So sad, last time he came on who wants to be a millionaire, he was literarily begging for support. And we have people like ibori stealing billions. Nigeria, we dont appreciate our icons until they pass away!

I don't understand this. If i work, fail to save enough cash for my retirement and become cash constrained in my later years, why is anyone obligated to support me?

df2006:
pure lies, you want to tell me dat d victim could not utter a word dat he was not a Muslim? na capital lie be dis.

Kabai:
What a news?! Do u guys mean that amongst the church members who ganged up to kill a fellow church member, non of them could identify him? Can it also be true that he was not interrogated before he was killed? Will it also be true that this man could not say anything to identify himself as a defence even at the instance of death? What kind of stories and lies are these? Please, Nairalanders, what a story?!

Do you dolts mean to tell me that no innocent person has ever been lynched to death a mob in Nigeria before?

It's rather difficult to tell your tale when someone's foot is removing your front teeth. I don't expect you cretins to understand sha.

Sam Milla:
Hahahahahahahaha! You tell your husband and he tells you to KEEP QUIET. Nice , that means you left a huge chunk of the story out. Especially the part where we should have blamed you. Since you told the story in a way that we can only condemn the poor little guy, and crownd it by telling us that your husband who brought you to south africa never said or did anything to the boy, i must say that you are even more wicked than you know. Liaaar.

I have always considered you an immature, doltish fellow with a stunted IQ. I'm glad your contributions here are vindicating my opinions of you.

abhosts:
Yet some uninformed people would continue to compare Ghana to Nigeria. 1,600 megawatts would not even be sufficient for Lagos.

See this cretin! it matters not how much power Ghana needs. All that matters is that the leaders of that nation were largely able to provide enough power to meet the needs of their people for most of the time. Nigeria has not been able to match that in any way.

I know many Nigerians are afflicted with a provincial mentality like you've just displayed, but you all must learn to use your brains better!

[quote author=Mr_TA link=topic=548998.msg10283660#msg10283660 date=1330346642]HTC don vex oh, they have announced their new quad core device HTC ONE X and some slightly lower specc'd devices like HTC ONE S and V all running ICS with sense 4.0.

My only problem is the screen size, I really dont want 4.7 inch screen for goodness sake.

Looking forward to a hands on.

Samsung, over to you.[/quote]And just like that, the Galaxy Nexus is already 'outdated' in the minds of the specs-crazy android fanboys.

What has the ill-gotten wealth of a few Government cronies got to do with under-development in the North? Is the money accruing to them accessible by the Northern states governors?

I wonder why the writer went so far off-topic. Tell us why Gombe is not using their N3b monthly allocation wisely instead of harping about one rich man from Gombe State who earns N4bn monthly.

naijaking1:
That was when all of Nigeria's yearly budget was about $3.5billion
Imagine stealling more than 75% of a country's total budget in one swoop
And someone told us Buhari is poor, innocent, or just don't remember how much was stolen

See your fish brain. So credible evidence existed that Buhari stole billions of dollars yet the vicious GEJ campaign did not run with it during the last elections?

Sometimes you people amaze me!

anonimi:
Best move so far.
Self defense against the senseless boko haram zombies.
That will let the others know that no more free ride to kill Christians.

it is also the best case outcome for Boko Haram. That guy was not supposed to have survived the bombing. by killing a key suspect, they have done Boko Haram a great favour by eliminating a potential weak point in the chain.

What a foolish move.

ritchboy:
Seems Sony played the Uncharted card too early to boost sales cos the reviews, while good, haven't been great. Wipeout is decent. The rest are console ports I've already played in 1080p!

Lumines is like quarter-a-game. . . It's like an XBLA title you shell out five bucks for! Can you call that a video game with a straight face?

This seems like the only 5-star title but it's still three months away unless you speak Japanese!

More watered-down console ports I've already played to death.

Problem is, I have, every single one, no exception!

Well obviously portability is the only advantage otherwise we won't even be having this conversation to begin with.

1) I've seen Uncharted scores run the whole gamut from 70% to 95%. Reviews can be subjective. What is more important is that on PSN, user ratings for Uncharted: golden Abyss are at a solid 4.5/5.

2) Using the term 'watered down' to refer to ports is rather amusing. We are discussing the quality of MOBILE GAMES here. using that same logic, it can be argued that 99% of all mobile games are 'watered down'. There are definitely sacrifices that WILL be evident when you compare a 3GB FIFA game on Vita to a 9GB BluRay release on the PS3. That said, reviewers agree that FIFA Soccer on Vita is a largely excellent game and that Virtua Tennis Vita looks very nearly as good as its PS3 counterparts and with the same content as on PS3.

3) Lumines is NOT a 'quarter game'. You're taking the very Nigerian approach of looking down at puzzle games. Lumines is one of the best reviewed Vita titles and while I admit that i find the asking price rather too steep, the XBLA version did NOT launch at $5.

4) Marvel vs Capcom 2 and blazblue pretty much have all the content that their console counterparts boast. How exactly are they 'watered down'? Does a game automatically become 'watered down' when it appears on a portable console?


I agree with you, the vita launch titles aren't exactly the massive slam-dunk Sony and the press were making it out to be, but I think you're unduly harsh on the little console

Alert:
Please married people in the house, I need to know when you first quarrelled with your spouse, after your proper wedding, was it up to a day, or a week or a month before your first quarrel? I would like honest answers plssssssss.

What business of yours is it? Be warned that people who do tatafo like this do not usually live long o!

ritchboy:
From the upcoming roster there's

Silent Hill: Not expecting any out of the ordinary.

Resistance: Could turn out to be be really good, but unlikely to be better than what's currently on offer.

Street Fighter X Tekken: No release date yet.

LittleBigPlanet: Console port, been there done that.

Mortal Kombat: Ditto.

Oddworld: Ditto.


I'm hardly on the edge of my seat. Hopefully one of the lesser anticipated titles would surprise us.

Uncharted, Wipeout, Fifa and Virtua Tennis are launch titles and pretty good. Lumines has been getting rave reviews everywhere. Gravity Daze is a launch window title and looks and feels great.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 is excellent if you like fighters. Ditto for Blazblue.

Nothing wrong with Console ports if you havent played the original. And there's something to be said about portability. As we speak I have my Vita in a pouch beside me ready for a quick game of FIFA. I can't very well lug my PS3 around with me, can i?

This guy is a scammer who has scammed many Nairalanders. Stay away!!

dmainboss:
The funny thing about posts like this is that it appears intelligent but in the end, it is a bundle of ignorance. The problem of Nigeria has never been well tought out plans and road map. It has always been a people, not just a government alone, that have the heart to follow it and have it work. That is why a piece like the Obama state of the union speech will never impress any one who has a clear head. Obama has refused to leave campaign mode even after 3 and half years. If it was GEJ, the likes of you will come out shouting its all promises and no action. The truth is, at the end of the day, all men are the same. Whether in America or Nigeria, fundamental human behavior and characteristics are the same. The only difference is the social-cultural environment that exist. Africa and specifically Nigeria still has a barbaric social-cultural environment and we just pray a major event will occur to change that.

brainless dolt! Obama is in 'campaign mode' because this is an election year, you muppet!

Grizz:
A man can dream. i just don't see why i should have to pay for games i already own. This is what makes people do silly things like hack their consoles. Well actually people do that cos they're cheap but still. . .

Not sure why you're convinced SOny is forcing you to repurchase games you already bought on your PS2. As far as i know, no former PS2 game is being re-released on the Vita.

[quote author=DAY11. link=topic=840901.msg9914525#msg9914525 date=1325950458]what if you see 60k raw cash? [/quote]DO NOT CONTACT THIS FELLOW!! HE IS A KNOWN SCAMMER ON NAIRALAND!!!

initialize:
I bought this xbox 360 from this guy and since i bought it, it's just one issue or another,
the xbox has only 20GB HDD
Pad not working
Red light issues

and since i have been calling him to lay complains he doesn't want to pick his call cos he his already aware about what he did, which i deem to be in appropriate and irresponsible. be careful when you dealing with him because he is an irresponsible yahoo yahoo guy,


These are the links to the xbox 360 elite thread:

PS: If i want to get you, I'll definetely seize you up, so don't think you are smart!!!

if you can lay hands on this crook, I implore you to do so. This man has brought so much sorrow to many people here using IDs like marcolino and iphoneberry.
At least take solace from the fact that you got an xbox. Most of the people who have dealt with him on Nairaland have lost cash without getting anything for it.

netghost:
as long as your system still recognizes it then you will find a way around the problem , the moment your system stops recognizing it pls find the nearest trash can and drop it inside

coogar:
even if his system fails to recognize it, there's still hope.
no phone is completely useless. in a sane world, he should be able to return the phone to blackberry office and get it replaced but we don't do sanity in naija.
it's the opposite.

The 9900/9930 bricking issue is a known issue. Even RIM has acknowledged it. For cases like Honsule's, there's nothing the user can do. In saner climes RIM will replace the phone for free. In Nigeria, you're on your own.

None pre installed. You can easily buy and download from the Playstation network.

You heard wrong. Sony's plan is to make every Vita game available for digital download on Psn in addition to cartridge sales.
Personally the advantages in having day one downloads are pretty nice.

Sony will never release a ps2 emulator and even if they manage to allow PS2 games running on the Vita, u can be sure they'll never allow you use your own isos.

Guys
Selling a brand new Playstation Vita + 4GB memory card for 65k. Interested? Let me know. ,

3 No other phone make compares with Nokia hardware power, durability and battery life

Sorry, that phrase was true in 2006. not any more, i'm afraid.

jedisco:
5 At 52,500 Nokia 701 proves to be the best value for money phone. At least no other phone below 70,000 provides one with thesame specs

The Samsung Galaxy S from 2010 has superior hardware to the Nokia 710. And it's now less than 60k in the market.

malikalhaj:
They have basically same app, plus no restrictions. Forgot to add came from Iphone 4 to SGS2

iOS has more apps with (usually) higher quality in most cases. This is especially obvious when you're talking about tablet apps.

As far as gaming is concerned (and over 65% of downloaded apps on modern smartphones are games) iOS utterly destroys Android, hands down.

I just picked up my PS Vita today. Loaded $100 in my PSN account and bought FIFA Soccer, Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Super Stardust. I expect to get lots of mileage from this. Loving the hardware, the excellent screen and the stunning graphics.

I love smartphone gaming like anyone else, but i gotta admit that physical controls can't be beat. After i lost 5 games of Street Fighter IV on my iPhone to someone i would easily crush with physical controls, i realize that for real gaming you need buttons!

We'll see.

Grizz:
I'm not getting one until after it gets properly hacked. Its bad enough that most games on the thing will be downloads and i dont have a good dataplan, i'm just not dropping that much money for mobile gaming. Maybe in 4 - 5 months maybe, when there are more games out.

There are already loads of games out for the Vita, with perhaps the strongest ever launch lineup for a portable console. The games are sold in cartridge format as well as downloadable on PSN. Who told you most games would be download only?

The average cost of Vita games should be around $35. That's around 6k. is that really that much?

Grizz:
Still tanked, sold even less than the Psp-Go.

Yep. The xperia play was a crappy move on Sony's part. to their credit they've done quite well in continued support for the device.

See what people are hailing as an 'invention' and 'revolutionary'. In 2012!! May God help you people out of your mediocrity.

How is this being spun out as a gain by the Minister?
2.5 million barrels per day was never our maximum output, merely our OPEC Quota limit. if this limit has been raised let her tell us like that instead of spinning it as a success story from the NNPC.

yorke:
You are very silly. I don't blame you is your boko bother Sanusi i blame. You have brain but i doubt if is working going by your comment on this matter bigot.

It's so saddening that Nairaland has turned into a haven of dolts these days. You will just sit there and be parroting what your betters have already said. I doubt you even know the meaning of the word 'bigot'.

More people were killed in the Kano attacks. That fact is reflected in the money the CBN governor decided to disburse. How the. Does that make him a 'jihadist'?

I don't blame you jobless re'tards. If Sanusi had done what his mates in Government are doing and used the money on hookers and Abuja mansions will you people even talk? How much did the Nigerian Government donate?

poby:
25 million after 3 months meanwhile 100 million was given to victims of Kano bomb blast after a week- any justification for that?

Must you dolts criticise everything? The Church in Madalla is not invisible or hidden; how much have YOU donated? You think the victims are complaining?

yorke:
This Sanusi Lamido SAnusi is a bigot.

More people were killed in Kano than in the Madalla bombing. Enough with these brainless posts abeg. You have never been known on NL for an appreciable IQ but still I expect some intelligence from someone of your age.

Uwazuruike just comes across as desperate to retain his 'status' as 'Igbo leader'.

I've seen nothing to indicate that this man deserves this status in any way.
