FIVE THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU PURCHASE A NEW LAPTOP

The average individual doesn’t really care for the specification of a laptop before they purchase, they are mostly concerned about its beauty, portability, long lasting battery, internal DVD, sound speakers, wireless, Bluetooth, camera etc, the list is endless. And while all these are good features to look out for before you purchase a laptop, they are also some underneath features that ensures that only a little part in memory is used for the operations you carryout with your laptop system, thus this free up space and make the overall performance of your laptop faster.

          And while some may argue that they don’t carryout enormous or complicated tasks with their laptops that they are either viewing a movie, watching pictures, playing music, surfing the internet or typing a document and they don’t really see the need for a fast system. It is also quite notable to know that all these operations are carried out in memory and lower specification systems don’t carryout these operations at a reasonable pace for the satisfaction of the users. Here is a notorious example if you have a laptop with big screen for nice and easy viewing of movies, and if the same laptop has a battery life of 5 hours and above, you might still encounter issues like hanging or cracking (jitters) when watching movies with your system. Another example is that you might discover it takes too much time to even download a file from the Internet, all these are caused by inadequate space in memory for processing of the bits of information received by the system and this will surely reduce the pleasure, utility and satisfaction of any user.

          Now, these are five things you should consider before purchasing a new laptop if you require maximum satisfaction.

Ø Brand Name

This is one of the easiest ways of detecting quality in any product and laptops are no different. Brands are known to adhere to a particular level of quality and always deliver at that level. Little wonder consumers have to pay a premium (a little extra charge above normal prices) in order to buy products of popular brands. They do these because of the quality, safety, warranty and assurance such brands inculcate with usage of their products.

          While some brands like Samsung, Acer and Toshiba are currently making strides in the laptop industry, they are not particularly refereed to as top notch brand names. The dominant brand names in the laptop industry remain Apple, Hewlett Packard (HP) and DELL.

So for majority of the time, buying from a top notch brand guarantees quality and longevity of products.

Ø Processor Performance

Add caption

Brand name on its own doesn’t single handily gives you the computer system you so desire, this is because brands also make products with lower specifications to encourage people with lower incomes to still own laptops. So after selecting a brand name, the next concern for the individual is to find out the type of the processor contained in the laptop. Luckily this information is written on a sticker tag in front or at the back of the carton of the laptop.

Based on its functionality, a processor is hardware in form of a chip that resides on your system unit in the laptop, often times the processor is referred to as the heart of the computer this is because off the core role it plays in the computer system. New models of laptops are now focused on integrating more than one processor into a single chip processor. You can get a single chip that contains 2, 3,5,7,9 or even 12 processors running parallel with each other to carryout operations on the computer systems. The more processors in your processor chip, the faster your computer system.

Some processors like AMD are particularly renowned for excellent performance with gaming and graphics, while core i3 is ideal for overall general performance. However, for overall best practices you need a top notch processor like core i5, core i7, and core i9 or core i12.

Ø RAM SIZE

 Random Access Memory (RAM) is another important chip in your computer system worth considering before you purchase a laptop. Rightly so because although your processor is referred to as the heart of your computer system, it still depends a lot of the services of the RAM to make sure operations are carried out effectively and efficiently. Any task (performing calculations, watching movies or pictures, browsing, typing a document) you do on the computer system is first loaded on the RAM, which in turns sends the bit of information to the processor which execute the task and returns the processed information back to the RAM which holds this information so the user can see. So imagine you carrying out simultaneous tasks on a system with low RAM size, such will cause an overall low performance and reduce users utility.

So the bigger your RAM size, the faster your system. RAM sizes of 3Gigabytes or 4Gigabytes is moderate for general performance. However for best practices, you should consider an 8Gigabyte or 16Gigabyte or even 32Gigabyte of RAM size.

Ø Hard Disk Drive Capacity (HDD)

This is a secondary memory in your computer system and is the cheapest type of memory in the computer system, by secondary memory it means that the HDD doesn’t directly decide how fast operations are carried out in your computer system. However this doesn’t make it unimportant, this is because a bigger sized HDD would help you store large sizes of files (videos, music, pictures, documents, downloads) on your system without slowing down the operations of your system. Clearly having a system with bigger sized HDD will surely save you expenses of buying complementary external memory like external HDD, flash, memory card etc.

The moderate sizes of Hard Disk Drives that come with systems are 250Gigabytes or 500Gigabytes while top notch sizes for best practices are 1Terabyte, 2Terabyte and 5Terabyte.

Ø Universal Serial Bus Ports (USB)

These are the medium through which you can connect other accessories and devices to either interact with your computer system or to charge them. This component of the computer is most time overlooked by individuals but it is still important and integral to users having maximum satisfaction with their computer systems. The USB ports still remains a faster means of transferring files to external devices when compared to new trending Mr Bluetooth. A laptop with only 2 USB ports will surely hamper a user from connecting several accessories(external disk drive, camera, phone, flash, mouse) and thus such is not optimal. While 3USB or 4USB ports in a system is moderate, a system with 5 0r 6 USB ports is highly recommended for ideal optimization of the computer system potential.

After digesting the content of this write up, prospective laptop buyers can now go into the market to purchase laptops better informed. They can now place an order in the following format.

Please I need a HP – core i5 processor – 4GB RAM size – 500Gigabyte HDD and 4 USB ports system.

Another individual might order this way: I need a DELL – core i7 processor – 8GB RAM size – 1Terabyte HDD – 6 USB ports system.

SEVEN REASONS WHY YOUR CHILDREN SHOULD NOT ATTEND SAME SEX SCHOOLS (SSS)

It is the dream of every parent to see their children excel in their daily endeavours and career at large. Parents always want the best for their children and are very proud of their children that are on the right track in life, little wonder you will you see parents introduce their children to their friends in this manner “This is my first son his name is Donald, he studied medicine in the prestigious University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN). He is now a certified and competent Doctor. ” others introduce this way “This is my daughter Cynthia, she is a first class graduate of Accountancy, throughout her education she attended same sex schools and at the tertiary level she attended Convenant University I am so proud of her because during her schooling I made sure she kept herself intact as a woman. ”. 

Parents always want little or no distraction for their children while at school, so they see these same sex schools as a perfect “haven” for their children to attend to stay clear of the vagaries, corruption and social vices embodied in the society.

However these are seven reasons why the choice of same sex school would prove to be detrimental in the long run for your children:

1. It denies parents lack of complete control of their children

v            

Most of these same sex schools are boarding schools, so parents don’t get to see their children till its visiting week or most commonly at the end of the term.

At a same sex boarding school these children pick up habits easily from fellow students they feel are superior to them in one way or the other. Judging from the current day situation where emphasis in schools has shifted from how intelligent a students is to how fashionable, sleek, good looking, rich and sociable a person is, it can be easily seen that the habits students pick from each other most of the time are negative ones and in the absence of the parent figure to control and curb that on the daily, these habits slowly contribute to their attitudes and you see such children engaging in smoking, drinking, cultism.

2. It doesn’t capture the full picture of the society

Students who attended same sex schools for the majority of their schooling struggle when finally exposed to the society at large. Thus they tend to be reserved and clueless when the opposite sex is within range. They seems lost when the opposite sex behaves in certain ways because most of the females have been taught in same sex schools to avoid contact with males once they are outside the school vicinity, that such things may lead them into unwanted pregnancy hence bringing disgrace to their families.

So, when these girls encounter the society, they are always miles behind other children who attended conventional schools and learnt first hand on a daily basis how to interact, cooperate and get tasks done together with the opposite sex.

3. Lack of sexuality? Then we will create one within

Most same sex students at senior secondary level are well aware of the opposite sex and what they bring to the table in terms of sexuality all thanks to Mr Technology and his many concubines of social media like facebook, twitter, whatsapp, BBM, instagram and of course the web browser etc.

Although some students still remain naïve at senior secondary school level, the few spoilt ones introduce them to vices like pornography via videos, magazines and personal stories they encountered while at home. 

When their level of exposure to pornography becomes extreme, they get innovative and try out the practises on themselves.

4. They make the greatest mistakes

When these students advance in their schooling, they eventually find out that their parents basically put them in same sex schools to intentionally deny them exposure with the opposite sex.

So when they now attend conventional tertiary institution, they feel as if a chain has practically been broken in their lives, they are now strange to this new found freedom so they try to maximise the opportunity of the few months they have at school before returning home at semester closure.

Hence they act recklessly, they try to mix up and feel among with the crowd. They party to the extreme, gamble and do lots of silly things in the name of catching fun. The girls might get pregnant, some carryout abortion and some die in the abortion process. The boys become radicals and arrogant and they might take to vices like stealing, raping and cultism.

5. Social imbalance

This applies mostly to males, on the average male graduates from same sex schools finds it very difficult to approach a female and start up a conversation, be it in a church or any other social gathering. They even find it difficult to respond and keep conversation floating when approached by females.

It gets even worse when some of them find it difficult to express their selves in public or even make new friends males and females alike. They always avoid face to face contact when interacting with people.

6. They don’t make good life partners

Men that are end results of same sex schools are usually traditional and orthodox in their behaviours. They generally believe that there is an assigned place for their wives which is to prepare them food and produce babies, and to them they feel making money available to the wife should be enough for her worries. They never consider being romantic to their wives, listening more to her and spending quality time with her.

In contrast, they spend time with friends they have bonded very well with because they see this as a comfort zone.

7 They don’t make good fathers

Due to their traditional nature, men that graduated from same sex schools don’t usually accept the change that occurs in the society easily. So when their children start exhibiting tendencies like talking about the opposite sex, or other sensitive topics these men usually make the wrong decision by shutting the topic off instead of reasoning and enlightening the child so they don’t get the wrong information elsewhere.

Consequently the children tend to be more secretive and privy about events on going in their lives and this increases the chances of such children making numerous mistakes in lives and they learn life lessons the hard way.

So, parents send their children o same sex schools to get the best out of them and prevent them from mixing up and getting corrupt at an early age. However some of these kids pick up one or more of these vices which makes their modus operandi questionable.

96 Gay Contacts On My Phone – But I Am Not Gay

                                                                     

   Don’t find it hard to believe because in all sincerity, this is a true life story and I didn’t get it from anyone else, its my own personal life story which I experienced and mind you it has not ended yet so what I beg from all readers is a comment or perhaps an action which I should take.

          Please note that I have nothing against the gay folks even though this is the second article I am writing about them I believe being gay is just their sexuality and just a part of their life and not their entire personality. Moreover it was of recent that President Goodluck approved same sex marriage, so this seems like the right time to share this story with the entire public.

It started April 2013 and I must confess it was my mistake or my naïve action at the time that lead to this problem, but I am a man and I am man enough to admit my mistakes.

There was this guy in my facebook list, we had been friends for four years we have not seen for once and in an entire year we barely chat for more than one hour. But I was aware that this guy is a graduate of the university which I attend and at March I was looking for an Industrial Training place, so I contacted this guy if he had any connection for me and he said he would work on it. Consecutively this guy would call me up and ask me some questions about myself in the name that he was helping me fill out some company’s form and I would oblige him the information and it went on and on until one night by 11:30pm when he called me up on my phone, waking me up in my sleep only to ask me if I am Gay I was deeply angered that I roared a big NO at him and he simply cut the phone. 

When I woke up in the morning, I thought it was a dream, but when I cross checked my call log I saw that he truly called me and I was like saying to myself what kind of a firm asks an individual if he is gay? So from that day I started suspecting the guy.

And true to my suspicions, from the next day the guy started making serious advances towards me, and as at first I thought it was a joke. He would say all those raw words of theirs like how long is your *******, how long do you last and all sorts of discussions a naughty girl should ask a guy. He even went further to add me on 2go with my number and started sharing me some gay pictures of guys in the act, but I would always tell this guy that I am straight but he continued and so after some weeks of disturbances I had to remove him from my 2go and blocked him, but he was still a contact on facebook.

So on a fateful afternoon, just like every other afternoon I was on facebook and I saw his picture, it was zoomed majorly to his face level and a little of his chest was showing and I saw some comments by some of his friends and one of his friend asked why is your mouth like that and I foolishly went and commented also, what was not my concern o I went and left a comment and I said “how will his mouth not be like that after all the Gaylord focker activities he carries out with his mouth” those were my exact words. And I exited facebook, but shortly after an hour of my post the guy called me and was very livid with anger saying why did I make such a comment on his wall, that do I know how many people at his work has called him and was complaining? And he went on and on and I was like “get out, that’s good for you when you were pestering my life for weeks you did not know. moreover if you are Gay why are you hiding it? Why not tell the world?” and he said he has removed me from his facebook and he would deal with me.

And that was the beginning of my problems with Gays, for some reasons he assigned a Gay friend of his on facebook by name “Emeka Victor Obi” to start impersonating me and as at the time my facebook account was open and they collected much of my pictures especially where I was not putting on shirt or where I was wearing only singlet and he will post it on his wall saying if you want hot sex, call this number and he will put up my number there, he didn’t stop there he was so busy adding all my friends in the name of making them think I am Gay. But I was unaware of all this actions by the guy. It was not until I started getting some funny calls like “Emeka where are you? Emeka I love you, Emeka lets have ***, Emeka *** me, Emeka I want to *** you.” and I was like who is Emeka? Who is Emeka? It was not until some of my friends called me up and told me that a guy called “Emeka Victor Obi” is impersonating me as Gay on facebook. I quickly logged onto facebook and ran a search on his name and lo and behold my picture was his profile picx and he had my pictures all over his account, I was shocked I nearly burst out in tears but I held back, afterall I am a Man and it was I who caused this problem in the first place. So heeding to the advice of a friend I publicly announced on my facebook account about the Impersonator “Emeka Victor Obi” and that relieved most of my friends and majority of them removed him, but any of them that tries to make a comment on the Impersonator’s page stating that he is fake. The Emeka guy would quickly remove him or her. 

From April to May was not funny at all I usually receive not less than 15 calls from Gays asking me where am I or saying something raw. So I resolved in putting my phone on silent and not picking up calls that does not reflect a name on my phone’s contact, but the disturbance persisted and I had to call the Guy up, the one that assigned Emeka Victor Obi to impersonate me. You would notice that I am yet to mention his name, I know for certain that he is Gay and I also know now that he is secret of it and as such I wont repeat his name and risk restarting what happened in April 2013 to happen this year again.

And so I called him up and said I was sorry for my actions and that everyday in life everybody learns and that I have learned my lesson very well and very clear that he should please call the Emeka Victor Obi guy and have him take down my pictures from his account …. Guess what he said??..........................................

Dear Reader I have to stop here for now majorly for two reasons

1. I need to see readers reactions? if they need me to continue

2. The story is very cumbersome and honestly i cant type it all in a day.

But I promise to bring the concluding part of this real life story that is still ongoing within the week ………….. for the moment you can search Emeka Victor Obi on facebook and you would still see all of my picx there as the guy still impersonates me up to this day.

WHILE I WAS STILL A VIRGIN, A GAY PASTOR ASSAULTED ME

   

        

The day was 12^th January, 2014 and I was in church it was 6:15am mass and you know they are one or two things you hear people say and it matches a word in your database concerning activities that have happened in your life in time past.

          So I heard the priest say the word  “Brethen” and I was like fair enough a guy can call me brethren without me been suspicious of his motive, perhaps he can also call me “Beloved” but that would be the limit cos if a guy calls me “Dear” I definitely will conceive in my mind that he is gay.

          And this drifted my thoughts to the time while I was still 19 years old, a young handsome boy and at the time I was still a virgin. I was just a year out of secondary school and still searching for admission into a university, I was not in Lagos which is my base state, I was in the east Nigeria, Anambra state to be precise and I was in my village because I had in mind to obtain admission to Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka.

          The incident took place when I accustomed my grand mother to a distant farm of hers, being young and energetic I was some miles in front of her on our way to the farm and I was also a little bit tired, so when I turned back to take a view at her, I saw she was discussing with some of her friends on the way, so I decided to take a rest. I saw a pavement in front of a nice compound, I dropped my wheelbarrow and took a seat and was waiting on my granny.

          Unknown to me I was dressed in black top and black short and been alone there I was just in thoughts but suddenly a man just came out of the building and interrupted me in my thoughts, and looking at him he was young, tall and should be in his late 20’s. immediately he told me that something was disturbing my mind, that he has seen me in the spirit and everything is not alright, it was then that I noticed the Bible he had under his armpit. He didn’t stop there he told me he was a pastor and he began telling me about the exploits God has worked through him and he asked me to reveal the cause of my troubles to him, so I checked myself, I have attempted JAMB once and POST UME and I was not successful, so I reluctantly told him that I had admission problem and that was where the whole story began.

          The Pastor told me he is a graduate Anambra State University Uli and he also had some contacts in Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka. He said he has seen me from afar and that the Lord has ministered to him to help me. He furthered told me he will be at a an overnight Church crusade that night in a distant village and I should come with him, that by so doing he would know I am truly serious to secure admission and that he would help me. He said I should come to the exact spot where we stood at 7:00pm and he would take me there. And I promised him that I would do my best, so he left and I was sitting and pondering if I would make it before my grandmother woke me up in my thoughts and together we walked to the farm.

          Yes, as you could expect all day I was thinking about the proposal of the Pastor, afterall as at then I was young and naïve and so I decided to tell my aunty about it, but I lied and told her that I would be back that night and she obliged me the visit to the Pastor without the knowledge of my granny.

          I met the Pastor at the spot and together we went to the crusade, however on reaching there I discovered it was no crusade, it was just a family he visited at their home to pray for them and from my observations that wasn’t the first time because they already had a room prepared for him. And so after prayers we had meal and from our discussion I observed he was a Pastor of God is still God inc and the owners of that house had so much respect for him, so ordinarily I thought I was in safe hands. But afterward I and the pastor was ushered into the same room, despite the comfort of the room, I couldn’t sleep because I was ,iles away from home and being with people I just met today for the first time I still had some little reservations.

          In the room the Pastor told me he would leave for USA in two weeks time and that if I am a good boy he would take me with him and the thought of USA was exciting to me so I said I will be a good boy. We were both lying on the bed when he said he had to pray for me, and I was waiting for him to say we should get up, but no all of a sudden he climbed on top of me I was sleeping back to the ground and facing the ceiling and so I concealed my body in order to refute such overtures from the pastor but he obliged me to open my body so he can pray for me and again I refused, it was then that his wife at the village at the spot where I saw him called him on the phone and was in a very loud voice that I could also hear her clearly, she said that boy you took away the aunty and grand mother is here and they are causing all sorts of trouble here, they are demanding for their child this night, “please don’t do anything to that boy” and she hung up, but those last words of her “please don’t do anything to that boy”

That confirmed my suspicions that the man was probably gay and I was not the first person he had attempted such on, and his wife was probably aware. When he hung up the call, he was livid with anger and said my relations wanted to spoil my chances of travelling to the USA with him but I didn’t reply him, I was just waiting on daybreak so I go back home.

          But that was not all and since I was in silence he thought I was in compliance with him and so he climbed on top of me again but I closed my body after he tried and was frustrated he practically masturbated himself on top of me and then he fell asleep. But I didn’t sleep that night I was alert all through the night. In the morning he prepared his sermon and had his bathe and was dressed in white suit like an angel and so we headed back to my village. He said he would keep in touch and I said ok.

          Now back to 12^th January, 2014 and I was thinking what if this pastor had had his way with me that night I would have been a Gay today, and this is not by my wish but by force, I would see a woman and I would not appreciate her. Being a Gay is not the worst thing on earth but before you are to make someone else a gay especially someone younger he should consent to it and not you trying to force him to oblige. Well I thank God for the experience cos I learnt from it and I applied hard work to myself and studies and I secured admission.
