chuna1985:
Has buhari tried any APC looters in any nigerian court

Does Buhari try anyone? Is he a judge?

It's not like many people have been tried since he took power, anyway.

Why are you so concerned about the political affiliation of any looters?

lawyer:
Trial of Ex governors to begin soon, trial of looters to begin soon, trial of ex ministers to begin soon, trial of PDP to begin soon, trial of everybody to begin soon. Truthfully we are Fatigued from all the "begin soon" trial by media. Osibanjo as a SAN should help educate Buhari that trials are not fried rice and chicken. Even the accused are entitled to rights and to challenge the court process through injunctions, motions, appeals, adjournment etc which could take years before a conviction could be achieved. The noise APC spends on this Trial and a Probe issue is just a distraction from the substantive issues they promised Nigerians before the elections.

While we are in the season of Trials, hope Buhari hasn't forgotten that Audu Abubakar is on Trial for stealing Kogi's state N11billion and it's the same Audu that APC intends to present as it's candidate and the same Audu Buhari intends to raise his hand and campaign for. When is Buhari going to reinstate his commitment to sanitize Kogi state and corruption. Also Buhari should not forget the mismanagement of Lagos state funds by Fashola and how he plundered Lagos state into a 400billion debt planting flowers and designing 78million website. Is he not going to sanitize Lagos too with all the plethora of petitions filed against Fashola?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. PMB should not make this probe thing selective and should stop making noise about probes and focus on the economy. It's already shameful that the UN feels disappointed in Nigeria for not attending a seminar organized for it and APC should stop deflecting its ineptitude with the crys of probe anytime people question it's competence.

He said TRIAL will begin soon, not that the looters will be jailed soon. Why are you drinking Panadol for someone else's headache? Why are you try to correct something that was not even said?

For your information, Mr Wailer, nobody cares about your 'distraction' whinings. Millions of Nigerians voted Buhari in to tackle corruption, including punitive measures against those who were previously used to looting with impunity. Which other 'substantive' issues should he address, especially when he's already tackling security issues?

Atmmachine:
I laugh at news like this.
You craved for change that's why you voted for Buhari & He's now your president.
Now, you can enjoy the change you all have been craving for.
And your president is currently in New York enjoying.

The alternative was to embrace insanity: sticking with the same clueless PDP administration and expecting different results.

All we are suffering now is down to the failure of the last fellow to nip boko haram in the bud when they were still small fry.

Fishy story.

You met a girl in 2013 during NYSC. You left NYSC and relocated when she was 18. Which means you were romancing a minor.

Now you say you got a job after 3 years. Which means 2016.

We are in 2015. OP, have you invented time travel?
Is your babe getting married at 20+ years of age?

You people are not even bothering to lie creatively again

Abi!Islam is a double standard religion.

medics were also working round the clock to save those who died in the Synagogue collapse.

Would you say that's a good opportunity to mock Christianity too?

Flets:
What's with all these media hype by the military?

They catch a farmer and name him Bokoharam kingin
They run into kegs of fuel kegs and then term it a fuel depot
Tomorrow they tell us they've finished bokoharam and yet the bombs keep going off

Since when did the military find solace in the media?
Why can't they focus on military intelligence and leave the media?

Destroying a fuel dump without apprehending the suppliers is useless as they can easily set up another

Everything is wrong with APC

Strangely, this type of info release by the army was met with rave reviews by you wailers before May 29th.

KuliMart:
Hope you now see that the 16GB version is selling @$249.99

Same way redmi note 2 was announced and what happened to the price
We have been selling Xioami product and we know how things goes.

Keeping quiet is the best thing to do.

The official price released by Xiaomi is as I stated, and is reproduced in hundreds of articles in tech blogs following the annoucement.

Please stop using 3rd party vendor sites as your own 'proof'. If Gizchina is selling for $249, how does that concern this discussion?

This is the Phone section, and usually announcement threads are done to announce new devices and reproduce specs, features and pricing information released or announced by the manufacturers. The fact that you happily omitted the official price from your first post is laughable.


For the last time, I suggest you open up another thread in the Tech market section (in line with Nairaland rules) if you want to showcase your own price. But for the purposes of this thread, I beg you, stick to the official price, let consumers make their own decision.

the fact that you cannot understand and appreciate this simple correction is quite embarrassing, to be honest.

dollz:
When I join the auto section in 2009/10, it was vibrant in terms of sales, dealer partnership and transparency.
However ,in the last few months, I think our auto section is dying.
I joined NL to sell cars and learn more about the car business but it seems like serious clients go to olx,cheki and efritin.com.NL is now full of online pricers who probably have 15mb data to burn.I have nothing against speculators but I'm incensed particularly at those who price cars like crayfish in oyingbo market.

My question is how do we get serious paying clients to come to the auto section without investing in heavy dollar ads

Urs truly

To be fair, it became FAR more annoying when this site became overrun with extremely greedy, unethical dealers.
What we get now is resellers annoying potential buyers with insane markups, and dealers refusing to post prices publicly for discussion.


A long time ago, it was the norm to post prices, high quality photos AND the VIN number of vehicles so buyers could do their own homework. Now even to post pricing information is a struggle.


Take a look at your own posts. You have an ancient 2003 Corolla up for sale...Nigerian used, 110k + mileage and you're listing it up for 1.1 million, why will buyers not call to price at hundreds of thousands of Naira below your list price, since that is the going rate in the open market?

asamaigho:
as in gosh dat na electric iron oo,
i dey use my lgpro iron my cloth,snapdragon is so fucking overrated.

Actually, this year's Snapdragon 810 is the first one from Qualcomm that has had a serious overheating issue. Which is why everyone else is jumping to the much cooler 808.

I wouldn't say they are overrated. Qualcomm's flagship Chipsets are always quite a bit more powerful than Mediatek's efforts

truefact:
You dont.even have anything to dream about...ypu a shameless dunce...you have nothing and knows nothing. ..you have no aspiration and hope. ..

Is that why you write like an addled primary school pupil, o wise one?
Your grammar is atrocious! Leave Biafra matter alone and invest in a decent night school in your area.

I can give you tutorials via telephone, but you must apologize to me first, then promise not to eat meat for three months as penance.

john4reala:
Buhari was right when he said; "monkeys and baboons will be soaked in blood" because we don't reason like humans. What do you think DESPOTISM is all about - when a president is not following the"map of governance"; when he doesn't care what the constitution says; when he is doing the work of the ministers; when he is commanding the killing of unarmed innocent civilians etc. I'm looking forward to a time when once-a- military will not be allowed to contest for any elections in Africa.

Don't be daft
This is a topic about Rochas Okorocha, a Governor who is empowered to run the State Government according to the Nigerian constitution. What does this have to do with Buhari? Was it a Buhari issue when Gov Nyesom Wike borrowed the same 20bn to carry out 'major projects'?

If you're drunkenly looking for someone to blame at random, why not Arsene Wenger or Pasuma Wonder?

Always sharing rice, yam, ram etc.

Abeg can anyone mention the major projects this Governor has done since he took office ?

christinie:
APC and lies!


One day this APCheats will tell us that GEJ and his ministers were paid a billion dollars each time they breathed/coughed and these gullible kids would still believe.


APCheats desperately trying everything within their power to appear better than the last regime since May 29th.

When you grow up, stop collecting pocket money from your mummy and daddy and start paying taxes you will learn to be more outraged over waste of taxpayer funds by clueless and kleptocratic politicians.

I suppose we will have to put up with these your childish rants on nairaland until that happens :-(

teewhydope:
Wao!!

You you should have handled the matter without attaching any insult


#coming_from_your_follower

But I'm right, though.
Absolutely ridiculous for marketers to muddy up announcement threads with sales and markup stuff.

KuliMart:
Price will be made available soon.

YOUR price. Not Xiaomi's price, which is already clear in the article, and which you cleverly omitted in the OP.
Make that distinction, please.

Jeffy1206:
the guy is right... Xiaomi will always announce with cheap price and start selling higher... You stating a price that is never achievable will only raise adreno of some people... Lemme ask you sef, do you believe that a snapdragon phone will sell below 50 especially this type?

Xiaomi never inflates their announced prices in mainland China . Abeg show evidence for your claims.

and yes, a snapdragon phone can sell for this amount if an OEM operates at razor thin margins like Xiaomi does.

There's a reason why their profits are relativeky small...

Txonyi:
are you people daft?
what we will support is BIAFRA
the ZOO and its PMB President of Monkeys and Baboons can never get our support because we are not ANIMALS.
BIAFRA must be restored
my goodness me

Biafra will never be restored. You will continue to weep and gnash your teeth in despair and hatred.

KuliMart:
We do not need you in this thread, because you know not what you're saying.


Stop giving inaccurate price here. You can travel to China to get yours.

Please don't be daft.

This is NOT a sales thread. This is a discussion thread on a newly announced phone. And the nominal price Tag for these phones are as stated earlier, when converted to naira. As long as they aren't being sold directly in naija, the sale price is the best reference for people. Let them make allowance for seller profits / shipping as they want.

Nobody cares what your markup will be. By all means, open up a sales thread in the tech market section with your markup on it, but stop bleating your inane nonsense here.

Smh

Chosen1984:
Well noted! Your point has being noted

How gracious of you.

If it's any consolation, I think you fully deserve whatever cash you're being paid.

nofij:
You dont deserve a reply from me at all.
Have a nice day.

I certainly care nothing for your replies.

Betake thyself and thy inane posts out of my sight!

KuliMart:
At what exchange rate did you convert that, and also how many pieces will you buy at the rate of 46k each from the factory?

Pls don't cause confusion here with this your price.

The converted price for the two phones are $206 for the 16GB/2GB version and $235 for the 3GB/32GB version. Those prices are in the public domain everywhere, and that's the price for a single phone, not any rubbish bulk purchase.


You'd better start contacting your agents if you have any. Those phones go on sale this week.


https://images.anandtech.com/doci/9653/CPffto_UcAAHqbI.png

Higher end phone is 1499 yuan. and 1 Yuan = 31.22 Naira. Total price = N46,788. Much cheaper for the 16Gb version

Of course shipping costs may nudge this a bit higher...

Chosen1984:
Afeeeeceeeeee

Do you guys have a Whatsapp group where you co-ordinate the storm of anti-APC drivel as soon as a propaganda piece is posted?

It probably goes like this:

"Guys, I just posted this propaganda story from Post Nigeria in this link. Abeg book the first few posts to abuse APC and Buhari. N100 prize goes to the person with the most creative insult"

lol

At this rate, PDP will not survive to reach 2018.

Instead of understanding that many Nigerians were tired of the gross waste, the shameless corruption, unchecked insecurity and the inefficient management of Nigeria's resources by the PDP and wanted a change, it seems the PDP bigwigs have decided that it was the activities of online media like Saharareporters that made GEJ's loss possible.

Now we have mushroom blogs and online propaganda sites like the Trent, Post Nigeria, Breaking Times, Saving Grace Reporters and NewsRescue making up fishy, inane propaganda pieces, always attributed to unknown sources and credible only to folks of limited intelligence, like the posters above me.


I look forward to when it dawns on PDP that these transparent, poorly written pieces are nearly useless, since they cater only to existing wailers

Nigeria needs credible and vigorous opposition. It's time for APGA or Labor Party to step up since PDP is clearly in terminal decline

Whynotthetruth:
Don't fall for Ngeneukwenu smart by half approach..

That was Nigeria's 50th/golden jubilee independence celebration... Maybe he would tomorrow compare it too to the centenary celebration too...

Check out expenditure as against cost in this reluctant budget of buhari smh...

Don't allow folks force you to compare your marriage introduction rites cost to someone else's wedding cost...they aren't same...

Nobody cares if it was the centenary celebration. Paying N50 million for 'calisthenics performance' and 350 million for 'Unity torch tour' is just plain crazy.

100 million for cultural dances and masquerades?!

Rubbish

sats:
snapdragon ... dat hotplate chip
#TeamMTK

Snapdragon 810 was the only one with the overheating issues.

The 808 has no such issues, and is faster than competing MTK variants.

At the converted price of 46k (or so) for the higher end 3GB model, this is an incredible deal

This is an AWESOME phone for the price point.
let's put it plainly. if you buy a Techno Phantom over this, you're an utter fool.

stickncarrot:
I have said it that am not a politician and I am not for or against any party.

Can you answer this in all honesty?

Between GEJ and Buhari, who is a democrat?

Can you stop moving goalposts?

Please APOLOGIZE first for misleading the public then you'll get your answer.

stickncarrot:
Search GEJ's tenure and tell me any media he has cautioned for doing their duty. Buhati is a dictator, not a Democrat.

This is what happens when they throw you poorly informed pawns out on Social media and Nairaland to propagate lies for N50 per post.
Thank God we also remember the following

Military, SSS seize, destroy major Nigerian newspapers
http://www.punchng.com/news/military-sss-seize-destroy-major-nigerian-newspapers/

For the first time in recent memory, Nigerian soldiers were used to seize, destroy and mutilate Nigerian papers, for two days running. Under your precious GEJ!

I thought l was the only one that was miffed by "@Lawyer's comment!
It was very disappointing, to put it mildly!


Lastpage!

It's highly offensive and tone deaf. You'd get eviscerated for that kind of comment in the media if you were a public figure.

Empathy and common sense must never be abdicated in a quest for 'likes' online.

It's thrown in stark relief when one considers the horrific tales of sexual abuse (gang rapes, forced marriages) many of the released female captives of boko haram have to share.

Your comment was top notch, by the way.

lawyer:
Jokes aside. This country is sick. This is a former Minister of Finance, ex-Secretary to the Government and Former Presidential Candidate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a Yoruba Elder statesman that has been kidnapped. In civilized countries, the highest level of security alert would be raised to locate this Very Important personality within hours and try to forestall such from Happening again. But then again this is Nigeria where anything can happen. This is a very very sick country and i am surprised this is happening under a Buhari led APC Government that promised the highest level of security to all Nigerians.

Can this be traced to the withdrawal of police men from Nigerian VIPS or what? This is just as bad as the kidnapping of the Chibok Girls and its sad a whole Former Presidential candidate can be picked off the streets without a whimper of resistance. APC led Government must take responsibility for this and wake up to their responsibilities. Its over 5 months now and they cannot hide under the excuse of we are not prepared or handover security notes have not been properly briefed to Buhari. If GEJ was roundly criticized for the Chibok Girls kidnap, Buhari and APC must accept this one as their fault or are they going to blame GEJ for this one too? No VIP of Falae's stature has ever been kidnapped this easily in Nigeria and they should do everything possible to locate him ASAP unless this would further dent our poor security image.

don't be silly.


1. Equating Falae's kidnap to the chibok scandal. The whole world was outraged due to the kidnap of vulnerable, young ladies who are much more likely to be abused. The kidnap of an elderly man who is most assuredly being held for ransom and is in much less risk of physical abuse is not comparable in the slightest.


2. Saying the APC has been in power for 5 months is the height of cluelessness.

3. Tying this kidnap to withdrawal of illegally assigned policemen is really daft. Withdrawing our much needed policemen was an extremely smart move. The FG cannot protect everyone.

You clowns keep politicizing everything and it's pathetic.

Lol. Nobody will ever take NANS serious as long as that toadie of a NANS president is still there.

Shameless sycophancy indeed.

What is he doing ? Eating in a restaurant and taking photos with semi-literate sheep?
