Religion / Re: How Do I Get Christ Embassy Port Harcourt To Stop Pestering Me by DeKen: 9:19pm On Dec 27, 2022
The MTN guy keeps dodging my complain that has to do with MTN but instead focuses on telling me how to activate selective Do Not Disturb. But that is not my issue with MTN. He says my contact does not have active Value Added Service (VAS). But I believe the SMSs I get are simple bulk SMS which I believe is not VAS. So I guess there's no way to stop that from MTN's end. Christ Embassy would need to remove my contact from their bulk SMS list.

MTN needs to address why Christ Embassy could change my caller tune without my consent. So far the support guy has been dodging from addressing that.

Caller tune has already been canceled.

Just delete them. It's a minor thing.

I've been ignoring for about 3 years now till they went a step further to change my caller tunes. I can't keep ignoring like that. I don't know what they'll do next.

Very true with the 2442.

As for the direct phone messages, what you can do in the interim is to block them and since they are quite a number, you will encounter some difficulties.

Well, there are some irritants we all live with I guess this is one of them for you until they decide on not bothering you anymore.

I'll keep looking for a way to stop them. Thanks for your input.

It's likely that someone gave them a wrong phone Number. Just igore.
Likely the case but how do I ignore constantly receiving these messages for 3 years now and counting. When they have a programme I may receive 4 messages a day.

One way or the other I'll have to get them to stop.

Stop to 2442 will activate DND (do not disturb) which will prevent you from receiving all bulk SMSs including those that are important for you. That's not something I can afford to do.

Meanwhile some of the message are direct phone messages (ie not bulk SMS).

Lukuluku69:


Send STOP to 2442. It will block bulk Smash to your Line.

They can get your Number via many means. From Church members, even from your Service provider (who are Members of that Church, yes they are that desperate)

The funny thing is most of the messages sent to you is about Money.

To maintain Private Jet, Fry hair and maintain status quo requires a lot of brinkmanship.

Keep complaining though especially to your Service Provider

Cheers.

This is enough reason to sue MTN for emotional distress and other charges. It's time to cash out. Contact a lawyer ASAP.
I know its enough reason to sue but I'm not sure I'm ready to spend the money to pursue the case. I'm more interested in having my peace. The emotional stress from Christ Embassy is even more. Receiving unnecessary notifications on your major line that you receive alerts can be stressful especially if you are expecting some money.

MTN later asked me to provide my phone number privately. I guess they were looking at deactivating the caller tunes which I'd already done.

I'm yet to receive response from FCCPC. May be they are already on holidays.

Let's see how it goes.

See MTN's response to the issue. They deflected from the caller tunez issue which is the major one that I have problem with them to address the unsolicited SMS, advising I activate Do Not Disturb (DND).

Today I googled and found how to cancel the caller tunez.

I'm also looking at making a complain to Consumer Protection Council especially for the part where MTN would allow a 3rd party change a subscriber's caller tune without the subscriber's consent.

The number has been mine long before they started reassigning numbers. I've been using the line as far back as 2005. That's about 17 years.

olaeffect:
The issue is that your particular number might have belonged to Christ Embassy in the past. They stopped using the number for long and MTN reassigned it to you.
You need to urgently sort this out with MTN.
When and how did you get the number?
Please treat as urgent because technically that number does not fully belong to you.
Hope you remember the issue of that guy that got a number that was previously used by one of Buhari's daughter.

If you look at the messages you will see it's not one phone number and some are bulk SMSs. They've also changed my caller tunes without my consent.

Religion / How Do I Get Christ Embassy Port Harcourt To Stop Pestering Me by DeKen: 7:36pm On Dec 23, 2022
For about 3 years now (if not more), a Christ Embassy branch in Port Harcourt has been pestering me with unsolicited SMS and calls. The height of it all is changing my caller tune today to a Christ Embassy advert without my knowledge or consent. Can anyone advise me on how to get them to stop?

I’ve called some of the contacts they included in some of their SMS adverts for their programmes and also requested those that have called me to please delete my phone number from their database that I’ve never been a Christ Embassy member and some promised to do so but the SMSs didn’t stop. One actually argued with me and insisted that I was their member before so I shouldn’t be complaining. I explained to him that I’ve never lived in Port Harcourt neither have I attended any of their programmes in Port Harcourt before. He didn’t give me any promise like others.

Just this evening I received an SMS notification from MTN that my CHRIST EMBASSY corporate callertunez registration was successful. I never registered, requested, applied or opted for this. I now dialed my phone from another line and it played a Christ Embassy end of year programme advert for their programme on Trans Amadi road, Port Harcourt. The change of my caller tune is completely without my knowledge or consent.

I’m also surprised as to how MTN could allow this kind of action to be taken by a 3rd party without consent of their subscriber.
I’m so upset about this and want Christ Embassy Port Harcourt to stop pestering me. I’ve had enough of this.

Problem not yet solved.
If the said person who transferred it is mischievous, he can still make a case since the original reversal plan hasn't been effected. So pray he's cool headed too. If not, you just lost your 100k.

What will be the person's explanation of the 100k that I sent to her?

No reason the cost ...
Please return the cash .
God will bless you
Its not really about the cost as much as the stress. I hate going into the banking hall.

When my Zenith card was trapped by an ATM last year December I didn't go to get another one till September this year and that was simply because I lost my only alternative card (GT card). I didn't bother to go and get a replacement GT card since September till it expired in October or so and auto replacement that I was notified about is still at the bank. I'm managing with the zenith which I later got when I had to go the banking hall for bulk cash.

That's how much I hate going to the banking hall. I miss the days when Zenith bank had high account opening limit and was not having queues.

Update: The First Bank Obudu branch guy called me this afternoon and I asked him about my cost of going to the bank and he said that my transport would be sorted out once I authorize the reversal.

Unfortunately I also had a flat tire yesterday while my spare is at the vulcanizer. I can't imagine myself trekking in this afternoon hot son to get to the main road (I currently live on my farm and its a bit off the main road).

I called back to ask if there's a way I can confirm he's a First Bank staff so that I can just transfer from a other account. He suggested video call and I agreed. Saw him in the bank and saw his ID card. He also showed me the customer who made the mistake. I was satisfied and asked for the customers account details and made the transfer.

When it was confirmed he said the customer would send my transport. I told him it wasn't necessary as I didn't go to the bank.

I've been experiencing some disappointments with First Bank.

1. It took going to the bank multiple times before I could get to use Internet Banking
I'd decided not to get an ATM card for my First Bank Corporate account with the hope to rely on Internet Banking. But my experience has not been a nice one. 1st I had to go to the bank at least 3 different times and filled the same form to activate Internet banking before it was finally activated. Each time I was promised that I'll receive a mail but it never came until after the 3rd time. But I wasn't informed that I'll need to have a hardware token before I could perform any transactions. When I got disappointed while trying to make an urgent transfer I got to realize that I needed a token. Please note that this is several years ago when Internet Banking had not yet been popular. So not everyone would have known that transactions will require the token.

Then I was at the banking hall again for the token only to be informed that the request must be on my company's letterhead, so I had to go back another day.

2. They did an upgrade to the Internet Banking Platform years ago and since then my token was no longer recognized.
After the upgrade to the Internet Banking my hardware token stopped being recognized even though it is still working and producing tokens. There was information that I should synchronize it through the Internet banking platform and I followed the procedure yet it still didn't work. I went to a branch to complain and I was repeatedly asked to come back. After two such times I now complained about having to be told to come back each time and I was referred to someone who still referred me back to the same person. Then I was told to come back with the token. Since then I couldn't take out the time to go back. That's years ago.

So since then whenever I receive money in that account, I'll go to the bank and fill a transfer form to move everything to another account.

Not so long ago I got a call that my account has been upgraded to Premium Services and I was told that if I had any issues it would be resolved quickly. When I received such call again recently I used the opportunity to mention my challenge with the Internet Banking and token and I was asked to call out the serial number for assistance. However, the feedback was that my token which is still producing the token digits can't be synchronized, that I'll have to get another one for N2,500. Wow. Surprisingly the tokens I have from other banks that are equally as old (and one even older) are still working.

3. Erroneous transfer into my account
Now to the latest. Someone mistakenly transferred 100k into my account yesterday morning around 11am. By 3pm I was called by a guy who says he's calling from First Bank Branch Obudu asking me to go to any of their branches to effect a reversal. I think he also said that my account has been prevented from debits. I asked why can't they just return the money to the owner without me having to go to the bank and he said it requires my authorization. I asked if I can do it at my convenience when ever I go to town since I now live outside town and he said the money is needed urgently. I agreed I will go the next day. But afterwards I'm now wondering, why do I have to stress myself, leave what ever I have to do and bear the cost to drive down to town to authorize the reversal thereby bearing cost for someone else's mistake? Erroneous transfers are common place, why shouldn't there be an easier way of effecting the authorization without having to stress a customer? I hate going to the banking hall. I hate queuing. And right now I'm not in the mood to do so especially considering the cost of fuel.

I've sent a mail to the bank asking them to do the reversal. I hope that should suffice because I'm not comfortable bearing cost for someone else's mistake.

the bush variety Cora bean does not need staking and produces for 3-4 weeks after 40-45 days of planting,with an average yield per plant of 3-3.5llbs per crop,if the soil is fertile it will not need additional fertilizer or just organic manure.while on the other side the pole bean variety super giant needs serious staking 6-7 feet high,it produces for 2-3 months after 60-65 days of planting,with an average yield of 6-6.6llbs per crop,these leguminous crops are nitrogen fixers,if grown in poor soil they amend the soil by pumping Nitrogen in it making it more fertile,Technisem super giant pole bean type @#2,000 naira for 10 grams,this is another crazy yielding crop !!!NB ,pls note that all information are from technisem catalogue and agritropic Nigeria.

I know this is a cucumber thread but I will like to post this and see if I can get more advice and insight on how to proceed,the supply of cabbage around our area is so erratic that our cucumber buyers have to pay in advance and wait for 3-4 days before the produce comes from Cameroon,a good size head retail for #400-#600 naira now, so we are thinking how hard can it get?the major problem in cabbage production is weather, if temperature is too hot it will not form head,we have 6 plots of land that has been idle because it is shaded so much that a temperature difference of 5-10c than other land around that is not shaded creating a perfect micro climate for cabbage,also coupled with intense mulching and daily irrigation we are confident of heads forming,and if the heat raises above 30c,we plan to use bamboo and palm frond to create more shade,we have planted the most heat tolerant variety for Africa (Gloria f 1),we have measured the planting spacing and got 1700 crop for one plot,and we will be planting one plot monthly, planted 10 grams roughly 2500 seeds,hopefully we will get 1500-1700 transplants,imagine to be harvesting 1500 heads at #400 per head every month,I will not fold my hands and say it will not work
