Sagamite:
Looking at Governors of states, it is interesting to see the quality of governors people in states are voting for.

I remember when the creeetins in Ekiti voted out a highly educated governor for a known illiterate crook all because of "stomach infrastructure".

Here is my current perception of State Governors in Nigeria; grouped by their political platform.

Visionary, Educated and/or with Ray of light
Borno - Babagana Umara Zulum (APC)
Lagos - Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu (APC)
Kaduna - Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai (APC)
Nassarawa - Abdullahi A. Sule (APC)
Ekiti - John Olukayode Fayemi (APC)
Ondo - Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (APC)
Kwara - AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (APC)
Oyo - Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde (PDP)
Cross River - Benedict Bengioushuye Ayade (PDP)
Edo - Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki (PDP)
Akwa Ibom - Udom Gabriel Emmanuel (PDP)
Anambra - Charles Chukwuma Soludo (APGA)


Illiterates, Low Quality and/or Certified crooks
Kebbi - Abubakar Atiku Bagudu (APC)
Kano - Abdullahi Umar Ganduje (APC)
Gombe - Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya (APC)
Kogi – Yahaya Adoza Bello (APC)
Niger - Abubakar Sani Bello (APC)
Zamfara - Bello Muhammad Matawalle (APC)
Ebonyi - David Nweze Umahi (APC)
Ogun - Dapo Abiodun (APC)
Osun - Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola (APC)
Katsina - Aminu Bello Masari (APC)
Bauchi - Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed (PDP)
Rivers - Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike (PDP)
Bayelsa - Douye Diri (PDP)
Delta - Arthur Okowa Ifeanyi (PDP)
Adamawa - Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri (PDP)
Benue - Samuel Ioraer Ortom (PDP)
Abia - Okezie Victor Ikpeazu (PDP)


Undefined/Unknown Quality
Plateau - Simon Bako Lalong (APC)
Imo - Hope Odidika Uzodinma (APC)
Jigawa - Mohammed Badaru Abubakar (APC)
Yobe - Mai Mala Buni (APC)
Sokoto - Aminu Waziri Tambuwal (PDP)
Taraba - Darius Dickson Ishaku (PDP)
Enugu - Lawrence Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (PDP)


This shows majority of Nigerians are still voting for useless leaders.

Na hunger go wire dem!

Sagamite still dey this forum?

May I inquire as to why it can't be true?

Wow, Kobojunkie still dey this lungu�

I doubt you used your real name as your moniker, and you did post on March 12, but I still have to ask: did you see this list posted on April 23 with "Ajanlekoko" on it? I didn't even know it's a real name.

Professor Ola, I sight you. Stay away from covidity. Greetings to you and yours.

LOL. AjanleKoko is not my real name oh

Olaone1:
We thank God oooo

Good to see you here bro. I hope everything is fine

I didn't even know this Nairaland still dey exist

Una for try modify the emojis na

Ola baba, I hail

Olaone1:
Hmmmmmm

Where are some of my favourite Nairalanders?

And members of this thread?

Ajanlekoko, oyb, Naijababe, Katsumoto, kilode1, Debosky, Yamakuza, Physics QED, and many more.

Where are these people? C'mon guys, give us a wave. Let's know you're okay. This is a community. We care

Just imagine. oyb and Naijababe even deleted their monikers. 2 brilliant minds.


Just say hi, guys. Pleaseeeeee

Hi�☺️

usbcable:


Incredible that the great AJ could come out of retirement to comment on the disasterclass of the whole Argentine team and coaches inclusive of Messi and Sampaoli.

It has done for Argentina be that

Abeg make Super Eagles sha borrow themselves brain. Beat these Fooking Vikings, and even this Argentine junk.

The team plus Messi played badly. period.
If Messi no miss pen, dem for get three points.
End of.

Messi is 30, not 18. He's not a kid. He played badly, even lost a crucial pen.
He should go on vacation, forget this tournament, and try to rebuild his career, or retire. He is a great player, one of the all-time greats, no doubt. But for this particular world cup. he effed up. I don't rate his performance as better than his useless team-mates. In fact, Aguero pass Messi for this world cup sef. If to say he do like Messi, na zero points be that.

The unlimited is capped at 5Mbps. Though from time to time, maybe due to network glitch or whatever, like it was yesterday and the day before that, it was getting to 10Mbps until midafternoon. Mind you, I carefully observed this scenario.

It has been four weeks since ntel capped its unlimited at 5Mbps. Before then, it was capped at 10Mbps.

@oyb - there's your answer.

oyb:


Welcome back.

This is over my head, so let me ask the base question, are we being throttled?

I am getting max 100kb/s

Are you on Unlimited?

4llerbuntu:


You can't be using both bands at the same time, your phone switches between either band quietly

Using both bands is called Carrier Aggregation LTE-A and that's only possible with certain modems.

And you'd definitely not be seeing speeds less than 200Mbps - 1 Gbps if you were actually on LTE-A.


What Ntel claims to have and what they actually have are 2 different things entirely.....

This is not correct.
LTE-A allows you to aggregate spectrum for better output, but what determines your speed is the size of the spectrum band you are aggregating.

ntel is aggregating Band 8(900) 5MHZ, which normally will give you a peak baseband throughput of 36Mbps on LTE from Release 10 through to 14, with Band 3 (1800) 15MHZ, which gives you a peak baseband throughput ofabout 112Mbps.

CA allows them to put the 15MHZ and 5MHZ together to get somewhere between 145 and 150Mbps. Note that the peak baseband throughput represents what one user can get from the eNodeB. However, the physics ensures that you can never get it. The networks assign peak throughput per user, irrespective of what your device can do. As soon as there are users, they will rebalance and keep dropping speeds.

ntel has Carrier Aggregation.
Problem is, most devices you use don't have Carrier Aggregation. Their ZTE MF286+ supports CA. When you log into the admin console, you see it as 4G+.
But in any case, CA or not, the end user speeds are being capped. With their 20MHZ, you should normally be getting a combined speed of around 145Mbps peak baseband, if the network is open. But for capacity reasons, nobody opens their network in Nigeria.Else you will have two or three users with the right device maxing out an eNodeB (LTE base station), and everybody else getting shitty speeds.

Olaone1:
Where are the people who campaigned for Buhari on Nairaland? I mean members of this 'group?'

Many in here asked for the man.

My question is: how far?

Hmm.
To be honest .......Man's Not Hot.

oyb:


What consitutes nights pls?

10pm to 6am.

Millichamp:
How much is their night plan?

5k. Nights only. 30 nights.
You can try with the 2 nights, for just N500.
No data cap at all.

Mr2kay6:


smh you got that from somewhere...like you were forced to look at the post.....

Whose fault is it that you're a half-educated idiot, and don't know about simple things like numerology?

Hmm. Valverde.

Winter has come to the Palau Azulgrana

naijababe:


You didn't even let my conspiracy theory get into gear before you just killed my theory . Lozano shot him inside that bush o just after he was discovered staking out Lloyd's. How could he have sent it before he was shot? If he truly has been shot and we don't see him in S3 I owe you a beer

You have been owing me beers for donkey years, this woman.
To think that i have to come and seek you out of Nairaland again sef
So daa be?

naijababe:


DS for some reason has slowed down, in fact the season finale left me thinking 'Is that it?'
Season 1 held so much promise, after the reveal about Lozano being alive, it was as if they didn't know what to do next to keep the suspense going. Season 3 is probably going to be all about Lloyd auctioning state secrets and taunting Kirkman while at it, we shall see.... I still hold out some hope and it is definitely worth watching. Plus, I think Atwood is alive, his death not being shown to us must mean something. How did he get that tape to 'what her name again?'?

He sent the email just before he was shot.
The dude is dead o jare.

ntel issues thread don become Spectranet troubleshooting and optimization thread

I'm back to this thread.

Will be reopening with the rock from the 60s. Watch this space.

I disagree.

These messaging aps are used in other countries yet their telecoms sector is still very vibrant.

The problem is that these companies are not innovative. They can also expand and introduce other products such as sim only deals inclusive of minutes and data, etc.

In the UK, we have SKY. A company listed on the stock exchange. They started with providing satellite TV services before expanding into landline and broadband. Just recently, they've introduced mobile phone services offering deals for mobile phone customers.

Quite fair assessment, but I don't agree that operators are not innovative in Nigeria. The real problem is, nobody can be excellent at everything, you need to focus on your strength. This is a very different market, and there are so many extant factors. The market is very fragmented and poorly regulated (you can't just jump from voice and data into TV in Nigeria), the operators are struggling to maintain a half-decent quality of service, there is zero infrastructure so you have to build everything from scratch, and we don't have a tech base in Nigeria. We import the technology to deploy telecom in Nigeria at a significant premium, unlike markets where this technology is manufactured, and the premium is not there, or at least the premium is financed long-term.

There is also the problem of capital. While operators like MTN who are successful are using capital gained from Nigeria to expand into other markets (consequence of regulatory failures in Nigeria), other largely unsuccessful operators simply can't find the capital they need to expand (Smile, Swift, Spectranet, ntel, and others).

It's easy for Sky to build a business in England. Sky is not different from DSTV. They built their DTH TV product on BT's ADSL and fiber infrastructure, and they were reselling internet capacity from BT. Now they are buying mobile capacity from various mobile operators to resell as an MVNO, just to add to the stickiness of their product. They had all the enablers in place to tap into the residential market, and they used their advantage (Content rights) to leverage their way into the broadband business.

Why do you think DSTV is not doing what Sky is doing, or pivoting like Sky? They can see the way the telecom players are operating, and they don't want to be dragged into their mess. So they just acquire the basic technology they need (KU-Band Satellite) and distribute their content to homes. They spend their energy on what they feel they can do best (produce and license content), while they keep their tech as basic and controlled as possible. Unfortunately for the wireless network operators, it's a massive technology sinkhole, a racket being controlled by various bodies controlled by the equipment vendors. I.e. if you are not profitable on 2G, you won't be profitable on 3G, and you sure as hell stand zero chance of making it with 4G.

It's as simple as that.

See Escobar tinz oh

Escobar do this one tire

For the phone, forget it.
Ntel is such a stupid network that the fact that the phone clearly supports their 4G band does not mean that it will work.

i suffered the same fate with about 2 phones. na luck the thing dey take work.

plus its not a wise idea, because their network is so crap that it will be killing the phone battery very quickly



for the MiFi, maybe the service isn't too good in that your vicinity.....

if it is unlocked it usually works without much ado

Which phones were those that you bought and didn't work? Did they work on, say, Smile?
Most phones that are sold in Nigeria are not able to work on 4G-only networks; they're configured for CS-Fallback, i.e. connect to 2G/3G for voice, and LTE for data. ntel and Smile don't have 2G or 3G obviously, so ...

Though there are a few tricks, but they are a bit of a pain. You can for example download and install the 4G Switcher if they are Android devices, or use the System mode codes to access the device firmware, but when you reboot device, you likely return to square one.

AjanleKoko na your name I dey see so? It's been a while since you posted here.

Hello guys?

Does anyone know if Ntel router is network locked?

Don't think so.
