thank a lot.
you've been very helpful.

Any other settlement other than Hausa?

Olu317:
If it Bènin ,then ,there are Hausa settlement in that country.

Kojiek:
I need this GIONEE X1S (3GB/32GB). How do I place my order on Jumia? Pls an experienced person here should guide me.

You can order through Bamac. He is certified

Okay let me give you a breakdown.... The battery burns at the rate if 10% in every 45mins when you're browsing on 4G... I am a very heavy user so it last me about 6-7hrs...
But if you're sure of having light if Atleast 2hrs... It will fully charge within that time.... I was previously using a 5000mah phone so you can excuse me if my taste for battery is high...
But aside that, its a very beautiful phone

Did you have a problem with using Whatsapp when you first set up the phone ?

gr8gem:
Currently using gionee x1s and I can confidently tell you that it is a no go area else you will regret it. Where do I start from, the camera is bad both front and back with fake color and annoying noise in the picture with bad quality output when zoomed even in outside shot with day light. The security is poor that it is easily virus prone, it lags alot and app crashes like there is no tomorrow. The bloatware takes up the little memory size of the phone, also the battery is nothing to write about and it heats up alot. If not that it was gifted to me, I would have sold it and get a phone off my choice. The x1s is a no no for me, I prefer the M6mirror for it sharp front and back camera and battery quality

I can't use whatsapp on my phone. How do you set the data setting to accommodate whatsapp?
And do you have any trouble using Google Play services or any apps with the phone?

Olu317:
Your question is tricky because I am not sure if person you quoted knew if you were referring to Bénin Republic or Bini/Benin in Nigeria?, It must said here that both do have settlers but Republic of Bénin has Hausa settlement more, with a probable 1,000,000 + population. If you also referred to Bini, there are also fringes of their movement to that direction to Akoko Edo in Nigeria, but insignificant, if one considered, the Auchi people,with link to Nupe/Hausa/Yoruba through Islam and migration for greener pasture. One can say, they exist but on a new identity. And if indeed, you want to write anything on Hausa in Bénin Republic, then ,you need visit the Northern part of Bénin Republic , where you will find them mixed up with Baruba/Borgu people.
The screenshot below will be of a help to you.

I meant Benin Republic

Olu317:
well, I appreciate your recognition and I'll advice you google these soft copy of the authors book I mentioned below. Although Newman's work on Chadic language was extensive but other researchers did work on these people as well. Some Bibliography on these are from the following :

All the best.

Bless you you sir.
You've been very helpful.
Are you by chance a professor or just a scholar?

jaymichael:
I speak based on the one I am using right now. It is. Like I said earlier, some phones might come with some defects or factory error even Samsung and iPhones. Some might be clones or outright fake that cannot perform at optimal capacity as the original.
I am not new to gionee phones, this is the third I am using and I have recommended five to different people at different times.

Did you charge the battery before usage? what are the procedure you followed?

9jakool:
Just a little heads up. People Groups gave Hausa a seperate page. Hausa is shown in the map to be found in Burkina Faso, Benin, Ghana, Togo, etc. even though they are native to Nigeria and Niger.

Here is the link
http://www.peoplegroups.org/Explore/ClusterDetails.aspx?rop2=C0090#topmenu

thanks. will take note of that

9jakool:
Well, in that case, let me direct you to some credible online sources.

People groups document ethnolinguistic in all parts of the world. This is a link to their Chadic site.
http://www.peoplegroups.org/Explore/ClusterDetails.aspx?rop2=C0062#topmenu
You can click show more for more options and feel free to explore their map.

Here is another website call ethnologue. This is their Chadic list. They only allow 6 maximum views on their site, so make sure to not leave the page since you only have six views.
https://www.ethnologue.com/subgroups/chadic

Thanks a load.
Will follow up on it as soon as I get the chance. Don't want to waste my Views

9jakool:
You seem to be curious on Chadic languages. Are you doing some sort of research project?

something of the sort, yes. More like a term paper.

9jakool:
There are no native Chadic languages in Benin.

thanks for your contribution. I really appreciate it

I will also like. to know if there are any groups apart from the ones u mentioned that speak Chadic languages. They don't have to be natives of that country.

9jakool:
The estimated 150 Chadic languages are natively spoken in 5 countries in the Eastern Sahel region. They are spoken in the modern day countries of Nigeria (northern & central), Niger (southern), Chad (central), as well as the uppermost parts of Cameroon, and Central African Republic.

1. Outside of Hausa, Angas is the Chadic language with the highest number of speakers. It's spoken in Central Nigeria in Plateau state, especially LGAs of Kanke and Pankshin.

2. Situated directly North of the Angas, are the Sayawa or Zaar people. They are mainly found in Bogoro and Tafawa Balewa, as well as sorrounding areas in Bauchi State.

3. Kamwe, is likely the third most spoken Chadic language after Angas. It's primarly spoken in the rugged Mandara mountains, which is a very densely populated and linguistically hotbed. It's mostly spoken in Michika LGA in Adamawa state in Northeastern Nigeria. It's also spoken in neighboring LGAs with some communities also found along the border in Cameroon.

4. Psikye or Kapsiki is considered by many to be a Kamwe dialect. It's spoken in the Far North region of Cameroon, and across the border in Nigeria.

5. Kilba is a language spoken in Hong local government in Adamawa state of Nigeria. It's related to Marghi (Southern variety).

Marghi is a group of related languages spoken by an ethnic group in Northeastern Nigeria. Its divided into Central, Southern, and Western varieties. They are spoken
6. Marghi (South) is mainly spoken in Askira-Uba Lga of Southern Borno state and Madagali LGA, as well as surrounding LGAs in Northern Adamawa state in Northeastern Nigeria.

7. Marghi (Central) is mainly concentrated in Damboa Lga of Southern Borno. The language is unique because it has an extensive phonology with distinct 84 consonants which is the most consonants of any living language in the world.

8. Marghi (Putai or Western) is spoken in parts of Damboa, Kaga, and Chibok Lgas. Although Putai people number in their hundreds of thousands, the language is mainly only spoken by a very small handful of people (elders). It's a nearly extinct language and it's spoken by a few dozen people or less tan 100 people. It can be considered one of the smallest, if not the smallest Chadic language. Most Putai people have switched to Kanuri, a Nilo-saharan language.

9 and 10.) Mubi and Kajakse are two related languages and are the two Easternmost spoken Chadic language. They are spoken largely in Sila province of Chad which shares a border with Sudan.

11. Buduma, also known as Yedina is a language spoken the the triborder of Chad, Nigeria, and Niger. It's the only other natively spoken Chadic language in Niger Republic outside of Hausa.

thanks a lot.
are there any Chadic languages spoken in Benin? I came across it somewhere

Hello. Any Linguist or Language Enthusiast here? I need a list of 10 Chadic languages spoken in 10 different countries. I only know of the Hausa Language.

I am writing a paper on it.

Any contribution is duly appreciated.

what kind of documents do we need to bring?

I am studying linguistics. is it possible to mark English? I can also mark French.

I am based in Awka.
What are the criterias please.

can one mark and check at the same time?

Emma1Oj:
Yes I'm very very normal. I said so for the man safety should in case the woman is not humble... because some woman can be terrorist. more ova is their house not her house because she is married.

For the man's safety. What kind of asinine reasoning Is this? Are you not ashamed of yourself?

Tell me how many men have handed over their documents to their wives or even included their wives as joint owners of their property...

And you... you are so insecure, that because u might be moving into a woman's house , u need to claim ownership of her assets before you can rest in that house.

MrHandsome2013:
there is this girl that is all over me, she keep giving me greenlight, she wont let me be but the problem here is that the girl in question is a minor about 14 years of age...that is twice my age but she has full physical growth...dont you thing is a child abuse to succour to her advances

Are you trying to say that the girl is older than you?
Guess that makes her guilty of *child abuse*
Please run away from her before we start hearing "I was molested by one aunty when I was 7 years old"

harbjar:
Noo i haven't...

OK. thanks

harbjar:
About 14days.. Or a lil less

alright. did u get a tempered glass for it?

harbjar:
Well.. I actually bought the jumia travels version that has 32Gb compared to the Nigerian one with 16gb...
The phone is absolutely awesome, screen is also superb as it has this HD /high aspect ratio feature that makes watching movies interesting..
The camera is also sharp though i don't care about it... I dont take pictures
The only problem i have is the fact that it gets hot with heavy usage and its Battery isnt what i expected
Though its 4000mah but last for 6hrs if you're to browse with it nonstop...
It drains fast sha.. But if you're not a heavy user, or u re sure of having constant light to charge... Then you'll enjoy the phone... It charges fast to.. 2hrs:30mins to full from 0%

how long did ur delivery take?

harbjar:
I met bamac tru a friend who never even saw him too before... We ordered for two phones... Redmi 5 and my gionee x1s and i can say for sure that he is a man to trust

can u share ur experience on D gionee X1S?

Anitoya:
It's better than always because it's surface is softer and doesn't cause irritation unlike always that has a harder surface and causes irritation.

you are right. and one doesnt feel wet even after the pad is full. unlike always.
Always uses some kind of gel for their pads while Virony uses cotton which is more hygenic

Anitoya:
Virony is not in Lagos market. It's mainly in the south south states I have seen it. I searched for it in different Lagos markets.

alright.
i am in the southeast.

Ishilove:
Okay, thanks.

no problem

Ishilove:
The super is supposed to be more than 7 nau. I will look out for it.

well.... i guess they capitalized on majority. buy it is still a good buy.

just check any of the main markets around you. if u r in lagos, u might not find it in some retail shops.

Ishilove:
I have never come across it. Does it come in regular and super?

yes. it has 18 regular and 7 super. with 5 pant liners(which makes it 30 though i dont count it) Also a better product than Always. Doesnt get torn unnecessarily.
