[quote author=Mynd_44]I still think it is a bad idea[/quote]Ok what would you now suggest as I can`t secure my personal apartment now until December this year and she would be coming around in 3 days time, precisely, on this Saturday?

But I`m just planning to get my personal apartment by December which my girlfriend too was aware of. As for me, I`m still living with a brother friend. But talking about lodging her in a hotel, I think doing that might not speak well of me as I`ve already told her that I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I even told her that the place I sleep is own by a brother friend. In fact, we are two staying with this brother friend of mine. But my girlfriend has never paid me a visit in my house before neither has she paid anyone of my family member a visit. She always come to my work place any time she want to see me when she was still in the state with me. She do spend 3 or sometimes 4 hours with me in my work place before she go back to her residence then, but now, she has travelled to a distant state and sent an SMS to me that she would like to meet both my mum and my siblings when she come to pay me a visit this weekend, if I don`t mind.

Hi all in the house, I`m a guy of late twenty. I have an elder brother (my immediate elder brother) who is married with a kid (6 years daughter) living in a room and parlour, not self contain anyway, just room and parlour. Here is where I need your advice: My girlfriend (who would be paying me a visit all the way from another state, 5 hours journey down here) and myself would be meeting my elder brother and his wife for the first time and I was thinking of sleeping in my brother`s place with my girlfriend overnight. Where myself and my brother sleep on the rug in the parlour while my girlfriend, my brother`s wife and their daughter sleep in bed in the room. What do you all think? Is it ok as I planned the way we are going to sleep or what is your recommendation? I need you to advise me please.

@ poster, would you buy Android Tablets? It's 7" screen with 4G internal memory plus TF Slot/MicroSD Card reader. But it doesn't have SIM Card slot. If you are interested, please tell me here so that I can give you more info on this. Though, those Android tablets are new but not really mine but a friend of mine will be selling it onbehave of his friend that stays oversea. His friend just sent a sample to him last week, but the main market has not arrived yet, maybe will arrive in few days time.

This friend of mine has been coming to me since early this week telling me to help him to get someone that can buy them.

I shall check back to know whether you are interested or not. The place that this my friend stays is Akoka, Yaba. So, I don't know whether you are close to this place or not.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Poster, I`ve studied one month course on CCNA in TTC Mobile sometimes 2010. But to be honest with you, I was not that quite happy with the practical aspect of their teaching. Well, if Karox is close to you there, then, I`ll advise you to try out Karox as people that I know that has already tried them do give good comments on the practical aspect of their teaching. Good luck to you.

I've been buying a sachet of pure water (in some places) at the rate of 5 naira each since last week Monday. They said Fashola ordered them to revert the price back to N5 or they stop selling it. Though, some people are still selling it at the rate of N10 each. The area I'm talking about is Akoka, Yaba.

Hi all in the house, I overheard it on Nigeria Info 99.3 FM this afternoon (12:30pm breaking news) that federal government has decleard closure of UNILAG for two weeks. Had anyone aware of this info?

You can try "mp3 ringtone" software. Mind you, this program can compress 2G of songs to even 100MB but the sound quality of those songs will reduce.

It is not a crime if you test the system with another working power supply!

My mum told me that me and my brothers should ensure that we are not "omo iya awusa". Which I can translate that "me and my brothers should always show love to ourselves".

Hi all in the house. Please, I need someone to please tell me the code or how I can load N3,400 per month internet subscription. I want to load this new black Multilinks Modem with the above amount and use it to browse for a month but I don't know how to go about loading the money on the modem using multilinks phone. Thank you in advance.

All right, Inked_Nerd

@Mynaijalove89 and Ink_Nard, my point is just the fact (based on personal experience). The end result of most babes that are picked-up here are always terrible. Even, I'm still at early dating time with another nairaland babe now, making her the third babe here. I shall come here one day to tell you guys whether this one too is a good representative of nairaland babe or bad one.

@poster, don't every try to pick-up babe here on nairaland. I tell you, 98% of babes you pick-up from nairaland are all gold diggers. Note that I'm telling you this from personal experience. I've dated two ladies here on nairaland and two of them lasted for 1 year with me but guess what, two of them are BLLB! I would just advise you to put your mind off nairaland if you really need a genuine lady. That's just my advice for you my brother.

Well, I don't think that I have anything to say about this nairaland 2 for now. Because I've been viewing it only with my phone since the change occur, I'm yet to open nairaland 2 on my computer.

If you live closer to Yaba, you can bring to UNILAG (University of Lagos) here in Lagos. Just phone me on 07031012161 once you get to UNILAG entrance gate. Or better still, phone me to ask for direction from your location to UNILAG here in Yaba. Animashaun is my name.

With your configuration, without other hardwares will cost you N20,000 (Dell computer, a tower case). But including flat monitor, keyboard and mouse will cost you N45,000. Mind you, Dell tower case with your configuration including Dell tube monitor, mouse and keyboard will cost you N35,000. Here is my number in case you need further assistance: 07031012161. Hope that help?

The price of tokunbo desktop unit? Why can`t you be specific on your choice - do you want a tokunbo desktop computer with flat monitor or tube monitor? Do you also want it with UPS? Just state the configuration that you, I mean, you really want, ok?

I`m a technician and I works at Pako near UNILAG (University of Lagos). You can call me on 07031012161 if you know that you can bring it dow to Pako for repair.

@poster, yes you can. But I would advise you to give this your system to any technician that is closer to you there (the one that you know is capable) because if you try to do it by yourself, I`m afriad, you might mistakenly delete your files on the process of trying to install windows xp on your computer by yourself.

I would have posted the real prices of all of them here now, assuming I have read this post earlier this morning. Because I went to the market this morning. And the mistake that I made was that I didn`t give out my number in case you might need further assistance (07031012161)

@poster, try to change the cable that you used to conneect your printer to the system (be it USB or Parallel cable). Trying this trick always solve the kind of problem sometimes.

@poster, if you know that you only want to be printing your course materials in black alone, the best option for you is to get HP Laserjet printer (not 3 in 1 laserjet but ordinary laserjet printer). Unless you want most of what you want to be printing to be in both colour and black and white, then, I would advice you to go for a colour printer. In this case, not even 3 in 1 colour printer because 3 in 1 colour printers have many disadvantages.

@Poster, the brand new HP Desktop that I bought for somebody early December 2011 was bought at the rate of N98k (it include USB Mouse & Keyboard, 19" Fat Screen Monitor and the System Unite itself). But to be honest we you, the system worth it, because it`s a powerful system (HP branded system of course). On the area of 1020 Printer, don`t let anyone deceive you, there is no brand new HP 1O2O or 1018 Printer on the market anymore (unless you want to buy fearly used one). HP has replaced them with Laserjet 1005, 1006, 1105 and the like. But the toner cartridges that came with these models of these printers that I mentioned above are very small compare to those of laserjet 1018 and 1020. Laserjet 1105 was sold for N16k when I bought it for one man last week, January 20th, 2012 . But you can still get laserjet 1005 and 1006 with N20k in your pocket (I just guessed that) unless you need a little bit bigger HP Laserjet like Laserjet 2055 or 2055d. But these two models cost N40k plus, even, if not up to N50k now . As per the APC UPS, their UPS is always expensive, the last one that I priced (that was designed for 1PC), if I can still remember very well, was around N11.500k. And even if worse come to worst, the APC UPS shouldn`t be more than N12k or N13k today! Hope these help a bit?

Ok.

Have you tried what I told you to try yesterday? If YES, kindly tell us the result.

Well! You might as well follow femi4's suggestion. But let me also add to it that you can also look for any technician around you over there to get a driver CD and drive the 'unknown' device that you talked about in 'Device Manager', then let's see what happen after that.

Petroleum Product, Hijack, #140, #140, Protesters, Wrong Timing, Casualty e.t.c.

Can your system detect a flash drive when you insert it into any USB Port in your system? If yes, it means your USB Ports are working fine. Then, another thing that I would advise you to do is to go to 'Computer' Icon on the desktop and right click on it. Choose properties from 'Computer' that you right click on, then, locate something like 'Hardware' or 'Device Manager' on the top left side of the screen. When 'Device Manager' list out some components that you have inside your system at the left side of the screen, look among them and try to locate a device called 'Modem'. Observe this device very closely whether you will see something like Yellow or Black sign on it. Please, observe this very closely! Because a customer of mine has once told me that her laptop was formatted by a technician and after that her Glo or was it Visafone modem refused to work until they go to the 'Device Manager' and ensured that the Yellow or Black sign found on 'Modem' in 'Device Manager' was resolved by getting a compatible driver and drive this Modem device. You too can also check this out, who knows, it might solve yours too!

@poster, can you elaborate more on exactly what you discovered after you connect the modem to your system instead of you just saying nothing happen anytime you connect your modem to your computer? When you connect the modem to your computer after which the modem suppose to bring up the software where you will have to wait for it to bring network and you just click 'connect' after you fully see network signal. What are those things you discovered? Because what you discovered will also lead us to know what is really happening and be able to suggest one or two likely things that you can try to make it work.

Nothing happens? Did you try to connect this your Multilinks modem to your friend's system that is also using Windows 7?
