Billyonaire: Its 130K at Samsung outlets and 125k at Etisalat office

Actually about 95k in computer village now.

mowk: Mukina2, you should desist from asking people to spend unwisely on this trash... We shd know how to double capital through wise investments, create multiple streams of income at a young age and not show offs. HEAR WORD!!!

Another m0r0n.
I can't recall where anyone put a gun to your head and forced you to pre-order this phone. I can't also remember when you were anointed as the person to speak for everyone else.

I hope as investment crazy as you are, you take time out to remember just WHY you're investing.

Korrection: @Mukina or what you call yourself....stop corrupting people with this expensive phone of a thing...this is Nairaland i know but issues are on ground to talk about not just phone thing...im always pissed anytime you come up with phone sh1t...cant you just advice our youths on what to do about their life....all you do is busy portraying expensive phones so people would go steal and buy it...no offense...just an advice..where is Ileke Idi...com and te us the size and weight of the phone..come caim you have it before its released....NONSENSE....

It's not her fault that you're a poor man.

Let go of this bitterness in your heart and maybe the stranglehold of poverty will loosen its shackles on you.

Someone should jail you for typing this indecipherable bullcrap!

kombats: and dis rubbish made d front page

Must everything on the front page be about politics?

I think Cremation makes more sense...you get to save land that would otherwise have been 'condemned' as cemetaries.

I wonder why churches - that preach about eternal life and leaving our 'carnal' and 'earthly' bodies behind - should be concerned about what happens to the discarded bodies.

dedeike: What PHCN is doing is in line with the multi year tariff order 2 (MYTO 2). It is designed to make our electricity tariffs cost reflective and attractive for private sector investments. It's part of the Transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The idea is that the old rate of N7.00/ kwh is far below the actual cost of production thus forcing govt to subsidize heavily and scaring away private investors from investing as it is difficult to recoup investments at the prevailing fixed tariff. On june 1, govt increased the tariffs upwards to N11.00 for R2 customers.

At this juncture, it is important to clarify the categorization of customers under the MYTO reforms. Poor rural dwellers/ low income areas who consume less than 50 kwh a month are categorized as R1. The middle class which is where majority of Nigerians fall under are categorized as R2. While the high brow districts like Maitama or Asokoro in Abuja or Bannana Island in Lagos are categorized as R3.

It is important to note that govt still set aside 100 billion to subsidize this tariffs for R1 and R2 consumers in 2012 and 2013. Instead of the initial N7/kwh paid by all under the old tariff order, R1 will now pay less at 4 kwh. R2 will pay N11.kwh while R3 will pay as much as N32 kwh. The R1 consumers will be exempted from all fixed charges and meter maintenance while R2 and 3 will pay a fixed charge of N500 monthly. This they say is production charges for generating power to the grid. Its like a sort of service charge which must be paid as far as you re connected to the national grid. The NERC maintains that fixed charges are paid all over the world and that of Nigeria ranks among the lowest.
These are part of the ongoing reforms in the power sector and from all indications, it's yielding fruits as many big companies are now indicating interest to participate in our distribution process because of the new tariffs.

Are you sure you're normal?!
Power sector reforms cannot be said to be 'yielding fruit' because 'big companies' are indicating interest. It can only be said to be yielding fruit when the average citizen gets at least 20 hours of power daily. Everything else is the same hot air and lies this corrupt and incompetent Government has been feeding us.

Oya, explain away the fixed charge of N500 even with the price increase.

FXKing2012: You have no idea what u are talking about so u deserve no serious response.

You say that as if you've ever made a serious response to anything in your life.

Have you given your life to Christ yet?

Korrection: abeg make dem dey there jor....weti dem wan come do 4 naija....??

Erm...play football?

4llerbuntu: ^^ they have come again

first one condemn game, add the entire android join say na android fault.

the second one condemn the first one recommendation patapata

ok na who we go come believe now?


na d games no good or na android fault say the game no good?

na your choice of game no good, or na android no good?

Quick answer? Na you English teacher no good.

Dead Trigger is a fantastic looking game with boring, repetitive mediocre gameplay. That's totally unrelated to the fact that my 320dpi Galaxy S3 (and also my previous HTC One X) is not compatible with many apps I truly want. From GTA 3 to NBA Jam to Need for Speed and a few others, updates are required to the apps to support my device. Some XDA guys have been able to increase compatibility by using a tweak to change DPI to 240 or so, but i'm not keen on such an inelegant workaround.

I recall early adopters of the Galaxy Note had that issue too.

SAFO: another nice game..... Dead Trigger

https://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q61/jaytrajik/2012-07-04_14-49-08.png

Reviews warned me that this was a crappy game. i wish i'd listened. Great graphics, boring, easy gameplay.

I hate this Android fragmentation that keeps games like NBA Jam away from my S3.

Lins01: Because you were too RUDE and STUBBORN to obey simple instruction(s), that's why you called it MALTREATMENT.

...And the first brainwashed student appears!

FXKing2012: Nobody is forced to go to church, if you are a witch and dont wanna be slapped then dont go to church. While within church premises, the pastor is the head and has authority to do what he feels is best for the church or congregation.

The sad part is that you actually think you're a Christian. In actual fact you're an idol worshipper...choosing to worship and elevate the words and behaviour of your Pastor over the clear steers from God in the Bible.

You will likely end up roasting the same hell you think you're warning people against.

The bill prohibits 'operation of motorcycles'. Does that extend to private bike owners? It sure looks so, and that's really brainless.

banning motorbikes as a 'solution' to robbery has always struck me as a childish, reactive option.

acidtalk: I am 100% Naija to the core and will support and encourage anything Nigerian.

To the 1st question : it is extremely obvious the Hardware was all assemble in China. Even I won't be surprised if the software also will all be pre installed there. It might just be a sealed boxed with the tablets that will be sent to Nigeria in the name of websoft.

Afterall if 'mighty' Apple can have its items all assembled in china 'cus of cheap labour and professionalism them how much less websoft.

I guess its only a few Technical team that will be represented in Nigeria.

The sure should have their tablets very reasonable (with 30-45k) or even less if not na dem go use their thing themselves.


Before I forget, hope if won't be a Hoven in disguise like that nonsense Omatek Laptop wey fit cook beans in less than 2mins.

Quad core Tegra 3 Nexus 7 tablet running Android 4.1 will be upon us in two weeks for $199 (approx 34k). Why would anyone buy this underpowered chinese tablet for that amount?

Ijebulogic: Femi is a Yoruba man and i'm sure he can communicate eloquently in his mother tongue. Can Berlusconi the Italian Billionaire speak good English? Colonial Mentality...Next Topic please.

Please don't be daft. English is our official language and is taught to everyone from an early age and up to the tertiary level. There is no excuse for bad grammar, and certainly not one as brainless as 'it is not our mother tongue'.

pek: the crowd definitly looks churchish. The absence of Bible shows it is a catholic church!

More like the absence of skimpy clothing and trousers on women shows it's a catholic church

stagger: This woman should shut up.

The same God she is calling clearly said that if a man marries a woman who is divorced (in her case, twice divorced), he has committed adultery. The same goes for her.

Can a man mock God? How can she be calling God when the very union she shared with Chris Okotie is a sin before God? Did she not read the following passages in God's Word:

Hebrews 13:4

(Verse 4) Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

(verse 9)Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male pr[i]o[/i]stitutes nor homo[i]sex[/i]ual offenders (verse 10)nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (Verse 11) And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

She needs to have her head examined, and Chris Okotie himself should go before God and beg for mercy; the anointing has left him a long time and the tragedy is that he does not know it.

And the same Bible said "Judge not, lest ye be judged". Just STFU, you thrice accursed m0r0n!

samkoro: Its now easy for PDP to Win in Lagos .Boko CPC will losswherever and however.I withdraw my support for action congress

Oh no!! How will ACN win anything without your considerable support, Mr..

Erm, who are you again?

ifihearam: By all standard the oba breached all protocols
The president does not wait for anybody,its always the other way round
But becos my presido is a humble man he might let go of that rubbish
But the oba should thank his stars its not obj or abacha
He would hv regretted ever being a king

What 'protocols'?
The Oba of Benin is not an appointee of the GEJ administration or the Federal Government. He is a traditional ruler and also a private citizen. Any Nigerian Citizen is legally within his rights to refuse to talk to GEJ.
This you slavish mentality will not serve you well in this life o! At least it's on record that even when other Obas were selling out to Abacha, the Oba of Benin remained aloof.

4llerbuntu: HEHE

@ tex, im think you are wrong about the navigation part.

if you download offline maps, when u don't have data and u put on your GPS it still accurately locates you on the offline map. . . . . .

un;ess of course you want it to guide you turn by turn, which i have'nt tried

Turn by turn doesn't work without a data connection. POsitioning works though.

walcolm: Nokia maps are several generations ahead...how's that working out for Nokia

Maybe Google will buy the Nokia maps for peanuts at the Nokia's burial ceremony

What has this got to do with how crappy google maps still is?

Nokia is way bigger than Motorola...not even Google will be able to swallow them just yet

Expect Nokia to rebound back with WP8.

FXKing2012: Two things: These are mere trials, not the real thing. Then how are we sure this Blake guy is not on drug?

...and how are we sure you're not a Boko Haram member?

all4naija: The reason is that Africans celebrate every waste brought into their continent!

1. Erm....this vehicle was made in Kenya o!

2. Please join Pato405 and explain to us how exactly you're able to tell this vehicle is a 'waste' from just one look at a low-res photo. i'm all ears

pato405: I can't just fathom why your likes were not born during the slave trade era. a mirror or a pair flip-flop would have made a better replacement for you. I would gladly trade you in for such paltry gift. sit down and do some thinking. that's the problem with majority in Africa - thinking! thinking capacity is way less than zero! ask yourselves questions. the moment you realise that this shenanigans are out for their own gains, the better for you. these guys are capitalists - capitalising on every given opportunity to eke out wealth for themselves. this jalopy is way less than $6000, I'm sure it's not any where near $2000. have you considered the road worthiness of this wild cat-trap? whosoever manufactures this contraption in first world countries will be sued . but it's always GOOD ENOUGH for Africa. Yes! bring it on, no matter how sub-standard it is, Africans will celebrate it. they'll patronise you because they are the world's most miserable people and ready to take whatever garbage you sell to them. how long shall we continue like this? manufacturing this jalopy is no rocket science. if Africans organise themselves, even JSS3 integrated science students/jets club group can do better than this flimsy locomotive you are busy gloating about. saying that its the best for Africans because they have no good roads is more like adding salt to injury. meaning ..there's no need to embark on projects to develop our roads because the kind of tractors we deserve are here abi? and you are busy blabbing on NL supporting them na wa o! guy you dumb sha.

All this long post...and it becomes obvious that you have a serious problem...you struggle with comprehending simple English!

You say the vehicle is worth less than $2000. The article clearly states the prototype you see in that picture cost the guy $15,000+ to build. The $6000 is just a projected price he hopes to achieve when he automates and improves the process. Saying the vehicle is a jalopy and is not 'road-worthy' just from a photo is incredibly m0r0nic.
Perhaps that's why the man has had the balls to take his destiny into his own hands and make a difference instead of being a broke, imbecilic Nairaland commenter like yourself.

All through your long sermon, I wanted you to show me where it said this fellow was going to put a pistol to Kenyans head to make them buy the car. If he makes a vehicle that nobody wants, he won't sell, simple as that. Anyone who can afford $6000 is smart enough to evaluate the value of the vehicle prior to purchase. You'd better pray you r imbecility is not hard-coded into your DNA so you don't pass on the strain of doltishness to your offspring.

puskin: Ehen.......is dat a bad thing?

Next thing is U'd start telling me about the need for competition

Do you actually NEED me to tell you this? It's common sense!

I've never understood why people carry this fanboyism on their heads. Google doesn't pay me, neither does Apple or Microsoft. We work damn hard for this money so we have to spend it on the best available...and the more choices the better.

I don't know why Billyonaire is swallowing panadol for another man's headache. The PDP candidate is soldiering on with the election, he certainly doesn't see it as a fatal setback to his ambitions. Why are you whining here?

As Dayokanu has repeatedly tried to educate you, everywhere electoral votes and endorsements are sought with fervour. That's why religious leaders would be courted by Obama and Romney, exactly why Governors make political statements, exactly why influential blacks, rabbis and hispanic leaders are being courted. There is no law barring anyone who can sway votes from making pronouncements.

Tell me, was it then 'illegal' and 'unconstitutional' for GEJ to campaign for votes for Dickson of Bayelsa and Ohakim of imo state? You complain about the Oba's statement on the Oracle potentially scaring voters...is that any worse than a sitting President hinting heavily that a state would receive more federal attention for projects if a PDP governor is in charge?

puskin: Goodbye to others...........Google has taken over

And you actually think that's a good thing?!

samkoro: White man and his cun.This is yet another racist ploy to stereotype Africans and make them not to border about improving their roads.

This also implies that such huge investment on the car factory must yeild profit for the investors via keeping African roads bad so that the cars could sell

Did you even read the article?!

pato405: so, it has come to the point where lousy lummox like you no longer have any iota of shame in publicising their nincompopery . you are busy quoting the sales gimmick of whosoever manufactured this ramshackle in the name of emancipating 'Africa' from dire need of locomotives. guy, you are a certified fooool. you wear an oversized cloak and cap of stu.pidity well sown to befit your diminutuve brain if you have any at all. what is cheaper about $6000? does the sloppy made ramshackle you see up there strike you as anything with safety features? why must Africa be the dumping ground at all times? what gives you the impression that Africans can't do better for themselves? must you always rely on them? for how long? m0roon!

You brainless ox. Who said anything about 'emancipating Africa'? Someone saw an opportunity to make a difference and make a living at the same time. He created a product that is making a difference and retailing for a fraction of the price of established brands. Why is your inferiority complex getting in the way of your common sense?

The 'sloppy ramshackle' you deride based on one picture has actually been seen and admired by the prospective customers in person. And they liked it! So what the frag is your problem with that?

All over Africa other people are making a difference. As we speak Bill gates has sunk in billions of dollars to research cures for Malaria, Tuberculosis and other illnesses. Are you going to whine about racism then? I don't give a damn about the color of the skin of the person making a difference, as long as a difference is being made somewhere. get that through your thick skull.

4llerbuntu: Google finally released the latest version of its Maps app to Google Play today. Originally announced at a Google Maps event in early June, this update allows users to select and save a region of a map from more than 150 countries for offline use. In the new Maps version, users can save up to six large metro areas for offline use.

To utilize this, simply bring up the area of choice and select "Make available offline" from the menu to verify what you'd like to save. Maps then estimates the file size a user would be taking on and asks for confirmation before saving it. Google even notes that if you have GPS enabled on the device, "the blue dot will still work without a data connection so you know where you are, and if your device has a compass, you can orient yourself without 3G or WiFi connectivity."

The new Maps update for Android also includes an improved Compass Mode for Street View. Users will need Android 3.0 or higher, a gyroscope sensor, and version 1.8.1 of Street View on Google Maps to utilize this function.

Still crap from Google and several generations behind Nokia maps. Imagine my fury when i found out that you STILL can't navigate without a data connection!!

pato405: for crying out loud, undergraduates in Africa may know next to nothing but they surely can do better. i'm not a mechanical engineering student but I'm sure with some rubber tubes and steel foil, I can panel beat metals and weld them together, spray it up and have something more presentable.

So why are you not doing it? Why aren't you selling your wondrous vehicles for money instead of making brainless comments on Nairaland? Talk has always been cheap.
