Business / Why The Nigerian Government Needs To Take The Railway Revamp Very Seriously by Habeebpain(m): 3:08pm On Mar 07, 2016 |
I have never been on a train in my 20-something years of existence (the train ride at the amusement park when I was five doesn’t count) and it’s not that my country is that developed that we have the hyperloop instead, the problem is things don’t work well here or don’t work at all. This write-up isn't going to list the things that don’t work well but is going to explain the importance of one thing that needs to work well. I don’t care when the Nigerian Railway Corporation was established but I believe it should be better than what it is right now with the billions of dollars pumped into it already. I am going to list the reasons why this government has to take the revamp seriously: 1. Employment: The government wants to pay unemployed youths N5,000 monthly (Baba has said he’s not paying) which by the current exchange rate is less than $20 (you see these guys are jokers). But imagine the number of jobs that will be created if there were proper train stations, I know some of you don’t get the picture yet, so I’ll list the jobs: I. Train conductors II. Maintenance engineers III. Ticketing officers IV. Cleaners V. Restaurant operators: if you have to leave home by 5:30 a.m. to catch the train at six, I’m sure you wouldn’t have had breakfast. But knowing that when you get to the train station, you can get a sandwich and a cup of coffee, bread and moi-moi or akara, fish and chips, rice, etc. These restaurants or food vendors are going to need helping hands; cooks, baristas, sales girls and boys etc. and where else will they find these workers other than from the unemployed youths roaming the streets. What the government has to do here is provide standard stalls with running water, storage facilities, and cooking gas, and lease them to these vendors at a fixed rate which is paid monthly or yearly. VI. Security officers VII. Porters VIII. Signalmen 2. Affiliation with NIPOST: There are so many e-commerce businesses in Nigeria with a sizeable number providing retail services. Due to the not-so-stellar attitude of the Nigerian Postal Service, some of them have their own delivery services (AIG Express comes to mind). If NIPOST forms a partnership with the NRC, these stores can send their items via NIPOST using trains. So you can buy an item from Lagos in the morning and receive it in Osogbo via the evening train. If NIPOST is going to do this, they’ll most likely need to have offices at the train stations and therefore need to employ people to work there. 3. Fewer Accidents/Less Traffic/Less Crime: This is a no-brainer and needs no explanation. No daredevil motorcyclist crossing BRT lanes or oil tankers spilling petroleum products. There will also be a reduction in the number of traffic robberies. 4. De-congestion of Major Cities: Take Lagos for example, though overpopulated, it still sees an influx of migrants. People can work in Lagos but not necessarily live in Lagos where the rents are high. If there’s a train from Lagos to Ibadan that takes just 45 minutes or Lagos to Benin that takes less than 2 hours. That’s a whole lot better than spending 4 hours on the road from Yaba to Ikotun. Less time spent in traffic means you get to work refreshed and not looking like a zombie and you get home in time too. Marriages won’t fail due to couples seeing less of each other or kids not seeing their parents for days. Now the question is this: Will the government see the benefits listed here and get to work immediately or will they let those with vested interests term this as the ranting of the masses? Lalasticlala,you know what to do. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Phones / Spectranet Increases Tariffs by Habeebpain(m): 10:22pm On Mar 05, 2016 |
Spectranet LTE sent me a mail yesterday informing me of a revamp of their data plans. Firstly, they mentioned that they'll be scrapping data plans based on states and sticking to a unified plan for every location in Nigeria. That's not bad, but the shocker came when I checked their page for the new data plans effective from March 15, 2016. See image below. The Lagos Knight plans don't exist anymore. The 7k plan for 20GB which works 24 hours a day also has been scrapped. Now the cheapest plan is 5k for 5GB and a plan similar to the Lagos Knight goes for N7500, gives you 20GB but runs from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. with no mention of 24 hours on weekends and public holidays. While other internet service providers are offering more data for lesser amounts, Spectranet has chosen to increase costs and offer less data. Another fact that needs to be stated is that service is still pretty poor in a lot of locations (Ijegun is an example, where I only get one network bar). I'm not ready to pay more for a glorified 3G service and I know Nigerians are not ready to do the same. So if you're against this, please share this post and let's hope we force them to rethink their actions. 12 Likes 20 Shares

Phones / Syllable Wireless Sports Earphones Review by Habeebpain(m): 6:49pm On Feb 29, 2016 |
Are you a fitness enthusiast or someone who just wants a pair of wireless earphones that doesn’t break the bank but ticks all the right boxes? Then you’ll want to read my review of the Syllable D700 Wireless sports earbuds. Syllable isn’t a popular brand like Bang and Olufsen, Skullcandy, or Beats. This is even my first time of coming across the brand, but I can tell you that it reeks of quality which shows that this is a brand that takes things seriously. UNBOXING The pack comes sealed, so when you buy it, you know it hasn’t been opened before. The packaging is nice and the specifications are listed on the back in Chinese and English. Opening it reveals the earphones, a USB cord, a manual in English and Mandarin, and 2 pairs of extra earbuds. SPECIFICATIONS *Bluetooth 4.1 *Sweatproof *Music/talk time of 5 hours * Standby Time of up to 180 hours *Bluetooth range of 10 meters *1.5 hours of charge time *Next/Volume up, Previous/Volume down, Answer key/Redial last call/Play/Pause Key/Power *Microphone Pairing Pairing is easy. Once you hold down the power button for a few seconds, the LED indicator turns blue. Turn on bluetooth on your device and make sure visibility is on. Search for the earphones and you should see D700 in the list of devices found. Select it and wait for pairing to be completed. That’s all. Nothing more and nothing less. I tried it with the following apps and it worked well: *iQuran *YouTube *and Music Player (default) The earphone stays on when hooked behind your ears and doesn't fall off or get in the way like the wired types. Audio reproduction is above average but not as good as earphones and headphones at the higher end of the spectrum. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't block out outdoor noise completely. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Good because if you are outdoors, it’s a bad idea to be isolated from external noise such as the honking of an oncoming vehicle. And bad because there are times when you just want to block all external noise when you need all the concentration you can get such as when in a gym or when working. I know it’s a sports earbuds, but not everyone wants to get earphones for every occasion. To sum it all up, it’s a nice pair of earphone that sells for a reasonable price (see below). It has all the buttons you’ll need and has a long standby time and playback time, though the range could be better though. If you want this earphone, you can contact Habeeb on 08035231921 or send him a whatsapp message on 07088535479. Location is Lagos. And price is N4500 excluding delivery to any part of Nigeria. Limited stock available. 1 Like
