A day would come when old viruses like HIV would be completely curable. The main issue is that we don't know which viruses would replace them. Ordinary Covid-19 showed the whole world that pepper pass pepper. What comes forth with the next season? |
Deleting ad as i am traveling out of the country in a few hours and wont be available to sell. Cheers |

I have noticed that many people who buy used laptops just go ahead to start using the said laptop after purchase. The best some others do is to update the system software on the laptop then start downloading softwares and inputting passwords. I think this approach is very wrong, dangerous and must be stopped. I would detail my reasons below. ORIGIN Most "UK Used" or "US Imported" laptops and phones actually do not come from either the US or UK to Nigeria. They mainly come from China after they are refurbished, sold to wholesale dealers in UAE then shipped down to Nigeria. THE DANGER China is currently one of the hottest hubs of cyber spying and covert hacking in the world. Chinese companies have been caught severally adding trojans (both hardware and software) in devices which was one of the reasons Huawei had a fallout with the US Government. Most of these US or UK Used devices have softwares preloaded from China before being sold. The potential and possibility of a nefarious wholesale and government sponsored effort to include spyware into devices destined for other countries is very high. These spyware would be baked into the cracked softwares and would never be detectable by an anti-virus because of the privileges granted to it a the root level. MASS EFFECT While some few security conscious individuals would do a clean installation of their newly purchased used device, a greater number of the buyers do not even know how to do a re-install and would therefore just use it as-is. SOLUTION Once you buy a used device, it is advisable to do a completely fresh installation using software you are sure of the source. Windows 10 iso is freely downloadable (5gb) from Microsoft while All Mac OS are free to use and available (Sizes ranging from 4gb in Mountain Lion to 12.4gb in Monterey). The cost of data to get a fresh OS and do a fresh install that wipes all potential spyware is minimal compared to the risks. If you don't know how to do a fresh install, tell the seller to do a fresh install for you and confirm it is done. You can also get someone who is savvy to assist you. Don't put your details on a system you have not cleaned out. Cheers |

Traveling on Sunday. Decided not to go with my 2012 MBP so i got a 2015. My 2012 MBP is now up for sale. The specs 2012 Macbook Pro 15 inches 500gb HDD 16GB RAM Core i7 NVIDIA Dedicated graphics GT650M plus Integrated Graphics Battery cycle count is 500+ (Genuine SMP) Latest version of Catalina with up to date security updates Clean. Location is lagos Offer valid for today and tomorrow (Saturday) as i wont be available from Sunday. Interested? Send an mail. EDIT: Flight in a few hours so no longer selling. |
MadamVanessa:For the first time, i am agreeing with you and El-Rufai |
mogbeyiteren:Which wonders is which God using him to do? If he sure for him, let him march straight to Kaduna and rescue the victims. He didn’t address the accusations but delved low into acts of thuggery. Protea hotel staff who were allegedly responsible for some of the bookings would be laughing right now. My only anger is that it is simps like him that keep over valuing pussies. Something that ordinary Indomie and egg should cover, he is dropping 5k USD and Range Rovers. Ewu Gambia |
TastyFriedPussy:to play games, you would need to bootcamp with windows on the system then you can have access to normal windows games. Good MacBooks are not cheap. The build quality alone will tell you that khaki is not leather. Solid Aluminium all round. But remember, the specs would not play modern high demanding games. Also, you can get one with dedicated graphics. Mine comes with the NVIDIA GT650M which is an old boy by today's standards but its better than none. High end gaming laptops exist for a reason. |
TastyFriedPussy:for 2012, there are two MacBook Pros. There is one called Unibody and there is one called Retina. You can read more about the differences on www dot Everymac dot com Upgrading your RAM is dependent on your system's specs. You would need to share details of your system to advice if it is possible. 8gb RAM cost me around 8k each but I got two at 15k when I did the upgrade. |
TastyFriedPussy:Thats exactly the sweet spot I was referring to. Unibody 2012 MPBs are upgradeable. RAM and Storage. Retina 2012 to 2015 are upgradeable, storage only. The MBPs after 2015 are not upgradeable. My MBP came with 4gb RAM which I sold for Airtel Data Money. I got 16gb RAM and left the HDD in because most of the SSDs in the market are fake. Some funny names like Kston. If you can afford it, get a 16gb 2015 MBP core i7 then upgrade storage to whatever you want making sure you are buying only genuine. If you cannot confirm via serial number, don't buy. |
TastyFriedPussy:You are spot on. There are a lot of half baked cookies everywhere. I still see myself as being half baked too which is why learning never stops. The number of coders is not the problem. The 'get-job' mentality is the problem. A lot of people learn programming just to get a job. When my startup grows to a level where I can afford 15 programmers, I would employ them. However, I see their approach as being shallow minded. It's like teaching a man how to cultivate a farm and he keeps looking for farms to employ him instead of starting his own farm. You have tools. Nigeria is filled with problems. Use your tools to provide solutions. (Please not finch again sha). keep creating solutions even if you fail. One day, you would create something like Figma or Spotify. That's the mindset we should have...Not the Wordpress bandwagon of N10k for full website including hosting. PS: Instead of me to build any website less than 100k, I would rather watch Netflix with my time. |
GREATIGBOMAN:I can bet you have not used it for web dev. Laptops are not relics just because of age. Are you rendering in 8k? A 2012 to 2015 MBP is one of the best practical choices for Nigerian Web Devs as at today. I run three OS on my 2012 MBP. Mac OS Catalina, Windows and Ubuntu 22.04. I did extensive research before buying my 2012 MBP. It is the last fully upgradeable Apple Laptop. |
SqueezedPant:My main workhorse is currently a 2012 MBP, 16gb RAM with 500GB HDD, core i7 and I fly through tasks. As a web developer, most of your work would be on the RAM and CPU. Your start up times might be slower than those with blazing SSD but you have the advantage of knowing in advance before your drive fails. Most of your project files should be on GitHub anyway. Irrespective of what people say, a genuine HDD is better than a chinko SSD. I intend to upgrade to a 1tb genuine SSD but I have been slowing down because of the cost vs benefit. Why don't I just get another system, say a 2015 MBP. a 2012 MBP is a workhorse. Don't buy 2011. Run away from 2010. If they dash you, dash another person. It is not the same. Don't buy a 2013 at the same price of a 2015 despite both being Retina. They are not the same. Buy 2012 and 2013 at similar prices or just go for the 2014/2015. Don't buy the 2016/2017 if you can avoid it. The keyboards fail. Cheers. |
machine. The 1.45m seems much though as that's the ball park of an M1 16 inch MBP fully loaded. Your laptop is great nonetheless. Happy sales |
Abbeykabir2:The issue might not be the update. Beeps are usually error notifications especially at BIOS level. Google your laptop make and 'beeps' to start investigation |
No hawking of grilled vultures in this space. I am sure she would subjected to so many drug tests in the next coming days that ordinary Panadol Extra could be used against her. |
otipoju:upcoming actor abi apprentice. the Buffon even admitted to kidnapping and assault. Soon he would open thread that the 17 year old neighbour got pregnant for him. redpill wannabe |
cutesier:If u were you, i would not have said nope to cooking ability. What do basic hotels serve? Noodles, Rice and Swallow. You should have gotten someone to ahow you how to cook these. You could even learn in 2 days by being a mama put apprentice. You need to change your mindset. Let them fail you at the interview before you fail yourself |
I saw this online and i was aghast by the belief system of most Nigerians. Very few saw it as a medical condition. The rumors tactically ignored any medical diagnosis despite her claiming to have spent 30m. If there is anything to learn, it is people tend to push their problems onto others. I dont like Suleiman but i hope he sues the girl for everything she is worth. This is pure libel. The gistlover blog should be arrested and charged to court. Tracking gistlover is possible. It is something i can do if well remunerated. Get the person behind the moniker to any court in the world and see the buffoon suffer consequences. Alima should go to a proper hospital, stop sleeping around and get treated. |
Covenant00001:You did well by using your limited tools to create a video. However, your story line is one of the problems of Nigeria. We have a tendency to believe that our issues are spiritual and there is an evil demon going around harvesting as he pleases. This is just a fantasy. Dont devote your upcoming skills to such incredulous ideas that were fed to you. If your goal is just to make money, then there is money in religion. Carry on |
Lol. Why ya yu running? |
manuelkel:You claim a whole human being with NIN and BVN turned to a snake. You know fully well that you are a liar. You know that story is not true but you have told yourself this story several times and you have started to even believe the lie. Are you ready to subject yourself and everyone involved to a recorded documentary? Are you guaranteeing that everyone involved would tell the story exactly as you have put it? If you are ready and don’t mind being on TV, let me pull strings and make it happen. |
manuelkel:I do. You are claiming a whole human being disappeared from a hotel room. Back to my question. Where did you put her corpse? I am suspecting you cut put the corpse in the boot of the car and formed this story so that her friend would not know. You then drove away and dumped it somewhere. No human can turn into a snake. It is impossible. So cut the crap and confess where you dumped the innocent girl. Except your story is just some phantom bull shit. |
Oches4me:This is the best response you could give? Your account has been created since 2016 yet you have not created a single thread of your own. You go about on other peoples threads trolling. What other evidence do we need to prove how shallow you are upstairs? The cost of educating you should have been invested in a pig farm. |
Another turd from a ‘scholar’. If God did not want men to see each other’s navels and is so ‘haramic’ about it, he would have created men with covered navels. He would have created clothes for humans. What the turd writer fails to grasp is that clothing is a human invention and cloth designs, textures and mode are all cultural. Some cultures favour full coverage in certain seasons and some favour being free. These kind of gibberish tries to make humans seem like robots. |
kolarov93:This is one of the reforms christianity sought to bring to the rigid judaism. Islam is a bad photocopy of adulterated judaism. Most of the core concepts of islam including pork as haram was copied from the books of moses. Judaism, Islam and other Mesopotamian religions all share an hatred for pigs. Early christians and jews under roman occupation found it hard seeing the new conquerors eating well cooked pork and as society was adapting, questions were being asked. This answer you quoted is a very smart way of balancing the equation as the christian body was being populated by people of all cultures including non circumscised gentiles, as they were called. An outright ban on pork by the christian leaders would have meant instant loss of followership from the the new folk. By the time mohammed formed his islamic sect 500 years later, civilized Mesopotamia has changed and cultures have mixed. Unfortunately, the core inter lands like present day mecca and medina were still of the old and uncivilized stock with people still practicing cultures that had long being ancient even by the standards of that period. If muhammed had grown up in egypt or damascus before forming islam, the ruling on pigs would have been different |

and all these comments from desperate people whom I'm sure don't even have the passion for the field, just hoping it gives them big bucks, thinking because you don't need a degree to be a programmer it'll be a breeze... And most of you devs are not even making matters any better, you keep on making this field look cheap and very soon, programming is going to get casted and over saturated... The case of 10k web developers is still much abound and very, very, soon, it's gonna get even worse, half baked programmers go soon full everywhere, potentially causing difficulties for programmers who took lots and lots of time to perfect their skill
