MISSunderstand: I went to onitsha market (Emeka Nwafor) to fix my laptop's screen, the guy I met said he wasn't having the screen at that moment and asked if I could wait. I was on my way to enugu and there was no way I could wait, so we agreed he should buy the laptop. We agreed on 30k, a laptop I bought for 104k that only had inks on the screen and all i intended was to buy a new screen for it. Like the 30K bad price wasn't enough, I agreed only for him to tell me he was going to scan some internal faults of the system and he said he was going to charge 10 naira or so per unit (I can't remember the exact things he said because it's been like 2 years it happened). I didn't see the 10 naira as issue, after he was done scanning my PC, he told me the total charge for the scanning was 19k. I don't know how he did it, but he showed me everything on his screen. I couldn't argue with him because there were plenty scary looking guys around and that was my first time there. This guy sha paid me 11k for my brand new HP15 that only had little black inks on its screen. My first time in the east taught me a great lesson. (No tribal pun intended)
Ah. I've had encounter with those scammers at that same main market in onitsha. My laptop fell into water and it stopped functioning then I took it to that market o. After scanning for a computer repairer's shop, I eventually saw a guy who claimed to be one. He quickly took me to his office and collected the laptop, but I was smart enough to notice that so many things are off. If he's truly a computer engineer, the laptops I saw in that office never looked like laptops brought for repair And the guy even had issues opening the back cover of the laptop.
Then he later came up with the bulllshit story that he's going to scan the laptop with a device that will detect all the faults in it, and that it costs a certain amount per kilobyte. That was the red flag, because, from my little knowledge about computer there's no way such useless software is going to do anything meaningful. I just collected my laptop from him and went out. I met two other guys again and they came up with the same story. I just had to return home that day. Then I went online, searched for a reputable engineer in onitsha and I called him personally and I later arranged a meeting with that one...

lekzy116: Yes of course but seriously I hate listening to my voice note on whatapps, I can't believe I sounds so horrible like that when I always feel like Will Smith for my mind
It's not just you o. The voice always sound different when I'm recording it. Then to play it on WhatsApp, I hear something else
Balenciagabrain: which press again when there's social distancing?
Media houses are still working. Nothing stops him from appearing live on any program where citizens can call in and ask questions. Even when there was no social distancing, has Buhari ever had a media chat?
I knew there's no way on earth that the lock down won't be extended, since the purpose of the lock down was never achieved in the first instance.
It's a shame we have a president that can never come out openly to address the press and answer cogent questions thrown at him from different corners. If not, I would have loved him to explain the palliatives and reliefs in place for all citizens in these affected regions.
He'd rather send a pre recorded and unquestionable speech once in a blue moon.
I have noticed with increase how some certain people on this forum abuse other individuals whose views are contrary to their own belief or dogma instead of expressing their arguments in a more mature and reasonable way.
A journey through some of their previous comments you will also notice that some of these abusers are Atheists and people addicted to hard substances.
You go about pouring out your vituperations on every thread, creating nuisance and getting supports from your kinds...for your mind you feel say you be James Bond.
Now to the business of the day..
Some of you believe that some radiations can can attack a cell in human body.
You believe that consistent usage of x-ray machines can cause harm to the body.
You uses phones that recognizes your thumb, eyes and face and respond instantly.
You've seen or believe there's a technology that detects when someone lied.
Yet you find it difficult to believe that a technology such as 5G is harmful to humans or cannot have negative effects to a human body? Now I'm not saying that I have a proof of it's danger but the possibility cannot be neglected.
Your claim is that 5G is a non-ionizing radiation yet ultraviolet rays, Microwave which also are among the non-ionizing radiation are reported in most cases to be harmful to humans and animals.
Chinese, the originators of 5G are busy destroying the masts and you are inside your small village abusing and cussing them.
Your colonial masters are determined to destroy all 5G programs in their territories, and you that studied physics in one local university in Nigeria is out here exposing your ignorance.
I weep for you.
With those bolded, You should weep for yourself instead
Fariq: You only talk on the physics aspect without the biological aspect which concerns life.
5G network operates at 60 Giga hertz which is oxygen absorption band. I.e 98 percentage of the energy at that frequency is absorbed by atmospheric oxygen.
This changes the optical properties of oxygen, which in turns makes it difficult to bind to haemoglobin when inhaled by a person.
In the human body, oxygen binds to haemoglobin in the red blood cells which then circulate to all tissues of the body.
Less binding capacity of oxygen to haemoglobin = less oxygen to the tissues of the body = shortness of breath and related complications.
5G is also linked to immunosuppression that weakens the body immune system. Having in mind that the body immune system is responsible for defense against foreign pathogens including coronavirus.

Go through these research articles https://bit . ly/ 2V5aY9Y. (remove spaces)
And search for Millimeter-wave interactions with the human body: state of knowledge and recent advances I don't want to post links so I don't get banned. You can skip to the conclusion aspects of those research to avoid wasting time
chukzie2002: Ultrasound is not radioactive but it can be use to destroy cancer cells which is also harmful to the human body. The 5G is an EMI, electromagnetic interface...check the effect on human bodies yourself
Read about how High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) works
Been long I've seen this kind of SOT on my Redmi Note 5. Accubattery app reports that the battery life has detoriated to about 3,400 mAh and the battery just lasts for about 6 to 7 hours now. This time around, I just switched to 3G network and used it mainly for browsing, reading pdfs and watching movies and I got this SOT.
Modified - I thought I took the SOT screenshot initially, but I didn't. So, I just took it after charging the phone from 4% to 6%. But it was originally at 10 hrs, 45 mins
GeneralShepherd: Close Nigeria? No, we need business from China.
Now residents ate being locked out of their homes in the midst of a pandemic. Nigeria is a joke
Residents should always listen to simple instructions next time. If they had stayed at home when the government told them to, it wouldn't have led to closure of different states in the first instance.
onegig: Closing interstate borders is actually very silly at this point.
You can limit movement but closing? Also states don't have jurisdictions over federal roads. Are you telling me you are going to Lock Lagos-ibadan expressway and limit the movement of millions moving to other states ?
What about fuel tankers? People returning from Lagos to other states? It takes only one essential service person to infect thousands so closing interstate borders won't work.
We aren't testing enough so we can nip things in the bud and isolate people we are closing interstate borders instead. Like there is a physical border between Lagos and Ogun that you can just carry stick and block the movement of people. Nigerian politicians are always dumb, always putting the cart before the horse.
For the first and second bolded, the move is more like limiting movements and not closing, it was stated in the contents of the post that transportation of essential commodities is still encouraged.
For the third bolded, it actually works. Check out this simulation to understand how it works properly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxAaO2rsdIs But, it's worth noting that it actually only has any meaningful effect if the infection hasn't spread seriously in Ogun as well.
And the last bolded, nothing works better than quick testing and isolation, but our leaders would rather purchase 2020 camry than test kits. We're in a serious condition here.
Y'all need to check out this video. It examines the overall effect the virus might have on the entire populace when each safety procedure is taken into consideration
januzaj: That's because they have tested more people than other countries. People are talking without taking this fact into consideration. Let other countries test as many people as USA and let's compare the number of confirmed cases. Most confirmed cases but number-six in the world for most deaths behind Italy,Iran and Spain with lesser confirmed cases. This should tell you something.
Exactly. If they had only tested 260 cases like Nigeria as at the 25th, how will they record this large numbers?
orogodoganyin: their players are always better than yours. when you want to shoot, the idiot feints sometimes... sure goals are lost at times... mahn, I get fed up many times
Maybe you just started playing. Give it time. You'll soon become a pro
Dakad: Your deduction is right but not correct. Remembered those tested are those who have travel history or have contact with those who have been tested positive. If you submit that 1 out of every suspected cases; those with travel history or have contact with infected person, then you are absolutely correct.
My biggest fair is for a situation where our health facilities and manpower will be over burden. Even the best of the country are not having it funny talkless the developing countries. I'm sure we are coming out stronger provided majority take this pandemic serious and play our role as individual
If you look at this graph released on the 20th carefully, it examines the total tests conducted vs total confirmed cases in these countries. I keep wondering how many citizens have actually been tested in this nation. It its just about 500, and we've recorded over 60 cases already, then its safe to presume that 1 in 10 already have the virus.
I weep for Nigerians who never listen to simple instructions to stay indoors except when trying to purchase things essential for their survival. I went out briefly yesterday to purchase some drugs at a place which involves crossing to the other side of the road and my utmost surprise, I could still see lots of busses passing by people filled to the brim.
