That not actual 13k nd 85k per secs. It's just illustrations. Get the actual charge if you use such and see the wonders of Nigerian businesses. You'll never benefit from them with ease. Pls do ur real charge calculations. You'll likely feel been used nd deceived this long
No, even the difference between the costliest and cheapest per second rates on Airtel isn't even as wide as the 13k:85k difference. You can prove me wrong on that. I understand that the bonus is technically not as generous as it looks on the surface. But it's not as bad as naysayers make it look. You still get some marginal gain at the end of the day. The goal behind introducing such plans is to encourage more airtime consumption with the delusion of "my airtime na water." And it's working for them.

You even get mind to be doing ovajara or fake awoof packages from this scam telecoms. Seems you're not informed. They only makes more money from those awoof packages. That 800 they dash you, check the amount they charge you per sec on such and then check the amount they charges when you don't do such awoof after call. Lol. You were not informed.


For example, this guys will charge you 13k per seconds on normal recharge and then charge you 85k per seconds on those awoof packages. When you place your calculations well. You'll discover the bloated 800% awoof takes more from you in false pretense than the normal recharge
Yes, the per second rates are increased, but not as much as the bonus multiple.

Ovajara gives you 800% bonus. The increment from 13k to 85k is just 650%. Still a win - a small one, though.

First case is still understandable. He might have had plans to meet someone for a business deal that did NOT pan out.

He had a VIABLE excuse for getting stranded.

But the second guy is plain MADNESS!
People like that should NEVER be given handouts.

A poor man found himself an EQUALLY poor woman and they bleeped raw until they made a baby whom they can give NOTHING but more poverty.

That's NOT just poverty.
That is STUPIDITY!
And WICKEDNESS too.

Having a child when you know you CANNOT take of a child is EVIL!

Both of them WILLINGLY signed up to get hitched to their POOR selves. But that child DIDN'T.

Condom is JUST #300. Get it and don't make your IRRESPONSIBILITY the problem of other people.

"I don't like condom" is NOT for people who are suffering from perennial poverty.

It's one thing to be a well-to-do couple who had their child/children BEFORE they fell on hard times.

It's ANOTHER thing for a pauper who moved from his family house to a face-me-i-face-you apartment and still DEFAULTS on rent to IMPREGNATE a fellow pauper.

That's MADNESS!

I HATE people like that.
They deserve ZERO sympathy or assistance.
Oga, abeg STFU with your warped orientation about life! It's either you're still too young or you're just being plain myopic.

See how you confidently spewed toxic bile about someone you don't know. You have zero knowledge of what forced that guy into such a condition, and yet you could type an epistle of nonsense about him. Do you know if he was financially comfortable at the time he married and had his kids?

Do you know how many people the coronavirus lockdown (as an example) turned into paupers overnight? Do you know how many people become broke suddenly just because they or their loved ones were hit by money-guzzling diseases like cancer, kidney failure, etc?

So, in your cretinous mind, anyone who is poor and has kids should not be helped just because of a stupid blanket conclusion you've drawn about ALL of them?

See, if you want to give, give. If you're not willing to, just move on and stop forming opinions about people and their circumstances. It doesn't make you wiser or smarter. Just pray life doesn't throw some crazy curveballs at you.
HealthRe: British Lady Recovers From Stroke With An Italian Accent by Basic(m): 10:37pm On Feb 04, 2025
NothingDoMe:
This google? 👇
When someone has any form of stroke (be it TIA, ischaemic, or hemorrhagic), there's an accompanying alteration of the mental status, meaning person will not be aware of what happened. But when the person eventually recovers even if partially (if they do), they suddenly become fully aware of the paralyzed state they are in. Only the people around them witness the events accompanying the stroke -- collapsing, slurred speech, etc.

So, no matter the type of stroke, even in TIA (called "mini strokes"wink there are ALWAYS signs that are visible to whoever is around. Yes, the person himself won't be aware. That's what I meant by "a stroke can never go unnoticed".

As for the source you posted, it's not giving you the accurate information by the way. It's saying you can have silent strokes and not notice as if there are certain strokes that you will notice when you're having them. There's no stroke that leaves you fully aware when it strikes. You can only become aware of its after-effects -- and that's for those who ever regain enough consciousness for that.

PS. Please, for God's sake, always avoid the "AI overview" when using Google. The feature often generates answers that are not correct. See the attached screenshot for the contradiction to what it showed you earlier.

This is different from what you wrote up there, if oil shake production is zero as you depicted why is the US the biggest oil producer?
There is nothing like producing for domestic market and producing for international market, indeed you are a novice. Ranking of producers are based solely on total production and not whether yiu are producing for local refineries majorly or producing for foreign refineries. The US also supply crude WTI to dangote refinery and others and also receive from others too.

Companies inti oil shale fracking are ongoing, currently in the US, oil shale production peaked in 2023 and is still going on. Don't know where you are getting your information from, that a few company went into economic crises because of production costs exceeding the price of crude oil in the international market doesn't mean all production ended in the US go and do your research. This is why the US is the biggest oil producer in the world
Please bring out the part of my post where I stated that shale oil production is ZERO.

Secondly, if there's truly "nothing like producing for domestic market and producing for international market" as you have stated, why is the US still dependent on Saudi oil despite being the world's largest domestic producer? I hope you know that the US is one of the biggest buyers of Saudi oil?

Get this clearly: You can produce as much oil as you want, but if it's majorly for domestic consumption (or for whatever reason, you still find it cheaper to import than produce yours) and you still even depend on additional oil from other countries, you have little to no say in the dynamics of the global oil market. Yes, the US still exports oil, but they are not even among the top 10 in the world, which places them clearly outside the league of major market players. Saudi exports over 500% of the oil US exports!!

Again, the US can't say a word about the global oil market where the likes of Saudi and Russia are!

And back to the comment that prompted my first reply on this post: US is not even among the top 10 countries in terms of expats and annual tourists to Saudi Arabia. So, I wonder why Saudi's recent moves could have been influenced in any way by the US.

You claim not to know where I got my information from. Why not Google for your yourself and show me anything contrary that you can find, my "enlightened" friend?

Do your research and get your details right, then figure out who the true novice is. LOL!

You are a novice as to the things concerning oil and gas interests in the world, stop showing your ignorance here.

The US is the number one oil producer in the world for the past one decade with 13.4 million barrels per day production capacity, so what crush and what plans of becoming a major oil producer are you talking about? The US has always been a major oil producer since the discovery of oil by drake in 1859 till date. Shale oil exploration and production that has been going on for years or is there another you are talking about? Guy make una dey read information before typing it here slike say na correct thing.
Producing for consumption or for sale? We are talking the global market here, not domestic consumption. Saudi the remains the world's largest oil exporter. US wanted to use fracking as a means to wrestle global oil market control from the likes of Saudi and they got burnt. Or how come many fracking firms in the US went bankrupt as soon as Saudi flooded the global market with oil and cut prices by over 60% some years back.?

Read up, Mr. self-proclaimed Veteran. And when you do, read between the lines to get technical details right. And avoid rushing to call others "novice" just because what they shared is different from what you know. You could end up being the ignorant one. Peace!

Wow never believed from yesteryears a day would come in Saudi where women would be allowed to leave their head open and their bodies seen… US have really watered down Saudi strong Islamic posture in the past 20 years and very soon will become like Dubai to attract tourists because they know that oil is being phased out gradually for other alternative sources of power
Dey play! The same Saudi that single-handedly crushed USA's plans to become a major oil exporter through the shale oil revolution. Saudi is becoming liberal, no doubt about that. But the USA got NOTHING to do with that. Saudi simply wants to attract high-paying tourists and probably investors from wherever they can come from.

Una dey craze!!! Petrol increased more than 300%, una no do anything. But you want a company not to increase it's price by 50%.

Even electricity tariff increased more than 200%.

Clowns, leave telecoms alone!

I don't even understand why government is putting a cap on what a private telecom wants to charge but they allow petrol to be selling at any price.
You're among the only few Nigerians who are still able to think straight. Emotional outbursts everywhere. They don't want to spend more on airtime and data and they want to peg their bias on the fact that government is holding these telecom companies by the throat.

These companies maintain their equipment, pay staff salaries, sponsor CSRs, and are still accountable to their investors/shareholders, yet Nigerians want them to continue running as near-charities. The same Nigerians who are now paying x5 for transport and many other necessities. Yet, many of them who are also into buying and selling or rendering services know how much they now sell their wares or charge for their services compared to before.

The government should let these companies breathe. The same government raised fuel price from N200 to N1000, allowed customs to adjust duty as they like, and introduced stamp duty and other ridiculous stuff. Now, they want to stiffle telecom companies who also need to adjust in line with economic realities created by the same government.
