Two days ago I lost my phone on my way back from work. So I decided to buy/register a new sim card yesterday.

So I branched to Ajah (along Ado road) to buy and register a new sim pending when I will have time probably by weekend to retrieve my old number.

While the registration was ongoing, I noticed the agent/vendor was selling already registered sims to customers without NIN, I became curious to know how possible it is considering all the protocols involve in registering new sims. So I asked him how much he sells the already registered sims and he told me 5k and I was still wondering how possible it can be.

So to confirm whether or not it's true I paid for a sim (5k) and he started with the "processing". First of all, there is this guy that came in to complain that his number was blocked even though he has NIN and had link it with his sim. The vendor through the help of the device they run their business with confirmed that there is a variation in the name used in registering the sim and the one in the NIN so he was told to wait (till he is done doing my work).

So after I paid for the already registered sim, I was surprised that the agent now called the man and started taking his passport. I picked offense by this attitude and confronted him(the agent) for abandoning me for another customer even though I came before him. At this point, he cornered me and told me to chill and that he was still on my work but only wanted to use the guy's NIN to link the already registered sim I paid for.

I was mad. So this is the extent people can go in a bid to make money? Imagine if I actually needed that sim and maybe I use it to perpetuate some crimes(God forbid) who do you think will be held responsible for it? I decided to bring this here to at least advise/warn us to be very careful and cautious of who has access to our NIN especially during this period that most sims are barred.

Pardon my grammar/typos. Thanks

So you paid 5k for SIM Card?

Why no broker peace.

How much information do you have about ASCO.

On this thread, I can easily know who knows whats you. Besides, the issue will ASCO in beyond the contractor or technology. If not the indians wouldn't have left.

Goodbye Sir

Absolute Bulllll...

You still have not shown us the lie in the video.

Go and read the first link you posted, and check the context in the writeup. Do so intelligently.

1stGenAmerican:
Watch Tucker Carlson, America’s biggest lunatic and conspiracy theorist who can lie for all of North America?

At least state the lie.

God1000:
I won't watch it dear, anything from fox news is 100% lie and toxic, they are only good in propaganda, character assassination and campaign of calumny

They are telling you the truth.

Now, watch the video and tell us, what's not true there.

God1000:
The love between these two great Americans is unprecedented.

Americans are still missing Obama, but thank God they have Biden now.

I see Kamala Harris succeeding president Joe biden as well, those are the people that truly care about the welfare and wellbeing of African Americans

Lol Chymall wey fold up over a year ago.

Really!!!!!

Some of my guys in church, no let me rest because of Chymall.

I thought I was reading chymall.

But then, what about chymall. I don't hear about it again. may need to chat up those telling me about it.

Deny the fact that PDP has been a monumental party in Delta State since over years now. What has PDP brought to Delta close to 24years now? Are you happy with Okowa . Spending almost 2 years now to construct a water passage from UTI to Pti junction? Are you happy as we speak, Warri has remained the same old warri without any infrastructural development? Jakpa junction, Enerhen Junction, PTi junction would have added different flyovers to ease the traffic. Come to Ebonyi state, come to Kano state, those are states without oil revenue.
They are all doing far better than your Delta State. Are happy that the bushes, over 200 Uduagban bought for BRT , non is feasible again in Delta State as we speak? Are you happy that Uduagban started BRT lane from Enerhen Junction down to refinery junction which is less than 8 Klm abandoned?
Go to Rivers State. They all have left your Delta State far behind

You are talking out of point and you know it.

My reaction is you calling Ovie Omoagege as a remedy and mentioning "thieving" in the same statement.

I don't play ethnic politics and I don't hold on to a party. But for Delta state, sorry you can't be mentioning Ovie, as remedy.

I know most of the politicians in that state very well and know how they operate.

Even when Ovie was special assistant to Ibori and then a commissioner.

My point is, if you truly wrote all you wrote up there and then mentioned Ovie. Then I know where you belong.

I easily detect those who know what's up and are sincere. You are so far from being sincere.

Afamed:
DSP , Omo Agege is our choice. Enough of thieving PDP in Delta

Who are you??

You even added "thieving" to your nonsense.

You are not even from the state,the reason for this statement.

How does that snake charmer work.

HazardAwka:
TSTV doesn't have CNN

Nothing special with CNN. Do fox new.

CaptainFM1:
You just made another great mistake. Why don't you use the money to get an Android TV box and enjoy IPTV to the fullest?

Is IPTV free? Just asking

What about Data.

LegendHero:
Nice one Banky. This is better than contesting under mushroom parties.

I also like you for being bold coz lot of other celebrities do wish to contest too but are scared of what online youths with say about them joining APC or PDP.

You now have to face Ibrahim Obanikoro of APC if you win the primaries. The guy is also sound and intelligent so that make sense for Eti-Osa.

I just hope hypocritical people won't cry blue murder if a celeb declare under the APC too.

You just reminded me of the Obanikoro guy. Since he won, didn't hear of him again.

seunmsg:
Learn to read and understand. Terminating the concession doesn’t not mean terminating an already obtained loan. It simply means Lagos state government is now the full owner of LCC (the concession company) and the state government has inherited the assets and liabilities of the company. The loan is still outstanding and has to be paid.

Share the details of the loan... You are not being smart here.. this debate have been done with top Logos government personal and they are neither here nor there.

Do it with evidence.

VaselineCrew:
If they were making about 20 million naira per day, then in a month that would be about 600 million naira. In a year, that would be about 7.2 BILLION NAIRA.

How much was then used to construct the road?

Isn’t a toll road supposed to be used to avoid traffic? Why would people be forced to pay for a road and then experience one of the most horrendous traffic jams in Lagos?

Are Lekki people the only ones in Lagos that should be paying toll?

What about Ikeja? Surulere? Yaba? Ikorodu?...

In America, they toll highways that provide a shorter distance to your destination. So in Houston Texas for instance, the George Bush highway may be rolled, but they have alternative highways.

Please let that sink in...

ALTERNATIVE HIGHWAYSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

So you still have free highways with 3 or more lanes should you decide to bypass a toll.

The time is 7:41a.m now and the traffic on the road is already building, yet you want these same people to suffer tolling?

These politicians are so corrupt in Nigeria, and when you speak up or protest, you are shouted down or chased away by thugs and zombie police officers.

Look at the traffic already, and it only gets worse, much much worse.

The most annoying part of this whole thing is having Lagosians that live on the mainland supporting the toll, because it doesn’t affect them, very selfish people.

Ask them to support rolling on their street and they will start giving excuses.

It's just election money.

seunmsg:
It was constructed with a loan obtained by LCC. The loan is to be paid back by tolling. So, what has Tinubu got to do with this? Why can’t people be responsible and pay what is due at the tolling gate?

And this?

This tolling is just to forcefully get money from people. Nothing more.

The toll gate is useless and should be removed.

Kenog4real:
I remember back then in secondary school. We use to have this portable radio called palito. Having one then shows you are big boy. That was before the advent of Walkman . We love to listen to some of the loving radio stations programs then especially in the night. When we left school, some continues to listen with their phone as palito and Walkman dependa on one having to buy batteries every time. But as the year goes by and there is advancement in almost everything, I personally that love to stay awake to listen to those loving programs with the classic musics and also listen to sport news especially on Monday morning from different stations even though I watched all the weekend matches found it a little boring to listen to radio programs now.

So guys with the radio app coming with every of the phones we use now, when last did you listen to Radio.

Today on my way to work.

Has he said anything about the drainages in Lagos?

Please we should know those we give attention to.

At least we can now focus on other important things.

Politics has divided Nigeria badly.

semanose:
In Lagos, they are very thorough with the whole inspection exercise.


Last month, I had to go three times before, I was given RDW.

The inspecting officers seemed to find a problem each time I went.

I found a hack and I passed the last time.

@OP Road Worthiness is important.

It's not so important .it's more of revenue.

How many danfo in this Lagos is road worthy, based on your experience with the inspection officer.

That paper doesn't make the vehicle road worthy.

tekjansen2:
I know it is a pain, but roadworthiness is very very necessary.

The thing is, a lot of accidents in this country are caused by badly maintained cars.

Best to have standards, even if it makes us uncomfortable.

They should allow people use the money to make their vehicle road worthy.

All this is to collect money from Nigerians.

The paper doesn't make the vehicle road worthy.

buygala:
Please what research did you do to arrive at the bolded conclusion? ?


You can make your point without manufacturing fairy tales Sir

Did you do your research to counter my point?

okoroemeka:
will he be ready for local government thugs,road unions,produce and revenue officers,agberos and police,pls leave that car and look for a sanity friendly vehicle,that bus is purely a commercial vehicle,it is just like driving a Toyota Dyna as private car.

And the sienna?

More than half of the sienna on Nigeria roads are for commercial.

@Op,

If you like the vehicle, go for it.

But we had lot of threads where they came back together.

That show is a sacrifice.

MadamOk:
People asking this question are Lagos

There's butterflies � in the village where there is bushes

Butterfly � is always around sunflower � plant

Go to your village and check. It's going extinct

It was announced 12 years back that butterflies are going extinct.

Imagine my little ones see butterfly as strange.

This we played with as children

Atiku omo ole. Anyway, when is Peter Obi Pandora declaring?

This is hate speech.

omenkaLives:
So Umahi who is arguably one of the best three governors in the country has suddenly become a good for nothing old thief.

Smh.

Nigerians don't give a Bleep about good governance. All they care about is having their preferred party candidates in power. Doesn't matter if he's the worst of the pack, just belong to a party they prefer.

And the government you support?

Do you even agree this current government is not doing well?
