Great100000:
Airtel Nigeria has joined MTN Nigeria to raise call and internet plans by 50 percent one week after MTN Nigeria implemented a similar hike.

This is part of telecom operators’ upward review of prices following the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) approval of a 50 percent tariff hike in the industry. Under this new pricing regime, Airtel has replaced its cheapest monthly data plan of 1.2GB plan for N1,000 with 2GB for N1,500.

Other changes include 3GB for N2,000 (from 1.5GB at N1,200), 4GB for N2,500 (formerly 3GB at N1,500), and 8GB for N3,000 (formerly 4.5GB at N2,000). Other adjustments include 10GB for N4,000 (formerly 6GB at N2,500), 13GB for N5,000 (from 10GB at N3,000), 18GB for N6,000 (formerly 15GB at N4,000), and 25GB for N8,000 (replacing 18GB at N5,000).

Call rates have been bumped up to 25 kobo per second from about 18 lobo per second. Like MTN, Airtel has left some tariff plans untouched. For instance, the 5GB plan/week for N1,500 remains unchanged.

This hike in tariff is meant to support “the ability of operators to continue investing in infrastructure and innovation, ultimately benefiting consumers through improved services and connectivity, including better network quality, enhanced customer service, and greater coverage.”

However, experts have noted that it may further strain consumers’ pockets. According to Bismarck Rewane, chief executive officer of Financial Derivatives Company, the hike promises to benefit operators but will put additional strain on consumers’ pockets, possibly “resulting in reduced usage from consumers.”

I do understand your situation but be rest assured, I'm not judging u or chasing people away but being real with u but if u choose to see it from the negative side of things, no problem!

But this attitude you're putting up, isn't the way at all ...

Koikoi123:
There's no risky involved in sending a token of help to a stranger. Your account and bank history is not meant for your family members. It's for payment of necessities nd all. I don't know where you got this from. Nobody is asking anyone to send in a big Ransome
money as help to people. You guys will always jump in into something you weren't called to, don't understand your input to my plea on my thread . Are you helping me or pursuing people away from assisting. Nawao. Don't really understand how you being judgemental to my thread came about
Family › Re: S by bigl: 6:54pm On Feb 17, 2025
Toor ... whatever ... but sha ... everybody is going through at the moment ... And most will wish to help but sending money now to account of someone not known will be considered risky ...

Wish u well bro!!!

Someone who comes to seek help from strangers must have done same from family nd friends with no hope coming. About 3m you can ask the evil bird who made such statement to clarify whom she/he was referring to. Can't really recall how and whom he/she made a comment of 3m on my thread

Thinkpadshuh Well, whatever rocks your boat sha!!!

I have a thing against night browsing now cos of how it disrupts my sleeping pattern!!!

Why should i stay awake cos i wan use free internet? I don pass that level jare .... I did that for some years ... cos i wan download 5gb file ..

Now, i download 24gb files easily ...

I prefer being able to use my internet whenever i want to and not being constraint to night ....

How much the spectranet monthly and whats the data amount that comes with it?

qtguru:
That is why I always go for Thinkpads, no need to spend excess cash on laptop, as for Data I would think spectranet might be an affordable plan especially with night free browsing.

Airtel unlimited data still saving the day!

Since for my house, we plenty wey wan watch youtube, facebook videos, instagram, tiktok, download heavy files ... mtn isn't an option!

The airtel still works veeeeeeery fine!

20k per month!!!

Programmers/Tech guys should arrange themselves ... cut down excessive spending, work on smart ways to invest the little money they have ...

Nothing like buying a 4 million naira laptop when all u have it 6M (except you've just signed new contract thats worth about 5M) ...

Until you're sure of another source that commensurate with your spending, don't blow that money o!

I got this same debit alert yester day night and i didn't buy anything on Jumia for a while!!!!

mickool:
This is exactly what happened to me now, this sunday morning by 6;13am .
I received a debit of 3,812.00 and I was imagining what o bought a.d who used my atm card.
So I quickly went to Google to search for E-cart internet service and I discovered its linked to Jumia.
Then o remembered I bought something from jumia on Wednesday.
I received an OTP that day and I was charged for the order.
I never knew that the money wasn't removed that very day.
I don't know why they have to delayed till today?
While I was searching for questions about the debit, Google links me to this morning on nairaland and I started reading comments.
So it's something you may have bought or ordered online that you have forgotten.
Thank you the post it helped me quench my curiosity.

Hello everyone,
This security guy called Rapheal from Ajao estate, Oshodi was sent to get table water for a neighbour. The neighbour gave him his ATM card. After some minutes the neighbour kept receiving alerts amounting to more than 1 million naira. He hasn't been found since then.
His phone has been switched off too.

The last transaction was done in Ikorodu.
Please, any information leading to his arrest would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Nairaland General › Re: How Do I Rise Up After Wasting 10 Years Of My Life. by bigl: 11:13pm On Dec 11, 2024
The no 1 step to making an effective change in one's life is to admit that you made mistakes over the years and that, you have done so, its easier to change.

Now to gaining back lost years, i'll be very straight forward with you: you can't!

What you should focus on is doing what you shoulda done over the years ....

Be very strategic in all that you do ...

You're even lucky to have made the changes at 27!

To people like us who were subjected to serious emotional and physical abuse as how boys, weren't so lucky!

Find out what you wish to do, or get a mentor who won't just force his wishes on u but will help u navigate your way faster and start now!

I'll advise u get this sam adeyemi's book titled: Start with what you have from where you are.... Get the paper back so u can be serious!

As regards digital skills, pls, learn as many as u can but learn one thing, after you've mastered like 70% upwards, then add some other skills to it!

Gone are the days u just know 1 thing and its ok ... the state of the economy doesn't really favour that again!

May God help u on your journey and new phase!

durentboi:
I'm 27 this year.

I've always been a bright kid from my childhood. But since I turned 16, I gave into vices, stealing, fighting, alcoholism and different sexual acts.

I wasted my years. I could have learned online skills or even real life skills.

I just started learning digital marketing. How can I make up for all this lost time??

Just why me!!
Family › Re: Learn From My Mistake That Has Cost Me Alot In Life. by bigl: 12:41am On Dec 09, 2024
Too bad, u learnt the hard way but its ok ... such hard lessons should knock some level of realities of life into you bro ... I learnt this the hard way ... catching bullets, grenades and even scud missiles grin grin grin for unserious family members but what did i get out of it? Noooooothing!!!!

See, stop catching bullets for anybody who's unserious with their live o.... leave them to take full responsibilities for their silly actions ....

You are only useful when u can provide and u see, family matters, is a very sensitive matter ... like someone said, u must learn to be stingy if u want to make it in life ... always remember that ....

No matter the amount u spend on family, if you're not careful, whenever u need them to raise u up from trenches, they will not be there ...

By the way, you said u have just finished serving or something, have u considered getting a job?

Try to apply to banks, private companies, et al ... so as to earn a constant pay which is what u need to atleast rise ... business these days, na 50/50 ... it may thrive or die .... and if it does die, your investment goes down the drain....

Try get somewhere to be going and earning something to keep body and soul together ...

Alongside, try as much as possible to learn a skill (digital skill oooo) ...so u can earn additional income ... it does take time but if u are serious or if hunger hammer u well well, u will discover what to do grin grin grin ....

Cos times are seriously hard and gone are the days they will tell u, once u know one thing or have a job, just have a razor sharp focus!

U see that focus on one thing ehn, na him go finish u ...

So, try to get a job .. if it involves u relocating, pls do ... you are not a tree...

I believe in you and i also believe you will succeed!

Ireee oooo
Godwins4:
Good day my people.
This thread is an offshoot of the one I created earlier on seeking advice on how to tackle family issue, which I got the advice I needed, unfortunately I never knew it was already too late for me to act, you can check the thread here.
https://www.nairaland.com/8253637/need-advice-elders-forum-crucial

I wish I knew that as a man, you are only valued when you spend and spend. Though I never regretted giving to my family, but I did that at the detriment of my own future. Now everyone has moved on without knowing whether I live or I die.
The small business I was managing collapsed, I called home to inform my mother of the hardship I am currently facing here, All she could warn me is how I spend on women, that I should be careful with them. Me that she knew quite alright that I am the very opposite of what she insinuated. Now everybody has left me behind, I should have focused on building myself first. I don't know why people with good heart suffer heartbreak the most.
The issue is that I don't have anybody to cry for help. Pls I really need help on how to survive this situation, I don't mind doing menial job just to survive, if I can get okada on hire purchase or keke I will appreciate, or if anyone can help me with job, I rounded up my NYSC last year in the North , and decided to stay and do small business but the business failed due to my mistake. Seun, mods, my fellow nairalanders please help your boy. I need a job and I can relocate to any state to start life afresh, since there is life, there is hope. I pray that I see help here, to eat now is a problem for me, obviously this Xmas celebration is not for me because I am too rich to afford rice and meat now. Pls help me 🙏

Na waa for u o ... you're still here asking?

First thing you shoulda do is to move the rest of the money to another account that's more secure or else, this same person will likely withdraw the rest of the funds in minutes unless u block that atm card via the app.

Good day Nairalanders...abeg you people should assist me here before i can decide on what next to do...my dad is elderly and not too strong to go about bank wahala. ..

From what the seller told me, you have to buy both the router they are selling and the sim.

U may now decide to put the sim inside another router o and it will work ... infact, it will work inside your phone sef ... but they are not selling just the sim (unless they decide to now sell sim only with that plan now)

Car Talk › Re: This Car Consumes A Lot Of Fuel by bigl: 10:01am On Nov 08, 2024
Check the following:

1. The tail pipe - swipe with your finger, do u have a lot of black soot? If yes then:
2. Scan if your O2 Sensors are working or clogged up
3. The baba of them all: your ECT sensor (ECT: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor) .. if that ECT is busted, the engine will remain in open loop ...

Open loop happens when u start your car the first time in the morning and it should run for some couples of seconds or minutes till the engine reaches a pre-defined operating temperature .... It does this by bypassin the O2 sensor and flooding the engine with more fuel so as to reach operating temperature.. once it has reached that temperature, it goes into a closed loop & hands over the Long Term & Short Term Fuel Trim to the O2 sensors..

If the ECT is busted, it will continue to run in Open loop and flood the engine with more fuel than it needs .. that itself can damage the engine ...

Go and scan your car sir!

Wondering how i got to know this? Mechanics showed me shege with my toyota camry (even though, that camry platform na demon; talk about that later) and i had to dig and those are the results i came up with (Owners manual, Hynes Repair Manual) and has always worked for me.

Properties › Re: Salary Earners, How Do You Plan Towards Your rent payment? by bigl: 7:51pm On Oct 22, 2024
Well, for starters, i'll say, if your one month salary can't pay 50% of your house rent or 2 months can't cover your yearly rent, then you're simply foolish.

This principle of being able to pay 50% comfortably with your 1 month rent has always helped me ....

Its best to stay in a low brow, less expensive area that match your salary/income ....

Why would anyone earning 100k stay in a 650k per year apartment?

That is simply a free invitation for high blood pressure na cos everytime the agent or landlord calls to maybe ask some other stuffs, fear go dey catch u say maybe dem wan increase rent or want eject person cos of owed rents....



Dainy1:
This country is becoming something else. With the current high house rent increase and bills, we pray we survive it.

I was just thinking out loud. For someone earning 100k salary monthly, staying in 650k-800k house, what's your strategy towards your house rent payment?
Knowing that you still have more bills to cater for monthly.

How do you save? What percentage do you save in a month?

With the little Salary been paid, Salary earners, how do you plan towards your current house rent payment?

A colleague was joking telling us, he's considering relocating to the village to start farming and staying in a free family apartment........hmmmmm

I use it with my itel star - that popular 20, 000 (20k mah) power bank ... of course, it will work with any power bank that has usb.

Just ensure u don't use that cable to charge the routers power bank or else, that cable will get so hot and might burn out!

Always use the cable to power the router directly without the UPS/battery: I usually do that when the routers power bank has no charge left ....
