Na normal windows isssh jare ...

1. Ensure u have a working anti virus (avast free) ... scan the entire hdd with another laptop
2. Ensure u have anti malware (malwarebytes does a good job) ... scan the entire hdd with another laptop
3. Ensure your ram is properly seated in its slot and also, the contact are not dirty/clogged up with dust
4. Do not auto-update windows ... i repeat 1 billion times ... update does more harm than good .... it practically breaks your windows
5. As soon as u are bouyant, switch to Macbook Pro ... Apple OS is more reliable ... and u don't have to have the latest ... but the minimum year u should buy if u do graphics/editing is Mid 2012, 8gb ram, ensure the storage is SSD ... even if na 128gb u fit afford

Kalatium:
I woke up 2 days ago and noticed my laptop is showing me this. I haven't used it for a week so I am wondering what could have been wrong here.

Today is even the worst. Once it starts booting and it will shut down. It will keep booting and shutting down by itself.

Ohh, sorry about that...

Well, try and save up, but that router bro and escape from mtn data bondage

megamindmaster:
This is encouraging! Thanks bro

Update: tried it and it is showing the regular data plans when I put my mifi airtel number

Mtn? Na the name i fear most now o ... dem fit kee person with data billing and disappearance ... Its good to switch to airtel jare ....

And i think there's airtel plan for that your mifi o!

Best thing to do is to go to their website: https://airtel.com.ng and input that airtel no there, then click to buy bundle ... carefully look ... i've seen that plan there too ... afterall, we are not using the full power of the 5G sef so 20mbps go work wella with your mifi

megamindmaster:
Bro i need your help. MTN wan kill me!

For the sake of clarity, does the 20k 20mbps (or even the 200gb throttled one) work on this 4G pocket Mifi?

If yes, can I just do it on my current airtel sim card or is there a special way to do it?

I can't just buy the 5G router at the moment cos I've spend over 60k for data in my family just in a month+ on data...

I tire ... the max we've done is about 650gb and i was doing some heavy download - tuts, footages for editing, vfx, etc ... but on a normal day, just 250gb is what we normally clock and its super fair for 20k ....

omotola90:
haba...wetin person wan use 1tb do for one month...I love football...Wifey na so so film. I give airtel their flowers tbh...

I'm telling u .... na airtel dey save boiz now o or else, MTN for don use our eyes see shege barawo ... u buy 100gb and e can finish in 5 days ... u will start questioning the usage ... but this one? Unless u hit 1 or 1.5 tb, it won't have issue (someone told me)

omotola90:
Alright thank you...though, I don't have issues with electricity in my place though.
I will opt for this then. The unlimited plan is good one from Airtel tbh

I don't know o but I heard so ...

The one I have is the Airtel X25 5G Router and it comes with its own UPS ....

As a backup, I bought a usb to round port cable so able to use the router on normal power bank whenever the ups is out of power

omotola90:
I would love to get the Nokia airtel 5g router, is it true you can't use it without electricity...though I have no problem with that

Ha? That's too complicated for me jare ... but thanks for the response...

Save money and stick to that for now ...

FarEl18:
Okay Thanks. I

Actually, it comes in 2 units (at least mine, I can see some people posting a newer one that is just one unit). One is the receiver and the other is the router. You are supposed to place the receiver close to a window and it is what holds the Airtel sim. Then you connect the receiver to the router via LAN/Ethernet which broadcasts the WiFi signal.

Fyi, I sometimes connect from the receiver directly to my laptop using LAN.

Hey bro, howdy?

Sorry about the demise of your dad and also your school issues et al… life happens and we just have to find a way to deal with it … life has to go on …

You’re super duper lucky someone is willing to part with 1 milla for u … well, that’s the breakthrough u need as regards seed fund to jump start your journey into career/business…. Wish I was this lucky like u …

If possible, influence your NYSC posting to somewhere u can grow fast, like lagos … you’ll learn a lot fast and grow, rather than spending your 1 year in a remote village where u might not even smell electricity/internet for a while …

Web Development is a good stuff to go for and u can get up to speed with the basics in some months if you’re willing to really give it time.

Cinematography / Video editing/ motion graphics / 3d are also good fields you can dabble into and do well while making good money.

But u should understand that there’s a learning stage and then, earning stage?

To get u started, u will need a laptop and trust me, I am not part to those Gen Zees that will tell u that u must buy 4 million laptop before u can start video editing or web dev, all na lie dem dey lie.

U can get started with a laptop of about 200k (I don’t mean those pepper-yoyo touch screen laptops o, don’t buy them) .. something like core i5 or i7, 8gb /12gb/16gb ram, Storage should be SSD, 15.6 inches is ok and a battery life of say 3 hours is fine … it can be windows or Mac but I’ll recommend u getting a Mac for a start: a 13 inch 2012 MacBook Pro (specs above apply) will suffice cos of the price, battery life and upgradeability …

Once u have that, next stage is to decide if you’re the type that can learn on his own with video tuts or u need to enrol in a school to learn these stuffs.

I’ll recommend a hybrid approach: Learn via courses but try to apply as an intern (without pay) at a company that does what u wish to learn … like a media or web development company/agency where what u want to end up doing is what they are doing …

I learnt a lot on my own using self taught videos sha and later, started mingling with guys who are top guns in the fields i want ...

Combining what you’re learning at home and what you’re learning on the job will fast track your growth … your internship might not be more than 3 months … during which that balance u have from your seed fund can be used to survive (spend wisely: no carrying of ladies Ugandan or u go know how far)… They may even end up employing you cos you will have mastered how to do quite a lot from them while running around as their “mumu errand boy” and doing assignments given to u … And if they don’t employ u, u will have gotten a lot of links via working with them

By the way, Nigeria of today, u can't sit down with just 1 thing ... u gas learn 2 or more things to be able to make enough to sustain your existence ...

My advice is to: Start small, scale up and keep growing … if u need further clarification or help, drop your whatsapp line and I’ll reach out to u.

Benjamin4388:
please advise me!!!

I lost my dad second year in university while schooling in a private uni in Benin republic..cuz of lack of funds I was only coming to write exams thru the help of my peers..at the end of duration of the course in order to go for nysc in 2017.my bill was almost a million naira with miscellaneous it gonna pass that mark...now 2024 ....I got this bro in the UK who said he had only a million to spend and I should not bother him about anything after that...he was asking if I wanted to go and pay the debt and go for nysc or do something else like business
Firstly am not sure of a good career job after the end of the NYSC.
Secondly I don't know a thing bout computer science again but I know am gonna catch up if I could find the money to go for any of the web development courses
Thirdly I got passion for art even though I don't have talent for singing..I love sounds,movies and the special effects they use in making them but I don't really have much time to waste in much passion..I need something that I could do and earn and be independent
Have researched and was fixed on video editing and cinematography before...but have discovered even more with 3d animation,3d modelling,motion graphics,etc...I love them all

but I really need help on the one I could learn that will get me on my feet quickly...and the cost of training and tools needed that won't pass the said amount...I don't wanna blow this opportunity

Noooo, stick with the nokia o cos even the highest speed i got when using the unlimited ultra (200gb data limit but speed is uncapped), was 160mbps which is still within the realm of 4G ....

Hope u get me?

Until they start giving us speeds like 600mbps, then u may consider switching but for now, stick with the nokia jare...

By the way, does this nokia router, have an external antenna? Cos the unboxing i watched was kinda funny: saw some cable sticking out..

FarEl18:
Do you mean it's only the 20mbps you can do?

I currently use the Nokia receiver + router and use the same 20mbps unlimited plan. But I was thinking of switching and buying the Airtel 5G router and be using it for either the 20, 40 or 60 mbps plan because the router is more portable and has a power bank.

Do the other unlimited plans work on the 5G router?

If na mostly downloading/streaming (not games o), just like me, buy the 20mbps plan jeje

Do not, i repeat, do not buy that 200gb unlimited ultra o cos e go finish in the twinkle of an eye due to the high speed ...

Intent247:
Omoh. I am just tired . Don't know which one to go for now

Yeah but it's not automatically o ...

I will have to buzz and tweak their twitter handles before it's sorted

To me, it's not worth the trouble jare

Intent247:
Do they give like 5 or 10gb after the expiration of the 200GB?

Check that url they gave u ... lemme find it for u sef ..

https://www.airtel.com.ng/broadband-recharge

Use the url above ... i checked it and the 20k unlimited 20mbps plan is there ...

Thats what i'm using and i'll renew this month end sef

Obviouslyblunt:
wanted to activate it one time, called Airtel and they said the 20k plan is no more, can I still activate it? How can I do it?

Bro, what are u doing presently?

If you have no job at the moment, i'll advise u move (u alone o), to lagos, find somewhere to hang your head, do the 60k job but be on the look out for other opportunities with higher pay, that u can move to.

Don't let anyone fool u ... Zero naira is zero naira!

At the end of the month, from that 60k, with super management, u can still be sending madam about 10 to 20k monthly for upkeep ....

If u have skills, u can see opportunities to make use of such in lagos ...

u see that abeokuta, i ran from it some years back and i'm doing waaaay berra in lagos

And to make matters worse, house rent in abeokuta, is almost same with that of lagos

bigluv84:
Please advice me, I got a job of 60k in Lagos am presently living with my family at abeokuta, am planning to move to Lagos to start the work. The advice is 60k job is okay for the family of 4 in this Nigeria economy.

The 60mbps is faster but the fastest of them all is the unlimited ultra 200gb ... But the data cap of 200gb is something I can't live with

Intent247:
Hello bro. I bought the Airtel router and was given the free one month subscription.
Currently using it to stream on my smart TV.
But I noticed that sometimes the upload speed is dam slow.

I saw subscription on their app which is Unlimited 20, unlimited 40, unlimited 60.
Of Course the price varies . I was told that's the unlimited package .

Please which one of these is faster

Could be your area or general network issue ...

Intent247:
I bought this and was given free one month sub. But the upload speed on this dam slow

I have not o ... I'm stuck with the 20mbps

I only tried the unlimited ultra 200gb which has data cap of 200gb data cap but the speed is unlimited .. I got about 130mbps but the 200gb, go finish faster than u think

Intent247:
Have you tried the other speed base plan?
What's your experience with it.
Cos it seems this 20mpbs is slow when uploading videos

Yes, it does switch to 4G ... it even switches to 3G when the network is bad and its seamless, u won't know unless u check the network indicator led lights on the box

earthrealm:
Does it switch to 4g, if you travel with it, to a 4g location

Herbal concotion made of some natural stuffs, washed, sliced and cooked at home .... it took months though

Love800:
What did you take?

Exactly

Nigerians have not learned how to build generational wealth. only to enter politics and tif until they die

Bro, comot face for the matter ... na so some mothers & sisters dey do ...

Focus on building your own wealth ... that's all that matters ...

Hello Nairaland lawyers please i need your advice.
My mother and elder sister sold our late father's house secretly without our consent around february this year but we just found out only recently.It's a 4 bedroom bungalow.The buyer has completed renovation.Have we lost out? They didn't share the money they are holding on to it.Is there anything that can be done at this point in time?

Hey bro, don't mix things up... having stapph doesn't stop u from having rock hard er.ec.tion ...

But if you've got typhoid in your body, it will affect your er.ect.tio.n ... yeah and simple 1k anti biotics will fix that ...

As regards the staph thing, have u run any test? If yes, what the result like & what have u tried so far so i can recommend to u cos i had the staph thing before and spent quite a lot before getting rid of the damn thing ... and its stuff u can buy & prepare yourself ...

Don't let this thing enter and build a flat in your mind or else, it will kill your steeze and that will affect your relationship and biz altogether.

You don't have any problem ... read that again ... you don't have any problem ... na u wan kee your own steeze

dongalaxy:
Good morning Nairaland.
I have been deeply troubled lately over my health, I had written about this here years back but it keeps growing bad daily .

I had been diagnosed staphylococcus and as a matter of fact , it's a product of ignorance and not sexual exploit because I had my first sex at age 26 and before then I was never sexually active .

My life is in ruins now cos I'm closing to the year of marriage and my sexual life is nothing and to cap it all, my girl is even a virgin and being that I'm not sexually effective, I couldn't even disflower the period she stayed at my place and because of that , I pretended I was not sexually interested so it won't sound I was after sex as she had labeled all men to be .

House , even if I end up not having a wife in life , my health now is in a big mess as my private parts inches like what I can't even quality, pls house , if anybody has a lasting solution to this , the person should as a matter of urgency help me cos I'm dying in silence .

I had been defrauded repeatedly because I was looking for solutions to this menace , how can I be living, money I don't have , healthy life , I can't enjoy , haba! Life isn't just fair to me .

Personally, i don't care if you're skinny or orobo (chubby) ...

I care about who u are and your attitude ... if you've got good vibes and reasonable, we go date ...

Dating, to me is beyond weight and that's how i believe it should be ...

And my advice to u: don't try to cut down your weight to satisfy anyone cos such men, eventually leave...

Your very own guy will come your way ... just be on the lookout and be prepared ...

Fairview1:
Men be honest… would you date someone who’s a little chubby? I feel like men only want skinny woman these days and that’s something I have never been.

Dating has been super hard for me and I’m wondering if it’s because I’m a little thicker than most females I know, I’m not talking obsessed but thicker for sure.

So, men… does weight matter to you when it comes to choosing a lady to date? Be honest, let's talk.

Its your mind u got to work on ...

I told a friend that for u to make it in life, u have to be selfish ... she didn't understand until later ...

If you're dishing out money like its hot, bro, i'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, "You will become extremely poor" ...

So, begin dey change am for those asking for urgent money ... shut them out ... tell them, u don't have ... let them cry and wail and gnash teeth but do not send any money to anyone ...

They will get used to it and leave u the eff alone

AbokiWam:
My Salary is a little above #100, 000 naira, My friends know I am working which brings enormous pressure on me, They think it is a high paying job because of the Corporate dressing and all.

I don't Know if it is the hardship from this era, but now 4 out of every phone calls someone receives is usually them asking you to lend them money. Currently self I am skeptical of answering phone calls. Work Colleagues also do not spare you in this regard.

My problem now is I am too soft hearted, Any small story and I am already heading to my bank app to do transfer for,

Beginning of June, money I lent to a total number of 7 different people was running into almost 60,000 naira.
At the start of July, Only two people have paid me back (5000 & 4000)

Because of that I promised myself not to lend anyone money again from my salary, but Just this morning I got a call from someone I know , he was crying to me of his salary being delayed at work.
He pleaded with me to lend him #10,000 which I obliged, Knowing fully well I wont get my money back (He has borrowed 8k from me before without paying back)

I think something is wrong with me, I can even go to loan app to borrow and gift a friend if I don't Have

Same borrowing habit almost ruined my Dad, it destroyed his friendship with a close pal, he borrowed his friend #800,000 back IN 2011 when money still had value, the friend refused paying and that crumbled his business for a while.

My Mom have warned me if I continue, I might experience same.

I really need to change...
If every one should pay me money they have owed me, I would be able to buy honda baby boy
This is a bad habit I need to stop.

Bro, its hard to recommend o but na the itel star (20, 000mah) i dey use and its been working fine since ...

If u can locate carlcare office, buy the itel power bank from there

C2Ok:
Which one do you suggest I buy?

If possible, please return it ...

Weretuntun:
I AGREED WITH YOU,NOBODY IS EXPERT IN DIFFERENTIATING FAKE AND GOOD ELECTRONIC PRODUCT,
I WAS THINK OF RETURNING IT TO THE STORE.

Haaa, which store in particular?

Cos the store sef, someone might mix up or swap original one with a fake one and they won't know ... u know, those things don't have serial no and hence, hard to trace

Weretuntun:
I BOUGHT IT FROM REPUTABLE STORE AT PRICE OF 18K,ONLY TO CHARGE THIS MORNING,START DISCHARGING WHILE CHARGING AND STOP WITH HOT SMELL INPUT OUTLET.

Weretuntun:
i just bought this itel 2000amh 15w digital latest powerbank few months ago,and suddenly stop working.both the led and the powerbank it self stop working.

Most likely, u got the fake one ...

Mine has been working for about 2 years now ... and we are always using it: charging, discharging continously ...

So many fakes are being sold everywhere

Its always good to buy directly from those who are affiliated with the manufacturers

Wow! Not bad!

Which plan is that that give us 120gb/150gb for 16k?

Share the code pls! Thanks.

easzypeaszy:
I dont have much visitors, 16k for 120G to 150G is more dan enough, Just me, my wife and Smart TV.
16K not bad for me sha bc I consider fact dat I work frm home, no trnsportation n snacks money in office..and also no need to sub for my wife again or sub for DSTV so its a win-win sir

Eeya, sorry o .. i was offered one nokia like that as well (street agents) but noticed that its 4G.

Is that your mtn plan unlimited or u just buy data?

How are u coping with mtn data zapping and the cost?

Na wetin make me run into the arms of airtel o! And i dey enjoy am ... even visitors that come and stay long are connected to it ... afterall, i go pay flat rate for month end cos its unlimited!

easzypeaszy:
The Hertz6 is 4G with band of 2G n 5G somtin like dat.
I noticed the ba3 only last 2hrs toh no wahala
It worked perfectly first month.
My second sub wasted, one night I was working night shift around 2am it went of n was even connected to light.
I went to der office if I can get ba3 dey said I shld go to Computer village
I went to computer village dey said dey dnt hv idea hmmm
Even before den, the ntwrk can go for 2-3hrs
It was a bad experience for me ooooo

The Hertz6 of 20k and dat of 10k den but now it's price have increased.
Na MTN I dey use now wt my small Mifi

Ohh, sorry about that o ... that's not what i have ... i bought the Airtel 5G X25 Router ... see pix attached ...

Its been working fine...

Whats your experience with the hertz one? I'm hearing about it for the 1st time!

I just checked it ... its a 4g router and not 5G

easzypeaszy:
I bought dat router...Hertz 6 to be precised...hmmmm God no go let u see wetin go carry u reach Airtel office.
Dat device is a crap

Simply buy airtel 5g router + unlimited 20 plan which is trully unlimited ... been using mine since nov 2023 ... the data go tire u

Just check to be sure u have either 4g or 5g network in your area before buying .... and its just 20k monthly ...

U go enjoy your smart tv ...

pocohantas:
Use smart TV they say,
Only mumu dey use DSTV.

Don't throw the baby away with the dirty birth water ....

Why throw away a good girl cos she's snoring?

My wife, does not snore before we got married, guess what? She now snores after we have kids ... and guess what again? Even me, chairman, now snores... Should I throw her away cos she snores? Or should she divorce me cos i now snore (occasionally)? No freaking way!

But, what i've observed it sleeping posture and possible, stuffy nasal cavity ...

There's these anti-snore plaster which is put on the nose to help breath clearly ... there's also this plastic stuff that attaches to the nose to help clear the airway ...

U can equally seek medical advise to help sort this ...

And pls, no do the mistake of throwing away a good girl cos she snores ... cos the next one that doesn't snore might bring a lot of other bad stuffs that may be worse than snoring

RealSolution001:
I have this girl that I'm sincere with and everything being equal, I would like to take her to the next stage - marriage.

The issue now is, she snores so badly.

Right now she's lying down in my apartment sleeping while I'm still active working with my system. Guess what? It's as if the building would collapse by her snores

And I'm wondering, is this something I would be able to cope with? I hate snoring with passion.

So how do you judge this now? Is it enough to end it since if we marry, I wouldn't want something to disturb my night rest with snores. Terrible snores. I hate the sound. Hearing it wants to make me run crazy.
