Nope, the last upgrade was in February. I hope it doesn't spread cos no money for phone in this tinubu economy
I understand bro, things are not funny.
Just hope it doesn't spread and the screen can "heal" itself.

Nope I didn't... the last upgrade I did was early this year to 13
Okay.
I asked because that's the most likely reason that has been attributed to the green/pink lines on some Samsung phones.

Hello folks! Pls I suddenly saw a green straight line on my s20plus this afternoon after one and half years of usage... pls what could be the cause and is it rectifiable?
Did you update the OS recently?
Like did you upgrade from Android 12 to 13?

Does it mean one can't get new original note 10+ also?
You can't get.
What you can get now is a refurbished device packaged in a box.

PS: Note 10+ is still a very good phone, it's what I'm currently using. Just ensure you buy from a reputable seller.

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Drops 3-Ton Thermobaric Bomb Sending Shockwaves In Ukrainian City (Video) by XploraBen(m): 11:04am On Oct 03, 2024
franchasofficia:
US is mightier than Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Pakistan combined and will defeat them all in a one on one fight but US will collect heavily, which they are not ready for because US is the number one country that value the lives of her citizens and the sanity of her home soil more than any other nation on earth.
At the bolded, it seems you watch too many war movies where the US always find a way to win.

I'm not disputing the fact that the US has a powerful military but you're overrating them.

In an all-out war, US will lose fighting alone against the combined might of Russia and China, let alone adding Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan.

Many ignorant folks are saying Russia has not been able to defeat "mere" Ukraine but they fail to understand that Ukraine is only able to flex some military muscle because of Western support, which has amounted to about $200 billion since 2022.

Anytime, anyday Ukraine stands no chance against Russia (even Donald Trump referred to them as war machines). There's a reason Russia still refers to this "war" as a special military operation (SMO). If Russia goes to a full-blown war (conventional) and unleash 50% of their military might on Ukraine, I bet you 80% of Ukraine would have been in rubbles.

Mind you, I'm just an objectivist who follows international politics and development.

I got new one in the UK store, warranty and everything are available but I am not sure if he can order it online, but if he get someone in Birmingham, they can give address of the store to buy it.

Brand new Nokia 3310 available there
Okay... but I still have doubts about the newness of these phones because they are all old models.

Based on what I researched, phone OEMs like Samsung and Apple only produce phones from the previous year and the current year at their factories.
Any older model gotten as "brand new" is most often refurbished.

I'll have to agree with you.

It's just saddening to see thousands of Ukrainian soldiers losing their life for a war (which has now been hijacked by the West) that shouldn't have happened or that should have been resolved at its early stages.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Soyuz Spacecraft Brings Home U.S Astronaut From The ISS (Photos) by XploraBen(m): 7:59pm On Sep 23, 2024
When it comes to space technology, just give it to Russia. They sent the first man to space.

But then I use to think...

Since there's still some level of cooperation between the US and Russia in matters pertaining to space travel, why can't they come up with a diplomatic resolve to end the Ukraine war?🤔

This topic was created in 2021 and its accuracy is almost near to the current realities of the Nigerian economy under Tinubu.

Tinubu has driven Nigeria's ramshackled economy into a ditch!

We all thought Buhari was the worst president in the history of Nigeria until Tinubu came.

I finally went for a used Note 20 ultra. The phone arrived yesterday and it has been great so far.

The only issue I am having is that the battery drains so fast. Please, is there anything l can do to manage the battery better?

It's my first Samsung phone.
I guess you got the Exynos version.

You can't get a brand new (from Samsung's factories) of any either of these phones.

The closest you can get are the refurbished ones.

Guestlander:
Many countries were developing the technology around the same time including Germany. The difference between getting a bomb in 5 years as opposed to 20 was made by an American who basically gave the blueprints to the Russians.
I agree with you that the Soviet Union secretly hired American, British, and German spies working at the Los Alamos laboratory to give them important information about the development of the atomic bomb.

But contrary to the bolded, these countries (Britain, Canada, and Germany) were all working in collaboration with the US to develop the bomb. In fact, the US singlehandedly funded the research with $2 billion.

Where do you get your own information from? The Nazis were killing millions of Russians and they couldn't use their Nukes?
How many Americans were killed at pearl Harbour before the US dropped the Nukes on Japan?
I don't deal with conspiracy theories, I don't have the time for that.
How many years were there between the first atomic bomb by the US and Russia?
He's right about Russia building their nukes around the time US was also building theirs. It's just that US were the first to test them by dropping the Fat Man and Little Boy in Nagasaki and Hiroshima respectively.

If you've watched the movie titled "Oppenheimer" you would have known about this.

But don't underestimate Russia's military prowess, even the US don't underestimate them. Russia is in a class of its own when it comes to developing military weapons and technology.

I can teach you Use of English. If you type fast such is bound to happen. Young lad, poverty is a state of mind. With what you type here , it means you are poverty personified. In addition it means you lack culture. Rich people don't waste money. Christ can do anything. When he feed people he told his disciples to gather the waste. Wastefulness of resources is not the sign of affluent.
At the bolded, yes, rich people don't waste money but that doesn't mean they use low-quality products.

Sometimes in December 2022, I went to meet one of the managers of Cormat Nigeria Ltd and I saw Samsung Z Fold 4 and iPhone 13 Pro on the man's table.

I estimated the combined worth of these two phones to be around #2.3 million then.

So it's all about going for top-quality products and being able to afford it.

You guys should continue with this bigoted mentality and keep electing directionless and clueless leaders... After all, everyone has seen the results for the past 9 years.

They're not interested in true governance or ensuring that the masses enjoy democratic dividends.

The APC government is mostly concerned with winning elections (by hook or crook) and looting the treasury.

On August 29, 2023 Tinubu’s government promised to create 50 million jobs and revive the economy over a 3 year period.

Have you seen or heard of any jobs this government created? If the government really means well for Nigerians, we should see at least 16 million jobs created in the first year of this so called economic revival program.

https://www.nairaland.com/7821154/tinubu-sets-3-year-economic-revival

Tjra and efighter have entered ghost mode.
At the bolded, I haven't seen or heard of any job the government created. Instead, many companies and businesses are closing down leading to more unemployment in Nigeria.

Even if it's 3 million jobs, let them first create it.
The APC government right from Buhari has been all about "FG to", "FG set to", "FG plans to"... And a host of other phantom promises.

Those APC paid online miscreants usually go ghost mode in discourse such as this.

3. growth,
4. job creation;
5. access to capital;
6. inclusion;
7. rule of law; and
8. fighting corruption

The problem I have with you and your ilks is that you guys are not honest. The reason you're blindly supporting and defending Tinubu is because he's your tribesman, not because he's competent.
I haven't seen you guys appraise or assess Tinubu's government and his unfavorable policies. angry

Mind you, I support Obi but I don't engage in tribal superiority wars happening on this platform because I've strong roots in two of the major tribes (Igbo and Yoruba).

Never!

Just imagine the amount of money and military hardware Ukraine's Western backers have donated to them, still it's looked like nothing compared to the Russian firepower.

With the way things are going, Russia has the capability to prosecute this war for as long as it takes. Putin has said there's no more room for peace talks.

Subjectively, I just want the war to end because of the thousands, if not millions, of innocent lives that has so far been affected by this war.

In this Tinubu regime??

How many youths get money to rent house? Or you expect them to marry wives in their father's house?

Some youths have not fed themselves yet,, how will they feed others?

I think 35 years should be the appropriate age for men, at least at that age they can marry 25-30 year old women.

Our parents married earlier because life was okay for them then.
I wish I can give your comment 1000 likes! 👍

A lot of youths are still finding it tough providing for themselves, especially in this tinubulation regime.

You now expect these same youths to think of marriage and having kids they won't be able to cater for.

The foolish man also failed to factor in the fact that many guys are yet to marry because they have meagre-paying jobs or have no job to sustain their family when they eventually get married.

I'm very much interested in settling down. But two things are still holding me back:

➡️ I'm not at the level I want financially. Though, to a certain extent, I'm doing okay as a single guy.

➡️ I'm yet to find a decent, sensible, and working class lady.

Hopefully, I get a headway in both of these areas and settle down in about a year time.
