I don't believe you Mr Seun! No genuine man of God would condemn others just to preach the gospel

You've got to be kidding me.

There are literally thousands of Nigerian evangelicals that screech and scream as their standard Modus Operandi.

I know the annoying guy that walks around at 5:30 am preaching loudly with his megaphone considers himself a 'genuine man of God'

Francon:
Advocating rape ke? How? And you see no wrong in them staying together in d same cell? Your brain must have been formatted! seems you n Osama are of the same breed. Mtshew

If you don't see how putting women in the same cell as hardened male criminals will end up in rape, you're dafter than I thought. Though from your words I think you know very well what you were advocating.

Also, if you think putting them in the same cell equals a continuation of their relationship, it would appear you have a childishly flawed imagination of how Nigerian prisons are. Putting them in the same cell means they get to share the same cell with maybe 10 other women.

Francon:
They should mixed them with the guys in the cell. That way, they will understand it's Adam n Eve. Not Adam and Adamu or Eve and Evelyn...

What kind of miserable woman are you, that you're openly advocating the violent rape of women, members of your own sex?

From where I stand, I see no difference between you and shekau. Both of you seem to take pleasure in the torment of others who do not subscribe to your beliefs.

you and the three folks that 'liked' your post are scum.

So no Dr Adadevoh? Thats is unfair. Imagine if she had not insisted that Sawyer be retained in an hospital. Imagine for once if she had allowed him to go to another hospital. Imagine the impact on the world especially with Nigeria's population.

To me this one is not just a doctor but a big hero. I can't in particular forget how encouraging she was to both myself and my late fiancee when she was disagnosed with a brain tumor. She is my person of the millennium.

The world is much bigger than Nigeria. And there are doctors in Liberia and Sierra Leone that are deliberately putting their lives on the line much more frequently than Dr Adadevoh did.

Many doctors lost their lives fighting Ebola. TIME isn't going to put every single one on the cover. This cover and award gives a blanket award on all of them, including Dr Adadevoh

More appalled at the terrible picture quality. Were these pics taken with a potato?

That is one damn ugly watch.

Not sure why this is front page worthy. 50k for a watch isn't exactly earth shattering.

The OP is not serious

If she were, the first thing she would have done would be to persistently ask her BF why he threw the shirt away and then plan a course of action depending on his answer.

Communication is key. Nobody commenting here knows what happens in your house. First step should always be to try to communicate before coming to Nairaland to sound the opinions of the mob

Still can't understand how you go about with empty scull you called brain. Needless to tell you the motives behind Oby's relentless fight to bring back the girls. Those who opposed GEJ administration in the past eventually pitched their tents wit the government they once criticized. I am sure you are still collecting food money from your parents, it tells in your reasoning. A frustrated Oby looking for relevance in all quaters, yet fibble minds like yours can't descern it. I don't think it is necessary to join issues with you,Oby's e-rat!

Here's the deal. When you learn how to spell 'feeble' and 'skull', I'll pay you the attention it seems you desperately crave. Deal?

Oh, those jibes about money? Let's not go down that route, OK?

tenry:
Your stup.idity is legendary cos if you ar not stupid, you won't come hear and be defending one God forsaken woman. If you are not stupid, you will knw that she is an attention seeking woman ranting to get noticed for a public office. If you are not stupid, was she at the book launch to bring back the girls?, or does that scene resembled protest ground? if you are not stupid,how on earth ll you think someone can NEVER achieve what she has achieved in d past? It is obvious u ar one of the scavengers feeding from the crumbs on Ezekwesili's table. Get life and stop thinking u can never attain a great height but if you think so, so be it.

And if you're not a goat, you'll know that she's one of the few people that's trying to get these girls back. she's mostly over there in Abuja, rallying folks to demand the Government sits up to do the right thing and bring those girls back. Not even the Pastors you'd prefer she hangs around with have done anything near what she has done to try to bring the girls back.
Apparently to clowns like you, when someone has a cause, that person has to have zero social life. That person cannot attend events held by their friends.

Someone has already been an accomplished minister and is well known to millions of Nigerians and yet you're ranting that she 'wants to get noticed'. If she wanted to be 'noticed' or wanted 'public office', why would she take a position opposed to the Government of the day? Yet you claim you are not brainless!

Abeg stop pouring invective on people doing things you don't have the cojones to do. Cheers

tenry:
Eyah! Pele. It is obvious you ar pained by that post. From today, just begin to see how your life ll witness great set back. Your generation is cursed, sickness and untimely death is released upon you and as this year is fast running out, so will you run into troublr all the days of your life. Stu.pid brainless mo.ron.

Oh look, an internet e-curse. How cute

When you grow up, come back and talk.

Last time I checked, this woman was a deaconess in the Redeemed christian church of God, annual camp in ongoing at kilometre 45, lagos/Ib expressway and aunty Obi is here doing something else.

Last time i checked, this woman is one of the few Nigerians still trying to make sure that the Chibok girls do not remain forgotten and they are reunited with their parents.
That makes her one of the few living heroes we have in Nigeria, and a good deal more brave, more honorable and more GODLY than your cowardly self who will NEVER achieve anything near what this woman has achieved.

What she is doing with the #Bringbackourgirls campaign is a good deal more important than anything she could be doing in the Redeemed Camp.

Rubbish

major466:
Why do I have this strange feeling that APC is using Prof Abiola to cause confusion in PDP, a very peaceful party?
She must be dreaming if she thinks she stand an atom chance against almighty GEJ.

Why do I have the strange feeling that you're being paid to post this tripe on Nairaland?

eleojo23:
The article is incomplete.
More from the article
The association explained that politicians have turned the insurgency into a thriving field; “Needless, senseless violence triggered by anger, hate and intolerance and, above all, by fear.In recent months many politicians have tried to claim that one political party or another is secretly using Boko Haram for their own ends.

“Giving instructions; providing them with weapons and finance; yet not one piece of evidence has been forthcoming. Accusations and denials have filled the newspapers, but these politicians do not want to help our community.”

CAN observed that the main purpose of this divide and rule is to achieve some political gains.

“They just want our votes so that they can look after themselves. They feed on fear and gorge themselves on terror. They demonstrate that they can be no part of Nigeria’s future so long as they remain wedded to exploitation of terror for short-term political gain.

This hypocritical Pastor can not bring himself to say the truth...that the most fervent finger-pointing is coming from the PDP, from the likes of Okupe and Metuh.
Even Oritsejafor has long since adopted a modus operandi of blaming Northern Muslims and fostering a climate of religious intolerance.

Worst CAN president we've ever had.

According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened around 9.30 am, and the LASTMA officials supposedly seized and confiscated the phones of passersby who attempted to film the scuffle.

Nigerians have been so humiliated and oppressed into cowardice sha. LASTMA have no right to confiscate anybody's phone. In fact, you are well within your right to fight them in self-defence if they try to take your phone.

Any Lastma official trying to grab your phone should be treated like an armed robber.

Very soon now, even Mr Biggs security guard will start seizing phones from people on the street and they will mumu-ishly concede.

What Is all this 'we will' and 'we may'?

Make it law, make it a guideline and enforce it. It doesn't take Ages to get this done.

This is something Stealer Oduah should have put in place. It's a no-brainer. People should not have to land in lagos by 12 midnight because of airline delay and be left to meander home in the dark.

Of course we're generous.

We're the guys that reward bad, kleptocratic leaders with our votes.

dabigjoe6:
sorry 4 calling u a big fool but i think u are 1, was rome buit in a day. A nigerian invested is money in this product if we dont buy it how do u want it to get better
even d top phone in d world iphone from d nation of d world is assembled in china

Thanks for showing the world how brainless you are. I don't even have to say anything.

Cheers

Martinsmeshach:
so except the ps4 because i dont need it, the note 4 is not waterproof and dust proof and upon the 20mp of xperia z3 you said note 4 is the best

Here's a protip that will serve you well when you hunt for your next phone or camera:

The Megapixel count is NOT an indication of how good a camera is, compared to another.

If water and dust proofing is higher on your list than an all round more powerful performance and screen, go for the Z3.

Martinsmeshach:
ok thanks, do you mean you can play ps4 games on note 4 also with the pad

Remote play. Means IF you have a PS4 and you can sideload the app from Xda-developers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147

Then you should be able to mirror your PS4 games via wifi to your phone for off-TV play.

Of course this works seamlessly with the Z3.

caramel007:
I lost my samsung galaxy s5 a couple of days ago. Thursday precisely and I have not been able to get over it. Immediately I discovered it was missing, I tried calling it but it wasn't connecting. Though the battery was lOw but it was on battery saving mode which would still take me about 7hours or so. I ve searched everywhere for it. But when I tried calling it on friday morning around 10am but it was switched off. Hard as it seems I just can't seem to let go. I feel so bad and I have cried my eyes out.

Is there any hope of recovery? Though I didn't activate the anti theft app. Can it be tracked? Please I need phone gurus in the house to come to my rescue....

Did you register for a Samsung account? You can track the phone with that.

Next time you get an Android phone, install Cerberus backup from Google play. If you're rooted and you give the app root access, it can survive even reflashing and will prompt you when anyone puts in another SIM

sKeetz:
Chai!! A month or two pay for dįck Riding just gone like that.. Must be very painful op

Sometimes I hate the lax moderation on Nairaland. Such an offensive comment and yet it's still up, hours after. Seriously sexist point of view to label any girl using a flagship phone as a 'prostitute'.

Flagging this to the mods.

So a rebranded Galaxy Note chinese clone is now the 'indigenous Nigerian phone' that we should support because 'we are Nigerians'?

Sometimes I can barely believe some things I read on Nairaland.


I'll support phones made in Nigeria. Or even assembled in Nigeria. Not phones wholly made in China with a Nigerian name slapped on it.

let's not even dwell on the sheer idiocy of anyone buying an Android 4.2 phone right now.

Martinsmeshach:
Hi friends in samsung note 4 and xperia z3 which one is better

Depends on what you want.

Note 4 has a bigger and better screen (2k Super-AMOLED vs 1080p IPS LCD) and is more powerful (Snapdragon 805 vs 801).

Note 4 has the stylus support and has a better camera (forget the 20 MP megapixel count of the Z3, the Note 4 has perhaps the best phone camera of 2014)

Note 4 gives you an entry into VR with the Gear VR add-on.

Xperia Z3 has a pretty great battery life. Not sure if it tops the Note 4. If you've got a PS4, you can do remote play on the Z3. Though you can sideload the remote play app from Xda on your Note 4

Note 4 is a massive phone. Z3 is more pocketable.


Bottom line is, if you can stomach the size, i'd go with the Note 4. Or perhaps a Nexus 6 if you can find it. Z3 is a great phone too, you can't go too wrong with both

rhymz:
hahahahh.... Would he have rejected it if despite the irregularities he was announced as the winner?

This is conjecture. What is a FACT is that with 806 accredited delegates, 860 votes is just a clear sign that the voting was rigged.

And you're there laughing. This is your own country that politicians are destroying...and you're laughing.

Shame.

Why is this dumb article making the front page?

Journalist experiences turbulence mid-air and decides to spin it as a fault of the Dana Plane.

I can't think of any local carrier that hasn't had cases of air conditioning being sub-optimal before. Especially Arik Air.


Lots of things to tackle Dana on, but this is a non-issue, and just an all-round brainless article. Not sure what the emphasis on the age of the aircraft is for. Lots of airplanes remain airworthy even FAR longer than that 20 years.

AdeniyiA:
Atiku -- presidential desperado since 1759

Shouldn't you weep more for the Nigeria that has been experiencing bad leaders since time immemorial?

Some of the people sniggering at the 'womanizing' bit practically worship some of their General Overseers that boast about how they were 'in the world' before they got saved.

Shebi Kris Okotie was a womanizer before he became a Pastor?

rosemary1500:
bros d mata taya me ooo all dis samsung freaks don let me open ma mouth today. nonesense samsung dat always crack screen if e fall down. God forbid! tufiapa, and dem no fit maintain d fone sef na so-so shakara dem sabi. na TECNO good pass jor wetin consign me consign sam

I'm not even sure why Samsung came up in this discussion. It's simply a warning from a reputable security agency. Heed it or not, that's your issue.

michaelbiz:
In your quest to show you are VERY INTELLIGENT, you have shown EXACTLY how DUMB!!! you are.

You hurriedly took this thread to a debate, but left the nitty-gritty of what we are faced with.

Let me fry your sorry ass with local news (I won't even go far).

Tecno Rules Nigerian Smartphone Market
- Beats Samsung, Blackberry

Posted on July 16, 2014.
Tecno has taken over the smartphone market in Nigeria, displacing once-very popular brands like Blackberry, Samsung and Nokia. Hallmark investigations have revealed.

Read full story here later http://www.hallmarknews.com/tecno-rules-nigerian-smartphone-market/


1. Analysis of the AFRICAN MARKET is NOT captured on a global scale because they are referred to as "emerging markets".
That means, nothing you posted here shows what is going on in Africa...except it is clearly spelt out as EMERGING MARKETS!


2. Let me first laugh at your stupidity You don't know jack! about malware business.

Samsung is actually a conglomerate comprised of 80 companies, including an ad agency, credit card, securities and other financial institutions, giving the Galaxy maker “a wide range of expertise and global connections at hand” to conduct corporate warfare, should it wish.

Read a story here about Samsung playing this security malware card on Apple after losing their $1 billion patent lawsuit to Apple in 2012.
Educate yourself baby boy!

Click here http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/04/24/samsung-apple-trolls/

3. TECNO has taken over ...I mean irrevocably taken over the AFRICAN MARKET!
Market watchers here locally are consistently seeing the high influx importation of TECNO products into the country.
And even a 5 year old can understand why. And you can't even still understand with this your opolo eye? Buhahaha

a. PRESTIGE & CLASS is what Samsung claims to sell. Sorry dear, that market has shrinked with the cost faced by incessant repairs of Samsung smartphones! You sef no fit deny say your Samsung Galaxy never fu.c.k you up

b. This is AFRICA. You play the game to win not to compete. Olodo! What does the MAJOR MARKET consist? THE COMMON MAN!!!

c. TECNO delivers all the Android features without any boundary to who would afford it. SIMPLE STRATEGY!!! End of Story.

d. TECNO has re-defined the emerging market business with an all-time high sales index pitching a trend for both HIGH-END LUXURY SMARTPHONES & LOW-CAPABILITY SMARTPHONES which you are referring to as Chinko.

Why? Because you DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO BUSINESS like your stupid Samsung. Only to open your mouth and spread Malware-scare to Nairalanders!

Go and play with sand jare

All this long story and absolutely zero susbstance.

The entire point of discussion with you was that Tecno is a FAR smaller threat to Samsung than the likes of Xiaomi, Lenovo et al. You disputed that.
I proceeded to show you that Samsung is FAR more worried about those other Chinese OEMs that sell more in a week than Tecno sells in a Quarter. You still persist in your ignorance.

You don't even seem to realize the inanity in posting articles about Tecno being the market leader in Nigeria. When Blackberry was the market leader in Nigeria, did that prevent them from nearly slipping into bankruptcy?

I asked you for any possible reason why you think Samsung could manipulate Lookout Security (valued at > $1bn, 45 million users) and you're posting an article about Samsung's habits of trolling tech blogs?

https://i1.wp.com/memecollection.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/black-guy-laughing-on-boat-gif.gif


Abeg go and learn and come back to discuss instead of airing your ignorance in public. Nobody is disputing whether Tecno has 'taken over the Nigerian market' or not. In the grand scheme of things, that does as much to Samsung's bottom line as BlackBerry's one-time dominance in Nigeria did when it came to keeping them afloat.

michaelbiz:
You see why I said there is no need to argue with you?

Oh dear! Those brands you mentioned are so strong indeed.
LOL
Hahahaha. You know absolutely NOTHING about me...research all you want!
It's for people like you to find out.
So lame of you to say. Damn!

The simple bitter truth is you have no sales data of ANYTHING you are purporting here.
The whole world's data is showing AFRICA as the target reason for Samsung's depletion in market share and you're so dumb to read between the lines.
Sorry for you: your case is sad, boy!

The 'whole world'?

"Samsung is struggling in the Chinese market and it may take a while until the situation improves," said Lee Min-Hee, an analyst at Seoul-based IM Investment and Securities.
China's Xiaomi dethroned Samsung as the top smartphone seller in China, with its share rising to 14 percent in the second quarter followed by Samsung's 12 percent, according to estimates by the market research firm Canalys.

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/19240/20141102/the-fall-of-a-giant-samsung-aiming-to-smartphone-profits-into-gear-with-cheaper-low-end-devices.htm
The biggest threat right now to Samsung's dominance in the market place is not Google, Apple, or Microsoft, but the upcoming Chinese powerhouse, Xiaomi. This company from China is still small compared to Samsung, but it is growing fast, and not to mention, Xiaomi is the largest smartphone maker in China.

BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29516806

Samsung's mobile division, its biggest business, has been struggling to maintain its dominance against rivals[b] such as Apple and Chinese smartphone-makers Xiaomi and Lenovo.[/b]
Samsung still has around 25% of the market, down from 33% a year ago, but a trio of Chinese firms Lenovo, Huawei and Xiaomi have rapidly grabbed a big slice.

The Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/electronics/10952864/Samsung-profits-fall-25pc-as-demand-in-China-slows.html

Samsung Electronics said operating profit declined to a two-year low in the second quarter, hit by the strong local currency and slowing demand for its smartphones in China.



Also, here's a handy chart from the Wall Street Journal in case you have difficulties reading

https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/MK-CQ442_SAMDRO_16U_20141030174805.jpg

I took the pains to post all these to conclusively show everyone you have no idea what you're talking about.

Here's a protip for you, little man: When you're in a hole, stop digging!!

Waiting for you to post another brainless, drunken post about how all these analysts are wrong and how it's the relatively small number of phones Tecno sells in Nigeria that is responsible for the pinch Samsung is feeling right now.

jiggar:
Some people's comment can be very funny. So because people decide to use chinese phones, they are not I.T inclined. Last week GSMArena was hacked, inspite of its high status. Last year ,we heard of germany's chancellor phone been hacked. Whatever phone you are using, your info can still be spied on. Even iphone that seems impenetrable, now experiences attacks. Anything and everything created by man, can still be destroyed by man. If you all should know the underground spy work being carried out by the top nations, you would be amazed, and you think because you are using a premium phone, your info can't be stolen. I would advice you to think again.

External attacks are one thing. They can be avoided or warded against.

Pre-flashed malware is a whole new beast entirely. From day one, even with all the precautions in the world, you're already in the hole.

There's a whole lot of difference. did you really need that pointed out to you?
