Politics / Re: Aba Is Gradually Wearing A New Look Under Alex Otti by onyidon21: 7:33am On Aug 04, 2023 |
One thing I noticed in all the roads being constructed under Alex in Aba is that no demolition is being made. This was made possible because Aba is well-planned. This cannot be said for Nnewi and Onitsha which are not well-planned, especially Nnewi. I've always known that transforming Aba into a more modern city is not a difficult thing to do. All that it required was just a decent governor who genuinely has the will to do it. I don't know under whose administration Aba was planned, but one thing I know is that the person did an excellent job in planning the city. 6 Likes

Education / Re: Is It Right To Start All Over Again From 100 Level After Wasting 5 Years? by onyidon21: 8:43am On Jul 13, 2019 |
Pascalville: Brother lemme tell you my story..I am currently a student of university of lagos.. this is my 7th year in the university.. next year will be my last. I got admission into unilag in 2012/2013 into computer engineering.. not that i was unserious but everything there seem different to me.. exactly not what I expected for a computer engineering course because it was merge with electrical engineering. In Unilag, Electrical engineering and computer engineering are one.. the one housing both is electrical engineering.. so we did more of electrical engineering's courses than computer engineering.. we hardly program.. they make us program on a shît of paper just imagine.. so this affected the computer engineering students... most of us made a very difficult decision by transferring out of the dept and faculty to a new dept and faculty called Actuarial Science under the faculty of business administration.. some transferred early like immediately after year 2 cos that wen you re opened to transfer from engineering with a minimum gpa of 2.0...mine wasnt up to that.. i was on a 1.89 gpa but i really wanted to move.. my parents didnt knw my intentions.. so the more i tried in engineering the more i hd F's ... my mama did everything to make me have interest even by buying me a core i7 laptop in 2014 but i lost interest.. I thought of suicide bro.. so one exam.. things got rough and patchy and i was almost disciplined by the school senate.. I summoned courage and explain to them to give me one last chance thats how i wasn't penalized but i told myself i cant keep on going like this.. that i must leave.. fast forward to 2017 i was in level 500 with 1.3 gpa by then most of my computer engineering mates have transferred out and i wasnt still allowed to leave due to low gpa.. i tried in year 4 my 10000 naira wasted.. then i payed 10k and tried again.. my mentor and uncle a professor had to see it through pleading by risking his neck on my behalf that i would succeed there .. not every proff will do that knowing i was an F student.. mind you not that the students that all transferred were dumb and unintelligent .. some of them started engineering with 4 point gpa and above but couldn't keep up so they left.. i was still there till 500 level thinking that if i leave what we people say.. what will my parents say.. but fûck what everyone thought.. i left wen my mate graduated thats it and that is.. on my sixth year.. i left to Actuarial science in 2018. I was really scared cos i did not knw what i am going to face there.. for a course in faculty of business admin what do i know.. cos i am a science student from secondary school.. so do i knw my accounting.. na.. do i know my finance or insurance courses.. nah i dont think so.. cos every course i wrote in engineering whenever the result is out i dont bother checking cos i knw i would have F.. and it always happens till i left engineering.. so i had a total of 21 carryover wen i was leaving engineering.. but wen u transfer out to a new department .. unilag will reset ur gpa to 0.. you will start from year 2 for a 4 years Actuarial science course.. sounds cool right but to me that year 2 in actuarial science is my year 6 in unilag.. year 3 is my year 7 and year 4 is my year 8 totally.. so i went there and promise my self i must see changes.. i got with good influences.. i mean good friends who motivated me.. borrowed some textbook and hey.. i developed a reading habit.. immediately after every lectures i go and read.. me that knws nothing in commercial course I changed my grade from F's to A's and B's.. and actuarial science has the same weight as computer engineering.. it is the only mathematical course in the whole of business administration.. we deal with insurance covers.. we can predict when you will die.. or the year interval of when a machine will fail.. google about the course and see.. Actuarist re scarce in Nigeria. Only 2 universities is taking the course in Nigeria and unilag is one.. the course pays well.. funny enough we differentiate and integrate and do every mathematical things just like in engineering.. the probability and statistics is deep and crazy but i see it as chilling.. my mama is so proud of me now that i am doing well.. i see some of my mates on facebook(exactly what made me stop using social media) some are working already.. some are doing masters.. but i am still in year 3.. ogbeni, everyman for himself.. just run ur own race jeje.. it is not how fast but how well..let ur past motivate you.. cos if you are happy with urself that is wen you can do well in this 100level you wanna try..i thought of ways to kill myself but hey here i am still standing.. dont be a coward.. face ur problems like i am doing mine.. my mates come to me to teach them now.. hardly do they knw i was an F student before.. i turned my F's to A and B and C.. you can do better.. next year is my finals and i aint gonna joke with it.. i must be out next year.. thats all. I hope my story can motivate you..everyone is going through hell.. the thing that matters is how well you can handle ur hell . Your story though sounds very funny but it really is a good motivational tool to many folks out there including my self.

Last year, the US banned her companies from supplying micro chips to China to prevent them from using it on their work in progress super computer. In retaliation, China invested heavily on building micro chips and just recently they launched the world's fastest Super computer without us micro chips. Trump must have been informed of the impending consequences of his actions. Nevertheless, Lifting the ban now is already too late because it won't stop China from developing their own os.

Phones / Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by onyidon21: 4:03pm On Jun 12, 2019 |
I don't know whether I am the only one having these thoughts here. It's just about the US vs China trade war and how it affects the smartphone market particularly the Xiaomi fans. I think this trade war will culminate to a point where Xiaomi will be forced to stop giving us android phones. It's no longer a news that the Chinese tech giant Huawei (which is the world's second largest smart phone producer) has been blacklisted by the US, and as a result US companies such as Google were forced to stop doing businesses with Huawei. Given this fact, the Chinese government recently threatened to retaliate by blacklisting every foreign company that ended transactions with any Chinese company for non business reasons. In other words, China is about to ban US companies, mostly phone makers from doing businesses with Google. Also, considering the fact that Xiaomi and Oppo were reportedly testing the new Huawei os that is about to be released soon, I think xiaomi and other Chinese smartphone producers are bracing up for life after Google. This is just my opinion though |

Aidejay:
You raised valid points But consider this 1. America is a capitalist state. Infact they are the definition of capitalism. It will be impossible for the government to enforce a law where no major app developer can host their apps on OAK This will be considered an overstep of government function 2. Considering the fact that A majority of apps that are American are not hosted on American devices so if the rest that is lenovo, xaomin and the host of Chinese/asian tech adopt Huawei's OS Google will have to ban it's services from the whole of Africa, Asia and Europe where these smart phone companies hold a very large majority of the market 3. I am sure independent developers i.e paypal will rather authorize a PayPal OAK than to be blacklisted by every other smartphone maker except samsung, iphone and maybe infinix 4. Huawei OS adopters are the reason America is the largest and most powerful tech company if u ban them u ruin Qualcomm and snapdragons and every other smartphone parts and chips makes business in the USA. Infact it's an impossible circumstance 5. The US will not vomit that kind of money just to destroy Huawei. Infact money for ordinary wall Dem no gree It will need a congressional hearing and voting before such amount is hard pressed then. Not to consider how they will recoup their profit because considering inflation and deflation, taxes and other monetary objectives nobody will want to owe the US government money especially with Trump as president 6. African countries might not take sides but African consumers will especially when they see a cheap Huawei device with all the mad specs vs Google (which will be loosing money, interest and advantage) 7. If it was so easy to not buy Chinese and make yours jobs won't be leaving America for cheap labour and less taxes in Mexico and Canada nor will huge multinational corporation have their manufacturing bases outside the US not will Apple need to make their smartphones in China nor will Trump need to engage in a trade war with China. 8. Aptiode is still a child but guess what children grow. Imagine aptiode being the second largest app store in the world if not the first considering how many phone makers will adopt OAK 9. Brother blacklisting sites is virtually impossible we are talking about the internet the WORLD WIDE WEB
I can't go on and on but I can say this at least nobody wants to be bullied and America is a popular bully even Huawei's CEO ahbi some one said it (that the us is bullying Huawei) The threat of being bullied is enough for non American phone makers to bond with Huawei to reduce Americas influence over the smartphone market that is
About 5 trillion dollars in investment This is what u call a stock market crash of the ages the largest Honestly Microsoft and Apple wont want to suffer for Google so I don't see them jumping behind Trump and alphabet Tim cook even hates Trump seff

My Quote of the year. America doesn't represent the world, Brother. I will never forget that quote from Huawei's CEO. The current generation of Americans are no longer the smartest. The Chinese are smarter. What the US does is to bully smaller and weaker countries. The US single handedly turned some countries such as Lybia, Iraq, Philippines etc to failed states. All the accusations meted to Huawei and Chinese companies today were also meted to Japanese companies such as Toyota, Honda Toshiba etc in the 70's and 60's.

Well said. But that may not come to reality for two reasons. Firstly, Samsung seems to be benefitting most from the current predicaments of Huawei.

as for umidigi I can not rate them until they step up their game. their flagship phone can't be compared to Xiaomi note7 . they have worse camera ever, phone heats, charger burns after few weeks, not talk more of the useless old outed processors they use. the truth is the processors they use on their phones are not meant to be sold above $100.

. So many things are wrong with your assertions bro. Firstly, you said have not used a xiaomi phone but you have concluded that you can't compare it with apple. Secondly, you asserted that xiaomi copied apple but you failed to educate us in the aspect xiaomi did that. Probably you have read about the China versus US trade war and the current attempt to blackmai Huawei by the US government, and the reasons given by the US for that hence your assertion. Let educate you that what you call copying is normal in the technology industry and everyone does that including Apple. Huawei was rated the most innovative smartphone brand of 2019 and some people who no nothing about the smartphone industry still believe that Chinese brands copy Apple. You made another error by saying that the western world use only Samsung and Apple, but let me remind you that the westerners also Huawei, xiaomi and other Chinese brands. Xiaomi currently has official presence in three European countries including France and Spain. The company is yet have an official presence in the US but Americans buy xiaomi products online. Also, your assertion that IPhone and Samsung are the most widely used phones in the world is a blatant lie. Currently in terms of global sales, Samsung has the biggest market share followed close by Huawei before apple. You also asserted that IPhone beats Samsung phones, and I began to wonder whether you even make a research before commenting. Currently apple's flagship xs max is not eve in the top 6 of the biggest smartphone phone of 2019. The likes of Samsung s10, s9, Huawei p30 pro, huwei mate20 pro, Google pixel 3 are all above apple's xs max.. If you decide to compare them in terms of camera, the likes of Google pixel 3 Samsung s10 and Huawei p30 pro and even mate20 pro are all better than xs max. In speed and ram management,After seeing a series of YouTube videos, I discovered that the s10 beats the xs max hands down. Even in body build. So in what aspect is iPhone better than tge Samsung and other brands? Perhaps you are the type that compare a brand's flagship with another's midrange. Lastly, let remind you that that xiaomi has a huge presence in China and it is a major competitor to Huawei, Samsung and Apple there. 34 Likes 4 Shares |

We are talking about Huawei and its 5G network here.Whether China makes fake products or not has nothing to do with the bone of contention here . The issue on board as stated by the article is that the US placed a lot of allegations on Huawei as a result of their launching of the 5G network. The US are actually getting it wrong this time around because,their attempt to get some of their allies to boycott Huawei is proving abortive. They started by alleging that the Huawei's 5G came with spy wares which will provide security information of any country it's located to the Chinese government. But some countries like Italy and the UK after carrying out their investigations have come out to say that they didn't find such wares in the tech. |
