still recruiting? i believe i meet with your qualification

Bro. The Infinix Hot 3 is great but for a photo addict or selfie diva, the 1GB RAM version should be "no go area"

It's a bad choice.

I believe your sister will not get enough satisfaction from the 2mega pixel front facing camera.

Here is the truth.. if you buy her this phone, she will live the phone life spam editing all her pictures and....

you'll have a sister that hates you forever!

I'll suggest you get her the Hot S. But if you think the price will cut your neck, make your choice from my list of Best Affordable Android Phones In Africa

Your humble opinion will be appreciated

Kindly state the reason why you will or you won't.

Quite a few people have trouble being away from their smartphones, even when you don’t really need it. Are you more in attached to your phone than your partner? Here are a few telltale signs for you to consider.

1. You spend more time with your smartphone

Deloitte undertakes a global mobile consumer survey every year and has consistently found that people just can't put their phones down. A study by the TNS group revealed in 2015 that young adults aged between 16 and 30 spend an average of 3.2 hours on their smartphone, that’s almost an entire day every single week.

So, if your partner is complaining that you’re always on your phone or if you've started to turn down invitations to go to dinner or parties because you want to spend more quality time increasing your score on Candy Crush Saga, perhaps its time for you to reassess your relationship.

2. You turn on your smartphone first before you even say hello

Okay, it's time to be honest and answer the following question truthfully: what is the first thing that you do when you wake up in the morning? If your answer is 'look at my smartphone,' well you've pretty much admitted to being in love with your phone. Don't despair, you're not alone as about 60% of smartphone owners consult their smartphones within an hour of waking up.

Where have the good manners of yesteryear gone? Affection, the desire to caress, to give your partner a kiss good morning? Do yourself and them a favor - wait until you leave the house for work!

3. You give more gifts to your phone

Valentine’s Day is generally an opportunity to give your partner a present. That said, there's nothing preventing you from giving them gifts all year long!

If you are one of those people who gives their smartphone more presents than your partner, like a protective case, headphones or other accessories, then you may have a problem. Don’t worry, it’s a problem that many couples experience. Now you know about it you can do something about it, can't you?

4. You never forget to charge your phone but you do forget your anniversary

This can happen to people who are easily distracted or anyone who is simply bad with dates. However, this can cause huge problems. If you never forget to charge your phone but you forget your wedding anniversary or your child’s birthday, you will be annihilated by your partner.

Some advice for those who are stuck to their phones and don’t want to lead a double life with their smartphone: just put a reminder in your calendar and the problem is solved. No one will ever know!

5. You know more about your friend’s lives

Often, you are more up to date on your friends' status (or even those who aren’t necessarily your friends) than on the emotional state of your partner who is sitting right in front of you and is trying to talk to you. Take time to listen - it could be about something important in your relationship.

So, do you think you’re more in love with your smartphone than your partner? Are there any other signs people should be on the look out for? Let us know in the comments below.

It is rumoured to come without Android and yes, a better screen. 2.8inch as seen on http://techgyst.com/2017/02/14/nokia-3310-might-return-this-february/

Let's pay homage to the legendary device!

Absolutely wrong.
Tecno Phantom 6 is still not more than 95k & phantom 6 plus 135k anything above 100k & 140k as @ today 15th Feb I'd bet such one wan dash out money.

Bro. I like the way you typed your "Absolutely wrong"

How far you Your signature says you're a sales consultant. Well, I'm actually glad to be talking with one now.

You know these price varies accross retailers nationwide. Though some onlines stores are selling the Phantom 6 more than 95k!

Is it we that is dashing out money or are they the ones cutting our neck?

A friend of mine recently got cheated by some guy, just because he didn't know the current price of tecno's Phantom 6.

How he got foold all in the name of the hash tag #BuhariPrice. Kindly read his story here >> http://www.techkibay.com/2017/02/current-price-of-tecno-phantom-6.html

[size=14pt]Was there actually a 'Buhari Price' when the Phantom 6 and 6 Plus were released?[/size]

Tecno unveiled both the Phantom 6 and 6 Plus about September last year (2016), with a whopping N100,000 price tag and as usual, hundreds of folks ran after the shinning Gold colour. Even though they were the ones complaining of recession.

With the current hike in prices of communities all over the country, the Phantom 6 is becoming more expensive by the day.

Currently, the cost of a brand new Tecno Phantom 6 range from N95,000 to N105,000

While a brand new Phantom 6 Plus cost within N145,000 to N155,000

Guys, what's your take on this?

Nice compilation Mr. Noah

Tbillz:
iPhone 7 will tell you how many guys your woman ever slept with. Awesome is the word!

iPhone 7 bloody

simijimi:

most nigerians are very gullible

Hehe.. that's why I love them!

Around September last year, Apple had their annual event and in the course of that event, the iPhone 7 was unveiled to the public.

But just before the ‘market-breaking device’ was released, Nigerians well known for ‘singing praises’ had already started singing the praises of iPhone 7 to even as far as Jerusalem.

Big fans of Merrybet went as far as testing their predictive skills on the specs and features of the phone.

Well, a couple of not-so-geeky folks with huge odds, got their predictions correct whereas some went too predictive and hilariously, most of their predictions were the kind of hype you hear a guy telling a chick when he is wooing her.

So what actually were some Nigerians saying about the iPhone 7?

1. iPhone 7 will tell you if an ugly or fine person is calling you.


Sincerely, this rumour got me laughing out loud

Before iPhone 7 was unveiled, part of the whispers and illustration I head Nigerians saying is that;

If you’re a hot chick and you buy an iPhone 7, whenever any ugly guy is calling your number, you will get a notification and therefore decide if you want to pick the call or not.

Lol. This were big lies and funny hype.

Guess what?

They were all sent to the bottomless pit because there is no such feature on the iPhone 7

2. We will not be playing Game with hands again!


Wonders shall never end right? If technology doesn’t kill us, we sure will just laugh our ribs out.

Someone told me that someone told his friend that told his brother that to play a game on the iPhone 7 you wouldn’t need to use your hands but eyes (Eye movement).

If this is possible, then there would be no need to play our beloved candy crush and temple run with hands. (Eyes all the way!)

Hehe. This part of the hype was sent down the bottomless pit also.

No doubt that augmented reality and virtual reality are the next big deal, iPhone 7 does not support that kind of technology that will allow you play games with the movement of your eye.

3. If an ugly person texts you, iPhone 7 will reject it.


How on earth would that have been possible? Handsome geeks, do you think this can be possible?

This particular hype was the talk of the kids in my neighbourhood.

Only God knows who told them.

Well, the iPhone 7 wasn’t made with the feature that would practically reject a text from an ugly person.

4. TWO headphones can be connected to the iPhone 7


Aside from the online leaks, a majority of Nigerians were expecting the usually wired headphone.

Not only were their expectations called short, the iPhone 7 was manufactured without a headphone jack, although a wired headphone could still be connected. But to “connect 2 headphones” – that’s too much hype.

5. The phone could play any music you think of.


Like seriously, this one got me speechless.

I’m currently based in Warri and where I live, some folks who had somehow heard the expected (whooping) price tag of the iPhone 7, were the ones speaking of this miraculous technology.

If such phones would exist, I bet you would find them only in Heaven!

Closing the curtains.


It is indeed a well know fact that iPhones are prestigious phones not just in Nigeria but all over the world.

Allow me ladies and gentlemen sneh, to mention those who can’t do without Apple’s iPhone; Business men and women, students, married couples, footballers, musicians, drug dealers, and even Yahoo boys.

On the positive side, all thanks to the fundamental work of its founder, Late Steve Jobs.

So, say the truth!

Which of these hype did you hear most? Aside the few mentioned above, where there some other hype you heard, were they true?

lOL.. That first comment sha!!

Realist2:
Op where can one buy this one plus 3T phone ?, because i wana give it a trial.

One Plus do make good phones!

I believe the ONE PLUS 3T is a good suggestion for tech consumers

Just as planned, Gionee has finally decided to calm our anxiety by unveiling its long-awaited flagship device, the M2017.

The selling point of the phone is the mammoth 7,000mAh battery capacity it offers - there are two 3,500mAh batteries inside.

As for other specs, the phone is powered by Snapdragon 653 SoC, and sports a 5.7-inch display of 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution.

RAM is 6GB, while storage options include 128GB and 256GB.

There's, however, no microSD card slot. A 3.5mm headphone jack is missing as well.

In terms of camera, the handset features a dual rear setup (12MP + 13MP), and an 8MP front shooter.

Measuring 155.2 x 77.6 x 10.78mm and weighing in at 238g

The M2017 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Amigo 3.5 UI on top. The phone features a fingerprint sensor on the front.

The Gionee M2017 is Indeed a big gun and as such cost about N320,000.

What are your opinions on the specs/features of this phone?

So you made it - but they said you would never make it.

Brothers and sisters in tech! It's not about he that willest, but it's papa God that showeth mercy.

Now, with a big smile on your face, look at yourself and say "Nah Me Be This?"

If this is you reading this and you're feeling the new year rhythm, then look at yourself one more time and say "Congratulations"

Another journey has started!

Planet earth has completed another resolution and so if you're hoping to attain greater heights and solutions.

Let's start the year with some prayers!

If you're Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gate, so far you're a tech lover, then join this prayer session.

Pray and say;

1. Thank you father, because you are God!

2. Thank you because you connected with me, not with BLUETOOTH but with your SON.

3. Thank you because you answered me when I called you in 2o16. You answered me when Glo had no signal in my area, when airtel cancel "Please Call Me" Services, even when I kept coursing and insulting MTN, GLO, AIRTEL and ETISALAT because of their unconsolidated SMS

4. Thank you for the life you gave to me, even if I sell my iPhone 7, it won't still be enough to pay!

5. Thank you because I didn't date the hospital nor did I marry the mortuary.

6. Father! In this year, I will live, my capacity will be far greater than that of Gionee M2017

7. In this year, there will be no "404 Error in my life"

8. Oh God, in this year, please open my eyes, upgrade my mega pixel!

9. Upgrade my RAM, my ROM let my contain your blessing!

Now, here are some prophesies for you

10. In 2017, you will NOT buy iPhone 7, You will not. Rather, iPhone 8 is your portion.

11. From 1st January to 31 December, 2017, God will be your PROCESSOR

12. Your shall walk to any door in life and unlock it with your FINGER PRINT.

13. It doesn't matter whether you walked into the year with the Tecno Y2. I said it doesn't matter.

Apple will call you and ask you if you want your MacPro the way it is or customised with your name.

If you believe type a big AMEN!!!

Remain focus, keep pursuing your dreams In Jesus Name! Once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR from www.techkibay.com

Story story!!

Once upon a time!

Long ago, deep in the streets of Nigeria were the internet suffers beeing killed by expensive data prices. So we had to conserve data like it's Oxygen in Pluto. To an average internet user, every data wasted is like a treasure thrown into the ocean.

It was indeed thought but am glad we survived

Now fast forward to the triumphant entry of the messiah and saviour! 'Globacom' who made our internet surfing days an unforgettable memory!

Glo has over the years, storm the telecom market with its cheap data plans, helping hungry internet users like me while giving a thought fight to its rivals MTN, Etisalat and Airtel.

Don't think I've forgotten so soon!

That year when BlackBerry phones practically divided Nigeria into two and built it back in 3days. Lol.

All telecoms followed the trend and started offering BlackBerry Subscriptions, which were indeed cheap. Glo's BIS was very cheap and that got a lot of Android users jealous! Every Android user in my neighbourhood wanted to change their phone's IMEI so they could rock the Blackberry Subscriptions on different networks.

Don't tell me you didn't change your IMEI? Kontinue, God is watching you (in Patience Jonathan's voice).

There is a cause for ALARM!!. Are you curious? Follow me through and let us relate >> http://www.techkibay.com/2016/12/you-should-not-be-glo-subscriber-using-BB.html

About some years ago, (not all that long), only the rich could get the best phones and machines in the market. An average salary earner would have to save for months just to buy his dream phone. Now, almost everyone has a smartphone, no just any smartphone but a good one. Whether cheap or expensive, so long it serves your need.

Half of smartphone users in this part of the world, are Android freaks! Not by their own doing but because of the simplicity of Android phones and also because, the number of manufacturers breaking market barriers in Africa produce phones running on different versions of Android Operating System.

Who then will say 2016 didn't turn out fine?

We all saw the launch of various flagship devices in Africa, some of which were relatively cheap while others dead expensive.

Personally, I enjoyed the tech trends, political dramas, sports and entertainment trends in Nigeria and in Africa generally.

In marking the end of a fun-filled year, I've taken my time to compile a list of efficient Android phones that are cheap and won't break your bank. They are the best cheap android phones of 2016.

In no particular order, I bring to you the price and specifications of 2016's best affordable Android phones.

Hehe.. That would definately be a sign of END TIME.

It was a typographical error, the truth is that the price of Techno C9 has sky rocked! Unfortunately, it is no longer 49,999.

What they mean to type is 74,999 cos, C9 is over 70k depending on different e-commerce sellers.
