PhonesRe: Airtel ODU: My Experience As A First Time User by alkines(m): 6:52pm On May 31
My experience with the Airtel ODU should be like 75% good. It has its off days but largely i have been enjoying it for almost 6months now.

The installer that came to install mine wanted to install it somewhere, i was the one who told him where there is good signal in my house which worked perfectly.

The installers don’t know your house like you do, you should know where network is the strongest in your house and instruct them to install it there.

I get up to 20mbps in remote area.

Hi good evening, just to add to what the privious poster wrote
- 2003/2005 Lexus Es300/330- it’s a v6 but also not as economical on fuel has the vehicles above . Solid drivetrain though
- Honda Civic 2006/2008- a very good alternative to a corolla, nice cockpit and economical.
- Toyota matrix 2003-2006 - shares most component with a corolla of the same model year. Quite spacious.
Things to look out for
- make sure to go with a mechanic who can inspect engine and gear conditions. Check for engine smoke on start up ( mind you a vehicle would normally steam on first initial start up especially during colder climates)
- listen for engine noise ( ticking/ knocks ) at various rpms
- vehicle should be driven to make sure transmission selects fine
- check undercarriage for rust
- check through oil filler cap for intense sludge
- check vin to see vehicle has not been flooded before
- get a scanner that can scan at least engine, transmission and ABS module
- get a car with a good body too
God bless you for this sir,…I really do appreciate this because to fall victim of troublesome car easy like ABC

PoliticsRe: New E-Visa System Processed 14,000 Applications In Six Weeks ~ Tunji-Ojo by alkines(m): 8:24am On Jul 01, 2025
yang:
Pure propaganda

I was in Nigeria in April and May

Had to pay 250 euro for each person for visa plus 300 euros processing fee

Total cost 800 euros

Nigeria is one of the most expensive countries to visit in the world


Just check your airline ticket to see the fees and taxes

It's incredible that a country that needs so much foreign exchange and revenue from visitors makes itself so hard to visit

Every new minister has a new e Visa application process

So they have like 10 different visa application portals and none of them is working

I have one question for the Propaganda minister

What is the website or web portal to apply for the e Visa he is talking about?

The evisa I know currently is conditional on business visit and based on reciprocity
You cant call it propaganda because he said 6 weeks. 6 weeks means it only started in the later part of May to all of June.

Your application might have actually come before the six weeks period. Let’s hear from people who have applied or gotten approval in between ending of May to June.

I can remember when the minister said we would be able to get out passport within 2-3 weeks we all called him a joke and fast forward, passport processing now takes 3 weeks max infact 2 weeks standard now.

I can’t say about the application fee but the transparency of getting the visa will be more easier now, we can bank on the information based on his track record of the passport processing.

Hope this is true! But why those immigration officers at the capture office (Alausa) keep writing almost 2months interval for collection date on a piece of paper.
its 100% true. My sister did hers at alimosho and the passport was ready under 2 weeks too
TravelRe: Applied For My Passport Online (DIY).. Updated (Passport Received) by alkines(m): 1:31pm On Jun 13, 2025
If you registered and it been upto 3 weeks just go to the office your passport is highly likely to be ready.

I did my biometric 2nd of May and it was issued 15th May. That about 2 weeks only.

NB (Note But): Alausa Ikeja office

Real Madrid signed Mbappe for over £120 million and got Trent for free! That's why the fans are mad. They expected him to sign another contract so the club can make money off his sale but which team is going to put money on a defender that gets dribbled past anyhow? undecided
where you day get your news? Madrid signed mbappe on free transfer.

RomanceRe: There Is Nothing Like An Igbo Coup In 1966. See What Happened by alkines(m): 9:41pm On Apr 25, 2025
To a large extent, the OP is correct!

For a long time I have always thought that it was an Igbo coup. In fact, most storytellers and most books pointed toward the fact that it was an igbo coup! But it was never an Igbo coup!

Major Kaduna Nzeogwu himself was more of a northerner than an easterner; he was very close to Sir Ammadou Bello (who he later killed himself). These young officers were fighting against the major political power of that time in the persons of Tafawa Balewa, Akintola, Sir Ammadou Bello, etc., as they accused them of corruption by throwing Awolowo/b] in prison at the time.

Aguiyi ironsi was also marked for execution but was lucky enough not to be at home but at an event. In the takeover speech by Kaduna Nzeogwu at the time was that 'They were going to free awolowo and give him military backing for 6 months.'

They were fighting to free Awolowo and support him, but the escape of Aguiyi Ironsi from execution during that coup gave it the nickname 'Igbo Coup'. However, Aguiyi ironsi was later executed in a countercoup by northern soldiers 6 months after the January 1966 coup.

For what purpose?
Exams?
Just to speak the language?
To find a job?

These objectives determine how much effort and resources you would have to put into it ranging from self study to hiring a tutor or signing up for French classes (e.g Alliance Française)
