claycares: Replied twice, edited.

Hmmm...

Thanks for this detailed explanation. Now which do I go for? 2013 or 2014? From your explanation, it seems the Sept 2013 version is slightly higher. Whats your advice?

I don't get it.

I see some tragic news here gathering "likes". What's the idea behind clicking "like" when you just read a news thats very sad?

Maybe Seun should change that feature to something else. For example, in baby center.com you get "hug" for comments not "like".

What do you think? Is it okay to "like" a tragic news? Do you "like" such news?

Comments are welcome.

rattlesnake: nothing to write home about

my tab is 3GB ram

So are you saying 1gb ram is bad?

claycares: Both tablets are from the home of Asus, the OEM that worked in collaraboration with Google to produce the Nexus 7.

The FE170CG (2014) is the refresh/update of the previous version ME175CG. Bot tabs have the Intel Atom Z2520 under the hood with a Power VR GPU.

The 2014 edition is upgradable to Android 4.4 KitKat - the latest version of Android.

It is a good tablet, rugged and on the budget side. I will buy this weekend. Let me know if you've got further questions.

Thanks man.

@bolded: How come the upgrade/update is cheaper than the previous version?

Chai, why is Wifey not a Nairalander nah?

I for dey read sweet sweet words right now

Congrats to Windows.....More sympathy for Blackberry

Now going through Konga.com, I got this prices:

Model FE170CG: ₦21,995 http:///asus-fonepad-7-dual-sim-fe170cg-3g-1gb-4gb-hdd-7-inch-tablet-black
Model ME175CG: ₦27,995 http:///asus-fonepad-7-dual-sim-me175cg-3g-1gb-8gb-hdd-7-inch-tablet-black

Now my question is: Who have used this product before? Is it durable? Considering the specs, are the prices a good bargain? Please gurus, look at the spec very well and advice me if its a good buy. I'm not much of a gamer but I browse a lot, download a lot and play some music too.

How good is this device please?

Following thread bumper to bumper

Lol this thread sef!

Keep them comments coming guys...I'm getting real entertained here

FG link this guys to Innoson asap!

Let's not waste this talents abeg...

leisuretym: PH drivers are more rough than Aba drivers, go and find out

I live in PH and I frequent Aba (infact I'm getting ready to drive down there right now) so I know what I'm talking about.

Drive in Aba and you will know the real meaning of the word rough.

Sylverkenz: its 3 week old I bought it on the 8th of July

Which accessories come with it?

Sylverkenz: Gionee P2s 1gb Ram!!! for sale Rivers State for 13000 call 07037869230

Are you in PH? How new is the phone? Why are you selling it?

Whatsapp me on 07030365981 let's talk.

Sorry guys for the late reply.

@Seun, below is the dog.

I don't know the age but I know its not a puppy.

lomomike: We have discussed about this issue many times in car talk, but I'd give you the meaning of the trim abbreviation.

CE: Classic Edition (least spec installed edition AKA kpangolo on wheels) its the cheapest trim because its a base trim model.

LE: Luxury Edition: is a mid level trim.

SE: Sports Edition. Sits above the LE trim but below the XLE. The trim name denotes what its targetted for.

XLE: Extra Luxury Edition. The top of the line trim level, the most comfortable, with more gadgets, and higher price tag.

Thanks bro. Direct and precise.

LE.

Written behind my Camry '96 (Orobo) and most other cars. I use to think it stands for 'Limited Edition' but I see it everywhere, so how could it be 'limited'?

Can someone educate me? Our people say that Onye ajuju anaghi efu uzo meaning He who ask questions never gets lost.

What does LE, XLE, SE, VE etc stands for? Please include other acronyms I didnt list here.

Thanks and waiting for comments.

Babymama1: People come here for the most part for laughs,yabis,fun and games
Funny enough you didn't mention eediots like yourself that embolden their long posts for emphasis
Or the constipated ones like yourself that are irritated by whatever others do and say
Some may hate the fact that you are Bukola aka bukky but you would rather call it booqee
Get a life!

OUCH!

That's a damn KO!

Not a trainer actually.

I need tips on how to take care of her. Like how to bath her, how often, feeding etc..

I hope you understand.

My in-law wants to sell her German Shepherd and I love the dog. So I'm thinking of taking her in.

But I haven't owned a dog all my life. Bully (the dog's name) knows me. We often play whenever I visit.

But my problem is how to take care of her. The dos and donts involved in training a dog is what I have zero knowledge of.

Please if I take Bully, how do I take care of her?

I can't help but laugh at most comments here.

I've had enough of this argument.

@thegoodjoehunt: You have plenty spare time o.

Dhulqarnain: Robben ddnt score or assist in dat game, so I dnt get hw he destroyed dem.He ws nowhere to be found in d 1st half.
Dnt 4get dat since afta d 2nd group game against Australia,Robben ddnt manage to find d net again in d tournament.
Considerin d fact that Argentina only scored 8 goals in d whole tourney,Messi's 4 goals were very important,unlike Holland who scored 15 goals with Robben managin jst 3. Messi ws nt only dia highest goalscorer,but their chief creator.Evn dough he ws man-marked against Holland,he still had d most dribbles with 8 nd still created gud chances 4 d likes of Aguero nd Maxi.Robben cud only manage 1 pass in d whole of d 1st half nd his 1st shot on target came in d 99th min,an easy catch 4 Romero.Durin pk,Messi stepped up 2 score d 1st pk 4 Arg,Van Gaal revealed dat 2 of his senior players refused to take d 1st pk,and I am pretty certain dat Robben ws one of dem.Vlaar went on to lose nd d rest is history.
The stats agree with Messi,all d matches were considered,not jst d final.The likes of Muller nd Robben ddnt play any beta dan Messi in d knock-out stages.

I give up.

So you don't know that Robben's penalty against Mexico is an assist?

Now I know who I'm arguing football with.

Again, i give up.

Dhulqarnain: Robben ddnt destroy Mexico,he only dived against Mexico.

Messi scored half of his team's goals,so he truly carried dem.

You hate Messi so u will always complain abt d award.Ddnt u also complain wen he won d ballon d'or in 2010 sayin Sneidjer ws deserved it more? I bet u ddnt say anytin wen trophyless Cr7 won it ahead of Ribery in 2013

Robben destroyed Mexico. Yes he dived in the last minute but he was a thorn in the flesh of the Mexicans all afternoon.

Messi scored half the teams goals...in the group stage. Against the lowest ranked team, debutants and a below average SE.

When the going gets tough, where was Messi and his goals?

I don't get it why Barca fans always resort to "you hate Messi" line whenever one argues against him. Do you guys really understand what 'hate' means?

Hmmm na wa for the this people o.

So Robben didn't carry his team? Wow! I'm just hearing this now. Robben that destroyed Spain, Mexico etc? OK o.

What of Muller? So with his 5 goals and assists plus work rate in the victorious German team, he is not worthy of the golden ball? OK, that one aside.

Please can someone tell me how Messi carried Argentina to the final? 4 goals in the group stage, abi? How many of his goals helped them from second round till finals? You guys are forgetting that its the Argentine defensive line that conceded 0 goal from second round that helped them a lot. Pivotal in that defensive line is the beast, Mascherano.

This explanation by Houlier goes to show you how controversial the award is. How many other golden ball winners have FIFA come out to explain why that person is worthy? Yes, other awards have their own critics because we all have our opinions BUT Messi winning 2014 golden ball award? Only FIFA and a Messi fan boys agree. The whole footballing world has a different opinion.

scribe2000: God bless you my dear. Even with this detailed explanation, haters will still argue. I'm already out of tge argument, but thought you deserve some kudos for this update. Cheers!

No, come back. Why are you running? Its your thread.

Come and finish what you started

scribe2000: Wanna know my age? Just add 10 to yours and you will get mine.

Back to the topic, I have already addressed the issues raised on another of your friend's post. Here was my response. And please, I am tired of all this. Let's all take some deep breathes, and chill with something cold. No one here will convince another, but the facts on the pic above will be there to convince hate-free minds that the Golden Ball in WC 2014 went to the deserving winner.

"...Most people criticizing Messi's award only judge by focusing on one aspect. Putting Rodriguez as a deserving winner is only because he scored the most goals. He already has an award for that. But the golden ball is not for the highest scorer! Messi was the most rounded player in the WC.

And Maradona's comments were only his opinion. I believe he is the greatest player of all time (better than Pele), but he is not the greatest Match Analyst of all time. His views are purely that, His, and should not be quoted as an Authoritative one.
And he does not hate Messi, he only hates the idea of someone matching his own achievements, and unfortunately, Messi poses that threat.

Hope you rest now buddy. I've got other things to do..."
(Modify) (Quote) (Report)

So Maradona's comments were just his opinion? Your biased picture above is what? Just your own opinion too. And mind you, Zidane has more than one assist in 2006. I don't even want to go into all the flaws in that biased stat you posted there.

And by the way, did you see me mention Rodriguez in my posts? Check again and see who and who I think should have been the best player.

Even if Maradona is not the greatest match analyst, he is way above you. Maradona's opinion count in football matters, yours don't.

You don't expect to use one biased photoshopped picture to win an arguement. First of all make a research, get your stats right then list out the performances of Zidane, Forlan and Messing in their respective world cups without sentiments.

Just look at that picture again. Zidane and Forlan just goals and assists (which is so incorrect) then almighty Messi will get mentions in through pass, ball control , man of the match etc...Na wao for you ooo.

Enough of this pointless argument already!

scribe2000: The sorry should be for yourself my dear, for failing to look beyond your hatred on a gifted footballer and instead dwelling on pure denial.

Hatred? Sorry, how old are you?

So because I don't agree with you means I hate Messi? OK do you hate Muller or Robben? Because I think any of them should have taken the golden ball. Now if you disagree with me, then you have hatred for them.


This is Maradona's interview below, in case you haven't read it. If you think he is the sentimental type, pay close attention to the bolded part at the ending part of the article...

Argentina icon Diego Maradona feels Lionel Messi did not deserve to win the Golden Ball following his performances at the World Cup.

The Barcelona star beat the likes of Thomas Muller, Arjen Robben and James Rodriguez to the prestigious individual award after scoring four goals in seven performances at this summer's tournament and guiding his team to the final, yet Maradona feels the 27-year-old only won it for commercial reasons.

"Messi? I would give him heaven if possible," Maradona said during his show on Telesur.

"But it's not right when someone wins something that he shouldn't have won just because of some marketing plan."

Maradona then went on to voice his disappointment with Argentina's 1-0 defeat in Sunday's final against Germany following Mario Gotze's goal in extra-time.

"I feel sorry for my country. Mario Gotze's goal really hurt. There's a huge sadness in my heart that we lost the final.

"All things put together, I think Argentina deserved at least penalties. That Germany won was the result of a misunderstanding in the Argentine defence."

The 1986 World Cup winner also had his say on Alejandro Sabella's decision to replace Ezequiel Lavezzi with Sergio Aguero at half-time and argued that the Argentina boss got things wrong.

"I don't understand the substitution of Lavezzi. He was phenomenal down the wing. Kun Aguero didn't have the same impact. It was not his tournament."

Remember that Aguero is his inlaw. If Maradona is sentimental, he will never make this comment.

Maradona says things exactly the way it is.

scribe2000: First tell me what Maradona has to say about Pele, or what Pele himself has said about Maradona. Nothing very complimentary. Truth is, members of that club don't love one another and would like no one else to join. It's human nature, and Maradona's comments on Messi simply reflect this. But the rest of world know the truth.

Chai, sorry.

Thats all I can say.

If you, for a nano second, think your view in any football issue is valid than Maradona's, all I can tell you is sorry.

scribe2000: I give up on all of you guys. You are now comparing Zidane to Messi?
When Messi is being compared to Pele and Maradona, you guys are dragging Zidane into it, with funny clips to back up things. Funny!
Has anyone ever heard of the same guys in the same sentence with Zidane? Zidane belongs to the rest of the "good footballers", but not to that exclusive group of Maradona, Pele, and maybe (WHEN he wins the world cup), MESSI.


For now, I give up on you guys. No need continuing this argument. Hate Messi all you can...He remains the best thing that happened to football in the past 25 years!

And yes, he still has his golden ball from a world cup...and a well deserved one at that!!! Haters can go and...

And hey, he is not done yet, Expect more laurels to come his way. Just watch and see.

I'm off this argument. Enjoy your hatred on the little genius guys...

@bolded:

One question. Just one question for you.

What did Maradona (a member of that exclusive group) say about Messi winning the golden ball?

If you can't answer that, go and hide your face in shame.
