Oh they are all Touch
And iPhone is the best touch screen phone ever
Get the 3Gs or if you want to cut your existing mtn,glo,zain sim card to micro sim card get the iPhone 4

@Poster i did it just with an Xbox 360
Okay on vista and Windows 7
Set up an wireless ad-hoc network
Onwidows 7 go here :Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
You shall see setup a connection or network then go to setup a wireless ad hoc network At first dont password preotect it and remember to save it
Then go to connect to without plugging the iZap right click properties in the connect to when you see the iZap connection and go to internet sharing and enable it then select wireless LAN click OK and connect and go online not from the iZap application but from the connect to but if it dosent work fine use the izap application then connect to the wireless network you created wait for a few mins 2-3 then go to your PS3 search for and connect to your network,
And hopefully it works,if it dosent try using a LAN cable instead of wireless, repeat the steps above,just that do not create a wireless network since it wont be helpful,
,this is ICS (internet connection sharing)
And before i go,i do this using LAN for my xbox 360 use wireless for my iPod touch and Blackberry 9700 and my sisters and brothers laptops so we can be browsing at a time with only one iZap,
Let me know if it dosent do

The N97 is a failed project from Nokia they said that so
For Storm2 Well people dont like Blackberry if not for its messenger
If you could wait a little you could get the Nokia N8 they learned their mistakes from N900 and N97 and corrected it i think 8MP according to a source it would e released in August but if you cant wait buy the Storm2,

Exactly thats my point If our government is serious with light,electricity,security and education
Infact i can guess by 2016 we can Overtake them

YAAAAAAAAAAY! A GOLDMAN BOY IS IN CHARGE OF THE NIGERIAN TREASURY! EVERYBODY RUN FOR THE HILLS .

By the way, he might be right. Nigeria's economy is a black economy; in other words, everything is done with cash so its hard to get accurate data on unemployment figures. Nigerians do a lot of "informal" jobs and trades like selling goods from a kiosk which might not be considered a business.

[size=14pt]Cut your joke pls but yeah you are corrrect and Aganga may be correct if he based his statistics on 'indirect' and 'self' employment
Scenarios like Plumbers are indirectly employyed,richarge cards sellers and kiosk,shops are considered as 'self' employed if included them then he is absolutely right, Even in the villages poor people engage in farming 'self' and 'indirect' employment .Nigerians who dont have jobs try many ways to survive and thus we get 'self' and 'indirect' employment examples again are'mechanics,car washers, e.t.c So based on this he is DAMN right [/size]

i consider the display of our military gadgets to be a security breach. Do we really need to dsiplay them?

Yeah right 'security vulnerability' but they never show all,like Tanks for example and Bombs + Missiles,
Half should be shown not all,but the CAS is trying to say we have flyable planes again + many of them and so ,
But like i said it is good,US,UK too do so
I remember, Iran not too long ago did a military parade where it displayed never before seen and hear hardware,they also displayed UAV,Tanks e.t.c
Telling the West US and Israel particularly we are getting strong, by this military hardware to make them think twice if they want to do somethings stupid to Iran by invading them cause of 'weapons of mass destruction' which is nuclear bombs like they invaded iraq,

[img]http://I feel insulted anytime I see Nigerian troops brandishing AK 47s Does anyone realize how old that weapon is?
Even Biafra designed her own rifle from scratch.
South African military carry a South African rifle designed and deployed to service in 1982 called R-4 see pic.

And I also notice that the waist line of Nigerian soldiers have not reduced one bit! Someone rightly classified Nigerian military as a scare crow.[/img]

Dude, the R4 rifle you just showed in that picture is actually a copy of the Istreali Galil rifle. And guess what, its design was gotten from, yep, the AK-47 RIFLE due to the later's reliability.

By the way, Nigeria manufactures the FN-FAL (NR-1) and the AK-47 (OBJ-006), under license of course. But the later, 'though old, has proven to be the MOST reliable, one of the deadliest, and least maintenance-intensive rifle in the world. The American M-16/M-4 don't even come close.

yeah me too it is VERY annoying but just in case the brigade of guards DOES not use it i think they use FN(60% sure)
But the advantage Ak-47 has is that it never jams

REAL TRUTH:
How do you reason my friend? are you saying that if the Government proposal of paying unemployed graduates #15,000 monthly sails through,,,all those who benefits from it would automatically be employed? Or in USA ,,whereby once you loose your job and you file for unemployment benefits ,,you start getting $500 every week,,then U re employed?
Such a dumb analogy,,

How do you reason my friend? are you saying that if the Government proposal of paying unemployed graduates #15,000 monthly sails through,,,all those who benefits from it would automatically be employed?
Well i readon with facts and umm we are not yet in the 15,000 monthly shit and we were talking bout that not a dumb anology afterall

[quote author=Double-en link=topic=457514.msg6167041#msg6167041 date=1275904575]Can the people u referred to as "employed" who earn 5-7000 monthly support anyone besides themselves.

Thats a good point
If we use govt presumed figures to calculate, Nigeria's population is 150 million (intercensus figures)
Aganga says the entire labour force is just over 50 million people ( abt 33% of the total popln) and these are those aged between 15-64
Average life expectancy in Nigeria as at 2008 is 48 yrs.
So if we assume that 5% of the population are those retired over 64 years.
It goes to follow that the remaining 63% are Nigerian children 14 years and below, disabled individuals, home keepers and the students , about 94.5 million dependent individuals

We have a lot more to worry abt than the employment rate. Nigerian bureau of statistics should get a better hold of their statistics b4 they attempt to give the press insight on the nigerian economic situation[/quote]Can the people u referred to as "employed" who earn 5-7000 monthly support anyone besides themselves.
Well if they cant support any body beside themselves thats their problem but as long as they as employed it dosent matter, isnt that what we are arguing bout?

AjanleKoko:
The stats are from the National Bureau of Statistics, and not from Aganga himself. So technically, he's not lying.
I tend to think it may be correct. We seem to always look at graduate unemployment as the yardstick for unemployment in Nigeria. Most graduates, who are not up to 20% of the population, are unemployed, so they would probably form the bulk of that figure, particularly in the urban areas.

a bit of truth here

Katsumoto:
Presumably you work for a corporate body and as such it makes sense to include everyone earning some income as employed for segmentation and targeting. The fact is, as far as government fiscal policy is concerned, they form part of the underground economy because even though they are generating income, they are doing so for themselves and not for the economy. Hence the term, underground economy. They do not pay taxes and their income is not part of GDP.

Morally, an electrical engineering graduate who is working as a street hawker can not be classed as employed as he is temporarily employed in an industry that does not contribute to GDP whilst he continues searching for a job. Underground workers are not taken into account in any economy including the southern european countries such as Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Spain has an unemployment of 19.7% and these includes temporary contract workers who do not have proper employment and do not contribute to Spain's GDP. I maintain that graduates who work as street hawkers, barbers, drivers, etc are unemployed for two reasons:
1. They rarely pay taxes
2. They do not accept their employment and like you mentioned, they continue to seek proper employment. They stop being unemployed when they are part of the mainstay economy.

Mind you, I am not talking about graduates who work for corporate bodies in undesirable professions, I am only refering to those that are not counted as tax payers.

yes it is true,
The 19.7% can be believed , Like i said before they may be employed but earning around 5,000 monthly or 6,000 or 7,000 monthly which as a reason it they may still suffer and they may not contribute to our economy in whatsoever but they are employed i-thats what we are debating, Being employed does not mean you being rich,
I think taganga is correct

FL Gators:
I want to see sign of economic growth. . . .

You're full of assumptions, ma dear. Can you or can you not prove to us with articles or solid facts that from last year to this year any economic growth/any change that 130million more ppl were employed.

There's no good news if we cant be sure of the statistics. . . .

OKay Can you or can you not prove to us with articles or solid facts that from last year to this year any economic growth Okay remember the article that said Nigeria is the 33rd largest economy in the world? Damn i was sad to see people criticizing it, Economy Growth Gators you see, This with no light,no infrastructure if the government gives us 6,000 mw we shall see RAPID economy growth, but still there is economy growth i think this support it,
And please what does it mean if the citizens of a country live under $1 under a day cause Nigerians now live $2 a day tell me what does it mean first (i dont know) and if living under $2 a day means improvement then i will show you where i got my this

FL Gators:
Are you retarded? So you're telling me that from 2009-2010, 130 millions were employed and yet there's nothing to show from it?
Which compaines were built to offer this million people jobs?

You should ask yourself whether you are retarded? you said So you're telling me that from 2009-2010, 130 millions were employed and yet there's nothing to show from it? it is safe to say i didnt say that exactly,Aganga and the bussiness day said so,
Notin to show from it?See they may be employed but earning 6,000 monthly (yes very poosible) or even less day (even more possible) but what do you want them to show seriously? Bently?
Which compaines were built to offer this million people jobs? i tink companies are not built industries are, but whateva companies like ABC transport for example,or other companies alike are getting some new cars and they employ drivers withough neccessary building companies or industries whatsoever,
THis is good news cut a cake to celebrate!

A bit funny

People rubbishing the 19 %, should keep quiet the above quote says @ 2009 unemployed rateis 10 million which means that 140 million have jobs sp this 19 % can be believed

Fashola and Lagos are unbelievable!

Very good
Bless you lady

Bloody Nigerians!

If the BBC moves down to Niger Delta to make a documentary of the eyesore living conditions, vis a vis folks who have taken resort and feels comfortable living in slums, more than half of the bloody nairalanders around here will be the first group to tag the government all sort of names.

Now the government feels its time to clean up the dirty slums around the Niger Delta region, give the people better homes, better roads, better schools, fresher environments, as well as improve aesthetics, culture and tourism, all these which is clearly capable of going a long way in improving the average life of folks from that region as well as stem the growing rate of violence!----

but hear the Nairaland bigots "no no, the government shouldn't do such, he should instead focus on electoral reforms and corruption". . . .seriously?

More annoying is the fact that many who bang away at their keyboards are quite far away from Nigeria, so they wouldn't in any way know of the sorry state of the oil producing region.

If Jonathan spends time fighting corruption etc, what assurance do we have that the next president is ever going to improve on where he stopped?

Isn't corruption itself engraved in the minds of most individuals? young and old?

Ever asked a school kid what he wants to be in the future only to get the funny answer "i want to be a rich man" but he/she dosen't know how?

How then, pray tell, can the government fight corruption in the space of 1 year, when the people continue wallowing in slums?

Wouldn't you rather the little $$$ the country has left in her reserves be channeled towards infrastructural development before some pot bellied politician comes along to cart it away in ghana-must-go bags?

This is a good idea,but not at the moment?Damn floating cities is not built on ballons they require billion of $$$,
If a private financer would be brought then good and fine but not at a moment of no power,no light,no schools,no roads,no security such things
Now,provide light,security,provide jobs,fight corruption.THEN,foreign investors may be invited and they will be glad to do so,not using Nigerias money cause the one is dubai requires money huge one but they were in a debt of $80billion,yestreday a dea was reached in "principle" to "manage" $25 bilion of the debt,
This is not damn too expensive but provise the enabling environment for investors both foreign and local to do this or showcase the idea to them

CyberG:
Jonathan Goodluck will be a BIG BIG failure and disappointment to Nigeria and Nigerians the way he is going! But, I seriously hope and wish he disappoints me by being a success instead!! Why??

Yes, it is good to conceive ambitious projects but how, when and what resources will he use to prosecute these project? Who really will undertake the project? The already over-leveraged Federal government, the overly-corrupt State government or the private sector? Look, what you (Jonathan) should be doing now and should have done is VERY simple:

1. Immediately send to the National Assembly the full, un-compromised Uwais Panel report. If this is already sent, lobby and apply necessary pressure to have it passed immediately.

2. (1) above will help to set in motion the appointment of a creditable INEC chairman.

3. The EFCC needs to be made very strong and totally independent of any other person or body. Do this and re-invigorate the body to wage a strong anti-corruption campaign.

4. Fix or attempt to begin quickly the power sector

5. Sack and appoint credible people as the comptroller of customs, UBEC, NCC, institute stronger banking regulations, etc; and totally monitor all the contracts that have already been awarded.

These will have a more serious and positive effect without spending BIG in the next one year before the next elections. Which of these is not important?

Yeah Exactly,i thought at first he can turn our fortunes but at the rate things are going God Help Nigeria
the UAE building wonder dubai-remember dubai world were in a debt of $80 billion dollars
DOnt do that let EFCC catch state governors of the N/Delta recover part of the money and develop N/delta + these governors shouldnt loot anymore and use the money to develop the region.

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan is set to change the face of the Niger Delta with the construction of floating cities in the oil-rich region.

According to sources at the Presidency, the cities are being designed to uplift the area and its people.

Said the source: “The President is determined to provide basic amenities of life, jobs, education, security, state of the art transportation, and recreation centres, as well as potable water.

“This plan would consolidate on the late President Umaru Yar’Adua’s on-going rehabilitation of the people of Niger Delta. It will bring lasting peace and eradicate the restiveness observed before the amnesty granted to former militants in the region.

“These floating cities will definitely attract tourism to the Niger Delta region, since they would be of the same standard as those built in the UAE, which is one of the wonders of the world. They will be equipped with modern power generation unit, to be powered with wind and solar systems.”

While speaking on some obstacles, which the project may face, the source said: “There will be some problems in the implementation, because of the activities of politicians, who are using their positions to enslave the people. But where there is a will, there’s always a way.”

Good project but um where will the money come from?

The Airforce is Improving
See that helicopter that Dropped Air troops -that was cool and also taking up their position + not using Ak-47s
These planes are flyable plus if in need of maintenance we have companies like Augusta,Aliena,those that did MI-35 e.t.c -the companies all have a maintenance hangar working with the airforce-thats good incase repairs or maintenance needs to be done and since the foreign engineers from the OEM(original equipment manufacturer) the airmen will know everything about the plane(actually a revision they know all since they were trained overseas)

This very cool and oh i just remember 5 new Super Pumas helicopters are waiting to come remember FEC awarded the contract together with a navy off shore patrol vessel(OPV)
when they come the airforce will have many flyable planes
Kudos but more planes needs to be bought
They government should buy F-18s 12 of them plus 12 Su-37 -so that we shall be feared even by strong countries so this chinesese fighter would be relagated to an "interceptor" it is called airguard so best it should do so like the pakistanis,chinesse are doing
Air force are improving this is a FACT

[quote author=spikedcylinder link=topic=448420.msg6064354#msg6064354 date=1274343954][/quote]U MISSED the point too,he was trying to say that the plane she used to go to dubai,not the one she came into Lagos with from Abuja ofcourse.
And patience,i hope you took 16GB memory with a 14 HD megapixel that can shot 720P video so after snapping and video-ing the MansionS jonathan would choose the one he likes,
OR then what did she do in Dubai?
You see this Fxckin woman looted $13.5 million + N104 millionwe should we trust her and that as a govenors wife and now as a presidents wife NKO?
You see fxck this woman,if Turai travels she always does on official or religious as she went to Umrah with her husband,
