DAY 3. 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S7

Back to my missing phone saga.I went to the airport just before Christmas to meet up with this bogga lady, who was going to do a transit to Kumasi (Ghana) straight from New York. So I got to the airport real early, patiently waiting for the flight to touch down. Of course, it delayed. By three hours. Whilst waiting, the crowd at the airport was rapidly building. Lots of people had come to greet and welcome their loved ones back home. They just couldn't wait for the announcement over the PA system of a particular flight which hopefully was carrying that precious loved one.

So, I finally got my phone. A brand new ZTE AXON PRO, 64GB ROM, 4GB RAM, DUAL CAMERAS, LOUD FRONT-FACING SPEAKERS, QUAD HD SCREEN and the latest android version. I even heard that the screen was antibacterial. Chale, what else could a tech and gadget addict like me ask for? 

I just couldn't wait to get home and unbox it. Like a groom who has been waiting patiently for all the ceremony of the wedding to be over, so that he can take his wife home, and cheer her up. (Wink).

This was just before Christmas day, 2015. What a lovely Christmas. gift I had purchased for myself. Plus, I had been smart enough to wait for BLACK FRIDAY DEALS ON AMAZON.COM, before purchasing the phone. Thus, I had saved almost $300 at the time of purchase. What a smart guy I am. I kept telling myself so. I was so proud of myself. Extremely proud.

Well, as fate would have it, I was made the MC for a youth programme on the First day of the year, 2016. Not only was I the MC, I was also billed to perform at the event because, well, I am a very talented, creative, something something.

The programme started on a pretty high note with various spectacular performances. It built up to a crescendo when I took the stage to perform/minister with my team of artists. We did a medley of rap and worship which was pretty awesome. If I am allowed to say so myself. You don't believe me, see the emotion and energy in the picture below! Believe me now?

So, we brought the roof down that day. And as if it had been rehearsed, the moment we were done and we took our bows, thank you, thank you, with people cheering so loudly and screaming for more, all of a sudden, ECG (ELECTRICITY COMPANY OR CORPORATION OF GHANA) switched off the lights. Don't worry, in my part of the world, it is a very common phenomenon. I noticed that a lot of my readers are from USA, Germany, Poland, etc, that is why I am taking the pains to explain this.

Chale, I am an INTERNATIONAL BLOGGER OOO. What a Shock!

Anyways, back to my story. I feel like DEADPOOL here. The lights went out and for a brief moment, we (me and my team of extremely talented artists) stepped out of the auditorium. There noor, I remembered that I had left my gorgeous phone on the front seat in the auditorium, where I had. been sitting as. MC. I rushed into the now dark auditorium, took a look at the place where the phone should have been, and then my heart sunk. 

IT WAS GONE!!!! MISSING!

ALIBABA, must have come around.

Since that day, all efforts to recover my stolen phone, proved futile.

I used all the apps, even wrote a mail to google. Nothing! I contacted the Telecommunication networks to assist. Nothing! I even prayed to God and did a week of fasting! Nothing!

It is at this point that I want to introduce the 3rd reason why you should not buy the Samsung Galaxy S7. 

IT CAN GET STOLEN AS SOON AS YOU BUY IT!!!! 

So, unless you already have some super tracking app installed on your phone when you buy it, maybe you should reconsider buying such an expensive phone, at least, till the price is reduced to clear.

So, maybe, this post has not been appropriately titled. Perhaps, I should call it, 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S7, AT LEAST, UNTIL YOU FIND A WAY TO RETRIEVE IT WHEN IT GETS STOLEN

Cyb3r.

isn't it interesting that there is another place called Circle, outside Ghana where phones disappear?
