@tkb glo introduced unlimited calls to other glolines sometime last year, but they had to suspend it because their network couldn't carry the traffic it caused, that's the major prob with such things in naija, if glo network is jammed, it's not only glo subscribers it affects. . . p.s. i think it was about NGN10 everyday or something sha. . .it lasted for a week or something funny |

tkb417: Ahhhh the good old urban 'myth'! Actually, its not really a myth - T-mobile did offer this deal a few years back when they were trying to capture market share. Then they added all the constraints that Sauron pointed out, later reduced the minutes to 3000 and eventually phased out the deal. I am pretty sure they dont have this deal anymore, those that are still on it have been on it for ages but you will not get it on a new contract. It actually explains why a lot of students and Nigerians are on T-mobile in the UK. Back then it was regarded as cheap/value for money. But read between the lines and you will realise you are spending way more than if you were on o2 or orange (not Vodafone though cos thats just way too expensive!) and if you want BB/Iphone, you gast be on o2 or orange really! |

alamsdee:That's what baffles me so much about the rich in Nigeria. Willing to live amongst mind numbing poverty and carrying on as if it's none of their business, carrying on and happy that they're above some people who'll be willing to lick the ground they walk on and call them "Sah" for just about enough money to buy them a loaf of agege bread. |

Intellectual laziness and selfishness is so pervasive amongst some visiting Nigerians to the UK that they can't see beyond the 'shopping' let alone empathise with their invariably 'poorer', 'jealous' host - friend, relative etc. Why do you not visit Benin RP or perhaps Egypt you may learn something new or gain some insight about life without relatives or friends where your bills will remind you to be a little introspective/reflective before assuming that your relatives or friends are 'jealous' of your uncouth behaviour. Travel without 'baggage' and you'll definitely benefit immensely. Leave so-called 'jealous' friends and relatives out of your hang-ups. There are many ways of visiting/holidaying without being uncivil and socially blind which unfortunately most Nigerians like you fall into that category. No wonder Nigerians never learn/appreciate the simple but pleasant things in life we encounter during their so-called travels out of the country. Ignorance is bad but deliberate ignorance like the poster have demonstrated is sad and wicked indeed. I hope Uk residents will see the humour and vindictiveness in his view of them as 'jealous' of this 'big' man visiting from Nigeria yet squatting whenever he can snatch the opportunity. |

I don't think that Nigerians properly resident in the UK will ever be envious let alone 'jealous' of their visiting counterparts from Nigeria knowing fully well the vagaries of life in Nigeria as most Nigerians know it today! - ;DI wonder which life in Nigeria is he being boastful of in comparison to his 'jealous' and 'poorer' friends/relatives, I dey laff, |

Guess so. Many naija dudes in the UK are semi-broke hustlers that barely try to stay afloat. A lot also don't have valid papers and cannot get decent jobs. The ones with valid papers do not have jobs that pay that well and so are unable to come back to Naija often to 'show off'. The ones without papers can't even come back because they may never be able to get visas to return. In either case, many of them are stuck in a rot, so to speak. When they now see 'lucky' folks who dart in and out of UK 'shere shere' to distract their work they can't help but feel resentful. . .especially if you're financially much better off than they are. They either avoid you to save their pride so that you wouldn't witness their skint condition first hand, or they shamelessly 'tax' you all over the place. But then the few that are quite successful and rich over there are in another class altogether: you would do all the envying when you meet those. Different strokes, I suppose. |
