Great move by our lawmakers.

I lost a childhood friend, while growing up due to situation like that, he was shot while celebrating our victory in Awada League (a football competition) , he was rushed to Toronto hospital and they refused to touch him until we get a police report, Awada police station refused to give the report without investigation, he took his last breath, hours later after losing to much blood. Maybe he could have been playing for Manchester United or Arsenal by now, if his life was saved that day.


RIP. "TOP 10"

What is the average price of Italian and Spanish tiles?
What is the average cost of Nigeria tiles?
I like the tiles that look like wood

You can get Italian 600mm x 600mm porcelain tiles as from #4500 and above
Spanish from 3500 and above
Nigeria 1900--3500 per sqm
You mean something like this? @bolded

FastShipping:
Some Nigerian made tiles are just okay. But don't compare sleep and death or compare heat burn and fire burn. Spanish and Italian tiles are 5-10 higher in grade than Nigerian tiles. Those white tiles you displayed up there were copycat of some well known Spanish tiles. They look a lot better than the Nigerian ones of the same design. Those buying those Nigerian tiles you displayed only doing so because of the cost. If they had a choice, trust me they won't buy those Nigeria made tiles that are Spanish and Italian copycat.

If it is not Panadol, it is not the same thing as Panadol.

Sir, Its very obvious you are still looking down on locally made tiles, i'm not comparing Italian and Spanish tiles to our locally made tiles, No!. I implore you to take out time from your busy schedule and do a market research, don't send anyone, like oga EgunMogaji rightly said "leave your ATM at home" and go to the market alone, you'll be surprised at the level of improvement we've made, and i'm sure thoughts like combining Italian, Spanish and Nigerian tiles like chief mufutau55 or going all Nigeria like EgunMogaji will definitely cross your mind.
If you want quality tiles and can afford Italian and Spanish tiles great! Go for it, but for those on budget that can't afford Italian and Spanish tiles, you can still get quality in Nigerian tiles for 30--40% less.

You men should understand women like to move with the trend. Only few of us actually bother to be unique. If a woman has friends who use Samsung, give her a phone 100 times better than a Samsung, she will complain and tell you Samsung is the best.

My advise is, buy what your woman appreciates don't force anything on her.


Keep your Xiaomi phones to yourself till she understands Xiaomi phones. You want her to start explaining Xiaomi phone to her friends using iphone, Samsung, techno, infinix when we have lots of guys who do not even believe in Xiaomi yet?


I know how many questions Tosinjay asked me before he joined the Xiaomi family. He was a Samsung person before the initiation into Xiaomi hood

Lobatan @bolded.
Bae turned down a Letve Leeco cool 1 in favour of infinix note 2.
I don't even bother recommending xiaomi to anyone, use your techno and infinix jejely.

Bookiemart01:
Hehehe.

I notice people like to bad mouth what they don't know. I have been there. Someone asked me which phone I use, I said Xiaomi note 3 pro. He looked confused and asked for country of origin, I said China. He then began to ask why Nigerians like cheap Chinese phones.

I asked him if $180 was cheap (I bought mine last August ).... He said I should have bought a techno instead.

I told him I don't use cheap phones meant for Nigerian use only. Told him how I sold Samsung S5 for my darling rn3 pro.

At the end, I advised him to use Google and stop being myopic

Lol. imagine kicking against buying Chinese phones, then advising you to buy techno.

mufutau55:
I really enjoyed your lessons on Tiles and the various sample pics you sent me on Whatsapp. So I mixed Italian, Spanish and Nigerian tiles.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have so many collections of tiles samples that it even affected my purchase; too much to chose from.
If you were in Lagos area, I would have patronize you too. Thank you.

You are welcome chief

Pls house my Xiaomi Redmi 4X bought a week ago was stolen in church today and the thief has switched it off. I need help on how I can lock it permanently so that no one will be able to use it or is there anything I can do to still track and get the phone ? (Note - I ve not activated any security app except screenlock on the phone).
Thanks, waiting for meaningful and constructive contributions.....

So sorry about your loss bro

Are you talking about MTN Ghana MTN is very stable in my area oo

It is very appropriate to ask the person since the image was gotten from his WhatsApp status update.

He is using KK Launcher .

No offense bro, our relationship is strictly business, so i didn't want to bother you with something that petty. My apologies.

Do you want me to take it down? i'll do that

mufutau55:
What a real and good statement and advise. @Kopell told me about that same repackaging business.
I bought some Nigerian Made Tiles too and they are very good.
Don't overlook Nigeria Made Tiles o... as per my good friend @Write2obi a nice Tiles seller in the East, and I listened.

Property Forum Nairalanders, please share your ideas and experiences with your fellow Nairalanders on anything and everything.

Hajji M.

I'm glad you are loving your tiles chief, we've come a long way in tiles production, gone are the day when local manufacturers are scared to put their logo and "made in Nigeria" at the rear and pack of their tiles. CDK Ceramics and West African Ceramics are really setting the pace and Time Ceramics and Goodwill Ceramics are not far behind.

A Nairalander was at my office last week looking for white porcelain Spanish or Italian tiles, i showed him our samples and their prices, he needed about 1800+sqms, so as expected the money involved was huge, he said he'll need to leave the tile purchase until his next visit to Nigeria due to the funds involved.
Then i asked him a question ; why Spanish or Italian? Why not Nigerian? . He scoffed at my mention of Nigerian tiles.
Then asked him if he'll like me to show him made in Nigeria white porcelain tiles, just to see not touch or buy . He said ok, then i showed him the samples and.
He was so impressed and decided to go with Nigerian tiles and saving alot of money. Local manufacturers are uping their games and the competition is becoming more and more intense both price wise.

aieromon:
Oga, why didn't you just simply ask the owner of the picture?

I copied the image online, and i don't think it's appropriate to ask the person such question

You don't push out a legend like this. At worst you give them less playing time with a coaching role. Mourinho is going to destroy Man Utd. By the time he's through with the club they'll be like Inter Milan. Which is fine by me, because the only club I hate more than Man Utd is Chelsea.

Please SDFU if you don't know the true story. he asked to leave, he sill has a contract with Manchester United but they choose to let him join Everton for free

hv u ever ask urself, as good as xiaomi is, or as cheap as it is, why are our retailers not bringing it in?

as big as jumia why dey left even d few of those xiaomi product on jumia global where psy on delivery is not applicable?

or are u saying dey don't want to make profit?

Because the brand is not well advertised, xiaomi guys are simply not advertising enough, if i see xiaomi advert on SS and the likes i'll personal open a Xiaomi exclusive store in Nigeria.

For Glo users, this is a little calculation.

Don't buy data from reseller. Since here is about getting value for money, let me drop this here.

I normally buy 5k data (that's 24gb with my normal 100% if i subscribe withing 72 hours(3 days).

Am on bumpa tariff plan, i get 10,000 for voice call to all network at 55k per second and 4 Naira per text messages, which translate into roughly 303 minutes of call time and 15 days validity.
The cheapest Glo data i had seen is 4100 for 24gb with d normal 100% bonus attached. That's without the free calls of 10k for 15 days o.

Funny thing is, i buy airtime from wholesaler, and the 5k airtime i use will cost 4650. That's 550 naira higher than Dan data i can get from reseller. Is the 550 naira worth 10k call time? Even if am on Glo 15k per second to all network (61 minutes).
Funny thing is, i normally keep 200 naira recharge card with me and set a reminder on my phone and extend my bonus airtime with 5 days every time i recharge 200 naira before my airtime expiration (15 days initially)
Note: I don't wait for 15 days before i recharge 200 naira, i do so at 14th day and if i still have data left after 14 + 5 days, i will recharge 200 naira again and my bonus call time increases by another 5 days and it goes on like that till my data expires on 30th day. In order words, with 5k, i wount spend money on airtime throughout d month. The only advantage data seller has over subscription from Glo is, data rollover.
So, if Glo SME reseller doesn't make it super cheap, it's not worth it at all. And for new Glo subscribers, they will be on Glo jolifi8 which gives more airtime and free data to send even as gift and even another free data for them o

Go is very poor in my area. MTN all the way, reliable and cost-effective

Chai, that lumpy own is 3 style o, first u will have to use a dried grounded Egusi, grind with mushroom. 2, ordinary dried Egusi grounded dried, and u can still ground ur Egusi with ur oda ingredient bt u will have to fry it well and not stir much. But best result is dried Egusi, fried before u add oda ingredients . Frying dem and knowing wen to add oda ingredients is d secret

Dried Egusi with mushroom is d best . Nutritious and stays very lumpy

The bolded is the secret, thou i don't like lumpy egusi.

Using 'ignorance' is just mincing words. Nowdays, when a person requests for the name of my device I just jejely say na from china. I no get time to dey explain.
Most people are blinded by the medicore phones all these underpar chinesse company dump in Nigeria all in the name of making available cheap devices. Imagine Infinix using MT6573 for a device(Infinix Note 4) in 2017?? and it is their top of the line phone!!!

Unfortunately their devices are actually not cheap, it you go spec for spec

NOOBODY IS THE BEST!

The future of commerce is online & those better placed to reap its bounties are those who adopt it with a sense to providing an honest & uncommon experiences & services e.g NOOBODY. I'm very pleased to humbly lend my voice in addition to those that led me to him, in applauding 1 of the key members of this forum for his uncommon attitudes & honesty in dealing & helping fellow Nigerians netizens take advantage of opportunities that abounds online.

Been following this thread for sometime (guys watch your dealings & statements online, it goes beyond your imagination). And I'm used to seeing pple refer everyone in need of gadgets to Noobody & when my Redmi Note 3, which I also sourced from a guy on N/L ended its loyal & meritorious service recently, I decided to give him a trial. And I'm pleased to report back after 2 great devices(Mi Max 2 & RN4) & complete accessories worth 200K (with nothing inside for him except what I gave him), your man @NOOBODY did not disappoint & Infact left me so impressed that I'd definitely do more deals with him & refer others too.

Pls guys, let's all applaud NOOBODY. Men! He's a correct guy & highly recommended to all.

Congratulations on your devices sir, and a shout of bravo! to noobody. it's so refreshing to know we still have trustworthy Nigerians.

You don't mean it ? . That would have been an unforgivable heart piercing scenario .

I'm telling ya, got letv cool 1 for WAG, and she told me it's China i just jejely collected my phone, and replaced it with a ridiculously overpriced infinix.

Keballl:
Thanks for the advice bro, I appreciate. Meanwhile, who give them permit to complain when Na awoof dem dey chop. Any phem, dem go use their money replace their phone shikena !! .

You want to hear heart breaking comments like "you should have given me tecno or infinix, rather you went for cheap China phone"
I've been there, and i know how it hurts

I dey plan to buy Mi 6 , I be windows 10 mobile ( 950XL) person but wan cross carpet go Andriod with Naoimi being my first Andriod device.
