This is certainly from the stable of APC media! Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! Punch, The Cable, Daily Trust and other credible media reported it and these people came up with this nonsensical write-up to deceive people. I like Buhari, but his strength is failing him. Old age has incapacitated him. Let him give way for a "digital camera leadership".

Some of the media houses you mentioned have now also published IBB's denial. In fact, TheNation has just published the denial in full.

IBB DEBUNKS STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT BUHARI

My attention has been drawn to a report making rounds especially online in which I was quoted as advising Nigerians not to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the coming 2019 election.

Not only is the said statement untrue, it is in its entirety, an inaccurate representation of my view of the state of our dear Nation.

As a former President and an elder statesman, I have existing communication channels through which I reach out to President Muhammadu Buhari on topical issues of national importance, should there be the need so to do.

The media, both online or mainstream and indeed the unsuspecting public are advised to disregard such false reports.

Thank you and God Bless you all.

Yeah, this is more like the Ibrahim "Maradona" Babangida that we know!

You seem very confused about your own arguments. Evidence of people that like to talk first before thinking.

In your first post that I criticised. I criticised you for saying OBJ did not give alternatives.

Next time, take time to think before you talk.

Learn this: Talking is not a sign of high intellect. Keeping quiet about issues you don't understand is not a sign of stupidity. The content and quality of what is said is the measure of your intellect.

Aha, it's a trolling bully! I refuse to feed it any further; it's now totally ignored.

Are you kidding me??
When will the North get "common sense,"?
So in a population of over 180 million educated and vibrant citizens it is a sickly 85 year old Buhari that is the most qualified and best option for Presidency?
The same person that has shown total incompetence in governance and outright lack of leadership qualities?
I didn't like Jonathan's corrupt govt, but I dare say Jonathan showed far better understanding of governance than Buhari has shown. And Jonathan surrounded himself with technocrats who had administrative competence. Buhari doesn't know jack and he has tribalistically surrounded himselves with incompetent hands who are on the driving seat of governance.
Buhari knows he is old and incompetent, so he allows his goons to take decisions. It is these goons that Aisha Buhari called " the Cabals".
It is this same Buhari that you tell me is the best candidate that no one can defeat?

I'm not given to emotions, and I honestly wouldn't know why you feel so superior to, or what you mean by, "the north." Furthermore, I wouldn't know how you'll ever come to the conclusion Aisha would want her husband replaced by his party at this point or for the 2019 elections?

Having said that, I'm afraid you're running away from facing the real question: Who has the potential of defeating Buhari at this point in our political climate? It's not a question of whether or not we have another person out of 180 million of our people. The question is, let him/her show up or be identified and hit the ground running already! Even the now rag-tag APC took about two years as a fused party — along with the "good" fortune that the then ruling PDP had a damaging breakup — to become somewhat solid enough and come to power over an incumbent.

And here we are, (i) just one year to the next election already, (ii) the ruling party is not showing any serious signs of breaking up, and (iii) there's no viable opposition — including Mr. Obasanjo's CN — in sight, and some people are hoping for a miracle to throw forth a candidate that will defeat the APC candidate? Sorry, I honestly don't believe in such miracles.

That's the logic. Hopefully something proves it wrong for the sake of those amongst us who would consider it "poo," and who see the majority of actual voters only in themselves or their own images.

Good luck, everyone!

Sagamite:
Please show me where you identified "Obasanjo's purported suggestion".

In my post which you originally reacted to, all I said was that Obasanjo's latest "CN" idea was a "CoN," and Obasanjo a "Con-man" as a result. If that was not what you thought you were reacting to, then I don't know what else to say.

In the meantime, I'm happy to no longer tangle with you on this issue, and so carry my own cross alone.

Good luck!

When you finally get a functioning brain, you will realise men with one and who are strategic in nature show their cards in phases.

They don't think, talk and behave like Amala strategist like you.

Welcome to Phase 1!

If your profiling me as an "Amala strategist" for identifying Obasanjo's purported suggestion as being unrealistic makes you feel like a superior thinker, good for you.

Those who do the actual voting (outside social media, which section is miniscle in terms of the actual ballot-casting population, anyways,) will speak to Obasanjo when next they have a chance - in February, 2019.

'Nuf said.

Obasanjo has identified a lot of our problems, like most minds have always done. Unfortunately, Obasanjo has not provided any viable or real world alternatives or solutions!

Yes! It has been unlocked over 2years now. This development just started yesterday

Well, depending on the firmware involved, some of these devices are known to get re-locked or misbehave when their firmwares are "upgraded" after the device had been unlocked previously. Sometimes, such an upgrade by the user is done unknowingly, mainly because the modem interface defaults to "Upgrade firmware" when switched on and there is a pending upgrade available.

I suspect you may have to unlock that device again, or downgrade/upgrade/change its firmware?

Good luck.

Lucky you, toluxa1. In my crib, about 1.3MB/s max is currently the order of the day on Glo.

BTW, come to think of it...it now sounds like fantasy that ntel was consistently delivering about 13MB/s in the same crib up until about one year ago! Hmm.

This Shehu Sani of a man cleverly diverts people's attention from the fact that he's one of the 108 senators collecting several millions of Naira every month from the nation's coffers without doing anything tangible, thereby further pauperizing his fellow countrymen, yet people follow him gullibly? SMH.

Why doesn't Shehu Sani just leave the comfort of the Senate behind, and be a true, less hypocritical activist?

Please is anyone having the same problem with SWIFT 4G LTE MIFI Huawei e5372 ? I have unlocked it a long time ago, I noticed since yesterday there has been No service on the MIFI. It says card invalid or no card found. I have tried other Sim including the original swift Sim and still no luck

Has it ever shown network reception on any SIM since it was unlocked? If no, the unlocking was probably done incorrectly or incomplete.

So, governor El-Rufai's policy and position prevail, after all. That's good for the children of Kaduna state, and kudos to the state's NUT for the new show of support for the governor's policy.

It's a benevolent thing, as well, that the government will give the unqualified, sacked teachers a second chance at getting employed; this the government will do by opening another door for such teachers to undergo a continuous education program. Those who thus become properly certified can then apply for re-employment.

This has been a win-win for Kaduna.

Who be this man sef? After this I suggest you don't quote me again. But then if you followed our "our quoting each other(I and NgeneUkwenu or whatever)", u would have known who got beef for the other. Besides we were only communicating and there wasn't a form of insult or exchange of abuse. So what beef are you talking about? I beg they your line ooooo.

I never said anyone insulted anyone, so please don't make things up, or take yourself or anyone else too seriously.

From the Urban Dictionary:

beef

..., to get into argument with another person, or group of people

BTW, anyone who posts on a public forum cannot get to choose who can or cannot quote him/her. That's some wisdom we all get to recognize and bow to, sooner or later.

Curious.

Which device do you use that uses just band 8 or allows you to specify Band 8?

I've suspected this difference n performance in the bands too. Especially when you are far from the mast only band 3 will.get to you. It goes further

I can do that on my phone but I'm not ready to turn my phone into modem. Sure way to kill the battery

You're right... I also don't believe there's currently a way to specify the use of a particular band on any of these mainstream modems/Mi-Fi's. I was just hoping that band 8 was there. At least the device would fall back on it in case ntel goes down on band 3 in one's area, which it certainly does — ad infinitum.

But I'll readily use my phone on band 8 as a hotspot from time to time, unless I experience severe cases of overheating, for instance.

I wasn't bluffing... Read the last three pages or so, and you'll see the testimonies (some positive, others negative) from those who are currently subscribed to ntel services. Like with most other networks, quality of service depends on your area.

My apologies you took such a defensive view of my suggestion.

Good luck.

Apina:
Glo is a scam. They advertised #500 for 2GB only to give 800MB at the end of the day. I just started using my sim after a year's absence and the first thing was for them to deduct my first recharge for some dubious service I never registered for. God in heaven knows I'm abandoning the SIM for real this time when I'm done with my credit.

In this case, I believe you didn't understand or apply the new rules, especially following your abandoning the line for so long. Glo's new rules have been all over the place for several months now.

Seek out and properly apply Glo's current subscription rules, and you'll receive 4GB for 1,000 Naira. In most cases, the complete data appears at once. In some instances, the core data is followed by the remaining bonus generally within 30 minutes.

Good luck.

Redhot111:
My friend, it's either u are not a Nigerian, in Nigeria or u are possibly not in Africa at all. If not, u would understand that Buhari's epic failure is not such that needs anyone telling another about. Every one knows about it just the way we all know that one plus one is two.


Does it take me to prove to you that a bag of rice that was sold for 8k became 24k immediately Buhari assumed power and still sells 4 around 18k 2yesrs down the line?


Does it also Take me to prove to you that naira fluctuates between 320 and 350 presently against the dollar presently and was even as high as 600 at one time during this same period that Buhari has been at the helms of affairs?

My guy, the fact that Buhari has failed and that he will also fail in the forthcoming election isn't something that needs proving. The earlier you reckon with wat is obvious, the better.

It's not about me, or what I believe the relative position currently is, compared to 2014/5, 2007, or even 1999. It's about your observed beef with Ngene. So, please wait on her to review your narrative or "case," and present hers, if she deems it warranted.

Good luck!

Redhot111:
Is that the case u wish to present with regard the post?

Actually, she needn't present a case, because you never presented any case, either. You simply made a statement (to the effect that, "Nigerians" would collectively unelect Buhari,) without you adducing any verifiable, unbiased proof/facts to back up your statement. On the other hand, she responded that no [known] politician can dethrone Buhari, also without her presenting any proof/facts to back up her claim.

So, why would you shift the goalpost and ask for a Ngene to present you a case?

When will this issue be fixed? I'm about to lose my mind because of this slow rubbish.

If you've followed the thread, you'd be aware that this "down time" issue with ntel is what those who stick with the network, cope with from time to time, so you better learn to live with it (mainly because of the unlimited data bouquets,) or bail.

For me, I tend to fill up ntel holes with Glo's 4G data. But, surprise, surprise: Glo in my crib is these days beginning to rival ntel's unreliability. Lol.

Is Ntel still cheapest. they are now doing unlimited 3 months for 35k; thats 11,667 NGN per month. good deal in my opnion. Is there any other unlimited service cheaper?

Thanks for this heads up, mehn, and I agree it's a fair deal; hopefully, someone like me would now no longer need to do that ntel + Glo "mix and match" thingy, LOL.

........
P34c3
.....
...

My latest strategy for [hopefully] getting through the month @ 10k total:

Glo's 30 GB @ 5k (for normal surfing and very light streaming, but no major downloading during the day, so managing 1 GB/day on average) + ntel's unlimited night, 10 P.M. to 6 A.M., @ 5k (for automated and unattended downloading, at mostly 1.1MB/s in my crib. It stops momentarily from time-to-time, though, but invariably picks up again, generally within one minute, in my observstion so far.)

I've been on this combo for about 10 days (see screen shots) already - no major hitch. Hopefully others have the same/a similar strategy, and it's working for them?

[Somewhere down the line, I'll try to swap the ntel part with Swift's advertised 3K for 3 GB with unlimited midnight to 6 A.M, IIRC, and see if it works in my crib.]

Good luck, everyone.
