RomanceRe: Why Having Male Besties Will Affect Your Relationship Negatively by Xtracoool(m): 9:48pm On Apr 28, 2016
naijaboiy:
[color=#1980BC]Nice thread. Well as a guy I wouldn't give room for my girlfriend to have any bestie of any sort.

First of all I would try my best to be everything the so called bestie would want to be. I would be her shoulder to cry on and at the same time the dick to ride on.

Nevertheless I would still watch out for those stubborn guys who are always relentless in being a girl's bestie by all means. I'll warn her about them and make sure she knows my stand. The problem is that these girls never hear. They will keep telling you that they can control it and that nothing will happen. Don't believe that shït because these girls are as weak as anything weak when it comes to emotions.

Be the bestie she never had and if she still misbehaves to be keeping male besties outside then you may have to walk away since she's not ready.

As for the female bestie for girls, that one can be handled.[/color]

GOATandYAMtheory:
The APC boss continued: “People don’t seem to internalize what change is. If the President says “court, free that man”, the same president can say ‘court, imprison that man.’ Is that the Nigeria you want? No! Change means allowing the law to take the proper course. I can tell you the President won’t interfere. The President is straight definite, straight and firm in all facets.”

"You must not eat anything that crawls on its belly or anything that walks on all fours or on any number of legs of all the swarming things that swarm on the land, because they are detestable" Leviticus 11:42

People can only falsely hide under the pretext that Jesus came and changed everything, which is a lie because:

"The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever" Isaiah 40:8

PoliticsRe: The Economist-How To Make A Hard Currency Crisis Worse By Buhari by Xtracoool(m):
So in summary:
Central bank regulating exchange rate breeds corruption, and is causing inflation and shrinking growth

Central bank not regulating exchange rate will truly reflect that Nigeria has become poorer.

I am no economist, neither do I know the purpose of this article, but it seem to only remind us that we are going through tough times. Otherwise, it says nothing new.

Exchange rate regulation or not: There has always been corruption. Inflation is increasing and growth is shrinking. We know Nigeria has gotten poorer.

The CBN believes it is acting in the best interest of Nigeria and Nigerians, same can't be said of the folks from the West.

frank043:
I'm sorry bro, but you are wrong. Even a warrant officer doesn't wear pip, only a commissioned officer does. Now, a private is a rank, but it's the least rank in the Non-Commissioned Officer cadre, and equally the least in the entire army. When they are on training, they are recruits, immediately they passout, they become privates and ascend in that order.
Yea u r right. Typed that with sleepy eyes. My bad. I absolutely understand what I wanted to say, but ended up typing the incorrect. Now I am too lazy to edit. embarassed

Pls which one is private soldier.
A private is a soldier without a rank. Then don't wear any pip (that thing on the shoulder of their uniform, where the rank is indicated)
CareerRe: The Nigerian Army Salary Structure: How Much Is A Nigerian Soldier Paid? by Xtracoool(m):
OP their salary may be stipends considering the authority they wield as the rank goes higher. But these people, especially the officers, make way way more than that when you include proceeds from sharp practises and corruption.

As off topic : Their men become cursed with an obsession for women the moment they take the oath of allegiance, or whatever they call it.

You have quality education there
There they would be igbonized properly
I hope you communicate with them in igbo, and not hoping that they will learn the language when you finally send them to anambra.

The Igbo Language needs to be revived among the young ones today.
ComputersRe: Guides For Buying New Laptops For Beginners by Xtracoool(m): 10:00pm On Jan 28, 2016
mokoshalb:
This Post is Exclusive from Mokoshalb Global Pimpz www.mokoshalb.com
Laptops are getting more powerful and thinner each day thanks to the ultrabook design features and new processors by Intel. Often people search for best laptops within their price range and they all they get is sponsored laptop recommendations. These paid reviews often glorify overpriced Apple Macbooks and does not do justice to other brands out there, e.g. Lenovo, Dell and Asus. But I am not going to debate which laptop is best or recommended for purchase in year 2016. Instead, I will give you important tips and checklist for buying a good laptop that will immensely help you with your Laptop purchase.

Guide and Tips for Buying a New Workstation Laptop:
1. Processor Architecture

The currently used high performance Processor microarchitecture by Intel is Broadwell series. Also, new architecture is coming early 2016 its called Skylake processors. Every new processor series promises improved GPU, CPU performance bundled with awesome battery life. So look for a laptop with newer CPU.
Intel Broadwell starts with 5xxx on processor model no.
Intel Skylake series starts with 6xxx
2. Battery Life

After the performance, the next is battery life. A decent laptop must have at least 2+ hours of battery life on a full charge. If it fails to deliver such usage time on battery, it’s time to skip that laptop.

3. Keyboard, Mouse and Webcam

Placement of input devices is very crucial. Make sure of the following:
Keyboards’ keys are properly placed, there has to be a little distance between them.
The touchpad should be in the middle and should not interfere when you’re typing.
Webcam must be placed in center, if its on the left-right, you’ll have a hard time adjusting with it.
4. Long Charger Cable

Pretty much self explanatory. Power brick must have long cable so you don’t have to stay near power socket all the time just to charge your laptop.

5. Avoid Graphic Card Unless Required

Graphic cards (GPU) are very power hungry and they can put a negative impact on the battery life or your machine. Also, the video card performance reduces as your laptop ages. It is best to avoid GPU unless you have real use for it (e.g. gaming, video editing). Intel is doing a great job with the new processors, the Broadwell, Skylake series CPU’s already have good dedicated graphics (Iris Pro) processors built-in.

6. Heating Issues

It’s best not to overlook heat factor. Overheating can cause laptop to malfunction, it can also reduce its life. If the laptop gets heat up even on low usage, avoid it at all cost because it can cause permanent burns on your Lap.

7. Build Quality

It is the very important thing to look for. Build quality has to be sturdy, check the overall laptop and examine its build quality, also check the LCD/LED hinges durability. If the laptop is made of cheap plastic/material, chances are it won’t survive in long run.

8. Good number of USB ports

I have this laptop with just 2 usb slots which is a pain. I have to use USB extension to connect additional devices. So make sure you get laptop with at least 3 to 4 usb ports.

9. Built-in Operating System

Windows 10 is now a default standard for all coming Laptops. It means drivers and software utilities will be that operating system. But what if you want to run a program that only runs on Windows 7 or 8.1? Always check backward driver and OS compatibility on manufacturer’s website.

10. Headphone and Mic Jack

Many laptops these days come with single dual-purpose 3.5mm audio jack that supports both Headphone/Mic input. I would suggest you to avoid it and get a machine with separate for Mic and Headphone slot.

11. Avoid Touchscreen (Hybrids)

The idea of touchscreen looks really appealing on a Laptop but trust me it isn’t. You might use your laptop touchscreen for a few days and then never use it again. Laptops are not Tablet replacement, they are heavy, they heat up pretty quickly on your lap. Not to mention the rotatable screen is fragile and can be easily broken.

12. Expensive is not always better.
This is not a case when buying a notebook. Many laptop manufacturers add premium price, addons such as extended warranty, software bundles which you’re not going to ever use. Avoid that.

13. Screen size

The screen size should be big enough at least 15 inches. Because looking at small screen for long hours can affect your eye sight and cause eye strain.

14. SD Card reader.

It is great to a have a built-in SD card reader. You don’t have to connect your camera through a data cable. So keep an eye on it.

15. RAM and Storage

If you are planning to use your laptop for web browsing, movies and a little bit of Photoshop, 4 GB ram is enough. If you going use memory intensive applications such as CAD, get a RAM upgrade. For Hard drive, you can get 500 GB or 1 TB, it totally depends on you. If you want speedy storage, get Solid State Drive (SSD).

16. HDMI, Ethernet and other ports

Make sure the laptop you are going to buy has all support for all these ports. HDMI will let you connect your Laptop to your TV for watching movies and sharing media. Ethernet (LAN) is good for transferring huge files to router or media server.

17. WiFi and Bluetooth.

They are standard for every machine nowadays. But if you have a dual band gigabit router installed at your house then double check if your Laptop supports gigabit WiFi.

My thinking capacity has come to an end, let me know if I am missing something. Nowadays, it is very hard to buy a laptop that fits your needs. I hope my checklist helps you in your next Laptop purchase.

This thread should have been in the joke section. But to think that the Igbos are constantly mocked and ridiculed because of unguarded, meaningless, and unintelligent statements and notices given by the likes of Uwazurike makes it not funny.

WE THE IGBOS ARE SMARTER THAN THIS.

Uwazurike and Co should never be taken seriously again.
