, right? I've never watched or know who the hosts are, but what I know is, most sports show presenters are cute girls eg. Minnie Dhlamini.

After a quick google check....
It is the show craz e, the female presenters on that show are really hot and smart and that mixed lingo accent of theirs triggers a surge of dopamine to my brain.
You should watch the show if you haven't seen it!

XhosaNostra:
So what @ bolded?

They are gon come for me but I pretty much don't care.

I think SA women are lit!!! I absolutely love their accent, especially when they are angry and mix up English and their native isi-zulu or whatever language it is y'all speak. That shit is sexy as hell. Plus, y'all are very thick and curvy.

There is this show on e called e-shibobo, I don't know if it still airs but the presenters made me fall in love with SA women.

I don't believe that, I watched a documentary on DW about research in the medical field, many didn't even need lot of cash to carry out, rats were used as samples. For instance a research was done to find the effect of fastfood and lack of omega 9 on humans, the volunteers were given fast foods, rats were starved of omega 9, blood samples from humans were taken, for rats they noticed when you starve them of omega 9 they start eating their young ones. This are simple stuff that can be done at home

Problem here is that most are lazy, they believe everything is money.

Is this cutting edge?

We do tonnes of these kind of studies yearly. Journal articles coming out of Africa are basically on studies like this.

Molecular biology and drug discovery is a totally different animal.

sexylassie2:
People started from somewhere with the little resources they have in their hands, those local guys building locally made stuff arent complaining of lack of resources like those that went to universities.

When it comes to drug discovery and vaccine candidates, there are no cutting corners and management of resources. You don't use humans as Guinea pigs. The science has to be exhaustive and specific.

It is either the funds and equipment are available or no research can be done.

aminusodiq:
Ok... Previous thread justified

I am not going to dignify this with a response.

sexylassie2:
It is because the universities aren't producing nothing that is why most people run to traditional doctors, the universities havent proven that they can do something.

Universities are suppose to be the center for societal change, inventions, new ideas but ours is a center of ignorance.

Lot of PhDs holders in this country no research of importance.

Did you read my post at all?

The consumables (i.e. DNA isolation kit, polymerase enzymes, primers etc) required to carryout a SIMPLE molecular test like PCR for say a hundred reactions cost north of a thousand dollars.

We don't produce nothing because cutting edge RESEARCH COSTS MONEY!!!

It took an outbreak for the government to set up molecular testing centres across the country and even at that, 13 centres is not close enough to cater to the demand of 201 million people.

Mind you, all the consumables used in these centres were donated!

bularuz:
Why do you expend your energy responding to such a useless trend

Some people need to be educated!

sexylassie2:
Another excuse giver.

It seems the traditional medicine maker produce more medicine than our graduates.

...and I hope you patronize them.

Some of you don't seem to recognise that traditional medicine is basically untested plant extracts with unknown shelf life and cytotoxicity.

In 2009, a family friend spent almost a year in the hospital and incurred a bill of close to a million naira because of 50 naira agbo he drank to remedy malaria symptoms.

You can go ahead and buy the covid-19 vaccine that is produced in Kano. I am sure it works!

I just had to reply to this thread because of the anger I felt after reading what the OP had to say...

Some of you like our president and his equally ill informed education minister with his e-learning directive (what a joke) will just make very silly statements....

Personal experience...
My area of research is drug discovery and I have been working on therapeutic peptides for quite a while. During my MSc, it took me 2 years to isolate a compound all because there were no laboratories and basic lab equipment to work with. It got so bad that I had to finally send my samples to Brazil to complete the project (the drama I passed through to get my samples there is a story for another day; nobody trusts Nigerians anymore). We had to cut out about 40% of the initial design for lack of research facilities and even at that, our total expenditure exceeded a million naira (luckily, we had a grant).

Discoveries takes time and costs money. Information is power! We don't have proper libraries. Data is super expensive and worst of all, power supply is non existent. I remember working on a very unstable compound and needed uninterrupted power for at least 6 hours...guess what, we had to abandon that experiment after a couple of trials.

I can authoritatively say that not a single University in Nigeria can successfully culture cell lines or possess protein/DNA sequencing equipment or a high resolution microscope like a confocal microscope or even laboratories that can handle biohazardous materials, particles or organisms and someone here is talking about finding a cure to a novel and highly infectious disease. Even if by some miracle we come up with a cure, we don't have the capacity to carry out clinical trials.

I guess some of you think that finding the cure to a disease is as simple as mastercraft cooking up the beats to a Davido's hit song.

Nigerians only value entertainment which explains why Mercy walked away with a 100 million last year for showcasing zero talent and silicone implants. Brands only identify with sectors of public interest.
A country is only as good as its values so leave ASUU and Nigerian scientists out of this as we are all to blame.

Lalasticala, mynd44 Nigerians need to know these facts.

Thank you Sir! I prefer the Acer. I am following you closely cos I'm based in Kaduna. You'll be the first to know when my finances matches your asking price (if the Acer is still available).

fatrix:
Bro, these are gaming laptops and are usually more expensivethan business models, we have cheaper ones that can suit your need. Check my page. More still coming. Thanks for checking tho.

I agree with dauntless15. It is a shame that in this 2020, 150k cannot get you a used laptop with a dedicated graphics card. Some of us are struggling students that need mid range laptops for coding and molecular modeling. The cheaper ones will not work! Anyways, I will be following you, I might get lucky!!!
