The past administration purchased some spy equipment from Israel some years back, this present administration is putting it to good effect not only in nairaland but other social media platforms. All those yabbing this government for its obvious inadequacies and blunders make una take time o, my hand no dey there

barcanista:
That is to tell you that APC does not believe in democracy. Buhari is a hardened dictator

I have said earlier on that we would be practicing a democratic dictatorship from May 29th this year and I've yet to be proven wrong. Shebi an apc big wig has even asked for the constitution to be suspended for Buhari to "perform" better ? We don enter one chance true true

The APC children of hate and bloody anger are capable of any misdemeanor so I'm not surprised especially when you have a clown like Oshiomole acting like the defacto minister of loud mouth and finance. Anything can happen according to Wyclef

I knew the children of hate and anger who habitate the APC would immediately get high blood pressure and create a counter thread whenever Barcanista sneezes on nairaland. People like Omenka and OrlandoOwoh didn't disappoint my prediction but as our elders say, such is life.
Op please keep your epistle to yourself, in fact memorize it but tell your people that what generality of Nigerians want is governance and not probes on the pages of newspapers. Your country is in stagnation and the currency is in a free fall. The FG can't continue in perpetuity to run an administration on two media SA's, a young PA and a photographer. We need action, probes/investigations can take place side by side with governance.

Ps; what are we going to say about budget performance by the end of the year ? The first lady (I mean wife of the president) has already hit the ground running by revealing her office staff while your president is still slow grooving

God bless Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for seeing the importance of re-equipping the military after years of neglect by past administrations.

Who are they deceiving It's to monitor those who criticize the government too much i.e. those they think are against the administration

Samsung rode on the wave of the iPhone to success. The Asian tiger rose to Android dominance by copying the design cues of the iPhone for its Galaxy S series and it paid off handsomely. See Photo Shoot: Apple, Samsung, and Nokia and Aping Apple – Stupid, stupid mobile manufacturers. That was in the beginning. Samsung became a blazing brand in mobile and quickly became the dominant power. They still are, but the flame is not burning so bright anymore.

Photocopy ko easy (Photocopy is not easy)
For one, it seems that Samsung has gotten it into their head that copying the iPhone to the hilt is the way forward perpetually. Copying the visual design cues of the iPhone was okay. But now forging ahead in copying the limitations of the Apple’s cool aid in their flagship devices is downright silly. No micro SD card. No removable battery. Duh. Very soon, perhaps Samsung will remove multitasking and skin TouchWiz to run like iOS does.

But here is the deal: Android is not iOS. And the average Android user is not like the average iOS user. Android is about freedom and flexibility. For one, the freedom to choose how the user stores files and when to change their battery.

Less Is More
But such things aside, Samsung is also overreaching, somewhat reminding one of Nokia at some point. Infact, Nokia was still doing this as at last year (remember the debate about Nokia’s Lumia product line?). Like Nokia did, Samsung has multiple devices in each price bracket – and with no significant differences between those devices. They look alike, feel almost exactly the same, and have similar specs and similar prices. The result? Confusion for buyers and users. Plus, the huge waste of the resources that go into producing and marketing those devices.

See the S6 range. There’s the S6, the S6 Edge, and now the S6 Edge+ and Note 5. All of these at the top. And where are the distinguishing differences across these devices? Bummer. The same applies at the bottom of the pyramid – multiple devices with no distinguishing differentiation.

At the top, the iPhone is outselling Samsung. At the bottom, the Chinese bears are eating everything up. Yet, Samsung is busy removing everything that the very platform it rides on stands for – liberty and flexibility – and reproducing phones like a rodent.

The Way Android OS Is
Lastly, Samsung bet on Android OS, a platform that by its very nature ensures that cannibalization of its hardware partners is the only way forward. The truth is that the Android ecosystem is unable to sustain a huge number of brands (especially big ones) for a significant period without them being edged out by newer ones. New brands will keep showing up and eating up the lunch of older brands simply by pushing lower costs. The lunch will keep getting smaller and smaller till eventually there is no lunch to eat by anyone. This is a subject for another day (see my older article, Perhaps iOS is the only commercially viable smartphone platform though for a hint), but being the top Android dog now means that Samsung is right in the middle of this atrophy. See: Who exactly is making money on Android OS?

On The Ground
I was with a group of people last week and someone asked for phones to add to a list of outstanding bargain-for-money smartphones. Not one Samsung was mentioned. I asked why. People responded with one form of dismissal or the other. All of them agreed when someone finally replied that there was nothing from Samsung that is striking enough in terms of features and value versus pricing.

You may disagree, but Samsung phones are not selling enough and the company’s profits are taking a hit. That response cannot be too far from the truth.

The Way Forward?
In my opinion, the way out for Samsung is to cut off multiple products across the various price segments and produce just one device per segment yearly – one flagship, one mid-tier, and one budget device. Cut off all waste. Add back the missing feature at the high end. Innovate some more. More like be the premium poster boy of Android, instead of trying to be everything to everyone that they currently are trying to be. Yes; this means that Samsung will lose marketshare, but they stand a better chance of staying profitable that way.

However you look at it, it is tough to be Samsung Mobile right now.

Look inside your house for the source of your problems

By the way, 78 milla for a friggin website ? Haba na

...."‎Wike’s lawyer, Mr. Emmanuel Ukala (SAN), urged the tribunal to be persuaded by a ruling delivered by the Imo State Governorship Elections Petition Tribunal in Owerri on July 22, 2015, dismissing the petition filed by the PDP’s governorship candidate in the state, Emeka Ihedioha, on the grounds of the petitioner’s failure to pay the N100 fee for the filing of the pre-hearing notice......"

Seems there's a very recent precedent to the veracity of this pls

Please you people should go and download the android app for the site whether it belongs to LASG or not. Barely 50 downloads is a travesty considering the huge investment of tax payers cash involved.

Besides someone on this forum said he could create something more solid than that trash at an asking price of £10,000 (3 million + naira in todays exchange rate) and that would be him just being greedy. Why Fashola dey fall our hands like this na

Our amiable darling ex governor of Lagos state and poster boy of APC change mantra has recently confessed agreed that 78 million naira was spent on his (personal) website with state funds (if the site was really state owned, it wouldn't bear his name).

Now in his write up, he made mention of things like pigs and other relevant stuff like mobile platforms namely IOS, android, blackberry and windows but nobody cared to ask if this wonderful site really has mobile applications and how much it really takes to place those apps on apple whatever, google play, blackberry app world, windows store etc. Is the 78 million justifiable for such an important site compared to its content ?
I would really love answers to these questions since I'm thinking of changing business orientation to web development especially for APC state governors.

Yours sincerely

A concerned wailing wailer

Really marvelous time yesterday in the twittersphere, I enjoyed the bloodbath especially when the apc masťurbators tried deceiving themselves that the account was hacked

Oshobaba don hammer big time

Democratic dictatorship like I said if we needed to suspend the constitution like that møron said, we could simply invite the military to take over

SHUT UP you foolish wailing ma§turbator. You are advised to search for your brain at the hospital where you were delivered before rats start making jest of your minute intelligence

Don't mind the Wanking Zombies. They scream "He's not relevant", "He talks trash", "Every one has abandoned him". But when he creates a thread, They rush to it like a Zombie who sees fresh blood. Very despicable set of Wankers.
Cc: passingshot, beremx, and other Wanking masturbators.

don't get it twisted, as "irrelevant" as barcanista is, his write ups are keeping this present administration on its toes evidenced by the amount counter threads the APC ma§turbatotrs have to release to discredit his own. I just pray this government stops goofing around and gets down to the business of governance
