Phones › Re: Between Airtel 5g Odu, Mtn 5g Odu And Mtn Fibre by bigl: 11:12pm On Aug 18
Says whohuh

Most people just open their mouth and talk about stuffs they know nothing about or never used.

My type (5g router Zlt x20) and the Odu are unlimited ... I've seen a guy used behind 1tb (used about 1.5tb) which to me, is an overkill for 30k a month. Anything 600gb is more than fair.

Been using mine (5g router) with the 20mbps plan since Nov 30 2023 and so far, no issues except some few coughs and until this August issue which seems to be airtel trying to link their infrastructure with Starlink (they didn't admit though).

And its still working .... No mind those people who are shouting "its not unlimited" ...

They simply don't know what they are talking about ...

Zealoy:
i thought they said Airtel odu is not unlimited

babatee1985:
Hello house, I am a father of three children and I mistakenly got my wife pregnant again which I don't want and I've told her to let get rid of it because the pregnancy is just two weeks old and it is yet to form but she insisted that she's going to born it. I told her to reason with me because my salary is just 150k monthly while she teaches in a school. I told her the financial burden will be too much on us but she said no. She said God will provide for us to take care of our children but I'm working with the reality of things and not something that is not certain. I've been sleeping in my place of work for days now because I'm not happy at all. I'm just confused and I don't know what to do. Any advice pls?

Romance › Re: Boring Girls by bigl: 11:48pm On Aug 11
Some have a lot to say but just not good with striking up or maintaining a conversation and a lot of factors are responsible for such.

U can help them by maybe buying her a book or teaching her how to do such ...

Even me, due to some factors that affected me while in my teens, didn't know how to strike up a convo or maintain one till i came across a book and that helped me on that.

Its not a crime for them to not know ... life happens to everyone ...


Johnames:
Please, how do you guys deal with boring girls. Girls that cannot hold simple conversations. They can't chat properly.
I'm currently dating a girl, that every minute she is calling me up and down. But she expects me to do all the talks. In the past I have dated a girl that is interesting and sweet. Please I need opinion on how to deal with someone like this. Because I'm tired already.

Check your area and see which network is giving good speed before u run any subscription.


Secondly, stay away from 2gb, 3gb sub .... try dey run speed based sub like that airtel 20mbps so you won't be constrained by "my data is about to finish" syndrome ...

I use airtel 20mbps and we've been on this romance relationship since Nov 2023.

I dey use 300gb up monthly ... sometimes, 850gb ... which isn't bad for 30k

Wetin u dey use 1tb dohuh

No be oversyllabus be that?

In all fairness, the 1tb for 30k monthly is a good deal ... Anything over, is just "passing your boundary" ...

I've heard one crazy guy use about 1.5tb

eepeepook:
Use more than 1TB in August then report back.
Phones › Re: Apart From Me, Who Else Noticed This About MTN Data? by bigl: 8:33pm On Jul 31
Says who??

Been using my airtel 5g with 20mbps unlimited plan since 2023 ... Once i pay my monthly fee, dem no send how much i use.

If u need higher speed, pay more ... or migrate to the ODU thingy but ensure network is ok where u wan use am...

Been using an average of 300 to 700gb monthly cos it powers my android tv box, laptops, and other devices ...

These day and age, buying 10gb, 20gb no pay cos those network providers will cheat u ...

Speed based plans is the way to go



eepeepook:
There is no true unlimited plan in Nigeria. Try Starlink.
Romance › Re: Foul Smell May Be The Cause Of Some Sexless Marriage by bigl: 11:11am On Jul 29
The foul smell is just a small fraction of why some would never have anything to do with a lady again.

Most times, its attitude.

While the supposed lady is giving bad vibes to the guy, there's another lady, who is homely, inviting and with positive vibes ... most guys would go with this lady na not the one that's making u feel terrible about yourself.

U know, "Inu didun lo n mu, ori ya" ...

As regards the smell, its most likely, an untreated infection or most times, a badly done or incomplete abortion ...

ebubeson:
Do you know if there is any strange foul smell during sex or before sex, it may cause a psychological issue that may prevent a spouse from ever thinking of sex again with their partner? They may never have sex again with their partner until maybe if there is a cure to that experience.

As a spouse, please never let your partner ever perceive any strange odour from you that may be traumatic.
Health › Re: I've Been Having Insomnia For Over A Year by bigl: 12:11am On Jul 26
Wow!!!!

Glad to hear that my post helped!

Its terrible not to be able to sleep.

Well, it all depends ...

But personally, i'll say, keep taking a warm cup of the horlicks for some days or weeks (if budget permits) and i think the body will take things up from there.

You know, the reason behind not being able to sleep didn't just start in 1 day ... same way, i believe it will take some time for the body to adjust and begin to fall asleep naturally.

You're always welcome ... We gather dey

yewit37486:
Just wanted to say thank you for this post. I read your comment and tried horlicks yesterday and slept very well for the first time in a long while. I had to read up about it and saw it is rich in vitamins and minerals including magnesium. I wanted to ask, does one have to use it everyday, or does the body then adjust to sound sleep after a while. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Same here ooooo ... I've been switching from 5g to 4g/3g; switching APN in my router admin dashboard for days ... i thought its my area but now that i see una comments, my mind has calm down knowing fully well, its a general thing.

Seriously, these network providers needs to be sanctioned and made to pay for shitty services they are pushing out.

I pitty those still buy 2g, 10gb data sha cos imagine, downloading a 9.5gb file and network goes bad at 95%huh

No be waste be that?

Hungrychicken:
The internet connection from Airtel and MTN is so bad in my area, that it's becoming un-useable. I remember months ago when this problem started, just like this. I thought it had been resolved. I guess it was just a temporary fix, and that whatever was the issue is now starting to come up again.

According to these ISPs; It was a diesel/petrol, cost of operations problem. I'm guessing it was never fully solved, and now we're going back to the point we never left.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Career › Re: Can These Be Enough For Me To Survive As A Remote Worker? by bigl: 11:32am On May 21
I'll ask, which aspect of tech do u have in mind?

Considering some requirements, you have a good laptop and desktop, electricity supply is awesome ....

I'll advice u to fortify yourself with a petrol generator and power station, just incase nepa does their magic) ...

whats left is skill acquisition which is the most import crown jewel of the matter cos the computers won't operate themselves.

Decide which aspect of tech u want to get into and maybe i can help u streamline and point to 1 or 2 materials to help jumpstart your move.


ManLikeL:
Good morning everyone.

I have no idea where to post this but I need massive recommendations and guidance.

Consider this question the yearning of a technical layman so your suggestions pieced into bits could be earnestly appreciated and understood.

I want to go into tech and specifically I want to be a remote worker.
Nothing outside of my home interests me and the idea of earning in naira seems a bit un-enough at the moment.
What kind of skills should I acquire in the tech world?

Trust me, I can be patient enough to wait it out till it starts yielding so believe me, I'm not expecting a quick money making scheme kind of impactation. I'm ok with slow and steady, but I want it to be dependable enough that when it picks, then it peaks and will be sustainable.
At the moment, my estate has 20-hour power supply at the minimum. I have; 1) HP ZBook Fury16 G9-Intel Core I7, 16GB Ram and 1T SSD.
2) HP EliteBook 840 G9 16GB Intel Core i7 SSD 512GB.
3) I have a well upgraded HP mini Prodesk cpu (16/512GB).
And a mini power station to keep these running for a few hours if there is ever an outage.


I want to believe these systems should be able to handle any kind of tech duties.

I'm without a job currently and I don't want to even start searching for jobs although I have a few savings to sustain me for a few years since I'm single.
I want to make money legally from the shores of my abode.

Eeya ... That's sad ... For u to have come to this conclusion, i think you've really had it to the brim and can't take it anymore.

I'll suggest separation first ... Atleast, to cool down your mind/body while u plan your final exit strategy.

It used to be around 80 to 120k around that 2016 ... but now, those lawyers no wan hear anything below 450k oooo ... And its also location dependent.

You might be lucky to maybe have a friend of a friend who might be willing to help u with the process for something budget friendly.

If na island or abuja lawyer u go get, you'll nearly sell your kidney to pay cos dem go use bill wound and injure you.

So, consider the separation thingy for now till you're really sure u wanna split off from your partner or maybe you want to settle down with another person.

Phones › Re: Things Killing Your Data Without You Knowing by bigl: 11:26pm On May 14
This post applies to those who are still subscribing for 10gb, 20gb data plans and not for those using unlimited (no cap) data plans.


Uniquesoji:
If you live in Nigeria, there’s a high chance you’ve said this before:

“How did my data finish this fast?”

One minute you still have several gigabytes left. The next minute, you’re getting low data warnings and wondering whether your phone is secretly downloading movies overnight.

What makes it even more frustrating is that many people aren’t even using their phones heavily when this happens. No serious downloads. No all-night streaming. Yet the data disappears faster than expected.


The truth is, several things quietly consume data in the background without most people realizing it.
Some are normal. Some are avoidable. But once you understand them, you’ll begin to see why data drains so quickly today.

1. Apps Running in the Background
This is one of the biggest hidden data killers.
Even when you’re not actively using apps like:
• Instagram
• TikTok
• Facebook
• Snapchat
• Gmail

they still refresh in the background.

Your phone constantly checks for:
• Notifications
• Messages
• App updates
• New content

And all of that quietly consumes data.
Sometimes your phone is using the internet more than you are.


2. Auto-Playing Videos on Social Media
You open Instagram to reply to one message.
Next thing, you’ve watched:
• Reels
• TikTok clips
• Facebook videos
• Comedy skits
• Random interviews

The dangerous part is this:
• Most apps now autoplay videos automatically.
• You don’t even need to click anything anymore.

According to Google’s Android Data Usage documentation, video content remains one of the highest consumers of mobile data globally.


3. HD Streaming Everywhere
Many people don’t realize their streaming apps are set to HD by default.
And higher quality means heavier data usage.

For example:
• SD video uses less data
• HD consumes significantly more
• 4K burns through data very quickly

That “small YouTube session” may actually cost more data than expected.


4. Poor Network Quality Can Waste Data Too
This part surprises many people.
Bad internet can actually increase data consumption.

When your connection is unstable:
• Videos buffer repeatedly
• Downloads restart
• Pages reload multiple times
• Apps reconnect constantly

All those repeated attempts consume extra data.

This is one reason many users are beginning to pay attention not just to internet speed, but also stability. In areas where fiber internet is available, some users say providers like LuliFiber help reduce this frustration because the connection tends to remain more stable during heavy usage.


5. Automatic Phone Updates
Modern smartphones update apps silently in the background.

Sometimes:
• WhatsApp updates
• Instagram updates
• System updates start downloading automatically
• And these files can be huge.

Some updates are hundreds of megabytes.
Some system updates exceed 1GB.

If auto-update is enabled on mobile data, your subscription may disappear quickly without warning.


6. Cloud Backup Services
Many phones automatically backup:
• Photos
• Videos
• Contacts
• Files

to services like:
• Google Photos
• iCloud
• OneDrive

So after recording videos or taking many pictures, your phone may quietly upload everything online.

And yes… your data pays for it.


7. Multiple Devices Connected at Once
A lot of people blame their network provider when the real issue is simple:

Too many devices are connected.

Think about a typical home today:
• Smart TVs
• Laptops
• Phones
• Tablets
• CCTV systems
• Gaming consoles

All online simultaneously.

Even if you personally are not browsing heavily, another device on the network probably is.


8. Music Streaming Uses More Data Than Expected
Apps like:
• Spotify
• Audiomack
• Apple Music
• Boomplay

consume more data than many people realize.

Especially when:
• Streaming quality is high
• Songs auto-download
• Offline syncing is enabled

It may not feel heavy at first, but over time it adds up.


9. Wi-Fi Sharing Without Realizing the Impact
Some people casually share hotspot access with:
• Friends
• Neighbors
• Family members

Then suddenly someone starts:
• Streaming videos
• Updating apps
• Downloading large files

And before long:
“Who finished my data?”


10. Mobile Data Is Struggling to Match Modern Internet Usage
This is the bigger conversation happening quietly across Nigeria.

Internet usage has changed completely.

People now use the internet for:
• Remote work
• Gaming
• Streaming
• Online classes
• Video meetings
• Smart home devices

Mobile data can become stressful when it’s expected to handle all of that daily.

That’s why more people are gradually moving toward unlimited broadband and fiber internet options instead of constantly monitoring data balances.


Why More People Are Exploring Fiber Internet
One thing people love about reliable fiber internet is freedom.

Instead of:
• Turning data on and off
• Avoiding videos
• Monitoring usage every hour
• Calculating every megabyte

you simply use the internet normally.

In Lagos especially, providers like LuliFiber are gradually becoming part of conversations around more stable home and office internet setups, particularly among users tired of constantly buying mobile data bundles.

And honestly, once someone experiences stable unlimited internet, going back to strict data management feels difficult.


Simple Ways to Reduce Data Drain
If you still rely heavily on mobile data, these tips can help:
• Turn off autoplay on social media
• Restrict background app refresh
• Disable auto-updates on mobile data
• Lower streaming quality
• Monitor apps consuming the most data
• Use Wi-Fi whenever possible

Small adjustments can make a noticeable difference.


The scary thing about data consumption today is that most of it happens silently.

Not because you’re overusing the internet.
But because modern apps, devices, and platforms are designed to stay constantly connected.

And as internet usage continues to grow in Nigeria, many people are beginning to realize that the real solution may not simply be buying more data…
…but finding a better internet experience entirely.

So honestly:

What do you think kills your data the fastest?
Family › Re: My Wife Baths With My Daughter by bigl: 7:03am On Apr 29
Its ok for her to bath with the daughter.

I bath with my son and its a good way of them getting used to the adult body.

My son once asked me (recently o, after all these years), why i have hair on my "wee wee" ... and i answered him, its part of growth; when he gets to certain age, he will also have it.

He had asked about mustache and beards and the likes.

Its even better they ask you than ask outsiders who will want to show/explain to them and end up abusing them.

Just ensure you answer your daughters question of curiosity with wisdom/maturity and ensure they understood.

Though, a 4 year old will likely not ask ... Its when they get to 5 6 or 7 some become aware of some stuffs.

Fathers > son
Mothers > daughter
Father can bath daughter but not undressed! Same applies to mothers bathing their son.

Phones › Re: How Are You Guys Coping With Data Costs? Just Found Something Interesting by bigl: 9:09pm On Mar 27
Buying 1gb or 2gb or even 150gb these days is the fastest way to go bankrupt!

Its always better to migrate to speed based plans that affords u to pay a flat fee and get unlimited internet data which is still the best thing ever.

Airtel offers that for 30k monthly and also, 25k for the ODU.

Mtn has theirs as well - Mtn fibreX for 25k monthly.

I personally use that airtel, and its been since 2023 Nov. And its been heaven cos i can afford to download anything i want or watch youtube or other platforms whenever and however i like and also use for work.

If you have plans of going these route and you're like 2 or 3 staying say within same compound or house near each other (side by side), u can team up to split the bill.

Those 10gb for 2k or 100gb for 20k will put a big hole in your finances cos i've tried it before, e no just pay me.

So, give the speed based plans a trial.

Francixx0x:
Honestly, data is becoming too expensive 😅
I just saw that MTN 1GB is now around ₦480 and it got me thinking...

How are you guys managing your data these days?
Do you:
Stick with normal network plans?
Use VTU platforms?
Or just reduce usage?

I recently tested one cheaper option and it worked fine (instant delivery too), but I’m still observing it.

I got an admission offer at Hull University which I have what it takes to secure a visa and pay half tuition fees but I am concerned about the news coming out from the media especially about the Nigerian immigrants crying about inability to meet up with the balance of their tuition fees and lack of job opportunities. I don’t know what else to do if anyone can advise me and guide me on what to do. Is there any way or any how a company that gives out loans for this purpose exists? I will want someone to advise me as a brother and sister.
