Foolishness is when you expect a party that has been / is crises ridden, always fighting amongst themselves and have not held one single national convention for its party since inception to fix a crises prone country like Nigeria ..I don't get it

Much more foolishness is to support this same party come 2019 to fix Nigeria ..This one pass me .

I'm sorry to say Nigerians have been hypnotized and the jazz is real..

I'm out!!!

Instead of all these lamentations on things that we already know about, I think we should be stating what the genuine alternatives are, or what a successful game plan should be, then mobilize for them. Those who can, should please also contribute.

For me, I think this APC party, for the sake of this country, should please just clean up house and separate the weed from the chaff among themselves. The side whose ideology gains the upper hand and has the recognition of INEC would now go for the election. If it loses, so what...it will just mean our society is not yet ripe for genuine partisan politics!

In which case, we just trod along, and wait for a God-given benevolent dictator - in the guise of a Jerry Rawlings of Ghana - to come clear up the mess. Hopefully, we'll then have an even better "Ghana."

Dear Nairalanders;

Airtel 4G is now seen in Lagos...

[img url=https://imgur.com/DGS1dFS][/img]

This is along the Lekki axis, a couple minutes ago. I didn't see this as late as last night when I last searched.

As stated elsewhere, Airtel's 4G signal is beamed on LTE Band 3.

In the meantime, I do not myself have an Airtel LTE/4G-enabled SIM card at this time, and so have not been able to ascertain whether or not Airtel's 4G signal can actually be used already on this axis. Over to you, folks.

Good luck.

Mr. not all of them are scammers, met one on nairaland since last year and up till now I have been buying data from him without any story that touches the heart. I can send you his number and evidence that he isn't a scammer

The funny thing is there's nothing to proof that your own statement is not in fact also a scam - or a precursor to it. LOL. If you're not doing a reverse scam yourself, or don't want to be a suspect, I'll advice you desist from dishing such advice; instead, encourage people to do their own research!

Just my own 2kobo.

thebosstrevor:
you deal sounds good but the ntel deal with 1 month subcription is very tempting

maybe when i buy ntel you will help me unlock it

AFAIK, ntel's MiFi's come already unlocked, it will now be a case of whether or not the other bands they support, if any, will be useful for your purpose. But please don't depend solely on my word for all of ntel's devices coming already unlocked ... @dustmalik has a much better handle on most things network/modem/MiFi in use in and around Abuja, so please ask him first, to be sure. (I'm based in Lagos.)

Good luck.

Thanks! I'm glad you found my post insightful.
I'm in lekki, Lagos. Also tested the networks in Maitama, Abuja

We're probably Lekki neighbours, then.

I noticed underground fibre cabling is currently ongoing in our neighborhood. Hopefully it is the backbone for, among other things, Net and cable services that begins within a year, or so.

Or may be it's just smoke!

They are understaffed. We need more security men by world standard.


The politicians should reduce their excesses and we would cut the cost of governance in Nigeria by more than half.

Good...the statement I've put in bold, is what you're supposed to be imparting on your reps and senators; we shouldn't be encouraging those same politicians to waste our money and time over unnecessary bills and security outfits, when not enough personnel, training, and equipment have been budgeted for just the police force, for instance.

Thanks Sir. We don't need another security agency just make the existing ones more efficient. Good one.

Good post. Yep, as in, a lot more personnel, equipment, training, orientation, and so on, for existing agencies, particularly the police.

The fact that he even regularly communicates back to the NASS on the bills he is withholding assent is highly commendable.

GEJ simply kept the bills piled up at the Villa without saying anything.

Sorry, from what I've read/seen this far, those your fellas could have better channelled the same money/energy/gusto — or even less — and been better placed to have joined, say, the police or the Defence Corp. They just gambled/fell for the sweet talk of that director owner.

someone I know has spent more than 300k on it so bro u are not alone

Seriously? If such cases are true, are those so scammed thinking they couldn't have gotten into, say, the Police Force proper while spending the same amount or even less money to bribe their way?

Honestly, I'm perplexed by the general perception of right and wrong in this our obodo Naija society!

No Nigerian network is perfect. They all have their good and bad days, reliable ones are expensive. To get the best, you have to have them all and be able to switch at any point. My advise is to get an "ashawo" phone. One that can work with any Nigerian 4g network. I use Nokia 2. Get all their 4g Sims. Spectranet, Ntel, Swift, Smile, Glo etc. Pay for their smallest 4g data subscription for testing. Anyone that works well for you.... Enjoy!

So far, below has been my experience and ratings.

Top Choice = Ntel = unreliable but fastest and cheapest @ N3,700/Week for truely Unlimited plan.

Spectranet= Reliable 12,500 40gb Truely Unlimited from 1am-7pm. So if you can stay awake you can do much downloads. Plus they give double data usually at the end of the month if you subscibe for some plans.

MTN 4g Expensive but very reliable. Also very mobile. You can change locations as you please and still get good speed.

Glo 4g was great at some point. 5k for 30gb was my go to plan. It got oversubscribed and super slow. They've cut it to 5k for 15gb. It's now fast but expensive. No longer worth it.

All the rest are either too expensive, unreliable or outright fraudulent ie (FUP fake unlimited plan �)

This is a wise post, for me especially the paragraph I've put in bold. Thanks for posting.

And, within which areas have you gathered these user experiences, if I may ask?

HI, I have morning star coming from the USA(in 2weeks time) at a cheaper rate also I still have one midnite left. @ Niyiomoiyunade my price and the products are real and genuine and have sold to some people on this forum. Thanks

I've been a mid-term lurker, and just looking at you, Niyi, D1, zee, kie, maka, JUO, as well as other SE systems gurus on here with one corner of my eye... You guys simply ooze inspiration. Thanks!

Kindly take note of my moniker, because sooner or later, you folks will have to hear from me for help and guidance, either privately, or on here, or both.

Keep the education with civility, transparency, and camaraderie going, folks.

My brother,check the names you mentioned and tell me where they correspond with ISIS,Taliban,Boko Haram,Hezbollah etc etc...Deep inside you, you can hardly find the cause your list below are fighting for... .But does it come to your mind what Taliban,Boko Haram,Hezbollah represents, YES IT DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoa, you mean you hadn't realized the KKK exterminated many blacks, burnt many at the stakes, and is still a terrorist group openly fighting to exterminate the black race? That's even worse than what ISIS purportedly stands for! And you're probably a proud black? Even if you ain't?

And that's just one of the examples you've been given and are trying to water down! How can anyone rationalize any terrorist group? Mehn, I'm speechless. Chai.

Don't mind them!
They cannot intimidate a governor - they cannot impeach him, they cannot withold anything due to him
The senators are worse than El Rufai - El Rufai is harsh but he is focussed.

He has consistently got his budget passed by 1 Jan
NASS is playing games with multiple taxation, But El Rufai has since 2016 passed laws to harmonise taxes and levies collected by State and Local governments
He has attracted several investors to boost the economy of the state
He decided that the state will collect revenue using POS to minimise fake receipts and personally told the market women and artisans not to pay igf the POS machine is not produced by the collection officer

He may be brutal, but he is getting result

The legislators are brutal, irredeemably corrupt and only obstruct

Your head dey there.

mashnino:
Lol..

I love nairaland, even people in america that don't even know the road to kaduna are talking too

El-Rufai is doing the right thing, go and quarell with your ancestors.

That was how you people made noise when shiite were dealt with in zaria.. Without understanding the terror they imposed on the people of zaria.

Go to zaria today and ask anybody, 95% of them will tell you they don't want the shiite back...

So keep on ranting.. El-Rufai keep on fixing, we dey your back

This brand of a message is totally lost on this forum. The place is infested, sorry.

babaolofin:
I am 100% with Gov El - Rufai. While I am yet to know if any prior notice had been given to the owner of the building, I believed the GIS authority must have evidence against the location of that building and notice would have been served to so many buildings violating the master plan.

I also agreed the timing is political. Politics is a game of chance. All those fighting el-rufai in Kaduna APC have never sacrificed for APC when APC was fighting the battle of her life against the machinery of ruling party. APC had become a brand when they used the brand to enter Senate.

Where were they when El - Rufai was fighting an intellectual political warfare against Jonathan? Baba Akande once asked a question two years ago, he said those people complaining " where were they when they were building the party?". We have come & chop people who got to Abuja & became demi gods because they are in Senate.

During the trying period of APC, el - rufai was very focal & analytical engaging the ruling government on all grounds . The people fighting el - rufai in Kaduna are local self made champions building on the image PMB had in the north & APC to build political identity. El - rufai is more intelligent than them & highly exposed & more useful to the party & to the president .

Most of those making comments on nairaland are anti Buhari & anti APC. Therefore, the faction of APC against el - rufai which they are supporting is not in the overall best interest of APC.

Good thinking.

According to confirmed reports, the head office of the All Progressives Congress (APC) faction which suspended Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, has been demolished. It was gathered that the demolition was carried out under the supervision of armed security personnel and some suspected thugs.

The team which pulled down the building located at Sambo road, GRA Kaduna, was said to have arrived at the place around 4am on Tuesday.

The faction known as Kaduna Restoration Group is led by Suleiman Hukunyi, senator representing Kaduna north central.

On Thursday, it issued a query to el-Rufai and suspended three of the governor’s aides.

The faction later announced that the governor had been suspended for six months.

This is the kind of targeted, focused iron hand tactic that's required to rule effectively in Nigeria, tbh.

And I dare say it ought to have been Buhari's approach to the ugly rebellion against their party by Saraki and Dogara then beginning to rear its head. Unfortunately, Buhari+Oyegun's lack of spine and the consequent inaction allowed the rebellion to fester. The result is that it has severely slowed down — if not crippled — Buhari's government thus far.

From what virtually everyone can now see, President Buhari cannot change, and the nation has to live with his limitations in this respect, hoping that his positives on the nation outweigh negatives in sustainable ways.

A lot of the lamentations are politically sponsored.
PMB has disappointed by not dealing decisively with the herdsmen issue. It is a serious error
But you can be certai that not al the people lamenting are folding their arms. There are a lot of unreported killing of Fulanis and their cows going on.

Most of the people shouting witch hunting and selective corruption war are guilty of being selective in pointing out the class war
When a Metuh, Fani Kayode etc is taken to court, we shout about witch hunting

When you and I are treated unfairly do the rich care, have you seen a search warrant issued when a poor man is involved?
Have you seen arrest warrant for a poor man?
Have you ever seen a poor man placed under house arrest

I cannot imagine that there are several senators who are also receiving pension as ex-governor/ex-deputy governor and we are pot calling them out
We are focussed only on President Buhari

Is ridding the country of Buhari enough? Infact, when the old guards resume their game do you think the lamentation will cease?

This is a very wise post full of wisdom, IMHO, even more so with the part I've highlighted.

But, hey, it is what it is the section of our polity that controls the narrative in the press, especially on social media.
