PhonesBeware Of MTN Smartphone Plan!! by bimbor(op): 7:52am On Nov 18, 2014
Ladies and gentlemen,
I subscribed for this plan on Sunday night after making some clarification from their customer care help desk and they told me the day and the night accounts wil both be charged separately...but lo and behold MTN have been charging my DAY ACCOUNT only since sunday up till now.....what they said is that after 9pm they will switch to the night account automatically and by 6am the following day they will revert to the day account but I can confidently confirm to you all that this is a hoax!! MTN are pranking us because right now it is my day account that keeps going down even after 9pm while the 3GB for the night still remains untouched even after downloading a file worth 300MB by 10pm last night.....the data was taken from my 1.5GB day account.

Now I don't need to be reminded that after exhausting this 1.5GB data i will be restricted to night browsing only with the remaining 3GB.....Was this not exactly what their Night Plan offers?
MTN seem to be taking us for a ride really....what sort of crap is this! Are we kids.....why do they always think they can take us for a ride!! This is actually preposterous!!! They really need to be called to order....

I have posted this message so that those of you intending to subscribe will be careful. MTN are just too cunning. When you hear of an offer from MTN the best thing is to run!

Just see my screenshots below for evidence.....

IPs are traceable? So you mean to say the man does not have freedom of expression just like you do? Are you in any way more human than him? Do you have two heads? This your statement makes me sick! And so this 'Crap jones' is the same entity that is preaching APC leadership? You want us to vote for a leader that will withold our fundamental human rights just like you are doing here?
I think you need to have your head examined because you are worse off than the PDP you are trying to crucify. Why must you jump to use every available opportunity to criticise GEJ? I think I can authoritatively say you APC Killers are the brains behind this Senseless blood shed across Northern Nigeria all in a bid to bring down Jonathan's administration.

Music/RadioRe: M.i.’s ‘the Chairman’ Album – The Preview And Review by bimbor(m): 3:16am On Nov 05, 2014
bankydd:
Reminiscent of Jay Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail LP which was certified
platinum by the RIAA for selling a million copies before the album was
even made publicly available, African Rapper No. 1, MI, reporteedly
accomplished a similar feat with the soon-to-be-released Chairman
album a couple of days after it went on pre-order online.
The Chairman is a conceptual audio-fest that recalls in many ways
Kendrick Lamar’s break out second studio album Good Kid: MA.A.d City,
with its engaging plot line, masterful rap style as well as gripping and
dramatic lyrics.
The chairman has 17 tracks. Every track (except Track – Middle) has an
opposite track, so Track 1 is The Beginning while Track 17 is The End/
Chairman; Track 2 is Monkey while Track 16 is Human Being and so on.
The beauty of this album is that songs can be played as companion
pieces in order to get the intended story or separately as stand-alone
tracks without losing the essence of the album.
This album is thus accessible yet coded, layered yet simple, soulful yet
hard core, philosophical and yet street.
“With this album I am an ashewo for new fans. As I walked past a guy
recently he said, ‘M.I when will your new album drop?’ You won’t believe
it but I stopped, pulled out my MAC and played him the songs.”
Let us return again to the Kendrick comparison. The Chairman is M.I’s
autobiography but he is not chairman, neither is he King James. With
his last two highly celebrated singles, M.I sold us dummies to distract
us from the amazing work he was doing.
The singles, King James and Chairman are not on this new album.
‘’They were throw-away tracks,” M.I says with the casual air of a man
who has just gifted his young friend a brand new Lamborghini.
The Chairman opens with an intro, a comical alchemy that sees M.I
pulling an Eddie Murphy on us as he plays different voices. He is the
crazy teacher, aka Mr. Nigeria Teacher who kills dreams with his cane
and hot slaps.
“Look as he short. Look as he black. The idiocy of you is amazing to
me.”
Here, M.I gives a finger to nay sayers who didn’t believe in him, who
thought, like Biggie rapped, that “I won’t amount to nothing.”
Monkey has comedienne Chi Girl doing her thing before M.I’s voice
comes in rapping over a high life beat with a gospel flavour, something
that anyone who ever took a night bus will get.
“Madam na only you waka come,” M.I raps, immediately situating the
song in the here and now then going on to say “I’ve been disrespected
but I kept on.”
This is the song that signals his return after his 4 year lay-off and it
is playful yet philosophical, personal yet political.
Human Being track number 16 features 2face and Sound Sultan. Here
M.I goes personal, telling us that celebrity is not all its hyped up to be.
This one springs from a very personal place.
Sometimes you might see me in the rain/Looking fly but I’m feeling
pain/sometimes you may say hello but my mood is down.”

Rich is track number 3 and has Pheelz on it and with M.I supporting we
get an aural massage as the music grabs your ears from the get go.
There is serious personal stuff going on here as M.I tells his grass to
grace story “From buying food inside newspaper to the front page of
magazines/Driving a Bentley and dating Agbani, flying to yankee to
pick up a grammy…Everything we dey face right now will turn story/we
will all be rich.”
It’s all good for M.I.
Brother is Track no 8 and it is an emotional song recounting the cracks
in Chocolate City. This one has Sarz, L-3, MI and Sammy Gyang on it.
“When MoHits broke up, I was like know what, this will never happen to
us/When ChocBoys broke up, I was like hold up, how on earth did that
happen to us?”
M.I enlists gospel artiste and Choc Boy Nosa on this one and his chorus
nails it, emphasising what we lose when we walk alone “I no fit climb
this mountain on my own…/This life no be Nollywood/I need you
Brother.”
Millionaira Champagne
Shekpe is Track no 5 and M.I is joined by Reminisce and Sarz on this
bacchanalia that celebrates street life and cheap highs.
“Na only one life, you no go live twice/Omo sip something till you feel
nice, pass me the shekpe” M.I urges before Reminisce jumps in with a
ditty that will have many singing along once this album drops.
“Five shekpe bottles standing on the wall, one shekpe bottle/If I drink
shekpe and I accidentally fall down/I will stand up and will drink
shekpe some more.”
Shayo joints will never be the same ever again.
Did Olamide grab the throne while M.I was on a hiatus? Rumours have
swirled since M.I dropped King James but on this song, Middle, track
no 9, the short black boy teams up with Olamide and newbie, IG in a
song that will squelch and also fan the embers of that rumour. Who
amongst them is King and who sits on that throne because M.I declares
without equivocation “6 years running, I am the baddest rapper ever
liveth.”
But forget the rumours and enjoy this song meant for cruising down
quiet streets in the twilight where M.I goes real smart on us with lines
like “wetin mankind no go see/even Jesus was hated by Pharisees/ I
dey tin can like Derica…/Critics go come go like D&C/I just dey my
lane like BRT…/Who’s the best rapper, omo it all depends/ I’m not the
1 to ask/ask number 2 to 10…/Because cat sabi swim no mean say e be
catfish
On Enemy, track No. 10 M.I hooks up with fast rising Patoranking to
deliver dance hall magic. The personal celebrity inspired narrative
continues and here Patoranking sings “Enemies …watching me close
like a journalist…” before MI jumps in with “Listen real close my
brother/Be careful who you tell about your lover…/In every twelve
there is one Judas/For every Tupac you got shooters/For every Caesar is
one Brutus…Cos people wanna see me fall” highlighting the fact that
the world of celebrity is a minefield full of haters.
Take this from me, Christmas 2014 will be different in the East with
the arrival of Bullion Van, track no 11 featuring Phyno, Runtown and
Storm Rex.
This testosterone driven anthem will light up night clubs and have
ballers on their toes claiming this song as theirs.
On this one, M.I, Phyno and Runtown go all Oriental Brothers on us
with this highlife/kegites/aladura church inspired club banger.
With all these cats at the top of their game all you feel is inspired
when you hear them sing “We be di niggas wey dey step into the club
with a bullion van.”
But the coups de grace are M.I’s lines with the double entendres.
“When you see money dey fly na we be dat…/The bottles are popping/
we killing the money, we put am for coffin/Anything wey don close/
money go open am you go think say na bow leg…/Everything tear
rubber, Mister pharmacists wey Postinor?”
With Girl, M.I goes all lovey dovey. It’s a dialogue with M.I singing “You
make me the happiest man in the world. Even if the sky will fall and
the stars burn out I will always love you.”
Millionaira Champagne, song number 13 is not for the faint-hearted.
This is a song for hard core hip-hop heads as M.I goes toe to toe with
label mate, Ice Prince and Sarkodie who bring it on like it’s a battle.
These guys, princes of the rap game are sticking fingers in eyes,
calling out fakers and taking no prisoners.
“Look at you and look at us/ Talk true who resemble boss” M.I taunts.
Ice Prince raps about “putting your arse to sleep” while the normally
easy-going Sarkodie has fighting words. In his lilting Twi accent he
raps “Baby I’m the Boss…/We the realest in the game/Bleep who you
are.”
But M.I seals it with “You’re an exit sign/you are on your way out.”
Track 14, Yours, is an ode to the fans. On this track with Milli, M.I
celebrates the fans who have made him the star and celebrity he has
become.
“Remember that shit, talk about it, you put me here/I don’t want to let
you down/ Short black boy in the white house, you put me there… So
this is reciprocity, Jos city, Choc City.”
Milli holds his own here spitting lines dripping with confidence and
variety.
On Chairman/The End, track number 17, M.I vacates the seat as
Chairman showing us who the real chairman is; God, the one who as M.I
raps “be like HD, your blessings are so clear.”
There are two cameos on this one, gospel artist, Frank Edwards and
Oritsefemi as well as M.I’s niece who recites Paslm 125.
A grateful son pays tribute to his father with: “I have seen ups, I have
seen downs…/you got your son sitting in the first grade” and on the
front row no less.
This album by this Choc Boy is Chockfull of hits. It is autobiography and
memoir, manual and manifesto, pure fiction and drama, as well as
poetry on an epic scale.
This is an album that will travel far pleasing all men at all times in
every clime from Aba to Abuja, Lagos to Lafia.
This is sublime shit.

6 Types of People You Meet in Nigerian Banks


1. The Pen Borrowers: They never have a pen. These people are quick to say, "Please, borrow me your Biro" and once you give them your pen, just forget about it because that's the last of them you'll see, except if you're extremely lucky.

2. The "I dey ur Back" Team: Immediately they enter the bank, even before picking a slip (withdrawal or deposit), they are already asking who the last person on queue is. And before you answer, they'll say "I'm at your back." In most cases, 9 people will tell you, "Bros, I dey ur back." At the end of the day, you end up settling dispute between the person wey dey d back of person wey dey ur back.

3. The No protocol team: This kind of people don't even care who the last person on queue is. "First come first served" don't make any meaning to them. Immediately they come in, they just walk up to the manager, who offers them a seat, and within 5 mins they've completed there transactions while u go still dey dere dey grow grey hair for queue. (Dearis God oooo!)

4. The Bank Door rejectees: These category will always have problem with the bank door. You'll see them removing their belts, car keys, mobile phones etc and yet the machine keeps shouting "Bro, pls go back". Oga, next time come into bank naked! Biko, he go allow u in... LOL!

5. The slip wasters: These kind of people can waste slip 4Nigeria! To fill the withdrawal slip or deposit slip na JAMB questions? You'll see them cancelling, tearing, squeezing & taking another one. To write common 3,780 Naira in words na gobe. The so called "undergraduates " are the leader of this group. Na wa o.

6. The Voice of the People: These are the rebel leaders of the banking hall. "The queue is not moving na". "Yes, It's true. These people are just lazy". "I mean, this is arrant nonsense! I've been here for 59 min! This bank is a crap. I will close down my account and find a better bank" Come tomorrow, you go see am again for queue wit big goggle... speaking grammar. Bros, na only you waka come?

Okay, which group do you belong to in these 6? No lie o.
Remember, dearis God o!
Oya add urs......

Car TalkRe: 2008 Camry Auto Windows by bimbor(op): 4:22pm On Oct 20, 2014
lomomike:
For a 2008 my car I feel it should have that feature.


My 2005 RX have the remote Auto All window roll down, but to roll up the window, you'd have to stick the key into the driver's side door key lock, turn the key to lock position and hold till the windows roll up again. I read in club lexus that the reason why the remote roll up isn't available for American/Canadian spec lexus but available for JDM and Aussie toyota harrier 330 was because they don't want silly Americans to stick their heads or child's head out of the window when the remote roll up is active so as to prevent a law suite arising from injury or death (but I don't know how true it is).


Almost same feature is installed in my 2003 highlander just that I have to stick the key into the drivers side door key lock, turn it unlock position, hold and the driver's window goes down, to roll up, do the reverse way.
Thanks @Lomomike. Same way it functioned in the 2007 Accord. I think I will try it out on the Camry grin

Car TalkRe: Bmw X6 2007 Vs Hyundai Sante Fe 2014 by bimbor(m): 5:50pm On Oct 18, 2014
abatically:
That is not true bro. As a matter of fact the parts of luxury cars tend to fail when unexpected, and fixing them costs a whole lot. And who told u the ignition coil of a rav 4 will not last 70,000 miles? This is why people only enjoy them when bought brand new and covered by warranty. But as soon as the warranty expires they sell them off. Buying a luxury car is one thing, maintaining it is another.

If I earn 150,000 naira monthly, I'd rather buy a brand new hyundai santa fe than a used bmw x6. I'm not comparing both cars, we all know the bmw is the far better car. But for the following reasons

1. Brand new car, under warranty which means for the next 2 years I don't have to visit the garage.

2. A powerful 290HP v6 , AWD, reverse camera, 3rd row seat , Bluetooth, usb/iPod integration, xenon headlights, etc. I know the bmw has more options but the santa fe is not a slouch either and its enough for a medium income earner.

I know maintenance is the key, but u can't take the bmw x6 to a local mechanic, they will mess with it. Take it to a reputable garage and they will cut ur neck. I know a lot of friends that have abandoned their range rover sports because of high maintenance and cost of parts.

My point is, unless I am well loaded, I see no reason buying a used luxury car when there are otber capable options that will be pocket friendly.
Every defender of this argument seem to have a point.

But seriously it does not make sense to acquire a Luxury SUV if you don't have the power to maintain it. It's foolishness if u ask me. Instead buy what you csn afford to maintain and stop buying to show off.

A 2007 Rav4 is a good enough SUV for a middle class income earner.

The BMW X6 is a top notch SUV, It's not for the middle class.

The Hyundai Santa is a great SUV is a good SUV too especially for those that really crave for brand new products, and beleive me nothing is comparable to buying a brand new vehicle. You have at least 3 years to stay off the Auto repairs garage.

Tell your friend that there is absolutely no basis for comparism, both in price and quality/performance between the Beamer and The 'I wan Die'.

Advice him to compare his 'machine' (sic) lol to Toyota RAV 4 or Honda's CRV which is about the same price as his gongoni, but playing in a lower league.

Teach him never to mention BMW and Hyundai in the same sentence, even if he is just listing car manufacturers.

Let him understand that Banana Island and Ajegunle are both in Lagos State, but they are at the 2 ends of pole separated by the pole itself.

Tell your friend that we Nairalanders understand the euphoria he is basking in, as in buying a brand new car for the first time, but that is not enough reason to insult a BMW.

Explain to him that we apprecaiate the Koreans, they are trying, but BMW is way out of their league. Tell your friend to go and ask for the price of a used 2010 BMW X6 before he opens his mouth to talk in public next.

Thank you for understanding with me and advising your friend.

@Siena I beg your pardon, I mean the OEM dash fascia not custom fitting.
