Sorry peeps, my MTN BIS is still unlimited. I have used more than 4GB within 3 days and still browsing, still downloading, still streaming HD videos and others. Mine once stopped browsing until good nairaland hackers came to my rescue.
To get it back on after it stops browsing, send 2H to 131, to activate the 2Hrs I Day Simple surf plan for #250. It will connect again.
Remember, Do NOT use this APN: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net on the Time plan else, it will keep counting and reading.

Who cares about MTN?

Hello All,

For some while now, many (MTN Customers) in Lagos and environs have been having issues in calls and data browsing (BlackBerry Inclusive).

This explains MTN Normal Apology Letter which always goes on thieir Facebook page at MTN LoadedNG:


We apologize to all our customers in Lagos
and environs who might have been
experiencing difficulties in making and
receiving calls, or in accessing data on their
phones.
This service outage is due to a fibre failure,
which has disrupted traffic to some of our
hub sites. We are, however working hard to
restore services to the affected areas.
Thank you for your patience and
understanding.

Am Gonna start trying it. She speaks the truth.

Dr.(Mrs.)Dumebi Owa, a Dental Surgeon and trained health counsellor, is a multiple Masters Degree holder in Public Health, Environmental Management and Public Administration. After her first degree at the University of Ibadan, she had gone to the UK where she got married and had her children.

While there, she worked as a Market Researcher, and since her return to Nigeria with her family, she has pitched her tent with the Ministry of Defence. In this interview, Dr.Dumebi who is also the current President of the Medical Women’s Association, Nigeria-MWAN, Lagos Chapter, laments poor dental health awareness in Nigeria and speaks on MWAN’s activities, among sundry issues.

From your experience, how much awareness do you think Nigerians have about dental health?

Health wise, Nigerians are poorly informed, but when it comes to dental healthcare, it is worse. Dental health awareness in Nigeria is very low, and that’s why I like talking to people about it at every given opportunity. How many of us know that we’re supposed to brush our teeth after breakfast and not before breakfast?

Yes, you ought to have brushed before going to bed at night because the essence of brushing is to remove the food particles in your mouth! When you eat and get full, you rush to the toilet to pass out wastes, and that’s also what happens in your mouth! We all have millions of micro-organisms in our mouth, so, when we eat and leave food particles there, it is like we’ve called them to party!

They will eat, get full, and then pass out wastes in the form of acid, which then starts decaying the tooth and leaving you with mouth odours and others. Actually, I’ve noticed an increase in incidences of caries and other tooth ailments because our diet has changed; with a lot of junk food all-over town.

We’re what we eat, so, this is affecting our teeth. The mouth happens to be the mirror of the body, and that’s why you could even detect certain diseases by examining the mouth. There’s a lot of hardwork to be done on health issues in this part of the world. Government cannot do it all; people should learn to support in their little ways. If foreigners could contribute their hard-earned money to send down to us as aid in Nigeria, why can’t the rich among us also help the less privileged?

These are the 10 most educated
countries in the world.

10. Finland Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 37% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009):
1.8 % (3rd lowest) GDP per capita:
$36, 585 (14th highest) Pop. change
(2000 – 2009): 3.15 % (10th lowest)
Finland is a small country relative to
the otherOECDmembers. The share of
its adult population with some sort of
postsecondary education, however, is
rather large. This select group is
reaching the end of its expansion.
From 1999 to 2009, the number of
college- educated adults increased
only 1.8 % annually — the third-
smallest amount among allOECD
countries. Finland is also one of only
two countries, the other being Korea,
in which the fields of social sciences,
business and law are not the most
popular among students. In Finland,
new entrants are most likely to study
engineering, manufacturing and
construction.

9. Australia Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 37% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009):
3.3 % (11th lowest) GDP per capita:
$40, 719 (6th highest) Pop. change
(2000 – 2009): 14.63% (3 rd highest)
Australia’s population grew 14.63%
between 2000 and 2009. This is the
third-largest increase amongOECD
countries. Its tertiary-educated adult
population is increasing at the much
less impressive annual rate of 3.3%.
Australia also spends the sixth-least
amount in public funds on education
as a percentage of all expenditures.
The country also draws large numbers
of international students.

Crushed by the Global Recession ]

8. United Kingdom Pct. population
with postsecondary education: 37%
Avg. annual growth rate (1999 –
2009): 4.0 % (9th highest) GDP per
capita: $35,504 (16th highest) Pop.
change (2000 – 2009): 3.47% (13th
lowest)
Unlike most of the countries with the
highest percentage of educated
adults, the UK’s educated group
increased measurably — more than
4% between 1999 and 2009. Its entire
population only grew 3.5 % between
2000 and 2009. One aspect that the
UK does share with a number of
other countries on this list is relatively
low public expenditure on education
institutions as a percentage of all
educational spending. As of 2008,
69.5 % of spending came from public
sources — the fourth-smallest
amount amongOECD countries.

7. Norway Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 37% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): N/A
GDP per capita: $56,617 (2nd highest)
Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 7.52 %
(14th highest)
Norway has the third-greatest
expenditure on educational
institutions as a percentage of GDP, at
7.3 %. Roughly 23% of that is spent
ontertiary education. In Norway, more
than 60% of all tertiary graduates were
in a bachelor’s program, well more
than the U.S ., which is close to
theOECDaverage of 45%. The country
is one of the wealthiest in the world.
GDP per capita is $56,617 , second
only to Luxembourg in the OECD.

6. South Korea Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 39% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009):
5.3 % (5th highest) GDP per capita:
$29, 101 (13th lowest) Pop. change
(2000 – 2009): 3.70 % (14th lowest)
[More from 24/7 Wall St.: The Worst
Product Flops of 2011 ]
Korea is another standout country for
its recent increase in the percentage of
its population that has a tertiary
education. Graduates increased 5.3%
between 1999 and 2009, the fifth-
highest amongOECD countries. Like
the UK, this rate is greater than the
country’s recent population growth.
Korea is also one of only two
countries — the other being Finland
— in which the most popular fields of
study are not social sciences, business
and law. In Korea, new students
choose to study education,
humanities and arts at the greatest
rates. Only 59.6 % of expenditures on
educational institutions come from
public funds — the second-lowest
rate.

5. New Zealand Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 40% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009):
3.5 % (14th lowest) GDP per capita:
$29, 871 (14th lowest) Pop. change
(2000 – 2009): 11.88% (8 th largest)
New Zealand is not a particularly
wealthy country. GDP per capita is less
than $30,000 , and is the 14th lowest
in the OECD. However, 40% of the
population engages in tertiary
education, the fifth-highest rate in the
world. The country actually has a
rapidly growing population, increasing
11.88% between 2000 and 2009. This
was the eighth-largest increase in the
OECD. Part of the reason for the high
rate of tertiary graduates is the high
output from secondary schools. More
than 90% of residents graduate from
secondary school.

4. United States Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 41% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009):
1.4 % (the lowest) GDP per capita:
$46, 588 (4th highest) Pop. change
(2000 – 2009): 8.68 % (12th highest)
The U.S . experienced a fairly large
growth in population from 2000 to
2009. During the period, the
population increased 8.68% — the
12th highest among OECD countries.
Meanwhile, the rate at which the
share of the population with a tertiary
education is growing has slowed to
an annual rate of 1.4 % — the lowest
among the 34 OECD countries. Just
71% of funding for educational
institutions in the country comes from
public funds, placing the U.S . sixth-
lowest in this measure. Among OECD
countries, the largest share of adults
with a tertiary education live in the
United States — 25.8 %.

3. Japan Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 44% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009):
3.2 % (10th lowest) GDP per capita:
$33, 751 (17th lowest) Pop. change
(2000 – 2009): 0.46 % (6th lowest)
In Japan, 44% of the adult population
has some form of tertiary education.
The U.S . by comparison has a rate of
41%. Japan’s population increased
just 0.46% between 2000 and 2009,
the sixth-slowest growth rate in the
OECD, and the slowest among our list
of 10. Japan is tied with Finland for the
third-highest upper-secondary
graduation rate in the world, at 95%. It
has the third-highest tertiary
graduation rate in the world, but only
spends the equivalent of 1.5 % of GDP
on tertiary education — the 17th
lowest rate in the OECD.

2. Israel Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 45% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009): N/A
GDP per capita: $28,596 (12th lowest)
Pop. change (2000 – 2009): 19.02%
(the highest)
Although there is no data on the
percentage of Israeli citizens with
postsecondary education dating back
to 1999, the numbers going back to
2002 show that growth is slowing
dramatically compared to other
countries. In fact, in 2006, 46% of
adults ages 25 to 64 had a tertiary
education. In 2007 this number fell to
44%. Only 78% of funds spent on
educational institutions in Israel are
public funds. The country is also only
one of three — the other two being
Ireland and Sweden — where
expenditure on educational
institutions as a proportion of GDP
decreased from 2000 to 2008. Israel
also had the largest increase in overall
population, approximately 19% from
2000 to 2009.

1. Canada Pct. population with
postsecondary education: 50% Avg.
annual growth rate (1999 – 2009):
2.3 % (5th lowest) GDP per capita:
$39, 070 (10th highest) Pop. change
(2000 – 2009): 9.89 % (10th highest)
In Canada, 50% of the adult
population has completed tertiary
education, easily the highest rate in
the OECD. Each year, public and
private expenditure on education
amount to 2.5 % of GDP, the fourth-
highest rate in the world. Tertiary
education spending accounts for 41%
of total education spending in the
country. In the U.S. , the proportion is
closer to 37%. In Israel, the rate is
22%. In Canada, nearly 25% of
students have an immigrant
background.

None are good. Go for an Android Phone rather.

Please Read complete info Here:

NEW YORK (AFP ) – Mike Lazaridis
and Jim Balsillie, the co-chief
executives of Research In
Motion, have resigned following
months of investor pressure for
a change at the helm of the
struggling BlackBerry maker.

Chief operating officer Thorsten
Heins was named president and
CEO of the Waterloo, Ontario-
based RIM, which has been
steadily losing market share to
Apple’s iPhone and handsets
powered by Google’s Android
software.

Heins, 54, joined RIM from
German industrial giant Siemens
in December 2007 and served as
senior vice president for
hardware engineering before
becoming chief operating officer
for product and sales in August
2011.

“There comes a time in the
growth of every successful
company when the founders
recognize the need to pass the
baton to new leadership,”
Lazaridis said in a statement
Sunday.

He said RIM was “entering a new
phase, and we felt it was time for
a new leader to take it through
that phase and beyond.”
Barbara Stymiest, 55, was named
chairman of the board, a post
previously also held jointly by
Balsillie and Lazaridis, who
founded RIM in 1984.

Stymiest, who has been on the
RIM board since 2007, has held
senior positions at the Royal
Bank of Canada and was chief
executive of TSX Group Inc.,
operator of the Toronto Stock
Exchange.

The management shakeup
follows a series of setbacks for
RIM including a costly delay in
the launch of the BlackBerry 10,
the commercial failure of the
PlayBook tablet computer and an
embarrassing email outage.
RIM shares have lost nearly
three- quarters of their value
over the past year and the
company has been the subject
of persistent takeover
speculation.

Several large
investors have been clamoring
for a change at the top.
While Lazaridis and Balsillie are
handing over day-to -day control
they are not stepping away
entirely.

Lazaridis, 50, was named vice
chairman of its board and
chairman of a new innovation
committee, offering “strategic
counsel” and promoting the
BlackBerry brand worldwide.

Balsillie, also 50, will remain a
member of the board of
directors. “I agree this is the
right time to pass the baton to
new leadership, and I have
complete confidence in
Thorsten, the management team
and the company,” he said.

Lazaridis said Heins, a native of
Germany who served as chief
technology officer at Siemens,
has “demonstrated throughout
his tenure at RIM that he has the
right mix of leadership, relevant
industry experience and skills to
take the company forward.

“I am so confident in RIM’s
future that I intend to purchase
an additional $50 million of the
company’s shares, as permitted,
in the open market,” he said.
In a statement, Heins said he
was confident that RIM was on
the right path.

“We have a strong balance sheet
with approximately $1 .5 billion
in cash at the end of the last
quarter and negligible debt,” he
said.

“We reported revenue of $5 .2
billion in our last quarter, up 24
percent from the prior quarter,
and a 35-percent year-to-year
increase in the BlackBerry
subscriber base, which is now
over 75 million.”

According to industry tracker
comScore, however, RIM’s share
of the US smartphone market
declined during the three
months ending in November,
while Apple and Android both
made gains.

RIM saw its share of US
smartphone subscribers fall to
16.6 percent at the end of
November from 19.7 percent at
the end of August, according to
comScore.

Android was the top
smartphone platform with a 46.9
percent share of the US market
at the end of November, up
from 43.8 percent.

Apple’s
market share also rose during
the period — by 1.4 percentage
points to 28.7 percent.

I even wonder why they are complaining. N160 is not even good for them.

NNPC should be selling at N300 per litre or more to all South-East and South-South states Since they support the fuel subsidy removal and Never protest.

I think they are rich enough to afford it.

AWKA-
Apart from NNPC mega
stations which sell petrol at N97
per litre, most filing stations in
Anambra State were still selling
at N160 per litre as of Tuesday.
Some of the station attendants
said they were directed to sell at
the old prize because they were
old stock.

Though the queues at the mega
stations were unusually long,
motorists waited patiently for
their turns.

Many workers also reported for
duty on Tuesday and spent the
greater part of the day cleaning
their offices, just as the banks
recorded large number of
customers.

Motor parks in the state were
jam packed as many people who
returned home for Christmas
and New Year celebrations and
were trapped in the wake of the
fuel subsidy strike had started
returning to their various
destinations.

Transport fares were still high as
the commuters coughed N7000
for a journey to Lagos and Abuja
by bus.

Bayooooo, I believe You are An Atheist or A Pagan for Making Such a Silly Post About God.

God Is God. Nothing Moves Him except His Word. No matter what you any one says, He Is Still God.

From there Post, you shall know them. I mean the BB Freaks. Pinging Pinging Ping. Do something better with ur device other than Pinging. Such a Boring Stuff. BB, I still doubt its future.

Peace Out!!

Hmmm Despite all and sundry about BB. Am not even 0.00001% Convince nor moved to use it. BB and Data compression Shey? Just laughing!!!

In Android, When rooted, you can install apps that help maximize your data usage. Am a witness to that. Am a heavy Android downloader.

Anything is virtually achievable in Android. I Ping(Pinging apps as i mentioned earlier), Mail, Wifi, Surf d web ( beautiful), just so much.

Am even doubting d future of BB when Google goes Gaga in Mass producing Their Android and with the new OS for android called "Ice Cream Sandwich", D Ladies and Gurls will have no choice than to sell off their old CrapBerry and Wanna have a taste of this wonderful Technology.

Peace Out!!!!

Yeap. Da bess havnt undastood it. Infact, Andriod, Nothing More Nothing Less.

BB Pings and Does alot as being a Smartphone, No doubt, No condemnation i gave to it, but Still not capable and efficient in satisfying a Tech Geek Like Me.

I Ping with alot of Pinging Apps like Liveprofile, WhatsApp, Ebuddy XMS etc. Just so much more on my Android Phone.

I have seen alot of my friends using top BB phones but Searching through all the features and all of that, what i saw in them is nothing compared to my Beloved Samsung Galaxy Mini.

Nothing Can Move Me to get a BB as i said earlier even though its N1.

Eventhough its giving free to me, am gonna sell it immediately at a give away price to BB freaks and get An Android.

To those that Love it, well, Its ur choice. Am not discoraging you, but Its not capable of Doing some "Unbelievables"

Am Not in anyway exaggerating, its simply a Fact and Even the Truth beyond every doubt.

Peace Out!!!

Really Well. BB is good. I didnt condemn it but am saying its not capable of delivering wot most people need. I made d post out of happiness and d pleasure with satisfaction am deriving from an android phone.
