NDC presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi, responds to Governor Chukwuma Soludo after a report by the state government stating that it is still repaying loans borrowed during his administration.
So this APC supporter asked me to go and hug transformer because I said I would not vote for Tinubu.
I hugged the transformer for 12 hours straight, nothing happened. No light.
Please everyone should get their PVCs

This happened to my younger brother.
It was that year Infinix just changed ownership and they released Infinix Hot 1.
Fine sleek phone and very affordable too. My brother got one.
About 2 months later, he went to bank to get JAMB form with his phone in his pocket. He took a bus to and fro.
When he got back home and brought out his phone, it wasn't his phone. Rather he saw a small itel Torchlight phone with his sim and memory card in itππ
The boy wan craze that day.
How it happened, till date we don't know. He didn't sleep in the bus, it was a very short distance.
People said it was juju.
At least they gave him small phone to use with his simππ
Today's lecture almost turned into a Nollywood comedy scene. π
Lecturer asked a guy at the back, "What's the function of this drug?"
My guy stood up confidently, adjusted his glasses, cleared his throat and said:
"Sir, before I answer, I want to appreciate your effort throughout this semester..."
The entire class knew he was buying time. π
Lecturer smiled and said, "Nice speech. Now answer the question."
Silence.
Bro looked around for divine intervention, checked the ceiling, checked the floor, checked us.
Then he finally said:
"Sir... the drug and I are not on speaking terms."
The whole class exploded. Even the lecturer had to remove his glasses because he couldn't stop laughing. ππ
Moral of the story: Confidence can open many doors, but it cannot answer exam questions for you.
THE DAY MY XIAOMI 13 PRO JOINED THE GREEN LINE ASSOCIATION (@Thazhigilla_ would be proud of me)
A few weeks ago, I was in Abuja.
Now, anyone who has spent enough time in the FCT knows that Abuja and heat are practically in a committed relationship. The temperature can be ridiculous on some days.
I noticed that my Xiaomi 13 Pro was getting noticeably warmer than usual, both while charging and during normal use. At first, I thought it was just one of those random phone moments. However, when I eventually left Abuja, the phone returned to its usual operating temperature.
Interesting.
For context, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is a proper 2023 flagship. Excellent cameras, amazing display, powerful performance, great for content creation, multitasking, photography, videography, and basically everything you'd expect from a premium Android device.
(Yes, my Android people, this is your cue to smile confidently.)
Then came the plot twist.
One regular day, I was scrolling through X, replying customers on WhatsApp, attending to gadget orders, and generally minding my business when a very thin green line suddenly appeared on the right side of my screen.
No warning.
No dramatic fall.
No water damage.
No consultation.
Just a perfectly straight green line from the top of the display to the bottom, as if someone used a ruler to draw it.
Congratulations.
I had officially joined the Green Line Association.
After weeks of research, discussions, troubleshooting, and reading experiences from other users across multiple brands, this is the conclusion I arrived at:
- HEAT IS AN ENEMY.
- MANUFACTURING DEFECTS ARE ALSO ENEMIES.
- And sometimes they work together.
Many people associate green lines with Samsung devices because several Galaxy models over the years have had well-documented reports of the issue. What many people don't realize is that Samsung Display is one of the largest OLED manufacturers in the world and supplies display panels to several smartphone brands, including Xiaomi, Apple, OnePlus, Vivo, OPPO, and others.
However, having a Samsung-made display does NOT automatically mean a phone will develop green lines.
The issue can result from:
β’ Manufacturing tolerances or defects
β’ Driver IC failures
β’ Display connector or bonding issues
β’ Excessive heat exposure
β’ Physical impact or stress
β’ Water damage
β’ Long-term panel degradation
β’ In rare cases, software-related display control issues
This explains why green lines have appeared on devices from Samsung, OnePlus, Pixel, Xiaomi, and even occasionally on iPhones.
The display manufacturer is only one piece of the puzzle.
In my case, I strongly suspect heat played a role. Whether it exposed an existing manufacturing weakness or accelerated an already developing fault, I can't say with absolute certainty.
What I can say is that prolonged exposure to high temperatures is never good for electronic devices.
That said, let's be realistic.
For every person posting green lines online, there are thousands of users enjoying the exact same phones without ever experiencing the issue.
You'll hear people say:
"Don't buy Samsung, green line."
"Don't buy Xiaomi, green line."
"Don't buy OnePlus, green line."
At this rate, we'll soon be communicating with smoke signals...π
The truth is that no brand is completely immune.
Phones are machines. Machines sometimes fail.
So don't let the fear of green lines stop you from buying a smartphone that genuinely suits your needs, whether it's Android or iPhone.
Life is already stressful enough.
Buy the phone.
Take pictures.
Make memories.
Reply your customers.
And pray your display remains faithful.
As for me, I'm currently using a Samsung flagship and enjoying it.
If a green line appears again, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Preferably without another line joining the first one.
And yes, before I forget...
We sell both Android and iPhones and deliver nationwide.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk... ππ

I just mistakenly watched thet FUOYE SUG President video ππ³
