KolaShangOne:
To whom it may concern.. You may not be able to reach me on whatsapp till evening. Men of the underworld came to my house to cart away my phones. Please do not transact any business for now. Thanks.

Hmmm..... I Thank God that no one was injured (I perceive).
May the Heaven compensate your loss in many folds.

I was just wondering,.... in my own very curious nature: Does your "online presence" have anything to do with that event? Was the knowledge that you are doing something capital intensive have anything to do with it?
Since we dont keep cash at home anymore ..... (l dont even pay contractors cash, l do an online transfer into their account and if you say you dont have one, then you will have to follow me to the "inside" of the bank to get your money!) I am wondering whether "just phone" or such things as household electronics was their real target?

Dont answer these questions if you are not comfortable with answering them here..... but please do reflect on them in your own quiet time.
We all learn from such events so as to prevent any re-occurrence.
When such things happen to anyone, it annoys me so much that l think owning a "Jagamu" (for defending your family and home) should be a fundamental right for everyone. angry

@lastpage Thanks for the prayers and the concern sir.. I actually had reservations about making contact details public but its a risk we have to take in this trade.
But honestly I think the events are unconnected with my online presence. I haven't had a client come to my house or give me physical cash. But then, an adage says "you can't be as wise as people monitoring you".

These ones just come for cash (they are satisfied with 10 or 20k) phones, gold, and other easy to carry valuables..

Beams.. And secret beams..

Ive seen structures decked on Nairaland where they used secret beams throughout. Secret beams are not a replacement to beams. Just for added support

[s]I will give Kolashangone a full version of Snagit with the activation License ... for free.

Question is how do l l get it to him since l still wish to remain anonymous to everyone on nairaland?

@KolashangOne:

if you have an Email you can put here for me, l will try and drop the Exec-file and the License number.
All you need do is run it and license it.[/s]

Dont update it ..otherwise you will need to buy another License.

Edit: I think what you will need is just the License, to make that free trial a full version 7.25.
