However, this can be a barrier if essential app is not available on playstore and you needed to install from a third-party site. Or perhaps, you need some friend's apps via Xender - file sharing app.
To enable this, just go to Settings>>Security>>Toggle the unknown sources ON or Tick the Box (depending on the phone)
5. Deactivate Auto-Update Of Apps:
If you are the type that uses unlimited WiFi connection, you can simply skip this. But if you are the type that uses limited data plan or from a friend's WiFi hotspot, you can go ahead and turn off Auto-update on the playstore app.
By default, Google playstore apps are set to Auto-update whenever there is data or WiFi connection available. As we all know that connecting to WiFi network in Nigeria without password is on the minimal.
Now, to deactivate Auto-update of apps on your Android smartphone, just navigate to playstore app, tap on the menu bar, tap on Settings, select Auto-update of apps and choose Do not Auto-update apps.

I know these tips will surely help you more than even the wizard setup that usually present itself to first time user. You will be able to use your battery for a long time when you fully charge it with a good power supply and the charger that came with it, setting up password enables you to prevent your files from unauthorized access, adding e-mail will help you to backup many files when the phone gets lost and it's very necessary for all Android users inorder to use any Google apps, deactivating Auto-update will help you from unnecessary use of your limited data and allowing unknown sources will allow you to download and install files from unknown sources apart from Playstore.
