Let assume it was the other way round, this thread would have been on fire, by now it would have been on page 80 with the latest derogatory words in town undecided

You would read stupid advice like “go and do DNA test on all your children” “women are this, women are that…” bla bla bla undecided

Since he’s a man, suddenly everyone wants to know why What happened How manage Rubbish!!

I pray the phone he swallowed causes more complications in his body system undecided

Nonsense randy men everywhere!!
Rubbish!!!

Because there's little she can do if she discovers he cheating.

I mean assume we are married, the fact that you asked me for the phone and I said no confirms all suspicious, swallowing the phone means it's more than just cheating, probably something more than just embarrassing.

The main difference between magic and miracle is, magic is something from nothing, miracle requires something for something.

That is why it is a Miracle.
God doesn’t heal like your doctor. It took him 1 day to make a generation in a man. This is Supernatural, so it can’t be done like a human doctor. Yes God is not a Magician that because He does it better than them. They only try to emulate him. Please Read Exodus 7 - 8. Moses performed a miracle of turning a stick to serpent and Magician copied him. As God predicted. All I am saying is that there is Original. Believe or not

Not doctors, I just quoted the son of God, none of his healings happened live this.

We are talking about healing not turning stick to serpent.

You can pretend all you want, we both know this wasn't a miracle, this is just cinema.

People that didn't believe in miracles will think it's a prank

You are wrong, no reasonable can believe that.

From a medical point of view, it will take a man or woman that is a cripple days of therapy to be able to walk correctly, remember I said CORRECTLY! Not to mention running around like he has been walking all along.

Even if his legs received healing, it will require time and lots of therapy for the brain to send and understand how to walk and run.

This is like healing a dumb person and immediately he starts to sing lol! That's not possible.

Even Jesus when he healed a blind man, the first time the man said he saw humans like TREES, the brain had to adjust to the information it just received and remember God is not a magician.

Now ordinary small communal insecurities, army don chance them again🥲🥲

The Nigerian army never really talk true Wetin dem dry find for that community, they claimed they went yo rescue someone, community said they came to arrest leaders after initially killing three members of the community, I don’t know who you would believe ooo but the Nigerian army is known to have lied several times.

Those quoting the north should know the difference, if a soldier dies in a war, there's a sense of pride, but when he dies like this, it's like he was sacrificed for nothing.

are you saying you were there at the meeting when "the elders and the youth and community head all agreed to kill not one or two soldiers"?

This is the first fact that you need: Two communities are at war, a peace committee headed by soldiers were called, only the soldiers were killed in the said community.

Two: The calibre of soldiers killed, A Lt col, A captain, this are not Soldiers that leave the office without speaking with the community head, they told them they were coming and they killed them.

Three: The moment it happened, everyone started leaving the community.

Let it sound as a warning that Soilders should focus on protecting the country and its citizen from foreign threats and it should be noted that where ever there is shooting Police and other sister agency should brave up and intervene.

Where there is bombardment is where a soilder should come in. Not whreer there is shooting you will call solders to come and have peace talk

This is a clear deal went wrong in the hands of the opposition. The fallen solders lost there life for not knowing what the top commanders have in stock.

Even as a sergent or lituentnant ask you commander questions and don't always obey the last order. Most are ploy to destroy your existence.

Just what I was expecting grin the picture below is called Plus, it's the unofficial version of telegram that is available on playstore. The main reason why unofficial WhatsApp isn't on playstore is because Mark Zuckerberg is a crybaby that doesn't want anybody to touch his toy. Now you say app stores heavily enforce laws, why haven't they done anything to this unofficial telegram which is a whole lot different from the official telegram (it's just like unofficial WhatsApp!)

This just proves you have zero app development experience.

Plus enforces same rule as Telegram, if you are banned on Telegram, you can't use plus, WHAT DOES THAT TELLS YOU.

This just proves you don't even know anything about how these things work, you are just confidently using the wrong analogy. First of all, permission and end-to-end encryption are not the same. End-to-end encryption is used by WhatsApp main engine, unofficial WhatsApp still makes use of that main engine which means it still have the same end-to-end encryption, and the so-called "law enforcement unit". If unofficial WhatsApp aren't using the official WhatsApp under the hood, how is Whatsapp able to send warning messages to people that aren't using unofficial WhatsApp? Answer this first.

What are these laws that mobile app stores enforce? Because from what I know, all apps require permissions before they can do anything on your phone (this is enforced by the Android OS or iOS and not the app stores). I have checked the requested permissions of the unofficial WhatsApp I'm using and I can confidently say there's no way it can act as a keylogger. First of all, an app that is acting as a keylogger will ask for permissions like access to keyboard inputs, read/write access to external storage and even ability to display over other apps, do you see any of that in the picture below? Again, I'm a developer/programmer and I have done all these checks myself, me saying I have been using it for 6 years and all is well isn't just about my prerogative.

You have been dodging most of my questions but let me still ask this one again; if all these you're saying is true, why is it not everywhere despite these unofficial apps existing for years? How many times have you seen someone say they got hacked or scammed because they are using unofficial WhatsApp?

The only shocking revelation here's, you are a programmer!

If you are as you said you are and you have attempted to add an app to any of the app stores, this won't look convoluted to you.

I have no interest in grammatical correctness, or the difference between a security procedure and end to end protection.

Try and add one of those app you developed on Apple store or even play store, you will understand how much enforcement they entertain.
Phones / Re: Whatsapp Is Trying Hard To Kill Unofficial Whatsapp by sparko1(m): 3:18pm On Mar 15
KushLyon:


Your first statement is wrong, official WhatsApp has a feature where you can add more than one account. As if that is not enough, you can also make use of WhatsApp business. Right now, I can have up to 4 different WhatsApp accounts on my phone without using the unofficial WhatsApp.

The unofficial WhatsApp also has end-to-end encryption as well as other security features of the official one. Unofficial WhatsApp still runs WhatsApp under the hood, that's why you can chat with a person using the official WhatsApp. If unofficial WhatsApp isn't using the real WhatsApp under the hood, then it won't be possible to message people using official WhatsApp (it's like trying to message a WhatsApp user from telegram).

1. As for your "act as a keylogger", I have been using unofficial WhatsApp for over 6 years and I store my bank details in it, email passwords and a lot of other personal data, never have I experienced any "hacking".

2. This is very wrong because the unofficial WhatsApp doesn't have permission to access information on any other apps, I have checked all of the so called "security privileges" and it's the same permissions Whatsapp asks for, and Android doesn't give access to hiddem permissions (in case you want to tell me the developers can hide these permissions). I'm a developer myself so I have indepth knowledge of these things, you're just saying things you don't even know about

3. Now you're just assuming and making things up

As for your example, it didn't occur to you that the seller is probably working with the scammer and sent him your info? Or that the scammer got your info from somewhere else? But sure, let's blame it on unofficial WhatsApp.

Lastly, why has anybody not called out unofficial WhatsApp if all you're saying is true? They have been in existence for over 7 years, so by now they should have been a widespread cases of all you have accused it of, isn't it?


I am not going to go point by point on this with you, let me just paint a picture maybe you will understand.

Permission or end to end security are like constitution for a country, the law only guides those it applies to because there's a law enforcement unit, an unofficial WhatsApp has no law enforcement unit, it is like a country that has constitution but nobody will enforce it because it's actually a jungle with no law. Mobile App store act as the enforcer in this case but the unofficial app is not under it, so there is no way it can enforce it law if and when it's broken or misused.

The appearance of security measures doesn't make any difference if you don't have anyone enforcing it.

Let me use this final analogy, Nigeria has a constitution that makes it a democratic Republic but is Nigeria really democratic or just have an appearance of Democracy.
Just like every democratic republic, Nigeria come up with election every four years to appear as if Nigerians do the selection, but we all know we don't because the constitution though present is flawed in it's originality.

Just because you have been using it for 6 years doesn't mean all is well, it's your prerogative.

You're the one that said the only reason why people use unofficial WhatsApp is to scam others, and if we are going by that logic that means everyone that sticks with the official WhatsApp are upright people while unofficial WhatsApp users are scammers, right?

If by getting caught you mean I being logged out for using gbwhatsapp, then yes that has already happened but I found a loophole and got back in. Now go cry to your Almighty Zuckerberg and tell him someone is still using unofficial WhatsApp despite being "caught" grin just see how you're carrying so much hate in your heart simply because someone isn't using the same app as you, Mr "hidden agenda"

Hate! No! Hate is an emotional state reserve for those that care, I don't know you, I don't want to, I can't hate what I don't know.

As per my request or prayer for you to be caught, I say so generally.

Everyday Nigerians, struggling Nigerians are being scammed because someone somewhere left the back door open.

If you tell me all you are interested in is just blue tick and hiding your status, it only confirms the suspicion, you are a child, you don't use something with zero security because you want to secure your chat or hide your information, that's as childish as it get.
Phones / Re: Whatsapp Is Trying Hard To Kill Unofficial Whatsapp by sparko1(m): 2:21pm On Mar 15
KushLyon:


And what are these security features and monitoring? I'm actually curious now, what makes it more difficult to scam people with the official WhatsApp? Is it that scammers find it difficult to scam people if their online status or last seen is showing?

GB WhatsApp allows users to run multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same device, which is not possible with the original app. This allows one person to pose as seller, intermediary and multiple layers of confirmation.

The original software has an End to End encryption, Using GB WhatsApp may pose a security risk as it is not an official application and may contain malicious code or viruses. The person on the other end with no security protection can do whatever he likes without the other user knowledge.


This might seems trivial but, it's not, because it's not official, and it's without security, anyone can repurpose it to do lots of this.

1. Act as keylogger. (If you don't understand what keyloggers are, you will have to read for yourself)
2. Copy information (mirror data) as you take pictures, snapshots and communicate with clients, the repurpose version can allow the hacker direct access to your text messages, bank alert information, anything because while installing, they requested those security privileges and you granted them.
3. Phishing: Anyone you get in contact with the app can send the hacker their phone number and name.

Let me share an example, I saw an ad on Facebook and it has a link to WhatsApp, after contacting the person and discussing about buying a laptop, some minutes later, a scammer called, he had my name, my company name and what I do for a living, I played along for a while ended the conversation eventually, my point is, the information they access becomes as easy as how much information you have on your WhatsApp, some save their password and stuff on WhatsApp, no limits.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Cracked softwares are available online just few days after the official one is updated, and its availability depends on how long it takes the developers to crack them and put online. They have the original one but they crack it to remove security features that make sure the software doesn't work without a license key, then they put it online. Nobody is talking about just Microsoft Windows, but a lot of softwares y'all use on your computers are cracked and illegal, yet you draw the line when it comes to WhatsApp as if y'all are saints

Answer this question, would you use a crack version of any software if it's completely free and with no Ads?

The major reason why the crack version of any software sells is because the hacker sells for a cheaper rate compared to what the original developer sells the licence.

I think you have made up your mind and I don't intend changing it, you can't compare a cracked version of a software with an unofficial version of a software that is already free for usage.

Of course, people that use normal WhatsApp don't scam.

Everyone is capable of scamming but you must agree, scamming becomes more difficult because of the security features and monitoring available in the original software.

It's funny how your justification is the fact that nobody is a saint, which implies a hidden agenda for the unlicensed. I hope you get caught and soon.

FYI, cracked softwares are always up to date, not outdated. The updated original versions are even the template for cracking, so know what you're defending.

When Microsoft warns you that your windows or software isn't genuine, do you look for the genuine one? So what's the difference between this warning and what WhatsApp is doing? Have you ever purchased a licence code or any activation key for the ones you're using?

The difference is, you are using a software that has been modified to do things they were not originally met for.

You are lying about the cracked software, the original Microsoft release in 2023 or 2024 doesn't have a crack yet, the crack only becomes available after a couple of years when it's almost out of service, and if you buy any of such it is not an imitation, it's the exact software, does exactly what the original software does, except you don't have to pay for the licence.

But why would you need an unlicensed software if the original is FREE?
THIS SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO MOTIVES!

You can try to justify it all you want with software cracks, the difference is clear, licence is how the software company makes there money, WhatsApp is free through and through, no Ads even, the only conceivable reason for using an unlicensed version is to operate illegally without the restrictions.

You all opened your mouth wide like a downloaded local deity that stopped at 19% spewing nonsense.

On your laptops, tell me one software you're using that is not cracked or modded. Even the Windows is cracked, a free version software can't be found on your system, you prefer going for the cracked pro versions.

Yet you all have the guts condemning people using Gb WhatsApp. I'm proudly a team GB for over 5yrs and I'll be till there's no more WhatsApp.

This is just bullshit, official WhatsApp is free, there's nothing like pro on WhatsApp, the only reason for using an unofficial WhatsApp is to scam people, stop talking trash.

Btw, none of those software on system is without the knowledge of Microsoft, the versions are usually a out of service or going out of service, and most times once you update, you are informed it's not genuine.
