Mehn finally I made up my mind to get a starlink today, after more than 2 years of contemplating. Now I have Internet at home!
As my country big reach, we no get broadband. Na yankee isp still be the only sure network for those wey need stable internet service. Thank you mtn, you gave me the final push I needed. The 50k you guys took from me without giving me internet...I dash una.

Internet is not that expensive in Nigeria, there's a plan for everybody. The annoying part is when you pay for a data service and get no Internet.

dustmalik:
It's crazy, man. Internet is darn too expensive in this country.

Bro my sub is already like a waste, it is not usable. I'm still fully depending on my Glo and Airtel to access Internet at home. After this sub expire i no do again o.

slimjohn2k5:
Pray their cable no cut, u go understand poor service.

Cable cut for my area for over a month now nothing has been done. My subscription wasted.

From my understanding, this thing is still a new service. If it is already this bad at such an early stage then it will only get worse.
Most Nigerian companies lack responsibility/accountability, once they start rendering poor service like this, it will only keep getting worse cos they have nothing to worry about in terms of regulatory agencies. The only reliable Internet service in Nigeria is still starlink, I just need some spare cash to get one for myself asap.

I just want to know other people's experience with this mtn fibrex broadband Internet.

I was approached by one of their agents sometime around mid January. He told me that the service is now available in my area.

After the guy explained to me how it works, I paid for the first subscription so that they can come and do the installation for me. I previously had both Airtel and Glo mifi, I subscribe both all the time cause Glo is slow in my area but has a good uptime. Airtel is kinda faster, especially when streaming, but uptime is bad. So I previously had this slow Internet problem, that's why I jumped on this fibrex without thinking twice.

Bro I've been using this thing for over a month now, I even renewed my sub 3 weeks in cos I thought maybe data didn't come with it. It only works for like 1 minute (for real) and goes off for like 30 minutes. This has been my experience from day 1.

I've called their support several times regarding the matter and they're always apologising (like I'm paying for apologies, not Internet subscription.) One day they'll say its congestion, another day they'll say they're upgrading their infrastructures.

It's just so disgusting when I go online with my Airtel/Glo subscription and one of the first ad I see on YouTube is that yellow ferrari-like car zooming off on my face, meanwhile the one I have in my house can't even outrun a tortoise. So disgusting!

I'd like to hear from other users. How's your experience with fibrex?

tonytony208:
You are as daft as I thought you were.

So, you don't know that particular one with name tags will help fish out the rest?

How did you even become a contractor with such daft, slow manner of reasoning?!

Don't be too angry with life, calm down. I'm not trying to seek revenge, I shared my experience so others can also learn one or two things about those SARS.
I also saw your other reply where you talked about installing camera in my car, bro that will only work in theory not in practical. You think same police that seized my phones will allow the cameras in the vehicle to keep recording? You have to think twice

N3TRAL:
No evidence that this happened.

Even if it happened, if you told them that you're a building contractor and showed them evidence of your identity, they wouldn't harass you. Mention big names that you have worked for and where they can find some of the projects that you've executed. Show them building plans in your car and threaten to call your lawyer right there.

They're mostly uninformed and genuinely believed that you were a fraudster. They left you because it seems as though they discovered later on that you weren't a fraudster. That's what you were supposed to do the first moment you met them- make them believe your a proper citizen.

Everytime I drive through a checkpoint, they praise me for being able to identify myself. You need emotional intelligence to deal with policemen in Nigeria.

Bro I get your point, but that part I bolded was not the case. Those guys got every details of my business, my complimentary card, my stickers that I use on sites, my color charts, my catalog and every other thing relating to my business were all in my vehicle and they saw everything. You think they'd let me go if they were truly convinced I was a fraudster? I'm not a fraudster and I don't act like one, it is what it is bro.

Martinsmine:
Call the police name lets go and blow it on bird app

Could only get the name tag of one of them. He was part of the group that mounted the checkpoint, but he wasn't really part of those that harrased me (probably because he was in uniform) so I wouldn't put his name here.

If this was posted in the wrong section, a mod should help me move it

This post is just to enlighten young men who have a legitimate source of income and are doing well financially, you dont do drugs and you dont partake in crimes. You'd easily think you have nothing to worry about SARS police, this was my belief and thought hiltherto. But today, SARS don clear my doubt, lol.

I have been hearing a lot of stories about these SARS people and I always conclude that all their victims are scammers, but today it got to my turn and now I really regret my having such thoughts. Another thing I also regret is my criticism back then of those who took part in the END SARS protest about 3 years ago. From my experience today, I need nobody to tell me that those SARS police in un-named uniforms are insane.

I'm a young man in my mid 30s, a business man and also a building contractor in Benin city

Today, I took some workers to go check out some job at a new site. When I was coming back, I met some policemen at a checkpoint close to Ikpoba river. I thought it was just a normal checkpoint, they told me to park my vehicle for search. I parked and they told me to come down and open my hood, I opened it and the policeman started checking but he found nothing. The next thing he just walked up to me and collected my 2 phones and my purse, he started inserting his hands into my pocket and pulling out money, I was surprised at his attitude so I asked him what type of search he is doing. He said I should keep quiet that if I should say anything further he will finish me right there. I'm not the type of person you can intimidate with uniform, so I told him to stop searching me in that manner. He immediately got furious and he went back to my vehicle, flung open all the doors and scattered everything inside my vehicle but still he found nothing. Like play like play(sic) this un-named policeman said I should open my phone that I'm a fraudster and a thief, one fair lady-tout-police also in uniform flung herself out of nowhere and said they should immediately handcuff me and take me to the station. I was just watching all of them acting like little children fighting for food, then one other policeman who I think was their leader came and took me by the hand and told me to go and sit down inside their hilux that was parked on one side of the road.

The police officer started browsing through my pictures, apps and every other thing in my phone but found nothing. Then he went through my message and saw my bank alerts which showed my account balance (I think Nigeria banks should give us an option to turn off sms alerts) that was when he signalled the other police that I have money and they all came together and immediately took me and my vehicle to the state headquarters at sapele road. At this moment I told my workers to go home and they should not worry about me, so they left.

When we got to the state headquarters, they took me to one of the buildings at the extreme end and told me to sit down. I told them to give me my phone so I can let my people know where I'm at and what happened, they refused. They said I'm a criminal, a thief and a fraudster. One told me that when he finish working on me I'll confess. They came back and asked me to unlock my 2 phones again which I did, they all started taking turns in browsing through my phones looking for "evidence" that I was a criminal, still they found nothing. At this stage they started threatening me with everything they could, one of them suggested that they should follow me home and search my house, another one came and asked me to pull my clothes and that they should lock me up in cell. It was at this point that I told them that they cannot intimidate me, I told them "clear conscience fears no accusations" another one came out of nowhere and slapped my left ear, i'm very sure that was all the strength he could muster but I only felt it like I was slapped by a little boy (if not for his uniform I can kill that guy with my bare hands in a physical combat)

At this point I became so enraged, but I had to calm myself down for the sake of my life at that moment. The other policeman came back and asked me to put on my clothes. He said they should open a casefile and take my statement, I was asked to write an introduction of myself, my family and my education and I did so. From then on they started dictating to me, I was told to write down that I'm an internet fraudster. Arguing with them at this stage made no sense to me so I simply wrote down everything the un-named policeman was dictating, at the end he told me to also write that everything above is true and I wasnt held under duress when I was writing it. I wrote everything as I was instructed, signed at the end and the policeman took the paper.

They stopped talking to me for sometime. Later one started insulting me that I have money but lack sense, he said I was supposed to plead with them by suggesting how much I can pay so that they will leave me alone. At the end their leader instructed them not to collect any money from me, he said they should give me back all my things that was collected and let me go. They gave me back everything that was collected and took me to where my car was parked, that was the end of my ordeal.

As a young man out there that's not into crime, try as much as possible to avoid contact with all these SARS checking point. Those people are not sane humans.

To be very sincere, the thing I enjoy most when I'm in Naija is w**d🤪, it's very cheap and strong over there.
Clean water is everywhere in my city (Benin) you can even drink directly from your tap unlike where i am right now. Distilled water is also very cheap.
Transportation is cheap though the roads are very bad👎

Nigerians are always complaining, whining, wailing and crying about how bad things are in their country. But are things really that bad in Nigeria? The simple answer is no. We do not have the best leaders, and in terms of development Nigeria can easily be ranked as a 3rd world country but in reality the country is not as bad as most people paint it on the Internet.

I need some positive Nigerians to be sincere and tell us the things we benefit from as a Nigerian, by hook or by crook🤣

Igboamaka

They are all crying foul play🤣🤣🤣

Dino Melaye is feeling so bad at the moment.

Obasanjo's letter is a simple proof that all these disobidient touts lack the mental capacity to notice simple facts. Local champion campaigning with ethnicity and religion thinks he can rule a country like Nigeria with such divisive tactics.


All Hail the great JAGABAN of Borgu, the epitome of unity and a progressive that the country desperately need right now.

CEOKmotors:
You're very dumb and stupid for the bolded.


I'm sure you're still being fed that's why you don't know how horrible the country is.

Buhari really tried in destroying the country right, and Tinubu was the one who brought him to power.

What has Tinubu done for the west, wen buhari foot soldiers were killing our people in Ondo and co, did Tinubu speak up??

When there were disasters, did he empathize or donate any money, he kept donating to the North.

I don't even care if he wins or not, I only pray for a better Nigeria.

Bro calm down, why are you so bitter? You are sounding like a sidechick🤣
Buhari is no saint, but he is not as bad as bitter people like you are making him look. Buhari have set Nigeria on a course, Tinubu will take us further.

JJuanMiguel:
No need for all these
It's impossible for Obi to become president of Nigeria
Irrespective of the online marketing

Most youths just have the herd mentality and want to follow what's trending.
They are not even conscious enough to know that Obi was once in pdp or once a governor

When his online marketers come to me, i just ask them to explain to me why doctors were on strike for 13 months under his governorship in Anambra.

As for the ibos, they are just desperate to have an ibo man as president no matter what.
So they packaged him and try to sell him as what he's not

Same way they sell fake clothes and shoes as original in the markets

Bro you are wise, you are talking raw facts.

Qatar2022:
A fool at 40 will remain fool forever

Yet another disobidient child. Your type is so full of emotions and hatred, have you eaten?

Disobidient children😂 You people should calm down. Tinubu is smarter than all of you combined, he will make a good president and I pray he should be our next president. Stop the hate✋️

DispatcherLagos:

Tinubu can try again in 2027

olgaa14:
With the daily struggle of life in Lagos state coupled with the fact that lastma can demand your monthly salary on the spot....oboy you are on some cheap drugs...

Xxxxtentacion2:
No campaign after election...

immortalcrown:
Work dey for you oh. More maize 🌽 to harvest.

Disobedient children, I see una😇

First of all, I'd rather vote for someone with a track record of competence than vote for someone who I think is a lesser evil.

I've been asking all this rascal/rude "disobidient" kids their motivation for supporting Peter, I discovered that the simple answer was his age. For a 2-time governor, Peter has no track record🤷‍♂️ He's swaying our proud dumb "woke" youths with "all promises with no proof" and I'm not too surprised at the outcome today because we easily forget. Peter's tenure will take us farther back to the era of GEJ, religion and ethnicity is blocking southerners from accepting reality.

All the peter hype is down south though, up north his replica is kwankwaso. Of the 2, i prefer the guy up north but both are local champs and for the sake of equity a northerner shouldn't be our next president.

Atiku is my no-no, that dude must never be allowed to rule this country.

Tinubu/APC is the best candidate to lead nigeria forward at this stage we are right now. Buhari tried alot, but most Nigerians are too bigoted to notice reality. Tinubu is the right man to continue from where Buhari's tenure end and I know sane Nigerians will give him the majority vote. BAT will score a balanced vote all over the 6 geopolitical zones and I pray that God gives him the strength to lead the nation forward in the coming years.

God bless Nigeria🇳🇬

All you bitter disobedient touts i mentioned above, educated illiterates, spreaders of fake news, local elements of destabilisation and division, blind followers of "1,000,000 talks, 0 proof", ethnic bigots, local noise makers, herd followers of a purposeless candidate...

...it's time to bow down to the Great Lion, the realest OG, The JAGABAN of BORGU, Ashiwaju, The man of competence, The man of few words and plenty action, Our Next Presido, BAT!!!
