TravelRe: Man Spends 40years In US, 20yrs In Prison & Is Deported Back To Nigeria (video) by Bossman(m): 3:31am On Aug 29, 2023
I agree. He likely was involved in a violent crime that resulted in death, or very serious injury. Or convicted of trafficking hard drugs,
casualobserver:
for him to have spent 20 years, he must have killed somebody….or convicted of drug trafficking for the second time.
TravelRe: Living In The USA - Life Of An Immigrant Part 1 by Bossman(m): 12:26pm On Aug 28, 2023
The amount of money you have is of minimal importance as it relates to you getting into the USA. What is your plan and what sort of Visa would you be seeking?

You need to move on. Seems the whole relationship is based on how much you've given her, and how much more she can get out of you.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: The Tech Craze: A Bubble, Not A Solution For Unemployment In Nigeria. by Bossman(m): 2:19pm On Jul 29, 2023
Correct. Majority of the unemployed in Nigeria are clueless about tech, and are certainly not looking for technology jobs. There is no job creation taking place in Nigeria period! Talkless of tech jobs. Tech in Nigeria is not mature at all.


Vilgax:
Your opinion is valid and correct but you're coming at it from an individualistic standpoint. Of course any tech-inclined person who knows his onions cannot complain about lack of jobs (poor pay, maybe; but a lack of jobs? nahh).

I'm just saying that tech (both domestic and foreign roles) cannot absorb the humongous number of unemployed Nigerians.
The entire nature of the tech industry is designed to only favour a select few deemed the "best of the best".
RomanceRe: Why Is Someone Living On Credit In Abroad Richer Than A Nigerian Who Pay Outrigh by Bossman(m): 3:04pm On Jul 28, 2023
A country with a solid system of credit is a sign of a developed country. Wealth is built on having access to credit. Do not underestimate the importance of having access to credit. Countries with solid credit system have a very broad middle class. Since it gives everyone access to property ownership, etc. This is simple economics!
CareerRe: To go or stay in naija by Bossman(m): 2:12pm On Jul 26, 2023
It can't always be about money. There is more to life than that. I see a lot of talk about how much you are making. What do you want? Do you feel you can grow in your current job, what are the prospects down the road. Do you want a sane environment to raise a family in? What about security, access to health care, etc. Weigh all those options and then make a decision. Remember, you are in IT, and it has good prospects abroad as well besides the good pay.
TravelRe: Living In The USA - Life Of An Immigrant Part 1 by Bossman(m): 5:57pm On Jul 16, 2023
Your money alone will not do it. You still have to meet the requirements to get the appropriate visa to get into the US.

Hello house, am planning of relocating to the US with my family. Have been saving for few years now.

TravelRe: Mbaise Cultural Event In America Shut Down By Texas Police by Bossman(m): 10:23pm On Jul 10, 2023
Well said. This is likely what happened. They will not joke with Liability issues. I am sure the maximum number of people that can be hosted in the hall is clearly stated on the contract that was signed. Too bad for them they did not abide by the contract. They will not get a dime back!

InvertedHammer:

It was a liability issue. Halls in a hotel have crowd limit in case of emergency. You cannot rent a hall of 200 capacity and try to fill it with 300 people. You will be shut down. The manager acted in the best interest of the hotel. Unlike your typical Nigerian eggheads, Oyibo believe in prevention is better than cure. If any accident happened in that event: 1) Mbaise community would sue for damages. 2) The city will come hard on the hotel for violating city ordinances 3). Insurance may not cover them.

The hotel manager deserves accolades.

PhonesRe: Nin Date Of Birth Error by Bossman(m): 1:52pm On Jul 08, 2023

PhonesRe: IOS Iphone Anyone? Find A Solution For Ur Iphones Here by Bossman(m): 8:04pm On Jul 04, 2023
So the PC only has a backup of your friends Iphone, and you have used that to restore your own Iphone 7 plus. Unless you have it backed up somewhere else, I do not think you can recover what's been erased on your 7 plus.

Hello everyone, I was trying to restore a backup from my PC to my iPhone 7 Plus , but there was a mixup when doing it and I uploaded the wrong backup ( my friends phone that I backup up for him last year)

TravelRe: Changing The Date Of Birth On My International Passport by Bossman(m): 9:29pm On Jul 01, 2023
I think you should change it with the passport office first, then apply using the updated one on the new passport. It's also important that it matches what's on your NIN.

PhonesRe: Airtel Launches 5G by Bossman(m): 5:12pm On Jun 20, 2023
I experienced the same issue with MTN 5G. When I was there last month, about 10 mins after landing at MMA I got an sms from MTN alerting me that my device (Iphone 12 pro max) is now configured for 5G and to enjoy the service. The system automatically figured that out once I connected to the network. Well, before this message my data was working fine without issues. However, my data speeds became very slow and barely usable despite the device showing 5G and I think 5G+ sometimes. Bottom line, I had to go into cellular settings and change it to LTE from 5G Auto. Thought it was just the airport, so at a different location I changed it back to 5G Auto, but the speeds were still terrible. So I switched back to LTE and used that successfully throughout my stay there.
bablon20:
MTN shouldn't have upgraded to 5G at all, because they were better of when they were on 4G

Maybe after a long long time with questionable speeds in most places. Maybe watch MKBHD's video on the topic & you'd understand the issue.
And oh, 5G sips battery with straw. Not something you'd want for sustained use.

PhonesRe: BTEL Becomes Nigeria’s Newest Entrant To Compete With MTN, Glo As Mobile Network by Bossman(m): 4:55pm On Jun 15, 2023
This is an MVNO that will piggyback off one of the major carriers such as GLO, MTN or so. So yes, they will make the market more competitive, as they will have their own plans, sim card, etc. For example some MVNO's in the US are Consumer cellular, Metro, Mint Mobile, etc. In the UK Virgin, Lebara, Tesco, giffgaff, Lycamobile, etc. are all MVNOs
I see people mention that they will not have their own sim cards, etc. That's totally false!
PhonesRe: Who Has Recently Done MTN Welcome Back? by Bossman(m): 5:37pm On Jun 08, 2023
You can't retrieve someone else's SIM card. That you have the person's ID carries no weight. You own identification does not match what's in the system.

PhonesRe: So Tecno And Infinix Are Meant For Africans by Bossman(m): 3:27am On Jun 05, 2023
If the phone has the appropriate bands used in the country, it will work. LTE bands used in North America include 2,4,5,12,16,29,30, 66. So if the phone is a global one it should work fine. It’s just that most of those Techno/Infinix devices are produced specifically fir a certain market, and may not have all the bands. They do this to cut down on cost.
TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by Bossman(m): 5:27am On May 25, 2023
Not sure about fresh passport. But renewals for sure. Have always renewed our passports in Naija when visiting. Usually takes about a week to 10 days. Have never visited Naija for more than 13 days. Our contact at the Ikoyi passport office always does it.

AllDModsAreMaad:
Don't be deceived, you can't get your passport in two weeks anywhere in Nigeria.

Dem go just chop your money, come dey post you.
