Should you root your Android Phone?

Rooting a phone means gaining access to some special settings within the phone which have been locked by the manufacturers.

As much as there is gain in rooting your phone, there is also the danger of your phone malfunctioning or even becoming unusable.

Ideally you should not have any reason to root your phone. From my own experience the positives are far lesser than the negatives. Also rooting your phone makes it vulnerable to all kinds of malicious and virus attacks. Your phone won’t run faster than it was when it was unrooted.

One reason why you may be tempted to root your phone is when you accidentally deleted a file and you want to recover it. Most apps you download to recover deleted files will ask that you root the phone. And at the end of the day even after rooting, nothing is found, but you have only unlocked your phone’s security features and are now open to virus and spam attacks.

As Google continues to upgrade its Android system, and the fact that apps can now do functions which before would have required rooting your phone, it has now become largely unnecessary to root your phone.

Most people who root their phones end up damaging it in the end.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t root your phone, but only if you have a genuine reason for doing so. 

If you are a developer of android operating systems, you can root your android phone because you want to get the very best out of it and you know what you are doing.

If you are not a developer, just a normal end user, then DON’T ROOT YOUR PHONE!

Just enjoy the phone capabilities as they are or get a better one.

Nigeria Vs Sudan

The super eagles of Nigeria have defeated Sudan to qualify for the next stage of AFCON. Nigeria made a blistering start to the game with their first goal just after 3 mins.

Samue Chukwueze  stroked home from a Moses Simon pass. Nigeria continued to press and  consequently scored their second goal on the strike of halftime. A Troost-Ekong header bounced off  Taiwo Awoniy, beating the Sudanese goalkeeper. 

Moses Simon increased Nigeria’s scoreline to 3-0 very early in the second. However the Sudanese got a consolation goal after a penalty was awarded against Nigeria following a foul by Ania in the box.

Nigeria tops the group with 6 points.

In the other game in group D, Egypt narrowly defeated Guinea Bissau by 1 goal to nil. Although Guinea Bissau gave the Egyptians a run for their money, Egypt missed many scoring chances and would have paid dearly but thanks to VAR for disallowing the goal that the Guineas scored 8 minutes from time.

With this win, Egypt moves to second on the table with 3 points. While Guinea Bissau and Sunday occupy the third and fourth position with one point each.

Manchester City vs Chelsea: 1-0

Manchester City have made the double over Chelsea after beating them 1-0 at the Etihad. Overall, the match was a tightly contested affair and it was City that edged it with a De Bruyne goal in the 70th minute. A curled shot to the right hand corner after he escaped from kante and ran at the  Chelsea defence before slotting home.

Chelsea also could have taken the lead early in the second half when Lukaku had a one on one with the City goalkeeper but failed to score.

To crown it all Manchester City deserved their, they were slightly the better side. 

Manchester City have now moved 13 points clear of Chelsea in second place. Liverpool can reduce the gap to eight points if they win their 2 games in hand.

The super eagles started the game on an offensive note, taking the game to the Egyptians and creating chances. The Egyptian team on the other hand were on the defensive mode and counter attacking when the opportunity came for them.

The Nigerian pressure eventually yielded the first and only goal of the game in the 30th minute. Kelechi Iheanacho volleyed home following a pass from Joe Aribo.

The super eagles dominated the game throughout including the midfield. The pharaohs were reduced to few chances in the game.

Next game for Nigeria is against Sudan on the 15th of January 2022 at 17:00 hours.
