PAYG

DONT BOTHER ASKING CAUSE THE PLAN HAS BEEN DECOMISIONED (Ie NOBODY CAN ACTIVATE IT AGAIN . BUT THOSE THAT ACTIVATED THE PLAN BEFORE THEY DECOMISSIONED IT CAN STILL USE IT) SORRY GUYS

My own SIM still works but not steadily. Is there anything I should do to keep it connected on my phone 247? Like that 1mb @ N5 daily stuff, does it work?

Alexanda07:
Hahaha...Its too late my brother. My Etisalat Pay As You Go Pulse SIM still activate and this month alone, since Feb 1st 2015 till today, I have used over 20GB and counting.

Also still having MTN BIS on Android as backup incase of any problems.

Sorry Bro, there is nothing I can do to go back to normal data subscription. The economy caused it and our network operators are stingy.

Do you use that etisalat payg plan on ur phone 24/ or u use it whenever u only want to download?

BE A RESPONSIBLE DATA USER, AVOID CHEATS AND TWEAKS

Often times due to the insatiable desire of human beings, we usually look out for avenues to satisfy our appetite or meet our demands desperately even if it means going into dubious and shady adventures provided our needs are met. We equally don’t care whether we infringe, trample, tampered or stepped on other peoples’ idea and copywrited materials to achieving our desperate desires, we often see those illegal ventures and avenues as loopholes to pay back on those who in one way or the other we consider ripping us off unjustly, without minding the stress these people, institutions, enterprises and firms underwent before coming out bright in the provision of their services.

Now due to the lack of responsible attitudes of most of our youths today particularly as it relates to internet subscription and data usage in Nigeria, coupled with the high cost to maintaining data enabled devices especially devices powered by Google’s Android operating system, Apple’s iOS, Windows OS and the new BB10 OS, including USB Modems and other data machines and devices, our youths have now resorted to either tweaking the imei of their devices, or create cheats and work on loopholes as may be discovered on the various telecoms platform to use a service that was not designed for their devices. Irrespective on which angle we may want to argue this point, it is a criminal act and I call on everyone involved in such criminality to please stop doing it right away. You may never be caught in the eyes of the law, but should your conscience be alive as a human being, you quite know that what you are doing is wrong and obviously it is a crime.

In Nigeria today, we all usually screamed to the rooftops shouting ‘government is corrupt’ ‘government is corrupt’, whereas we as an individual are more corrupt than the government officials we are screaming at. To control, stop and tame corruption and corrupt practices in Nigeria, every one of us must see ourselves as stake holders in the fight and struggle to eliminate corruption in our midst. We must start to be involved in responsible ventures worthy of emulation so that we don’t continue in sowing bad seeds in our young ones and expect to achieve a corruption-free Nigeria in the near future.

The various internet and data service providers in Nigeria are offering their services in commensurate measures as set by the regulatory agency (NCC), and coupled with the prevailing circumstances, unfriendly and harsh business environment in Nigeria, these operators one way or the offer their services rather on the high side, putting into consideration what it takes to provide such a service to an individual or entity. Although I am not supporting the high tariff offered Nigerians on the internet platforms, but I am sure their hands are tied in this regard.

For example, a competent source confides in me sometimes ago that the regulatory agency NCC, threatened to sanction Glo Mobile Nigeria, for offering a 350MB data volume at N1,000 to their HSI data subscribers should they fail to review it downward. And true to the information as was passed to me, Glo Mobile today has reviewed that data subscription plan, as they now offer 300MB data volume for N1,000 as against the initial 350MB that was available earlier. NCC, rather than our various data service providers are to be held responsible for the high cost of internet services in Nigeria. Our aggression should be directed at them and not at our service providers because they work under regulations set by the NCC.

From the foregoing therefore, instead of you buying a device which is data hungry,expensive to maintain and amounting to heavy data drainage on use, which invariably may cause you to be tempted by venturing into irresponsible acts and breaking normal operating system to use illegally to achieving your aims and desire, why not go for OS devices that have been designed and customised for cheap data consumption and services in meeting your crave for unending high data demands? Here, the older Blackberry OS comes to play. You are involved in tweaking your imei in order to use the normal Blackberry internet services on your Android OS. Why not rather buy any Blackberry OS lower than BB10 and use the cheaper subscription meant for such services? To be responsible means to use platforms as it is meant to be used.

Moreover, there are cheaper Android, iOS, Windows and other services data subscription available today on the various mobile networks in Nigeria, all thanks to SME data subscription offered by third parties who usually buy data in bulk from the various service providers, and yours truly is one of them selling a legal third party data subscriptions to Nigerians. You can ring me on 08144845524 for your subscription 24/7. I will therefore encourage you to start patronizing these third party data resellers which is a laudable venture, than engaging in tweaks, cheats and tricks in using a legal service illegally. Youths of today, stop being irresponsible, and casts off the acts of irresponsibility from you.

Remember, whatever thing you do to cheat on others, it has eternal consequences whether you believe it or not. So stop! Be responsible today!

GOD bless you all.

I saw various posts on the social media, criticising federal government's reduction of gasoline(PMS or Petrol) pump price from N97 to N87. More worrisome is the fact that some of our youths join the bandwagon in the criticism.

I wonder why we have some youths of our country who can not make use of their brains to ponder on issues that would further enrich the country. Present day youths are being tossed around by the older ones and sometimes, by illiterates. ‎

Drivers paid an average of $2.2021 a gallon for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps of recent in the US (do some ‎confirmation) 1US gallon = 3.7854ltrs‎ ‎$2.2021 = N398.58 (@ exchange rate of N181/$) Therefore, 1gallon = N398.58 ÷ ‎3.7854ltrs = N105.29/ltr in the US

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, after taking into consideration, landing costs and other expenses, it is N85/ltr for the same litre of gasoline yet people are ignorantly ranting on social media and elsewhere. Between Nigeria and the US, which is better? What has happened to some present day youths in my dear country, Nigeria‎? Mr. President, Goodluck Jonathan has indeed shown that he has the interest of Nigerians at heart.‎

Your opinion on this issue is laughable. You can't compare the prices exactly as u did. $2 being equal to N360 doesn't mean they are worth the same. In other words, $2 in the US is not as big as N360 in Nigeria.

Check out the hot gist that came with this photo, guys! Baba T, for his big wedding that brought the big stars - Davido, Patoranking, Big Brother Tayo Faniran and Lilian Afegbai to Warri today rocked a 3 piece suit that was hand made by Ermenegildo Zegna and worth £17000 (N4,930,000).

Pictured below is him and his beautiful bride and Warri billionaire Ayiri Emami who was his best man. N4.9m for just the suit! That's some people's entire wedding budget!!

http://www.lailasblog.com/2015/01/photo-warri-mogul-baba-t-rocked-n49m.html?m=1

One of those things. However, there's no proof that the suit is that costly. I can't also see the difference compared to the guy next to him.

2sExy1:
lol... it's because you are a Nigerian... There is a phone currently being sold in western world that block cyber spies on your phone calls and sms... therefore, government cant monitor your calls. how much is it sold? $3500 and people are around the world are buying it. the name is Cryptophone. There are much more expensive items being sold around the world.

Is phone not much much worth than suit? $3500 phone, can you compare it with 4.9m suit? By the way how much is $3500?

I remember when I once told a friend that I miss you and he burst into laughter.

I told another friend today same and his reply was "How a man go dey miss a man. I don't understand".

Frankly, when I say those words it means I don't see you as just a friend but a brother. One I could do anything for.

But why is it wrong?

Na una sabi. But as for me I see it as normal thing.
"How a man go dey miss a man" clearly shows the person does not understand what I miss you means and ignorantly homophobic.

I've watched both house of cards and the newsroom and disagree with what you said. The newsroom won the best series opener at the Emmys. That s1e1 endeared me like no other and if you watched the first episode like me withsome people here and never liked it, then you won't like the series at all #Fact

Anyway to each his opinion

Winning award(s) doesn't make a series good. Those can be bought fyi.

Fourcade:
Now i'm curious. . .we have different tastes and i would like to know the Tv Series you find interesting.

House of Cards has it all- the drama and Action.The series is very different from other series.Shows how Kevin Spacey and his wife move their way to the top.Kevin Spacey's acting is so on point.The scheming,politics, back bitting and manipulation makes it very interestinerrg that you would like to know what happens next.

Haba donhils maka why?

No, I didn't say House of cards is not interesting, I only said it's overrated. The way people talked about it made me to rush into it; it was cool to watch but nothing out of ordinary happened. At least it's way better than The newsroom in my opinion.

francawilson:
Is there anythng dat shld mak me watch Scandal S4? Apart frm d Olivia-Finch lamish romance? And The over rated cliche-ish Command? What's happening in S4?

Revenge is another shallow series. Afta fastforwarding S1&2;I didn't bother finishing d rest.

@RayMc, what's ur take on House of cards? I want 2knw if I'm d onlÝ on dat thinks d show is over rated.

BTW, thanx 4d link u gav me 4 WWE series. I use it 2download al d latest WWE.I so so so lovetheir d®ama. That's wot took me away frm series.

I also think House of cards is overrated. I watched it and didn't see any of the fuss about it.

Fourcade:
He thought it was a pow pow pow ,pushow pushow ,boom Tv Series.

I believe if this Final Season wasn't cut to six episodes it would have been the best.They summed everything up in Episode 5 and i didn't like how everything went fast.

I will miss these guys. . .nothing to look forward to on Sundays now.

You have no idea of my genre of series so don't talk trash here, you cant even know my thoughts so how can you tell that I thought the thing was pow pow pow, pushow? The point is I didn't like it. Simple!!! If you did, then good for you and move on. There are others that I may like and you won't like them. I wonder how you even understood the series when with common sense you don't know there are individual differences.
How come it ended so suddenly? Most interesting series don't end like that.

Fourcade:
I'm through with the show and i absolutely loved it.

Different strokes for different folks then.

Finally I've watched season 1 of the newsroom and I didn't see all the rave reviews you gave it. This series is almost boring. But am continuing it to see the end of it. I also read that the series was abruptly brought to an end yesterday after only 6 episodes in season 3.
What a dry show.

I have noticed with a bit of pains that prayer works
on people and not me!

I have had the opportunity to pray and intercede for
people and it comes out positive, but one surprising
fact
is that I hardly get answers when I pray for
myself...

It all started during my degree years; I will teach and even help people during examination but often time their result comes out better than mine.

Fast forward to 2days ago. I prayed for someone who was
koboless, to have a surprise gift to the tune of
hundred
of thousands for a project she scrambled for. Less
than 56 hours later, she got it.

I personally dropped someone's CV to be considered for
bank job and less than 20hours letter the person
received a call for interview.

And today I prayed and
my kid sis was given a visa....where as I have tried
severally without succeeding.

This, amongst other
bizzare
experiences have become a cause for concern.

Matured advice only please!

If that's true, then keep praying cos it simply means your ministry is to intercede for others.

MaziOmenuko:
This is the right calculation. I made the inquiry at Gtbank and got something like that. I then wondered why I will tie down my 500k for a whole month just to get a little over 2k. Meanwhile, a savings account with Gtb with a little over 200k gives me an interest of 1,500 or thereabout monthly.

It's still not true. You can't save 200k and get 1500 interest in a month. Fixed deposit of 200k can't give you that amount not to talk of ordinary savings.

Interesting... I hope this is true

naijacutee:
Last month, I happened upon some money from an old investment which had matured. Rather than have it collect “one one naira” in my standard savings account, I decided not to be the fly that follows the corpse to the grave, and put it in a fixed deposit. Fixed deposits are a very popular investment option in Nigeria, and you’ll hear about them 8 times of out 10 if you do happen to ask for advice regarding how to invest money. The attraction to this sort of investment is that returns are guaranteed, and the duration of your investment is flexible. We probably like this sort of investment because they help us mitigate risks – in a country where nothing is guaranteed, we don’t tend to tie money down in long term investments and fixed deposits are the perfect solution to this investment problem. In the course of my search for a decent return on my investment, I “burnt” at least N5,000 in credit, calling banks and waiting in queues for information, and was only able to reasonably compare two banks – GTBank and First Bank.

What is a fixed deposit?
A fixed deposit is a lump sum deposited with a bank for a varying period, in exchange for interest.
How to put your money in a fixed deposit: You will need to have an existing account with the bank of your choice, and then you deposit the sum into this account. You will then need to inform your bank of your intention to “fix” the said sum for “X” number of days. It is very important that before you make your decision, that you shop around for the best rates. You are not obliged to fix your money with your existing bank, just because you bank with them. You can earn a significantly higher amount by just picking up the phone. It is the more difficult route when you consider call waiting times, credit spent etc but it is worth it, and what’s more I have done some of this hard work for you.

How long is my money fixed for?
Most banks offer flexible periods of 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 180 days and one year.

How do I get paid?
Usually, the money is removed from your account and the interest is paid into your account. So for example, you want to fix N500,000 for 60 days and the bank has offered you an interest rate of 7%. You have N550,000 in your account. Once you confirm you’re making the arrangement and sign all the necessary documentation, the N500,000 “disappears” from your account to be “fixed”. At the end of 60 days, you get paid back your original N500,000 + an additional N35,000 interest accrued. A simplified version of what really happens behind the scenes is that the N500,000 is given to another customer who has asked for a loan – but he will be charged 20% interest (or N100,000). After 60 days, you get back your N500,000 + N35,000 (7% interest from the other customers N100,000). Not bad business for banks, if you ask me.

Bank interest rate comparisons
For my enquiries, I called First Bank and GTBank.
I rated both banks on customer service quality (pet peeve of mine, because time is money) and interest rates.
tbankvsfirstbank

Interest rates
First Bank
7 days (First bank does not offer this service)
30 days – 9.25%
60 days: 9.50%
90 days: 9.75%
365 days: 10%
GTBank
Available from N100,000 to N1m.
7 days – 3.75%
30 days – 180 days : 6.25%
Some notes:
Call times. My initial contact with both banks was on a Friday afternoon, at about 5.30pm. My second contact attempt with GTBank after the first one proved futile was at 3.20pm on a Sunday.
Omissions. I initially wanted to include Accessbank in this exercise, but have been unlucky in getting through to a knowledgeable person on customer service. The frontline staff I have spoken to, all seem to lack basic knowledge regarding what services their banks offer and where to get information outside the limits of their knowledge. I would recommend that training is provided for all front line staff as a matter of urgency, as customers otherwise have no way of getting informed about competitive rates for your most lucrative services.
Am I an agent? I work for neither of these banks. My selection of this two is purely by chance and accessibility of contact information via the bank websites. I simply picked the banks with the most prominent contact information via websites. My reviews are unbiased, and if I haven’t reviewed any others yet, don’t worry – “life is turn by turn”.

Don't be deceived, 35k accrued on 500k for 60 days is based on simple arithmetic which says that interest is per annum. In other words, if you fix 500k for 60 days i.e 2 months, what you'll get at the end of it is 35k divided by 12 and then multiplied by 2. So 500k will yield a lil below 6k for you in 2 months. And you'll be charged 10% of the interest too.

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde Thursday, lamented that billions of naira was being lost annually, to those he referred to as “examination malpractice practitioners”.
Ojerinde also disclosed that the Board was collaborating with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), to provide credible biometric data.
The JAMB boss made the disclosures in Abuja, at the 11th Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) Good Governance Forum..
According to JAMB’s helmsman, most parents are deeply involved in examination malpractice, as they are said to hire “touts” to help candidates.
