As long as the perpetrators are not presumed to be herdsmen, then it won't make news. That is the kind of hypocritical country we now live in.

iamjavadem:
But you believed the others without this questions.

They will believe anything as long as it's against the Fulanis. That is how hypocritical they are. That is why I don't engage people in argument on this forum.

FoolishBoy419:
You people are just dumb people with nothing but hatred. Im neither a christian nor a muslim so its not that im supporting amy side. Both of them are at fault here. The berome people as far as i know them are just as bloodthirsty as the fulani men. During my time in jos there was a time 3 non-fulani muslims were killed just because of the herdsmen crises. We are talking about 2 mad groups of people here

To some, it's a Christian vs Muslim issue. They don't care about the truth. In fact, they're not interested in the truth.

ebbo:
For those of us that ply the road to Jos often, we understand what it takes to get trapped in those senseless violence, so much that it has become the usual practice that on approaching Jos, we send out a call to those living inside it to find out whether it is safe to proceed.

Some years ago, my sister and uncle were caught up in that unfortunate chaos. They were fortunate enough to escape (out of luck) to the Muslim quarter of Bukuru town. If they had escaped to the wrong location or belong to a different faith, their fate will completely be different.

In the university in 2008, my room-mate had the unimaginable misfortune of losing his father in the conflict. His parents were caught in the unfortunate chaos, father and mother separated. The fact he was a Yoruba man did not apply. All his killers cared was that he was a Muslim and therefore guilty and condemned to die in their hands.

At Secondary School in the early 2000s, I was moved to tears when a Fulani classmate narrated how he lost three generations of his family in Heipang. Their family had lived there for generations only for them to be wiped out in a single surge of violence. His escape was only a miracle. His mother who was lucky to be away for a wedding fainted at the sight of him because his funeral rites were already conducted in absentia, having thought to have shared the terrible fate of his other family members.

All the individuals mentioned in the above instances may be reading this post. I have known real people who have been slaughtered while passing through Jos. I could be one of them, given a different quirk of fate. My family members could also be victims, God forbid!

As a result, there is the tendency for someone like me to see the conflict through those lenses, that my people are the victims and the 'other side' is the perpetrator. The same way someone whose local community in Plateau live in constant fear of invasion and attack by armed marauders, where local people could not farm their lands in peace or carry on with life in security and safety will see his people as sole victims and others as perpetrators.

That is how one-sided, mutually rejecting narratives set back the wheel of reconciliation. The crises in Plateau is so muddled up that it is now completely detached from its root causes. It first began as local politics borne out of ethnic and sectarian political struggle between the so called Hausa settlers and the native Beroms in Jos North.

For long, the Fulani, who have a long history of cultural intercourse with those local communities are kept out of those conflicts. It was until the Shendam anti-Fulani pogrom that the Fulani was brought into the equation, and from that, cycles of reprisals and counter-reprisals have so distorted the reality on ground, bringing a dominant ethnic and sectarian narrative to the fore.

That makes peace even difficult. Because all sides have genuine grievances, all sides have genuine complaints of victimhood. The first step towards peace is not in apportioning blame, the first step towards peace is in accepting that all sides have a point and that peace is possible only through dialogue and not further confrontation.

The Jos conflict is different from Boko Haram or even rural banditry where the enemy can be criminalized and targeted. In an ethnic or sectarian conflict, you cannot criminalize an entire ethnic or sectarian group. And above all, you cannot enforce peace by sheer use of force. Force should only be used to create an enabling environment for reconciliation and dialogue.

I know some may feel force alone could do this, but if that's possible, we will not be where we are today. Obasanjo declared a state of emergency but the killing still continued. Since 1999, the Plateau conflict continues under four successive Nigerian presidents, two Muslim, two Christians. If it were a Muslim conspiracy, the two Christian presidents would have stopped it. Likewise if it were a Christian conspiracy,

The truth is that there is a deliberate attempt to paint the Fulanis/Muslims as the problem, but those who know the Berom people and some Christian communities in the middle-belt know exactly what is happening. Right now, it's being escalated in order to make the government of the day unpopular, since the head is a Fulani man.

Have you asked yourself why, all of a sudden, the Fulanis became crazy and started killing people? These are Fulanis that have, for the most part, lived peacefully with host communities, and all of a sudden, started killing their hosts since the emergence of Buhari as the president. It doesn't make sense. People know exactly what is happening, but then again, it soothes the agenda of the opposition and those who don't want Buhari as the president.

Hello Gurus in the house.

I have smile router B593 which I will like to unlock. But my intention is to use a swift network sim from my swift router on it.

I have both smile and swift router but my smile router can easily connect to my wireless camera but swift can't.
swift data are also cheaper and which is why I have abandoned my smile router and sometimes subscribe to it just to connect the camera.

What I don't know is if the swift sim will work on the smile router after unlocking The smile B593 router

Thanks

Well, According to Specs sheet, the Huawei B593 variants that support Smile FDD LTE Band 20(800) don't support Swift TDD LTE Band 40(2300). So, technically and according to specs, it won't work. see below specs sheet for yourself.

These are the variants of Huawei B593 there are;

HUAWEI B593s-601: Band 3/7/40 (FDD 1800/2600MHz & TDD 2300MHz)
HUAWEI B593u-12: Band 1/3/7/8/20 (FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz)
HUAWEI B593s-22: Band 1/3/7/8/20/38 (TDD 2600 FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz) (Speed to 150Mbps)
HUAWEI B593s-82: Band 38/40 (TDD 2300/2600MHz)
HUAWEI B593s-850: Band 38/39/40 (TDD 1900/2300/2600MHz)
HUAWEI B593u-91: Band 38/40 (TDD 2300/2600MHz)

You most likely have one of the emboldened.

exo2600:
Attached is the network settings

In the APN settings, hope the MCC-621 MNC-40 codes are there.

exo2600:
I have tried it, not working

First of all, select ntel as the data sim and input ntel APN, now you just need to get to the *#*#4636#*#* screen, then enter the 'Phone information' of your ntel sim.
Now switch on Airplane mode.

If the network mode is on LTE Only, switch it to any other network mode.

But if it is already on any other network mode aside LTE Only, just disable Airplane mode, and quickly switch it to LTE Only before the ntel signal appears. The network signal will be stable. That is the trick.

But if you don't quickly select LTE Only before network signal pop up, it will disappear.

Basically, unlike other methods, this only takes 5-10 seconds to get it working.

Just watch the video

Follow the above guide. If it doesn't work for you, try macbeyland's method. Also, screenshot the network modes(4G/LTE, 3G, 2G) in Settings and post it here.

adamix:
I can make calls on mine, i can send and receive messages

As in, you can initiate calls? Because some say they can only receive but can't initiate calls.

BeardedTraveler:
That page has the link of a guy that sells Taiwanese version on eBay for around $290 (4/64gb)

Cc dustmalik

Thanks, but I've already ordered for the Global version 4/64gb, through the CBN governor himself, Noobody, via DHL, and should be here in a couple of days.

VocalWalls:
You sound dumb underestimating Nigerians. I use a 4K with Netflix and I’m not the only one.

There are also lots of 4K videos on YouTube which I can stream from my YouTube app.

The fact that you subscribe for 1gb does not mean everyone else does same. I was recently amazed at the number of Nigerians who have ditched dstv for Netflix, many who haven’t are limited by their TV’s capabilities.

So, maybe you should look deeper, before casting ill thought aspersions.

Mind telling us which internet data plan you are using to stream like that?

b0y:
It freaking worked!!! On my RN4X. Thanks a million brother. You are the boss.

Enjoy, brother.

4llerbuntu:
Seems that *#*#86583#*#* did the trick for me.

When I did that it came up.

Even volte symbol came. But volte calls don't won't sha. If I try to call out the signal disappears. Data works fine though

Yeah. Someone else made mention of this also. I don't know why that is.

adamix, Is this also the case on the Chinese version?

4llerbuntu:
Ugh. Just my luck. LTE bands..<<<<<<<<<

That's the Indian variant. This is the one you have.

Lol..... Yeah, i saw the thread a few weeks back, and i even made a comment there. The band 28 variant is only available in Taiwan. My research shows that you can actually buy it in Taiwan, but i couldn't find a store that ships overseas from Taiwan.

4llerbuntu:
Could you believe I can't get ntel to work on my note 5?

Sigh

I don try tire, I kuku don return the Sim to my note 3
.
I don't know the type of luck I've had with ntel and xiaomi. It only works on custom roms.

No matter how much I try. All the tips I don try. Nothing nothing

Here is a video I made on how to get ntel working on Xiaomi devices on any miui version. Unlike the other method I saw on this thread, this works whether your sim is on sim 1 or 2, or even if it's the only sim in the phone.

First of all, select ntel as the data sim and input ntel APN, now you just need to get to the *#*#4636#*#* screen, then enter the 'Phone information' of your ntel sim.
Now switch on Airplane mode.

If the network mode is on LTE Only, switch it to any other network mode.

But if it is already on any other network mode aside LTE Only, just disable Airplane mode, and quickly switch it to LTE Only before the ntel signal appears. The network signal will be stable. That is the trick.

But if you don't quickly select LTE Only before network signal pop up, it will disappear.

ajog1:
Given the assertion that the phone may have been flashed with global rom; is it in any way of lower quality than the "standard version?" I am in a fix as to why there should be a difference between global rom and global version.

Basically, the only real difference between the Chinese and Global version is LTE band 20(800) which is present in the global version, but not in the Chinese version. You can flash global rom on the Chinese version, but that won't enable band 20.

In Nigeria, only Smile and MTN Nigeria deploy their LTE over band 20, that is in addition to MTN's band 7(2600).

jesse8048:
Yes, and it disappears with the 4g and normal network

If you are rooted with magisk, search for the module called VoLTE enabler. Install it and reboot, see if the VoLTE becomes stable.

Talkingboy:
Dustmalik

No , Volte is not displayed in status bar

Try the methods posted here https://www.nairaland.com/3121922/subscriber-options-unlimited-internet-worth/144#68362398

jesse8048:
Good morning all, who has been able to make calls with the ntel Sim. I'm using redmi 5plus and each time I try to network will simply disappear completely. I was able to check my balance and I have N910, I guess the N1000 paid for the Sim was returned.

Do you see VoLTE written on the status bar?

luvlyoracle:
How would i know this pls

The mobile number range is 0704 or 0702. You can also get a landline number sim, for instance, in Abuja it would be something like 09-2287765, but the landline is also mobile. You can take it anywhere MTN has coverage.

jesse8048:
If done, then MTN 4g is gonna be really hot.

You can already use band 20(800) on MTN. All you need is an MTN sim which is on the Visafone number range, such sim support both band 7(2600) and Band 20(800). I've had such sim since last year when they started issuing them.

alosbaba007:
I recently applied the volte activation setting posted some days ago, to be honest it's so damn good.

It came up instantly on my redmi note 5a prime using the 3rd method and since then I can receive call on my ntel line but can't call out, also I don't need to dial dt code or change it to (LTE only) everytime I reboot, signal comes up instantly with the VOLTE logo even before 9mobile.

On my Mi Max it's not the same result I applied all the 3 methods and volte toggle button came up in setting but was not activated for ntel.

Anyone using ntel on mi max with volte setting fully activated?

ntel VoLTE only work on newer generation of Xiaomi devices, starting from Mi max 2. It won't work on RN4(mido) either. This only applies to ntel, but of course if you find yourself else where, say in India, for instance, it would work even on older xiaomi devices.

dozies1:
They would only be able to flashing it if the bootloader is unlocked. You should be able to locate it if find my device is turned on.

This is not true. It can be flashed even with a locked bootloader.

OP, you are not making any sense. So if the organizers want Adamu to present the award, did you expect Magu to reject it or what?

stixz:
It does. I use mtn 4g. No 4g only option

Dial *#*#4636#*#*, enter Phone information and select 'LTE Only' as the network connection mode.

Proudlyngwa:
We got it wrong, when a certain wife of a certain president was calling the tribe members of the then opposition candidate. ' Children of born throwaway' and no apologies was giving by the then president.

Note to learn.
It is not when you sow a seed, you harvest immediately.

Also take note, it is only a certain group of people, that has been shouting Islamisation and making jest of other peoples religion

Excellent answer

JulianoB:
Thanks. Method 3 worked, previously VoLTE was missing and it was not possible to toggle it from phone information but after trying the method, it worked.

No p. Enjoy

toluxa1:
Is the intermittent stops peculiar to wawu?

It is. You wouldn't experience it on the unlimited plans and other non-wawu limited data plans.

adamix:
Yep...on all volte enabled roms

Cool

adamix:
Yes for both questions

Do you get VoLTE on any custom ROM?

adamix:
Ntel...speed okay

But you do experience those intermittent stops while downloading, right?

By the way, have you tried custom roms on your note 5?
