Murphy T: AND HE COLLECTED IT...SHAME ON HIM, AFTER BLEATING FOR SO LONG

[quote author=Intrepid!]Social Media activist my under-governed arse! Modafoka was looking for cheap publicity and got it! I thought he was suing them for N50million, how come he settled for an ipad3 after yelling he lost 'valuable documents' in the missing tablet? To think it was an ipad2 he lost... No shame. I sure say na mojo and Angry birds e dey play for the one wey miss come dey shout parapara everywhere. Fug him, and fug that crappy Arik.[/quote][quote author=Mr. Globe]That empty loud mouth is a thief. Arik just disembursed him for their image because of the people following him on twitter. Those are the people dumb poor nigerians allow to speak for them. Another yorrober crook. The problem with nigeria. Another Ruebben Abatti in the making.[/quote]Cowardly dogs!
Nigerians are beginning to stand up to big, faceless corporations and demand for good customer service. Just like the man who successfully sued LASTMA and won, Omojuwa took the fight to Arik Air and has now got back an iPad to compensate him for the one lost under shady circumstances.

I realize not every Nigerian must be a leader, but it riles seriously when cowards like you who will not do anything to stand up for your rights will now come up and insult those brave enough to do so.

donigspain: ^^^Your insults ridden comment does not in any way portray you in good light of knowledge. Read my comment again and see where my stance lies. I am in NO WAY supporting the tribal-coated political circumstance of Abia state. I was only trying to explain the situation of things that resulted to the re-election of T.A Orji which is not in ANY WAY related to cowardice but rather a myopic understanding of politics/leadership by the people of Abia state.

Cowardice and fear are birds of the same feather.
Tribalism is even worse than cowardice.

donigspain: NB: You need to work on controlling whatever things that come out from your brain because your comments sells you out as a likely autistic patient.

Autism is usually detected before age 3. Dissing a grown man for 'likely autism' is rather m0r0nic. Why didn't you choose another disorder to yab me with so you wouldn't look so foolish?

Please focus on the vital issues of overcoming your petty phobias of Ngwa men so you will not have cause to snivel and whine on Nairaland in 2015 about terrible leaders.

rainmaker12: Go and open your brain! U don't know a dyme, and u not willing to learn.
That's y u can't get me. Try and redirect your IQ. All dose devices u mentiond don't dey have deir own Os? Can't iPhone or ipad b called "IOS DEVICE"? can't Nokia lumina b called "Windows Device"?....u slowpoke!!!
What does android os operate wit? oh! its humans, no no no it works wit a laptop, hmmm maybe not, it works wit Nokia 3310... gosh!!!! The os is made for "MOBILE HARDWARE" or "TABLET" only!
ANDROID IS AN OS!!!! wen it is flashed to a ""DEVICE"" dat device can ALSO be call 'ANDROID' or 'ANDROID DEVICE'!!! Wat a lame argument!!
You can't learn everytin from me. Go and ask ur Google again...lmao... U dint even check well. Bit torrent incop. released "BETA" utorrent for android, but because of known bugs, an update was released officially to d app. yesterday. Its not even yet on d market, except d BETA once... Wat do u know!

I can't argue wit you joor, u dey dull my head. Next time make research b4 u post negative things on pples dread! OK?......MR 'IKIA'.....lol.... U can also ask google wat IKIA means. Dumb head! (U insulted me on my dread, so no offense) slowpoke!

Thrice accursed m0r0n! A device running Android OS is called 'an Android device', not 'an Android'. iPad and iPhone are 'iOS devices', never 'iOS'.

You initial comment was 'Utorrent is now officially ported to the leading developers phone ANDROID', insinuating that there's a 'developers phone' called Android.

Despite my attempts to educate you, you're still so persistent in your daftness.

Ancient Chinese Proverb: There are many people in this world that if given the choice between diamonds and duck droppings, will always pick duck droppings. That describes you perfectly.

Adanyebe: lets have the pics please

You want photos of dead people?

saddik: @ amblors: This phone is not in the US yet, so I dont nwo what u r talking bout.

@ texazzpete: Im not on Crack. HTC1x in Nija is 90-100k FYI, by the way I got a buyer 2day at 75k
NO hard feelings. The phone is great. any 1 who cares to order 1, holla me.

Im 100% sure, when this phone comes to Nija market, it will cost notin less than 70k.

Cheers. all

I pity the person who bought this phone at that price from you

Israelmossaic: We are condemning this man erroneously. Has anyone taken time to check the meaning of STEUPID as used by the poster? We are being stupid by reacting on what we have not confirmed

Until they say the same thing about your father, let us see if you will start checking dictionary for meanings then.

donigspain: ^^^My bro, the political atmosphere in Abia state is far different from the other states of your comparism. The politics in Abia is that of the 'Ngwas against the others'. Aba people voted for T.A Orji not because they are unaware of his poor governing ability but because they're afraid of the obvious unknown (what an Ngwa man will do if given the opportunity).
Too bad to say, but if T.A Orji is pitched against an Ngwa man, Abians (Aba especially) will still vote for T.A Orji.
The devil you know is far more better than the angel you don't.
Please, never include the word 'coward***' when describing Aba residents because NO people have ever done what Aba people did even in the face of severe intimidation and persecution. Aba people threw 'pure' water and stones at him, booed him and even wrote him a public THREAT letter warning him to steer clear off Aba territory if he does not want to find himself in a sorry state.

Medicine after death from cowards. Of what use is it stoning him with Pure water sachets when he knows he will still retire to his plus Government house abode? What vengeance has that wrought on a man who can easily eat more of the money devoted for your urban development programmes as his own revenge? What is the benefit of such pitiful defiance when you know the man can bed down with the soft flesh of your daughters with glee that same night?


We're talking about voting in credible leaders that will make your state a better place for your children and you're here babbling utterly stoopid tribalistic tripe about the 'Ngwa' people.
Someone is telling you how bini people voted in an Etsako man (oshiomhole) over their bini brother (I saw Bini people burning tyres in protest at Ring Road when INEC announced the bini man Osunbor as winner) and you're trying to sugar-coat cowardice with tribalistic bullcrap.

Go back in time and look at how Abia people were complaining during the first term. Kidnappings, r.a.p.es and murder was the order of the day, no development was in sight and T.A Orji was a stooge of the ruling Orji clan for more than half of his first term....and you people still voted him in!

godswill312: Wen sme1 says 'android' technically it means a phone or tablet. Laptop can not b android, same as android os canot b without a 'hardware'.
Wen I say android, those who r in d game knows wat I'm talking bout, that its a PHONE! or TABLET! as long as it runs d Os..
OK?

Android is an OS not a device, you raving dolt! Android is not a phone or tablet as you claim. By your m0ronic logic, the iPhone, iPad, Lumia 800 and even Nokia Asha are 'Androids'.

I think we all agree you don't know what you're talking about.

godswill312: "Utorrent" to android is not an old newz Mr 'IKIA'
If u not aware of it, I undstand. But b sure b4 u collect wrong impulse from ur brain to our hand, so u won't type trash. OK?

utorrent for Android was released on September 5th. That's nearly a month ago. In tech terms, that's old news.

tonte: Mere soldier? A General in any country is never a poor person o, and besides at the time he became a General, Nigeria just got into an economic boom and he spread his investments far and wide!!!!

You can never be a RICH person on a General's salary in the US Armed forces.

[quote author=Sheriff©]Technically, Apple had never created anything. All it did was to couple different inventions of other companies ( Google' android ) into one, though went into agreement with them.

Confession: I kind of prefer Samsung.[/quote]Actually iOS came out before Android on consumer devices. Samsung thought they could clone (as usual) stuff from Apple with impunity. They were wrong.
Apple used LTE in their 2012 iPad. What do you mean 'if truly'?! It's on the spec sheets. Samsung doesn't have to 'prove' anything you dolt!

Confession: You're ignorant and woefully uninformed

Jimbadly: I see Samsung losing this case. The US judicial system is biased against foreign companies.

Dolt. Nokia won Apple decisively in 2009. Apple paid.

StarBoard: You really need to have your head examined.
You want GEJ to take claim for a 10 year period?
What won't these GEJ apologists say?

You're kidding, right? You don't know that taking credit for other people's work is GEJ's forte?

GEJ uses every opportunity to take credit for Yar'Adua's Amnesty programme
GEJ took credit for railway rejuvenation kicked off by Yar'Adua
PIB was kicked off by Yar'Adua. Initial draft was sent to national Assembly by his government. Now it's being touted as a GEJ/Diezani thing.


Na so.

Ayorh4you: 'an debtor'? Chai! English don suffer o. Naija grammarians, i hail thee

I previously typed 'an unrepentant debtor', removed the 'unrepentant' bit to stay classy.

I wonder why a jobless fellow (I mean this literally as I've scanned through your profile) is only in an intellectual discussion like this to point out errors made by his betters...It's not as if your previous posts are examples of top notch grammar.

godswill312: Utorrent is now officially ported to the leading developers phone ANDROID!
Try it out!

Old news. You're stale

PS: Android is NOT a phone. Jeez!

The kids should go home and query their parents for their cowardice.

When the brave people of Imo State were defiantly saying NO to rigging and electoral manipulation and kicking out Ohakim, the cowards of Abia rolled over and let the former Orji stooge climb to power. After an utterly ABYSMAL first term rife with kidnappings and insecurity in Abia State, the fact that this man came back to power puts the people of Abia state in a bad light.

If the Abia people need lessons on bravery, let them look at the following examples

1) Edo State voting out PDP after Lucky's horrible performance as Governor. I saw bini people (who are usually tribalistic) voting in an Etsako man (oshiomhole) over their bini tribesman because they had the conviction to vote out PDP

2) Imo State people voting out Ohakim despite a MASSIVE rigging campaign. My colleague who was on ground told me tales of old men and women in their late 80s marching to the voting ground to vote in 'Chicken' (APGA) just to kick out PDP and Ohakim

3) Oyo state voters kicking out Alao-Akala, despite the support he employed from the remnants of Adedibu's rigging machine.

4) Lagos folks standing resilient against the PDP pestilence.


the people of Abia have the leader they deserve. Hopefully they take a leaf from their Imo state brethren and do the right thing.

Jeboy: @Gbawe

I used to respect you before but the way you are attempting to be blind to d truth just because you want to call a dog a bad name. Its not fair. I remembered the TI rating improvement was the first post I created in Nairaland and people did not bother to comment because it was good news. Now you prefer to escalate evil because it will boost your ego. You want TI to give you rating for 2012 year when we have not finished 3rd Quarter of 2012. The TI rating with anti-corruption improvement we re talking about is for 2011. He might have mistaken dis years anti-corruption work for last years landmark improvement for TI rating but dat does not remove the fact that it so improved while he is charge. Gbawe and Co would have been happy if the indicators were pointing d country in bad light. You guys don't behave like progressives at all. Is that how people scan through Fashola govt to look for loopholes? This cheap black mail won't take you guys anywhere. Criticize and be a worthy opposition
for the sake of progress and not blackmail. If there's anything d rating has done, it has proved most of your claims that corruption heightens in GEJ era or GEJ also influenced their 2011 report. Una no dey try at all thinking you re doing GEJ disservice but not knowing you re killing d image of dis country. I bow for una oh

I think you have mental problems.

Transparency international's index shows Nigeria worsening between 2010 to 2011 under GEJ

The article you've been spamming shows Nigeria's corruption perception improving between 2001 and 2011. Those 10 years include OBJ, Yar'Adua and now GEJ. How can you attribute any of the good news to GEJ when we've seen Nigeria retrogressing in the last year according to TI's index?

Anyone with a brain knows that the 2001 - 2011 net improvement comes from a perception of improved anti-corruption focus under the tenure of Nuhu Ribadu as EFCC boss.

[quote author=Dr. Whizy]my brother, why would u not believe that there was transparency? Why would you not believe that the dude has finally paid up. Why would you just choose 2 believe that sumtin shady must hav happnd. Cnt we just believe in posiivity.[/quote]This is incredibly daft.

He makes good points. The monies owed AMCON are shareholders funds. Why the need for subterfuge? Why is there no transparency? Do you know the assets that were confiscated?

Why is AMCON signing confidentiality agreements? That's usually when two private entities come to an agreement, not one between a public institution and an debtor.

The cynic in me thinks this is his payment for helping to bring Lawan down, but who knows?

saddik: HELLO ALL, THIS PHONE IS GOOD, DONT LET ANY 1 DISCOURAGE U, IF U LIKE PLAYING GAMES WHICH PERSONALLY I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT, I HAVNT TESTED, BUT THE CAMERA IS GREAT, BODY SLEEK, FAST AND THE TOCH SCREEN IS VERY RESPONSIVE.

PRICE IS 80K LAST, SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. BET ME, WHEN THIS PHONE ENTERS NIJA MARKET THEY LEAST PRICE WILL BE LIKE 80 - 90K.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_duos_s7562-pictures-4883.php

Are you on crack?! 80K for this cheapo MSM7227 based single core 1Ghz phone with a low end GPU?! Seriously?

You'd better wise up and look for buyers in the 50k range before it becomes dead weight on your hands. Pricing this the same as the HTC One X? GTFO!!

BlackBaron: I know my S3 takes far better pictures than that article cited. Unless 'night mode' was switched off.

Night mode was switched off for ALL those phones. The test was to see how good the pics would be on default settings.

Afterall, the Lumia 920 has a night mode setting too...

luluosas: Who cares? When we were using the 'almighty' Nokia 3310 way back, who complain?

Then go back and use the 3310 you troll.

This is as retarded as saying who cares about Pounded Yam because you were once drinking breast milk exclusively.

[quote author=Prof. Darkman]Don't be surprise to hear that some of the committees and members of the churches were not aware of the tithe of donation.The pastors and the inner most committees must have shared the money within themselves.[/quote]There are no 'Pastors' in the Catholic church you dolt!

bbpreye: Th idioot started the stupidityy, go and read his comment and see how he tried to rubbish the other churches apart from his so called "roman catholic church"
I know a lot about the history of the catholic church, and the painful truth about them is that they "bow down to idols" and they see themselves as the only church in the world!
Rubbish!

I can tell you your history, tell u about your madonna and child picture, tell u so many things you don't know cos ur an ignorant discombobulated dullard!

Eat more ijebu garri so u'll have sense!
Unfiofiok!

Spoken like a truly accursed dolt!
We are talking about a financial crime here. Whether or not you agree or not with the Catholic church doctrines has no bearing on this matter. At least the Catholic church is a leader in Charity matters in Nigeria and has a record of not overtly fleecing its members in the name of tithing etc.

Please spare us your 'history of the catholic church' bullcrap. That's information already in the public domain. Let's talk about NOW and how the state of Christianity in Nigeria is moving people away from doctrines of LOVE and focusing on MONEY.

Instead of facing real issues you're there abusing your betters. Pathetic

KINGwax: texaco abi what is your name? Why trying to exonerate your fellow accomplice in the clog of catholic churches? When a man donated 25mills and 10mills to a church and u didn't bother to flinch, or blink, then you're a thief! Is d man dangote or what? A man working, and being expected salaried donates such amount.
Guy, what's the difference you're trying to paint btw the catholics and others now? I jes won't undstnd!

See this thrice accursed m0r0n! How much do you think a Nigerian bank MD earns as official salary that a Church should start getting alarmed for receiving 15 million naira donation?

If your parents did not send you to a good enough school for you to learn how to understand written English, how is it my fault? How does the church need to be 'exonerated' when there is no single SHRED of evidence that the church either requested for the funds from him or incited him to steal the money?

All i said was that the use of the word 'tithe' may not be strictly correct...and to correct the impression that the church incited him to steal the money.

Imbecilic dolt!

musKeeto: There's a thin line between the church and politics in Nigeria: that thin line is the stupidity of the masses...

nah, those are Catholic churches. Tithing is NOT mandatory there and unlike your average pentecostal church, the preaching doesn't usually focus on money, tithing and 'sowing seeds'.

He probably sent that cash in as a donation to assuage his conscience. In Nigeria, tithing, sowing seeds and cash donations are often done by the corrupt folks to assuage their conscience as unconscious attempts to bribe God. I remember the most notorious 419 and 'yahoo' kingpins in school those days were among the most vigorous givers in church.

I remember 9ice hammering on the need to pay your tithe and proclaiming that he paid his tithes religiously in his song 'Little Money'. of course in the next track he resumed describing intimate parts of the female anatomy and Instruments...so make of that what you will

4llerbuntu: ^^^^^



nope what they announced is different from the app player tripe. that was supposed to be a stop gap measure
the playbook does not run BB10 for now.

actually what they said is that for BB10, it supports apps coded in c++ and some other yada yada software tech mumbo jumbo.
bottom line is that developers can simply recompile their source code for apps developed for android into native BB10 apps.

apparently the time to do so is pretty small and effortless. u don't have to code anything new. they demo-ed a android foursquare app so converted and developed within a week at the Jam.

and actually they did say that they definitely have more apps at launch than any other platform.

the dual profile thingy is also very nice too. fully jumping into the BYOD revolution


i do think that their hardware will make or break them, i saw the leaks too and i dont really think thats all they will release.
besides they committed to doing qwerty and full touch devices so all their bases are covered.

LMFAO!

'more apps at launch' is a stupid thing for RIM to say.

iOS launched with zero apps in 2007. Android with very few apps. Ditto for Wp7 and WebOS. But all these platforms have racked up hundreds of thousands of apps now.

RIM is launching BB10 with an app count probably less than 20000. They kept up with the misinformation about having 105000 apps in appword, happily forgetting to mention that most of those apps are BBOS apps that will not work on BB10.

Porting an app from Android or iOS isn't the main time factor. Building in an interface native to that platform is another thing. apps like foursquare aren't very intricate and can be ported easier than porting lets say the FPSE PSX emulator from Android.

balogunsam: please make your report as fast as possible dude....I'm sure you don't know there are about 3 different versions and makers of the said clone. make your research again and come back here. and I never for once referred to it as the sIII.

Tell us how this is a Quad core phone with a dual core GPU

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57519190-92/iphone-5-galaxy-s3-displays-go-head-to-head-iphone-wins/

Apple's iPhone 5 beat Samsung's Galaxy S3 in a display tech "shoot-out" at screen testing firm DisplayMate Technologies.

The iPhone 5's Retina screen is the best smartphone display that DisplayMate has tested to date, according to results the firm posted today.
iPhone 5
"It is a significant improvement over the display in the iPhone 4," said DisplayMate's Raymond Soneira, who cited much lower screen reflections, much higher image contrast and screen readability in high ambient lighting -- the latter, the highest he's ever tested.
DisplayMate -- which gave the display an "A" -- also cited improved color gamut and factory calibration that "delivers very accurate colors and very good picture quality." The Retina iPad is the only thing that beats it in accuracy, according to Soneira.

Galaxy S3
While DisplayMate said the OLED display is "very good" and gave it a "B+," it fell short of the iPhone 5.
The problem, comparatively, as Soneira sees it, is that the Galaxy S III's OLED technology is still on steep development curve. OLED is "a new technology that has not yet been refined to the same degree as LCDs, particularly the IPS LCDs on the iPhones, so it doesn't objectively test or perform as well as the iPhone 5," according to Soneira.

The brightness on the Galaxy S3's display is about half of the iPhone 5 "due to power constraints resulting from the lower OLED power efficiency," among other issues, that makes for poorer image contrast and screen readability in high ambient lighting compared to the iPhone 5, said Soneira.
Other issues he cited are a "lopsided" color gamut and calibration. "For some reason Samsung has not bothered to calibrate the Color Gamut on any of its OLED displays, so they are wildly inaccurate and produce inaccurate and over saturated colors."

fola,

not all Android apps are supported by the App player, and loads of them don't have access to the needed APIs to run.
BB10 cannot match iOS and Android in the 'apps' department. Neither can they match Wp8 just yet. They cannot match up at launch or anytime soon.


RIM's upcoming blackberry handsets are pretty much done. We've seen loads of leaked photos from the all touchscreen version. It looks good but probably won't faze the heavyweights on iOS and Android.

Nigeria is already blackberry crazy. the peer pressure to get one is immense. RIM desperately needs sales from north america and Europe...and Android and iOS already have those sewed up. WP8 will try and sell handsets in volumes to catch up. RIM's probably gonna get edged out.

balogunsam: the real chinko version is available in some places for 15k or so sir. this is 45k,slightly negotiable...this is not some junk product bro....it beats my S2 by speed,battery,screen,3d game rendering etc.....

This is a lie.

Your original description is FALSE.

This is no quad core CPU. It's a 1Ghz dual core CPU that cannot come close to the speed of the CPU in the Galaxy S II
The GPU is a single core SGX 531...this is nowhere near the dual core Mali 400 found in the S II either.

Amend the OP, the topic headline and your ludicrous claims of superior performance to the SII or I'll report this topic.

It looks like an SGS III but it isn't the real deal. Thus it's a chinese clone.

oyb: hmmmm how does a fellow in lag get it?

I can probably post it to you i guess. Send it via abc motors or something
