2018 is 1 year. Its probably going to air in 2019, which is 2 years

My bad. I meant 2019

Wait!! Wait!!! Wait!!!! Is it true that the final season of GoT (season 8 ) will air 2019?

What if the world ends before then? Jesu! That's almost two years... Two freaking years.

Though she almost got me with a few lines, I dodged Genea's post with a speed I never knew I had in me.
The Matrix will be proud. Wheew! That was close.

Two more looong days to go. Seems like I'll have to go completely offline, off the grid. No more instagram, youtube, twitter, news or radio for me.

But even the birds might whisper a spoiler, so all doors and windows will be shut. No more going out for these two days.

Brethrens....... The Winter is here!

Nicolars:
come, are you a boy or a girl...
Or both

Boy, girl, it doesn't matter to the many-face god.

A girl is no one.

Vola magulis.

Magnifico2000:
In as much as your write up is interesting, i would not still hesitate to tell u that u exaggerated a lot of things. There is no way u would watch season 1 to season 7; over 65hrs in a week. No matter how you love movies. It is impossible.
I know you would write up some things to defend these exaggerations which i think you are good at. There are so many factors that wont allow you to watch everything in a week such as PHCN, boredom, hunger, sleep, jobs etc except you dont have a job. My take although, i wont be surprise if you start bashing me here but bring it on.

Inshort, I only mentioned two weeks because when I started watching GOT, I paused for some days to sort some things out. But when I resumed, I was on full throttle. Took me about a week to finish four seasons.

What business do I have with Phcn when I have a beast 7000mah zerolemon battery strapped to the back of my phone that lasts eons on a single charge even with heavy usage?

I am a student & school is on holiday, so I have enough time. Plus contrary to what you think, I am not jobless. I have a job - which is to enjoy life. And no, I won't bash you. Why would I just bash you? Is this how shallow your mentally is? I'll just tell you the truth though, take it easy on the over-sabi & ITK(I too know).

RobinHez:
I get...

Just that this thread has gone dozens of pages over the "who is more useful - - Arya vs Sansa" argument. U don't wanna start it all over again..

Oh! No wonder

RobinHez:
Trust me... You don't wanna go this path...

Lol. Honestly, the last thing I'll ever do is argue about about a character or two characters on a show. The best I can do is simply analyse how I see them and allow others to do so too. That subjective view which we all hold towards characters even makes the whole thing interesting - so no need to argue. Besides, when I am watching a series/movie etc , I like assuming no one else in the world is watching it, so my opinion is only what counts......to me. I enjoy it best that way.

Sansa haters are too delusional
So what did you achieve with this post.
Everyone here knows what happened in the last episode.we all saw the nonsense arya was telling sansa.She actually told her that she will die before she serves the lannisters when we all remember when she served tywin lannister. At one point she was promised 3 kills but she couldn't call any lannister name.
Sansa has clearly had more development than arya and that showed in the last episode.
People like you just have start argument between sansa and arya baselessly
Watch the show with an open mind or STFU

. How is how I choose to analyse characters any of your business? Are you the one watching the show for me? There are many characters in GOT, which Arya & Sansa happen to be one of. This means I am at liberty to talk about all of them with a subjective point of view whenever any of these characters are in focus. If you are not happy with that, I want you to ram your head continuously on a very thick block of ice until your skull cracks open for easy penetration of common sense. Emotional dic.khead who doesn't know how to pass his point like an adult.

That scene where Lord Bailish was trying to sound smart as usual with his philosophical bullshit.

Then Brann looks at him, "Chaos is a ladder".

The look on his face was priceless. I loved that scene like mad. I kept replaying it.

I also have this feeling that Sansa will die soon. The future looks bleak for her character. The only thing keeping her relevant for the moment is Jon's absence as the king of the north. Someone has to fill in that vital position. Who better, than the dumb sister who will probably give Bailish more relevance on the show with one single act of stupidity (whether it was intentional or not).

Arya, on the other hand, still has a big role to play in the scheme of events. Not every name on her list has been ticked. There's still a bright future for her character. She has really gone through alot and defied all the odds to become who she has become. List or no list, Arya is a strong character. There's this intrigue about her that makes you keep asking - what is she about to do next? what is Arya thinking? What's going through her mind? You know it's definitely going to be interesting but you don't just know how and when.

That scene where she impersonated Waldo Frey and poisoned all his Bloodline. Epiiiiiiiiicccccccc.

Right from Episode 1 season 1, I knew she was special. How she grew over the years from a stubborn little daddy's girl who, right from childhood, knew who she was and wanted to become, then later transformed gradually, bit by bit into an even a more lethal version of everything she ever wanted to become, is simply amazing.

Now, that's a story. That's how you develop a character. Though, in Sansa's defence, her character too has developed tremendously over the years. I noticed her hair is now longer.

Vola magulis.

armadeo:
Well written. I particularly like the phrase nothing is the only word that can do justice to GOT.

Trying to describe the beauty may put a dent in the goddess.

GRRM has written his name in the book of legends.

Yes, he has. GoT is a gift from the gods.

I knew Game Of Thrones was no doubt the absolute fffucking best when I was sad that I was going to finish watching it one day.

ryd3:
Lucky ass mfuker..... I envy the likes of you. I wish I could format my knowledge of Got and watch it again like a virgin... But alas, here I am, scampering through the Web, seeking any Set Davos hacker to bring a leak just like he helped Stanis.

I tell ya. When I was half way into season 1 and realised I still had about 6 seasons+ of enjoyment left, I was the happiest man on Earth.

So after years of procrastination, i finally decided to see what all the rave about this "almighty" GOT was all about. The show was basically all over my face: every fffucking page on the net had something related to GOT.

It seemed like an obsession for everyone on the planet except myself. It made me feel out-of-place, yet very special, like an innocent child yet to partake in the evils of this world. I was definitely going to watch the "almighty" GOT but I wanted the moment to be prefect. I wanted it to be with the right phone, the perfect sitting position, the perfect weather etc. I wanted the Universe to show me a sign, the stars to align and signal that it was the perfect moment that will ever exist in time to start watching. I am the last of my kind afterall, if I am going to lose my virginity, the moment has to be perfect & never forgotten throughout history.

I knew the time had come when every Google search concerning anything kept returning the phrase "is Jon snow dead? ".

"Who the ffuck is Jon Snow? What's my business with Jon Snow? " , I'll ask Google search in frustration every single fffucking time before retyping my initial request for 100th time - "show me pictures of Samsung galaxy note 8".

I started watching GOT about two weeks ago and finished s7episode6 this evening( yea I don't like rushing), and all i have to say is nothing. Nothing is the only word that can do justice to GOT. Game of Thrones is so beautiful that trying to describe her beauty might put a dent on the goddess. I don't even want to talk about what makes her beautiful: if it's her nose, lips, full hips or pointed tips. Her beauty is a mystery and will remain so in my heart.


Side note: Game of Thrones is a fantasy movie, understand this & slowly let it sink in. The moment you start "looking" for flaws, the whole purpose of everything gets defeated. The purpose of cinema itself gets defeated. The purpose of storytelling gets defeated.

Nothing is real, nothing is fake. Reality is a matter of perspective. Your dream becomes your reality when you're in that dream and life becomes an illusion that doesn't exist, UNTIL you wake up.

I enjoy books and movies because when I am reading or watching, I don't even remember I exist. The fact that we get attached and emotional to what happens to characters in stories is a clue that to the mind, nothing is real and nothing is fake. It's just a matter of perspective.

No one wants to hear a realistic story. Absolutely fffucking no one. But everybody loves a great story

A wise man once said , " The greatest stories ever told are the greatest stories ever told because we all decided to play stupid".

Of course that wise man is me. The dwarf taught me well.

And sorry for the epistle folks, it's a curse I carry.

Aminu212:
The reason why your data is been zapped is because of your proxy server and proxy port in your access point settings(Due to my own experience)

Talk of cheap data, mtn is also trying in their night plan(N25=500mb).

I have doubt that proxy server and port is to blame for Mtn's natural likeness for theft.

Rorachy:
I'm thinking of buying a glo sim, I hope its worth my #300.

Whatever you do, make sure their service in your area is strong. Else, you won't even see the network to complain online.

Rorachy:
Airtel own is even worse, the way the zap data eh.

Even my younger brother complained of it.

Airtel is even worse?

Then i have nowhere to run to.

youngreva:
op has been frustrated by mtn

Yes I have oh

RETIREDMUMU:
my brother forget about shhiit, if you don't care about the word frustrations then go use GLo, i mean their cheap data.

I dey complain say sun dey burn my leg and you dey tell me to stand ontop stove. Glo case na story for another day.

This is my honest review of Mtn data plans. I added an 's' because I have used almost all what they have to offer in terms of data across a very very long period of time but for the sake of this review, we are going to assume you want to want to subscribe to their popular 1.5gig monthly plan or like I suspect, already subscribed to it. Pls keep in mind that everything in this review applies to ALL their data plans. The only difference being price and amount of data, that's all.

Price:
For 1000naira, you'll be given 1,500 kilobytes that look like megabytes to the untrained eye, but brethrens, let ye not be deceived. If you're the type that likes to make something sound bigger than it actually is, you can call It 1.5gig. The plan lasts a month (in theory) and Mtn will allow you roll-over any un-used data if you're the type of person that can manage one cup of rice for 2months.


At first, 1.5gig for 1000naira might seem kinda fair from Mtn who, not too long ago, sold 10mb for the same amount it'll take to cater for a child who wants to study Medicine abroad. However, you'll begin to slowly chew back your words- one by one - the moment you begin to understand what happens behind the scenes. This plan will last a week with decent browsing. Yea, just decent browsing. Two weeks, if your level of stingyness is out of this world.

Verdict: This plan is a RIP-OFF for the price(as you'll later find out in this review). It is an overpriced scam. 1000naira can buy you 5 spaghetti. One thousand naira can get you a rubber of white garri if you can beg. My roommate sold his working standing for 1k. With 1k, you can get a used heart in cotonou that will pump atleast 3 cups of blood before failure. Should I continue?

Deduction rate:
The deduction formula Mtn uses to deduct data remains a mystery even to engineering students like myself. I have observed, observed, observed and carefully calculated, yet all my answers keep pointing towards one direction - the deduction is spontaneous. That is, the computer program(i like to call it "robot" ) assigned to carry out this task deducts data base on its mood at your time of browsing. 1mb for each Google page viewed(if Oga robot is in a good mood) or 200mb for an image of hushpuppi(if Oga just woke up from sleep).

I see no reason why how data is deducted should fluctuate. This is robbery, of the highest order. In Today's world where Internet data is beginning to carry the same wieght as food given how many business and lives depend on it, it is heartless, wicked & criminal to leave your customers at the mercy of melancholic robot who will deduct 300mb just because it didn't sleep well last night.

Verdict: Are you a magician? Are you fascinated with magic? Do you like sseing things dissappear? Things like animals, humans and of course, data? Mtn data plan is for you.

Webpages:
You ll think 1.5 gigabytes will be more than enough to surf the web since most of the Webpages you visit are kind of plain & light( like Nairaland ) and have little or no moving content unlike busy sites like skysports and xvideos where something is always guaranteed to be moving at any time of the day.

But as it turns out, viewing a simple, traditional Webpage sometimes takes as much as it would a YouTube video. Sometimes, more than. Other times, lesser than. But still not less enough to make you agree it's fair enough. I'll browse Nairaland sometimes and log out after 5-10mins and 100mb will be deducted. Sometimes, 60mb. Sometimes 80mb.

Offline Mode:
I think this is the most annoying part of being subscribed to any of Mtn's stupid data plan - they charge you for doing nothing. Absolutely, fffucking nothing. Between the hours of 12am and 2pm today, the deduced 80mb despite data connection being off. This has become a constant occurrence and I've learnt to channel energy I'll waste on complaining to customer care(as usual) to better use.

Verdict: With background data set on permanent restriction, data switched off, I wonder what steals data. Wait!! maybe, just maybe, my home button needs mb to take me from gallery to home screen.

Apps.

Twitter:
Twitter could - to a certain degree - qualify as a webpage since most of the activity there is text-based, save for funny memes and videos (which is optional to watch by the way), but the amount of data that constantly gets deducted for very little activity on this app is nothing to smile about.

I was charged an outrageous chunck of data few days ago by Oga robot for twitter activity that didn't last upto 7mins. Maybe it was because the joke I tweeted didn't get any retweets.

Facebook:
This one is for old people who don't know something like instagram exists. For stalking Amaka(your classmate) who refused to say yes to you in Nursery 2 has gotten pregnant for her street boy yet. Or for checking if the class olodo has managed to succeed in Life.... so I don't even bother with this app. However, considering it deals with lots of images and videos, I expect Mtn to use this as another avenue to make their already overweight bank account obese.

Instagram:
.... *ok calm down. ksslib breathe.. breatheeee**

I spent months in denial but I've finally accepted the bitter truth that Instagram is only for the rich. Atleast that's what Mtn wants me to believe. Watching funny videos, short comedy skits and smiling at images of Buhari's head swapped with various household items is only for the rich.

So expertly have Mtn perfected the art of deception and stealing that they would not deduct a questionable amount of data after my first, second, third and maybe fourth usage of Instagram after a fresh subscription. I'll just use Instagram at surface level (few videos, images) then log out and check my data balance, then smile at what I see.

This trick - as i later painfully discovered - is Mtn just trying to gain my trust, make me feel at home before allowing me to foolishly decide it's time to carelessly dive deeper into the unsteady, dangerous waters of Instagram videos.

If you're foolish enough like me to trust Mtn, the look on your face after checking your remaining data balance will quickly help you forget about that funny video you just saw on kraks TV. Abi you wan compare the effect of a message like "Dear customer, you have 66mb left of your current data bundle" to one video where all the people being interviewed on the street kept swearing they will not attend anybody's funeral that doesn't attend theirs. Lol

Verdict: Mtn says Instagram is not for poor people like me. We'll see what Etisalat, Airtel and others have to say.... minus Glo abeg. What's the use of having 100gig when I am only allowed to legally use 10mb due to poor service. Glo with pride indeed.

YouTube:
This is easily my favourite platform(clolsey followed by instagram) but it's a forbidden area for obvious reasons. YouTube is like stepping into the badlands.

Night plan is the only alternative here. Which means I am always awake at night browsing videos when my mates are in covoon hustling. And I also feel not getting enough sleep is too much a price to pay for thrills of YouTube but I am also not quick to forget I am Nigerian afterall, suffer is suppose to be my middle name. Therefore, Night plan it is.

Verdict: Know this: Using YouTube on Mtn's hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or whatever plan is tantamount to opening the flood gates of hell. You and your data will be flooded with fire and brimstone. For safety reasons, i dont even have the youtube app installed on my phone anymore because I might decide to want to watch a youtube video and later change my mind, but Oga robot will go ahead and deduct 300mb because apparently, the first law of data deduction states that "Habouring the thought of watching a YouTube video in your mind is the same as watching it".

Final verdict:
Mtn data plan is a big scam that anybody who knows the value of money - especially in this biting recession- should never subscribe to. This will be my last subscription. Even if all the angels of heaven descend and vouch for Mtn, I will never trust them. It's almost unbelievable that these corrupt piece of shameless thieves get away with this fuckery and daylight robbery...but wait! I almost forgot we are still in Nigeria.

The uncertainty, terror and suspense that comes with checking my remaining data balance every single f*cuking time - whether I surf the net or not - is too much for my young body to cope with. I am just 24 for God sake. I cannot be paying you one thousand naira almost every 4- 5days to give me high blood pressure and stroke.

Will I recommend this plan or any Mtn data plan?:
Yes, I will absolutely recommend this plan to anybody who will ask this question after reading everything.

Asensio is a beast. That goal left me confused like my brother Ter Segan. Damn. That boy is destined for Big things.

Halaa Madrid.

Eke40seven:
Thanks! But they brought down all the streams on YouTube for copyright issues.
If I knew the station, I can stream the exact channel through Mobdro.

Download sybla TV. There's a YouTube link from the app itself. That's what I am using.

Or you can just stream directly from the app. Your choice.

Hmmmm. . Zidane I trust you but I hope you know what you are doing.

usbcable:
And its really disappointing that things are at this level form both players.

Imagine we have more confidence in the abilities of rookies (Vasquez and Asensio) than veterans B & B.

Its really sad.

Would be joyous they surprise us with scintillating performance and do us proud

I just tire. Especially for Benzema - who unlike Bale - has no excuse of limited play time due to injury. He is good with his feet but is perhaps the only striker I know of who has no eye for goal.

If not for Ronaldo and Asensio, our last game could have gone either ways despite a very impressive performance from the team. Today's game is very big & is probably the most important game Madrid fans care about due to bragging rights. Whispers have been making rounds of recent concerning Benz's future. Bale is already threading on a very thin ice begging to be melted. This match could just deliver that heat if he doesn't deliver.

usbcable:
I sincerely hope whoever plays attack for us tonight scores as at any prompt.
No wastage from our lads by God's grace.

I tell ya. Our two core attacking front need to be clinical in front of goal, that's the only way we can quickly incinerate any fighting spirit Barcelona might be haboruing even before they realise the game has started.

The Madrid I know will create good chances begging to finished, but the Benzema and Bale I know.... ** heavy sigh** .

Should Bale and Benzema behave properly like gentleman, a massacre will be witnessed tonight. Should they not, it's going to be one of those games we'll win. But with a lot of sweat that could have been saved.

Halaaa Madrid.
