Before You Put A Screen Lock On Your Phone Read This by marshborn(m): 3:13pm On Jul 23, 2016
A friend of mine was involved in a a motor accident on his way makurdi, somewhere in a remote part of benue state, according to eye witnesses he became unconscious and was rushed to the local health centre around that area for first aid treatment.

The good samaritans that helped were able to locate his two phones and they tried contacting his family or friends to inform them of his where about, but to their disappointment the two phones were locked. He stayed in the state of coma for two good days before finally giving up the ghost, because the local health centre lacked the professionals to keep him alive.
Had his phone been accessible he might have stood a better chance of being alive today.

So avoid putting a screen lock on all your phones, it's okay to lock certain applications that may contain personal messages and informations e.g mobile banking app, WhatsApp e.t.c. but at least leave the contact list accessible to everybody, DON'T PUT A SCREEN LOCK.
This might just save your life.

some people have 360 security software installed on their phones, to even pick calls on their behalf is a very big task

Why not put his sim card in another phone, or the health care personnel don't know this.?

I stopped locking my phone about 3 years ago. Nobody prays for bad things to happen. We also need to be less secretive. Why should I go crazy if my phone is accessed?

They should have removed the Sim card and put it in another phone to locate the contacts. I will continue to password my phone but I cannot use pin code for my sim

A word they say, is enough for the wise. Especially for you girls with like 3 boyfriends and 4 magas guys in the friend zone.
Ever wondered why some girls go bananas when you playfully take their phones from them (even when they know they have pass coded it?). Ditto for the many girls who form decent outwardly buh have lots of porn/erotica videos on their phones.
Not also forgetting my guys with multiple babes on their hit list, and those who keep nudes their gfs sent them. Yuck! Who does that?

I disagree with you bruv

that's what ICE (In Case of Emergency) is for

works on android,BB,windows and IoS platforms

My phone is my personal space, more or less like my room , if i find you in my room without my permission we go fight taya grin grin grin


The same way you get angry when you find a stranger in your apartment or building

How would calling relatives save his life ? Will they just manifest to Lagos if the accident occourred in Abuja ? Will they transport blood via email if he needs transfusion ?

The way i see it , Everyone should always carry ID card with Relative's number or Download ICE

Then all the staff at the health center should be sacked and replaced with qualified staff..
