Phones / Re: ***Tecno Official Discussion Thread*** by aadvark: 5:40pm On Aug 24, 2022
Please, is tecno pova 3 in Nigeria yet?

I'm really tempted by the big battery (7000mAH) and screen size (6.9"wink as well as ram (6Gb) and rom (128Gb).
However, in worried it doesn't have 5G as I like to use phones for at least 3 years before changing. The pova 5G on the other hand is too expensive and has a lower 6000mah battery.

I'm really confused.

Most of the channels have been optimised to conserve data, excluding the premium channels.
Why leave out sports channels which will sell the app? sports channels have to have data quality change options to attract people. I may not be too tech savvy but I don't think it's something impossible to do

These are the channels on premium, football channels are available and it's ads free
You have a very good app Elvis, but you have not fully adapted it to your audience. I tried it out today and contrary to your earlier suggestion, there is nowhere I can change streaming quality. I like the default streaming quality for NTA though. Wish you could implement these suggestions especially for the premium channels. I wanted to subscribe but the absence of data quality tweaking threw me off. How can I contact you personally?
Phones / Re: Watch Live TV Channels On Your Mobile Phone, With Streaming Quality Options by aadvark: 3:48pm On Mar 28, 2022
@Elvis8236

It will help if you make a list of the channels that are on premium as well as the subscription cost.

Most people, including me, are interested in apps like yours because of live football matches. I hope you know that making some channels subscription-based means you have to make the app advert-free. Also, your subscription should be very affordable and streaming quality options should be available for all sports channels. I'm assuming you listed the sports channels on premium

Is Junior Ajayi a true out and out striker? If that's the case then he's likely to displace Ighalo if he performs. I have never been a big Ighalo fan but I foresee him going to Russia as he's the only true striker in the team. But if Ajayi plays more as a SS, then he's likely to replace Ahmed Musa. No sentiments!


O pari

I doubt he can offer what Ighalo does - stability upfront. He's our own Benzema. But let's watch Ajayi first

not sure what people see in this una tammy self that warrants an invite to the national team..na because he is 'obodo oyibo' trained and brought up and plays in premiership?i dont see anything fantastic about him..same thing jordan ibe..and this is not because they rejected nigeria..i never really saw anything in them.
I said it too, back when the Tammy craze was on. I said I'd rather have Dessers, but only Safarigirl agreed with me I think

Ohhh you welcome Sir. And yes... I am with you on the midfield being six. I just feel with those six forwards, our midfield will definitely boast six names. Time will tell shaa. Good to have Ajayi around but I really don't think he will make the train except injuries come in and I really hope not because I want our very best om display in Russia.


I agree with you

No sentiments. Rohr would drop whoever is not giving enough. But that’s a big IF.

I PERSONALLY don't see Ajayi breaking into the world cup list no matter what he does at the friendlies. Trust me, Ighalo doesn't score often but he makes it easier for others. And u know the SE, anybody can score

TheSuperNerd:
Loooolll.... hollup there Sir... it is not goals, goals and goals ooooo.... hahahahahahahahaha...


It is goals and assists...... 8 goals and 9 assists in 23 games for Al Ahly. Cool stats shaa...


Let me help you with your question... Ajayi will not replace any of Ighalo, Iheanacho, Iwobi, VicMoses, S.Moses and A.Musa... you see these six names I just reeled out... they are all Russia-bound. Take it or leave it. But me I know. And time will vindicate this under the condition that they all stay fit and have no injuries to knock them out of the WC.

If Rohr will take Ajayi to the WC ehn... it won't be at the expense of those six guys upfront. It would be at the expense of a midfielder. Meaning Rohr will have to take Five midfielders and Seven Forwards to the mundial if Ajayi must be on the plane if he pulls off near earth-shaking performances in the friendlies.

And I see that as something that may not happen because The players ahead of Ajayi ehn... will make Rohr start him from the bench and Ajayi is not high in quality compared to those six guys upfront. #Fact But he is a consistent performer for Al Ahly and uses his physical attributes to good effects.

In all time will tell.... but don't get your hopes up much on Ajayi. Let him be the one to make us go Wow!!! because I too have watched him play recently and honestly, he will have to do much more to make a strong case to be on that final plane to Russia.



Thank you for the correction on his stats. Didn't look it up before typing. Based my write up on his description on this thread.

I personally don't want the midfield slots reduced to 5, that's just looking for trouble. And I don't think we'll need a new forward for the world cup, maybe post world cup. Ajayi should wait, we have AFCON qualifiers coming up

The fall will come from the Midfield if Junior Ajayi does something impressive that can't bé overlooked. The Midfield is currently filled with solid 6 players which can only bé reduced if Ajayi performs. Non of the forwards you mentioned will be dropped.
I'm not in support of dropping any of the six midfielders that will be picked. Having five mid fielders is simply courting trouble

Ajayi does not have goals, goals and goals.. 8 goals in almost 30 games for a big side

He is not that prolific..

Truthfully, i do not see him making the team. Good experience though
Well, I didn't exactly look up his record while typing. I just wrote based on how he is described on this thread
Sports / Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by aadvark: 1:14pm On Mar 07, 2018
The long awaited friendly list is out, Junior Ajayi of Egypt's Al Ahly gets invite, but what do we expect? What exactly does Ajayi bring to the Eagles front line?
His record in his club says its goals, goals and goals.

Ajayi has proven to be very prolific for his club this season, practically tearing through teams. His proficiency in front of goal will be of value to the Eagles as they hope for a strong outing at the world cup.

But as I type this, one question nags my mind. If he performs well in the friendlies, as I have a hunch he will, who will be dropped from the Eagles attack to accommodate him? The eagles attack is one position that is star studded, with names like Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, Simon Moses, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa and Odion Ighalo. So who will take the fall?

It's easy to point to Odion Ighalo, whose goal return has not been very impressive for the Eagles. Ajayi on the other hand knows how to put the ball in the net. But for a second, let's put on our analytical glasses.

The eagles usually play a 4-3-3formation with one top striker who is expected to not just score goals but also offer good hold up play. This Odion Ighalo does excellently, as we saw in the double header with Cameroon in the WC qualifiers. He can also drift to either wing and take on a man successfully, offering the sort of service that Real Madrid's Benzema does to his team. So even tho he doesn't score much, he is some sort of foil for the team, as his service makes it easy for various players to pop up with the goals.

Now can Ajayi offer that apart from the goals? The truth is that, if he provides decent enough hold up play in addition to goals, then I will be very sorry for Ighalo.

But hey, the friendlies are here, the stage is set, and a good performance from the Egypt-based goal machine might just worsen Rohr's headache. I for my part shall be on hand to hand him some Emzor paracetamol, lol.

me that my father is Abia, my mother is Delta, I was born in Lagos, raised partly in Lagos and partly in Abuja. I have only been to Abia once, 16 years ago, but I visit Delta more.....where will I claim?

In most African nations, anywhere your father is from, that is where you are from....any other English wey you wan talk, na you sabi grin


At least, you will have an understanding of how those foreign born players feel. Such an occurrence is not limited to FBs, there are many Nigerians having identity crisis because of all these migration stuff.

Lucky for me, I have never picked anything from Lagos or Abuja and there are just as many Igbo people in these places, unlike somewhere like Kogi.....I might not be deep into my Igbo heritage, but I still feel a kindred spirit with any Igbo person, plus, I don't see much difference between Igbos and Niger Deltans,maybe because of my roots.
Wow! Yours is one confusing soup of cultures. Fortunately for you, you only absorbed the Igbo part.

Well, my state of origin says Kogi, but don't get me wrong, I feel Igbo as well. At least I speak the one I learned from my parents. It doesn't help at all that they speak two completely different Enugu dialects. So for me, its a smattering of this, and a smattering of that, augmented with some central Igbo. So there's really no particular Igbo dialect I'm good at. Will still have to explore the Igbo part of me later


Mehn, these FB's dey try sha. Just imagine somebody like Balogun, racially abused by Germans and referred to as Oyibo in Naija

Yea, you're very correct, that's Nigeria for you. I'm not fully accepted by the people as a Kogite. I'm still seen as 'oma-igbo', with the prejudice and discrimination that accompanies it.
Not fully grounded on the Igbo side either, since I'm not too fluent. But I have come to terms with my predicament, must live like a bat, torn between cultures.

Omaye calm down now. We've been having this discussion now for days with some of us sticking out for Uzoho until we saw those clips. You are free to be disappointed in those doubting Uzoho, just as any person who watched those clips is free to doubt him. Doubting him is the natural response from watching those clips. Nothing strange. Everyone's concern, fear, doubt or hope is legitimate in the circumstances we find our selves as per this goalkeeping issue. Those who believe in Uzoho are strong, those who don't are not weak. It's just a matter of perspective and what we desire in a goalie. Icon4s is a firm believer in experience as a criteria for choosing a goalie. He was ready to bend a little but that clip has made him tighten his grip on his beliefs. His reaction to the clip made me laugh. But look deeper and you'd see that that wasn't mere criticism, it's coming out of deep concern. It's the depth of his concern that made me laugh. Safarigirl on the other hand took everything in her stride. Normal, Bro.

perhaps you should encourage the house by dousing our fears.
