I'm not discouraging you from switching to an iPhonesmiley... You'll be fine with it.
I only chipped in the flexibility of a thing since you've been using Android phones for a long time.

You may still miss the Android flexibility, especially Samsung's One UI, by switching to an iPhone.
Anyway, enjoy your iPhone. smiley

Seeing multiple lines on an expensive Samsung screen can be traumatizing. So the rest is needed.

Na wa o. An I'm planning to run from Samsung.
If u see my Note 20 Ultra, u go pity me. The green vertical lines on it is 7 and counting. This is after I changed the scree last 2years o for 170k. Took it to Samsung office, they told me it's 340k or thereabout.
The S20/Note 20 series, S21 series, and S22 series are mostly vulnerable to the green line issue.

If you want to continue enjoying Samsung, switch to the S23 series upward, as the green/pink line issue is not prevalent among these models.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Arsenal vs PSG: UCL Finals (3 - 4) on penalties On 30th May 2026 by XploraBen(m): 8:28pm On May 30
Congratulations to PSG on retaining the Champions League.✨️

It's obvious Arsenal didn’t prepare well for the penalty shootouts, hence the victory went to the better prepared team (PSG).

Arsenal have tried.👏 Before they won the EPL, they have consistently finished second on the table for the past three seasons.
So, let them prepare better for next season's UCL.
NYSCRe: How To Get NYSC Exemption Certificate by XploraBen(m): 1:37pm On May 21
I got my NYSC exemption certificate from my alma mater (FUTA).

I applied on the NYSC portal as a prospective corps member would do. After registering, I was informed on the portal that my certificate of exemption will be sent to FUTA.

I checked the portal about 3 weeks later and got the notification that it has been sent to FUTA. Then I went to Akure to pick it up.

Winning the EPL after 22 years calls for a big celebration.

This team has been putting in the work for more than three seasons now. Now they have silenced every naysayers and proved doubters wrong.✅️

BusinessClarification On Filing Personal Income Tax As A Freelancer by XploraBen(op): 5:12pm On Mar 27
Based on the following screenshot, especially the underlined, does filing personal income tax apply to freelancers earning on platforms such as Upwork?

Please note the underlined part... Earning from Nigerian sources.

Deadline for filing is 31st of March 2026 and there's a ₦100,000 fine attached.

Please I need those who are knowledgeable in this to respond because I don't have money for fine. grin

God bless you for this!

I've always been saying this. From Vietnam to Guatemala to Iraq to Afghanistan to Panama to Libya to Venezuela, the U.S. has caused more unrest and bloodshed than any country in the world.

I'm not in support of Russia, but they are not a bigger evil than the USA!

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Fires Nuclear-Capable Oreshnik Missile Against Ukraine by XploraBen(m): 12:21pm On Jan 10
Onlinetutor7:
It can be stopped. You are not very vast on anti-missile defence systems.

Do some research and you will see some mad anti-missile defence capacity that will checkmate Oreshnik.

Oreshnik is not the first missile that was thought unstable in the past, before it's fallibility was found out.
Sorry to say, you're the uninformed one here.

Presently, the Oreshnik IRBM can't be stopped!
Patriot, THAAD, IRIS-T, SAMP/T, Arrow 3 and all the other current Western air defense systems can't stop the missile.

The Oreshnik warhead contains 6 sub-warheads, with each containing 6 hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) that can be fitted with nuclear or conventional ordnance. This altogether makes for 36 munitions in one big warhead.

Do you know the reason why the Oreshnik missile can't be stopped? It's because each of the HGVs flies at speed exceeding Mach 10 and can spontaneously change their trajectory and flight paths, making it extremely difficult for existing air defense systems to intercept them.

The only way to intercept the Oreshnik is to shoot it down before it travels above the Earth's atmosphere or just after it reenters and before its warhead splits to open up its HGVs. The existing air defense systems can't do any of these.

So next time, please do some research before asserting your ignorance.
ProgrammingRe: Nairaland Full-stack Vibe Engineering Challenge #1 (Ludo Game) by XploraBen(m): 3:08pm On Dec 18, 2025
Not discrediting the effort of others, but among the 3D Ludo games I have tried here, these two wins it for me.

showtechedge:
Hello Everyone and Respect to the Organizer,

Here is my final submission for the 3D Ludo Challenge.

This project was built as a robust Single Page Application (SPA) using Vanilla JavaScript and Three.js. My focus was on creating a stable, "Golden Master" build that performs flawlessly across both desktop and mobile devices without relying on heavy frameworks.

🔗 Repository: https://github.com/showtechedge/3d-ludo-challenge.git

🎮 Live Demo: https://showtechedge.github.io/3d-ludo-challenge/

🛠 Key Engineering Features:

🤖 Single Player AI (CPU): Unlike standard digital boards, this is a full video game. You can play Solo vs 3 CPUs, or Team Mode (2 Humans vs 2 CPUs). The AI handles rolling, decision making, and piece movement automatically.

🎮Ludo games can take 40 minutes. I prioritized a Save System so you never lose your progress, even on mobile.

📱 Mobile-First "Smart Tap" System: I implemented a custom raycasting algorithm with a proximity threshold. This ensures a smooth experience on touchscreens (solving the "fat finger" issue) while maintaining precise clicks on desktop.

💾 Intelligent State Management: The game features a persistent Auto-Save system using LocalStorage. You can close the browser and resume exactly where you left off, or create named Save Slots.

🎨 Studio Quality Visuals: Features custom lighting, procedural textures (generated via Canvas API to keep file size low), and a polished UI with a Start Screen and Victory Celebration.

🇳🇬 Naija Ruleset: Fully implements the "Killing," "Double Six," and "Home Stretch" rules we are used to.

🙏 Appreciation: A big thank you to @Seun and the organizers for putting this challenge together. It was a rigorous test of logic and 3D rendering optimization. To the other participants, well done on your builds—it is great to see the level of talent in our developer community.

Open to feedback and code reviews!
I like the implementation of this one better because of its movable Ludo interface, 2 dice, player stats, and nice game play.
babtaima:
You’re smart bro.. Check my own entry out I’ll love your feedback bro: https://tunerobrainz.github.io 🙏
Though it only use 1 dice, I like this one too because of its simple, yet intuitive interface, and nice game play.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
US has tested Russian ground battle capabilities through Ukraine, Russian is just coakcroaches, USA has nothing to worry about, Russia that are scamming blacks to fight for them want to dare direct confrontation with US? That's suicide
You're the one making this up.
There's a reason Russia termed what they're doing in Ukraine as a special military operation (SMO). If it were to be a full-blown war, Ukraine would have been leveled ('GAZAed') from the first month when the confrontation began. Russia has all the bombs and deadly missiles to execute this kind of annihilation but choose not to. Instead, they choose to slowly and steadily wear out the Ukrainian military.

That said, if Russia was truly a "paper tiger" like some believe or "cockroaches" like you said, what stops NATO and the US from invading them? It's because of MAD (mutually assured destruction)! Forget Hollywood or what the West mainstream media made you believe, there can't be a direct confrontation between Russia and the US or NATO, because it will be highly disastrous for the whole world.

This is the reason why the US is trying to facilitate an end to the Russian-Ukraine war of a thing through diplomatic means.

Peace out.✌️

ProgrammingRe: Programmers: AI Is Not Taking Your Job by XploraBen(m): 9:00pm On Aug 22, 2025
AI won't take the job of experienced software developers who know their onions. But the important thing is that, from now and going into the future, we all need to learn how to integrate and leverage AI in our various fields of endeavors in tech and outside tech.

I'm still of the believe that clients and companies who want to develop new software applications or maintain and update existing ones won't entrust the whole process to AI tools. They will still be needing experienced software developers.

My 2 cents.✌️

At the emboldened, it seems you're under the illusion that Russia's vast stockpile of nuclear weapons are for decoration.

You're clamoring for the "defeat" of Russia and someone is saying it may not happen in our lifetime but you insist it will happen soon.

Are you the one that's going to spearhead the invasion and inflict defeat on Russia?

Think logically and not sentimentally because you support Ukraine.

LASG didn't provide any temporary shelter for these people, yet they want them to just relocate.

And to rent a typical mini flat in Lagos, you must have above 600k. Let's no even talk about 2 or 3-bedroom flat that require some millions of naira.

There's a reason no country dare invade Russia—massive stockpile of nuclear weapons. Also, Russia has equal amounts of submarines (nuclear and non-nuclear) as the US lurking strategically in different oceans of the world.

If there's ever going to be a direct confrontation between the US and Russia, trust me, it won't be fought with conventional weapons but with nuclear warheads, which may lead to mutual assured destruction (MAD). This can result in the annihilation of both the Western world and Russia.

The US may have the most powerful military in the world but Russia is also a major force to reckon with.

Foreign AffairsRe: Putin’s Soldiers Killed ‘in Mass Poisoning By Laced Bottles Of Water’ by XploraBen(m): 1:26pm On Jul 21, 2025
BlackViper:
Putin really overplayed his hand in starting this conflict and now his arrogance, lack of intelligence and lack of principles is keeping his country in it.

Russian casualties are rapidly approaching the 1 million mark and it will all be Putin's fault.

Russia can NEVER win this war because Ukraine is a proxy for NATO and EU members all of which are far wealthier than Russia's glorified camel jockey allies from the Middle East and Africa.

Even China that would have supported them is dealing with the repercussions of Donald Trump’s tariffs and the possibility of their own looming conflict over the future sovereignty of Taiwan.
Some of you guys just swallow Western media narrative hook, line, and sinker!

I'm neither in support of the West or Russia, but the truth is that, for every soldier Russia loses, Ukraine loses x7 or up to x10 of that.

If you want to guage the losses from both sides, just check the exchange of dead soldiers between Russia and Ukraine and see the very wide gap in exchanges.

And despite more than 18,000 sanctions imposed on Russia, their economy is still doing better than those of European economies.

I don't know what your own "winning" is but Russia currently controls about 20% of Ukraine, which is rich in rare earths. Do you think Ukraine can claim that region back? NO!

I follow independent YouTubers who closely follow this conflict and report without bias, so I know all what you said is not true.
