you don pay your part of the fine..

no. I am still Browsing with my sim. I only hope that they wont tell me that my data balance is 10MB when they finally resolve the issue.

and problem persist.

To check my account balance na problem. I finally used *123*1*3# and they said "You are not a valid MTN Subscriber". I tried to CHECK my data balance, they said I have not subscribed to any data plan.

I decided to use another MTN line belonging to my mum to see if it is a network error, it all went through.

What has I does to MTN Customer care to deserving this kind of love all of a sudden. Must I calling them. They should minding themselves and rectify this issue.

I called the customer care and the lover that picked it kept saying hello! Hello!! Please say something if you can here me. Upon all my shouting she pretended she never heard a thing. She finally said please call back I can't get you. I called back and another lover picked and didn't complain of audio issues. He told me that he couldn't see my balance but that he could see my last subscription. He advised me to send 2 to 131 saying I should ignore the message I was receiving blaming it on Network congestion and also advised me to call back if the problem persist.

I did as I was advised but noticced that the SMS was not going. Ah! That means I have to call them back. Is it a must. What sort of love is this that MTN just developed for me.

Anyway. I am browsing with the sim now. They should take their time to solve the network issue. I don't have to call them again. Afterall, I am not a valid MTN customer.

By Ochereome Nnanna "Nigeria is awaiting receipt from Swiss Govt. of $320 million, identified as illegally taken from Nigeria under Abacha” – Buhari @NGR President, 5:09 PM – 27 APR 2016 WHEN Twitter-addicted Nigerians stumbled on this posting on President Muhammadu Buhari’s Twitter handle last week, the whole Internet went abuzz, with most people expressing their dismay at Buhari’s refusal to call a spade by its correct name. Before we go on, let us try to reason out the meaning of this statement, especially against the backdrop of its nexus to our history where Abacha and Buhari’s paths crossed. It is obvious why the President or the operator of his Twitter handle chose to describe this amount (which is over N100 billion, a third of what the Federal, State Local governments shared in February 2016) as money “identified as illegally taken from Nigeria under Abacha”, rather than the usual “Abacha loot”. The answer is simple. Buhari, long before he was elected president, stubbornly insisted that Abacha “never stole”, and that he was not corrupt. “Illegally taken from Nigeria” is a ploy to sidestep the word: “stolen”. “Under Abacha” portrays it as if other people, not Abacha himself, committed the “illegality” without Abacha’s knowledge. Some unknown individuals were taking money from Nigeria and lodging it in Abacha’s Swiss bank accounts? For what purpose? Perhaps, they knew that our economy would be in trouble in the future and decided to “save” for this rainy day for us? If that is what President Buhari wants to say, let him say so openly, so that we all will join him in congratulating the Abacha family for the sacrifices their patriarch made for Nigeria. In the past sixteen years, series of sums of money in foreign currency have been brought back from Western countries, especially Switzerland, where former military Head of State, the late General Sani Abacha stashed funds which he looted from the Nigerian treasury. These monies have always been called “Abacha loot”. Abacha is the only former ruler boldly ascribed, even in official circles, to have “stolen” or “looted” our public funds. He certainly was not the only one who did so. And most of us believe that he was probably not the biggest looter. Then, how come it is only his loots that are being “identified” and repatriated? Is it because he is dead? If he were still alive like most of his fellow former rulers, would there be any such thing as “Abacha loot”? I doubt it, since his predecessors and successors who probably took more have never even been officially accused or made to return their own “loots”. In fact, one of them majestically struts over the landscape calling other people corrupt without justifying his own obvious affluence after his long stint in the Presidency. Are we a nation of cowards and dastards, mobbing Abacha and his estate simply because he is dead? More questions: if Abacha had not arrested, tried and jailed General Olusegun Obasanjo for his part in the 1995 coup attempt to unseat him, would Obasanjo have launched the campaign to recover Abacha loot? If Abacha had not died and he played a role in the election of Obasanjo as President in 1999 as Generals Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalami Abubakar, Theophilus Danjuma and their civilian Northern cohorts had done, would Obasanjo have started the campaign to retrieve the Abacha loot? Still more questions: if Buhari had been the one elected as the civilian president of Nigeria in 1999, would he even be talking about receiving money from Swiss Government “illegally taken away” under his regime since he maintains, against all concrete evidence, that Abacha never stole our money? So, is it only when a person deals with us and dies that he becomes corrupt, but when he treats us nicely (as Abacha did to Buhari) he becomes a “saint”? If Abacha had not rehabilitated Buhari after being jailed by Babangida; If Abacha had not appointed him as the Executive Chairman of the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), where he was given unlimited powers to spend billions of Naira between 1996 and 1998, would Buhari have stuck out his neck for him and say he was not corrupt? Is this the mentality we take with us in fighting corruption, making sure that those who helped us are regarded as clean, while those who wronged us are pursued with a single-minded quest to retrieve their loot and sent to jail? Is this our national standard for integrity? How are we sure that retired Col. Ja’afaru Isa, a close Buhari acolyte who was reluctantly arrested, briefly detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC, and released after a couple of days for allegedly returning part of his share of Col. Sambo Dasuki’s bonanza, actually returned anything? Everybody calls President Buhari a “man of integrity”, in spite of certain things we read and hear which do not add up to conclusively justify that branding. Buhari made his declared assets public. But he never disclosed their financial worth, nor did he let us know where they could be found as late President Umaru Yar’Adua voluntarily did. He never followed Yar’ Adua’s exemplary footsteps of including the assets of his wife. And from the look of things, ever- smiling Madam Aisha Buhari is very well- to-do, what with her reported donation of N135 million to displaced persons in Adamawa during the campaigns last year, which has not been denied. I still cannot reconcile the fact that Buhari, as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had to borrow N25 million from banks to pay for his form in October, 2014 when his wife could so easily have given it to him from her own resources. There were even some reports that Buhari was once ejected from his “rented” mansion, No 11, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Asokoro, Abuja in 2012. That report was never debunked. Elaborate efforts have always been made to brand Buhari as a retired general who lived on his military pension before he became elected President. Yet, when he became President and the foreign exchange crunch set in, he told parents who have their children in foreign schools that they should look for forex wherever they could find it as the Federal Government could no longer afford to provide it. When reminded that he had his own children in foreign schools, he simply retorted: “I can afford it”. These conflicting signals about our President and his true mindset on corruption as well as his real standing financially, is being noticed, and nobody is a dummy. Even the younger generation of Nigerians are watching, reading and taking note of this confusion and wondering what “integrity” actually means here in Nigeria. It is not only the youth that are confused. I am certainly no longer a youth, but I am confused!.

Well, to many Naija men, marriages are to be endured not enjoyed.

well in reality that is a wrong order.
marriage is meant to be enjoyed with endurance and tolerance.
www.ehijeremiah..com/2015/08/it-is-widely-accepted-that-marriage-is.html

I overheard a woman in her early 60s
complaining about her husband accusing her of
infidelity after over 35 years of marriage. To her
it was surprising that her husband would level
such accusation on her at this her age where
there is no "Juice" (in her words) left in her.
It pained her that when her husband was

been transferred in his workplace from one
state to the other, being absent from her for
over a year she remained faithful to him, as
well as when he ignored her and went after
other women, beats her up etc. That after all
she has endured in their over 35years of
marriage the best her husband would do was to
accuse her of infidelity.

I believe this is exactly the kind of pain African
Music Diva " Tiwa Savage" is currently suffering
from, considering all that she had borne for the
success of her marriage with " TeeBillz" only to
be accused of infidelity.

Though It wasn't any of my business but I had
to ponder on the issue and I came to
understand that Men that often accuse their
faithful wives of infidelity are usually those been
devoured by the guilt of their inability to love /
care for their wives as they ought to.

They,been totally aware of the things that makes
their wives happy and not able to do them, yet
find their wives happy, presume that another
man must be responsible for their happiness.
This presumption is what leads them to accuse
their wives of infidelity.

If you have been faithful to your husband as a
wife despite all unfair treatments from him and
he is accusing you of unfaithfulness, don't let it
bother you. He is just feeling guilty for not
loving / caring for you as a husband should. If
he is reasonable, talk to him; tell him you have
forgiven him. I believe it will help him overcome
his guilt, withdraw his accusations and
appreciate the sacrifices you have made for your
marriage and ... you know the rest.

If Tiwa had known this and Teebillz been
reasonable, the unfortunate end of the marriage
would have been prevented.

Karm16:


They're already claiming that Yoruba words like 'Omo', 'Yeye' , 'kuku' and 'wahala' are Igbo words.

you are not appreciative. Since Igbos adopted these words, they have become more popular than Awolowo just like we took okoro from edo and made it a household name.. We make things popular. You should appreciate us for that.

Greetings To all Nairalanders ( especially those on webmaster and programming section).

I just want to use this medium to express ny profound gratutude to Nairaland for making it possible for me to learn how to design and run a blog as well as inpiring me to keep on pushing when i wanted giving up.

Am an amateur life coach and share talks about facing reality with my few friends, towards the end of 2015, a good friend advised me to set a blog as this will enable me reach many more people. At that time i had 0% knowledge of what a blog is not to talk of running one. He refered me to nairaland ( though i ran some searches on google, but non was helpful ).

When came to nairaland and asked for help in setting up a blog some wanted ripping me off with their charges and quite unfortunately i had no money, what i wanted was a free service.

When i discovered an article on do it yourself, i followed with keen interest, joined some nairaland blogger group who help me greatly in my journey. After about four month of trial and error i have successfully set up a blog linked it different social media account, published some articles which earned me an invite to a live broadcast of a radio show.

With the help of Nairaland, i have atleast 50% knowledge on webdesign, blogging, CMS, communication skills, etc.
So far i have set up two blogs;

Some dear nairalanders are also helping in setting up a custom domain as well as monetizing.

BIG THANKS NAIRALAND.

I tune my radio one quite morning to hear the latest news making rounds in the society and found myself with two jigsaw puzzle that couldn't fit.

The news was centered on concerted effort in creating a better future for this present generation by the parents, guardians, and leaders while the commentary was on the alarming rate of moral decadence amongst the youths of this present generation.
The puzzle was that one side is busy with the plan of creating a better future for the other side which is ruining herself as the day goes by.

These thought filtered through my mind as i pondered on this anomaly;
• What kind of better future can be created for a generation that is getting worse each day?
• What best do you expect them to make out of the better you are creating for them in their worst state?

Our Leaders, fathers, mothers, etc are making a big mistake, in thinking of how to create a better future for this present generation, at the expense of making this generation better because, whatever effort been made or resources been used in creating a better future for this present generation will amount to naught if this present generation are not made better, as they will end up ruining everything as they have ruined themselves.

The present that we are in today was the future that we sacrificed for, struggled for and even fought for in the past and the future that we are we so obsessed about creating for this present generation is a future that they are also entitled to, sacrifice, struggle, and even fight for not to have it done for them by another.

I met a man who was of the opinion that "His children will not suffer what he suffered to achieve what he achieved in life" and that is a lovely thought from a loving father. But the truth is, the good place you find yourself today, is not a result of the suffering you suffered, but a result of the lessons you learnt from those suffering.

I will not allow my children to undergo the sufferings i went through but they will definitely come to learn the lessons i learnt ON TIME, one way or the other because those lessons are the only thing that can enable them create a future far better than the one i am planning for them.

Great atrocities have been committed by many in bid to secure a better future for their children. Some have looted government fund, other have soiled their hands in illegal business, cheated, stolen, and committed all manners of crime, some have even worked out themselves to death.

The thought of;
• How much is enough?
• How much do you have to loot, steal, save, etc to secure a better future for your children,children's-children, etc,
• How long will it last? ...
is what technically propels them to loot more, steal more, etc.

The best way to secure a better future for this present generation is by raising / equipping them to be better than you are, thereby creating a better future for themselves.

The reason ( in my opinion) why most youths are misbehaving this days is because they know their fathers will do everything humanly possible to leave behind for them a very good inheritance enough to sustain them. The day this present generation will learn to look beyond what they will inherit from their father and start thinking of how to create an inheritance for themselves, the day the future start becoming bright for them.

The best that can be done for this present generation is to make them twice as good as you are, this will enable them achieve twice the things you achieved in your life time, equating to a " BETTER FUTURE".

okay we have seen it. thank you

From your comments, I sense.. ..

Nairaland forum is filled with very reasonable people and thus not a place you come and say rubbish. It seeks to disseminate accurate information, engage people in meaningful conversation that will help better their lives. This has been my little observation on nairaland if the short time I have spent online.

After experimenting with some topics and studying recent nairaland front page trends, I discovered that these these three major topics usually makes it to front page;

1. Acts / Statement by popular Figures from a reliable source like their website, facebook page, twitter, instagram, etc or TV station / popular news website. ( don't even think of using your dot blog as a source ).

2. Factual Statements that are 'HIGHLY" contestable. Nairaland enjoys a good fight and nairalanders are good at proving how wrong a statement is, they don't mind making serious research to prove you wrong, ignorant or foolish
Consider this one https://www.nairaland.com/2878713/dont-trust-people-locks-phones.

3. Topics / issues requiring public opinion, counsel or help. One good thing about nairaland is that it's members doesn't ignore any issues / topic that seek for their opinion or help. This kind if topics are the most engaging and automatic front page because that is the best way nairaland helps people and touches lives.

4. Extraordinary / wicked acts caught on tape. Nairaland love displaying extraordinary happenings caught on camera as well as seeing crimes exposed and justice taking it course.

I believe there are more, but so far these are what I have gathered.
You free to add yours if you have any.. .

Watch out for it

I have been away while you guys were yanking your spleens.
What just happened in this thread was an experiment to prove a theory I was working on The kind of post that makes it to front page and it did work out well.
Sorry for offending you though.

CEtoO:
Good one.
Unfortunately, good write ups like this rarely make front page.
God help us all.

Yeah quite unfortunate

bigiyaro:
OP, its like u jst started using a phone, if not, u will know its not the issue of trust bt protection. Have u ever had ur phone accidentally formated by a novice? ur crdt used without ur permission? Ur pix or ur wife/babe's pix copied n used for negative activities which u don't approved of? Answer dis questions first b4 i continue lecturing u on why you should lock down ur phone.

That us because
1.am not careless with my phones
2. I don't keep obscene images of me or my loved ones
3. I backup my phone contents every on cloud
4 . Receive and send information through mails, text messages and social media chats, calls come and goes once in a while
5.............should I go on

I know you may have seen this in different social media but consider the commentary it is Inspiring

In a street accident, a woman tried to help the victims but suddenly a nurse came and said…
"Miss, excuse me! I am a nurse and i can do it better. Step back.. I’ve had a course in first aid and I’m trained in giving first aid and CPR".

The woman stepped aside and watched the procedure and said, "If you need a doctor, I’m just behind you."
The nurse turned and looked at the woman in dismay. Humility counts! Stay humble.
If you will go far in life , you will need to drop your pride and treat people right.

There is this saying that " NO MATTER HOW HIGHLY PLACED YOU ARE, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE HIGHER THAN YOU. None is the most on earth. So never speak of how highly placed you are or how much you are worth till you have know worth of those around you else, you find yourself humiliated when when you get to know that there were people far higher and worth more than you after presenting yourself as the most high.

This could have been the scenario if the nurse had asked about the woman's qualifications first;....

In a street accident, a woman tried to help the victims but suddenly a nurse came and said…
Nurse: Miss, excuse me! are you a Doctor?
Woman: Yes
Nurse: Ok! How can I help?
Woman: Can you perform a CPR? Nurse: Yeah! Am a nurse.
Woman: great! Hold his head..........
At the end of the day they will both walk out of the scene feeling fulfilled with good credits.

Am not saying you shouldn't secure your phone but am saying, if you are looking for someone to trust, don't trust those that locks their phones as if ...

Never trust a person that keeps his/her phone locked at all times
