Hi Laide,

I passed out in 1997 and wouldn't mind knowing when you passed out too.

Let's continue the introduction via PM.

Well, I'm not trying to say that all appointments must end with sex, it all depends on the chick.
If she now likes me after one or two dates and wants sex then so be it.

All I'm just trying to say is that if you're dating a girl regularly, the greater the chances of having sex eventually, My guy, body no be wood o!

My point still remains,
whether a girl is older or not, I'll still date her, (which of course could lead to sex or not) but will never marry her.

I'll state my reasons soon.....

Daikim,
A poly is a technical school offering instruction in many industrial arts and applied sciences while a Uni is an institution for higher learning with teaching and research facilities constituting a graduate school and professional schools that award master's degrees and doctorates and an undergraduate division that awards bachelor's degrees.

They are of course two different schools that can never be classified as the same.
A poly graduate has a Diploma while a Uni graduate has a Bachelor's.

I can date an older girl but will never marry a girl that's older than me.

What is the purpose of such dating (Here we go again!)

I'm quite aware of all the talks about this but I'll answer your question the best way I can make you understand.

The purpose of such dating is just to have fun!!

A date is suppose to be a form of social appointment with an opposite sex.
This could involve going out to some cool joints at first to have fun and this fun could graduate into having sex regularly after some time. Your date or the person whom you're dating is often regarded as your girlfriend or boyfriend.

[I]Pls note that this contract can be terminated at anytime[/I]

COURTSHIP
This involves seeking the affections of a woman (usually with the hope of marriage). The person you're courting is usually regarded as your Lover.
[I]Pls note that there's the hope of a marriage included here[/I]

ENGAGEMENT
This is a mutual promise made by two people to marry. The person you're engaged to is regarded as your Fiance
[I]Pls note that this only involves a promise and there's nothing else attached.[/I]

MARRIAGE
The state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a legal, consensual, and contractual relationship recognized and sanctioned by and dissolvable only by law. The person you're married to is regarded as your Wife/Husband.

MY CONCLUSION
If I'm dating someone, it doesn't necessarily mean that it must lead to the next stage which is supposed to be COURTSHIP.
If I'm courting someone, that means I'm interested in marrying her, this should probably lead to engagement if you're truly sincere.
If I'm engaged to someone then that means I'm definitely going to marry the person.

delarontus:
Seun, the question I asked was 'does MTN provide internet services to its subscribers?' The reason is because of AYA's statement that MTN's internet is consistent.

If you read my first post in this thread you'll see where I talked about MTN and Vmobile CSD with a link to AYA's site where you can get the CSD settings if you're interested. I must warn you that it's quite expensive sha
The major problem with glo is the lack of CSD which could have supplemented GPRS.

Seun, I agree with you big time.
I don't consider licking of wounds to be romantic.

I can date an older girl but will never marry a girl that's older than me.

Ok, I guess it's working cos my previous post plus this too were via wap. Been outa town for sometime now and glad to be back.

I've been trying to post via wap but it seems to be impossible on Nairaland, anybody tried it?

Hunter, we are not comparing shacks here. BTW, I think star is better sha!

This is my very first thread so far and I was motivated to write this lengthy post because of my old school friend I met 3 days ago.

[I]The following dialogue ensued between us on April 22nd 2004 at exactly 9:30am[/I]

Mamba- Ol'boy! Wetin dey happen now? Long time no see.

Oldschoolfriend- Omo I dey o! How things now?

[b]Mamba-[/b]Not bad o! Menn you're looking fresh O! BTW, what's that you're holding?

[b]Oldschoolfriend-[/b]It's my phone, I bought it last month for 100k, it’s a Nokia 9500 communicator, probably the best phone in town now.

[b]Mamba-[/b]Yeah! The phone's good, I know a guy that just bought it recently and has even written a review about it ([I]the guy knows himself, I’m sure he's going to be laughing now, his name's a 3 letter word that starts with A and ends with A[/I]) and says it's good. Have you seen my new phone? It’s a sonyericsson p910i, I’m sure it's going to kick your Nokia 9500's butts function wise.

[b]Oldschoolfriend-[/b]Haba! How can you be comparing Sonyericsson with Nokia, my phone's better than yours.

[I]All of a sudden, the Nokia ring tone starts blaring, he picks up the call and was like Hello, yeah, ehn ehn!, ok, ok, yea and he hangs up and conversation continues.[/I]

[b]Mamba-[/b]What was that call all about?

[b]Oldschoolfriend-[/b]I just got an info that an important e-mail has just been sent to my inbox, I gotta go check it ASAP, Lets look for the nearest Cyber cafe.

[I]Meanwhile the nearest Cyber is like 25km away.[/I]

[b]Mamba-[/b]Omo! The nearest Cyber is like 25km away O! But you got your communicator, why can’t you check your e-mail via your celli?

Oldschoolfriend-[/b]WHAT Check your e-mail via your [I]Celli[/I], never heard of that.

[b]Mamba-[/b]What line are you using?

[b]Oldschoolfriend-[/b]MTN

[b]Mamba-[/b]Ok then, you can check it on my p910i, I use glomobile.

[I]Mamba brings out his p910i, unhooks the stylus, opens the QWERTY keyboard flip and starts browsing to yahoo mail, Oldschoolfriends jaw drops, eye popping out of socket with mouth ajar. Within 30secs, Oldschoolfriend's yahoo inbox was showing the newly received e-mail[/I]

[I]Conversation continues[/I]

[b]Oldschoolfriend-[/b]I never knew you could do that on a [I]Celli[/I]?

[b]Mamba-[/b]Well, it's possible as you've seen but just that many Nigerians are ignorant, they buy the most expensive high end phones, aka smart phones, just like my Oldschoolfriend and never put it to real work, a cell phone is much more useful than for making & receiving calls alone

[b]END OF STORY

So therefore, if you are like my Oldschoolfriend and need to know more about Wap and mms/gprs, read on or visit HERE

What is Wap?
wap simply means wireless application protocol which is a service offered by GSM operators that enables you to browse wap/web sites on your mobile phone. Wap can be offered via CSD or GPRS.

What is MMS?
MMS simply means multimedia message which is an enhanced messaging service that operates via GPRS which allows you to send multimedia contents such as long/extended text, pictures, ring tones, greeting cards, voice recordings, short videos, scribbles, word documents and any other attachments of any form below 100kb from one phone to another or from a phone to an e-mail address.

How do I activate/use wap in Nigeria?
Wap is offered by virtually all the GSM operators in Nigeria.
Globacom is the only network offering GPRS Wap & MMS in Nigeria while MTN and Vmobile offers CSD which is a very expensive alternative without MMS.
For the purpose of interested users, I’ll advise you use glo which is more pocket friendly with free MMS inclusive till September, glo gprs will be our basis of discussion and will urge you to check HERE for more information about MTN and Vmobile CSD.

glomobile Wap/MMS activation
This service operates via GPRS and new users whom wants to subscribe have to call glo customer service on 121 to request for activation, your mobile number & handset make/model will be requested in order for your SIM to be provisioned for the service which may take between 2 to 6 days after which an MMS online password number is sent to you which confirms your successful activation.
After activation, you will need to input the glo Wap settings on your handset via OTA configuration by sending an SMS written in the format

1-Activate wap (handset make) (handset model) then send to 927 for wap settings
2-Activate wap (handset make) (handset model) then send to 667 for mms settings

E.g. I use a sonyericsson p910i handset, therefore I’ll write a message as follows

Activate wap sonyericsson p910i and send to 927

Activate mms sonyericsson p910i and send to 667

A confirmation SMS will be sent to you followed by an Autoconfig message which should be saved on your handset. Most common wap/mms enabled handset brands such as Nokia, Sonyericsson & Samsung settings are available via OTA config, in a case whereby your handset settings is not available via glo OTA you will have to enter the settings manually yourself, it's quite easy to do, please check here for required info Gosmartmobile

Getting started after activation
A bookmark with Wap address http://wap.gloworld.com is usually sent inclusive in the OTA config by glo to your phone, this is globacom wap homepage & there are links to some useful sites such as Yahoo!, MSN & esato on this site.
Globacom currently charges 70kobo/kb of data sent or received via wap for prepaid and 35kobo/kb peak or 20kobo/kb offpeak for postpaid subscribers; this means that accessing a wap page which is of 2kb size will cost you as follows

Prepaid 70kobo/kb x 2kb= =N=1:40

Peak Postpaid 35kobo/kb x 2kb= 70kobo

Off-peak Postpaid 20kobo/kb x 2kb= 40kobo

Most regular wap pages are below 4kb.

Useful tips that can save you money when using wap

Turn off images- it is advisable to turn off images from your handset internet settings so as to save on your gprs bills; some images on some wapsites are even larger in size than the main contents of the site itself.

Use bookmarks- bookmark sites you visit regularly to avoid viewing unnecessary multiple pages. Give these bookmarks names you can remember always.

Enable cookies- I guess we all know what this means, check internet settings.

Avoid WWW sites- these are internet sites that are very large in size and can put holes in your pocket, these sites can be as large as 50kb at times so watch out.

View wapsites on your PC before accessing it on your phone- Most wapsites can be viewed on your PC with Opera web/wap browser and there are websites that offer wap emulators online, an example of such site is [color=Red]http://www.wapsilon.com[/color] after viewing and testing the site online and it's worthy of your regular usage, bookmark on your handset.

NAIRALAND VIA WAP
Of course, nairaland can be viewed with your wap enabled phone and you can do majority of what you can do on the website via your PC on your mobile, though some functions might be limited.
To view nairaland on your phone, bookmark the wapsite [color=Red]http://wap2.nairaland.com/[/color] enjoy...

CHEERS!!

Yeah, Daikim is right.

That's Stunt 101 in politics.

[I]O'boy[/I] I feel you [I]o![/I]

The ad is fake!!

QED

Femi, Femi, Femi, how many times did I call you?

It seems you are trying to toast all the chicks in Nairaland or you are trying to tell us the meaning of your name ...

First with Trish and now Tayotina ...

[I]I comment my reserve[/I]

By the way, never had a date ...

well, i think this brother is working for glo.

Anyway, the information is very useful and we welcome anybody either working for glo, mtn, vmobile or mtel to be able to answer people's questions.

i like the glo premium but I think I would have preferred it if it had the option of glodirect inclusive.

The first option will be a better idea and I kinda prefer the name phones

More ideas

The money goes to NCC and then what?

thanks admin, long live NAIRALAND

still the best

well, I can see the idea admin is trying to bring in.

THEREFORE
there should be a part of this forum that accommodates all the s**t we don't want Mr president to see.

[I]Plzz abeg[/I], have you forgotten that this forum is also via WAP and as such. People will post from their phones. There's no keyboard on my phone so I'm limited to SMS language and some other s**t

All I can tell you guys is that the above advert is the fakest s**t advert I've ever seen on Nigerian TV.
No Nigerian chick is going to ever accept sunshine as a gift and be so happy like that.

All I'm trying to say is that the ad is ... well, WTF.

how much is the subscription per month and plz someone list all the channels available on this thingy ASAP.

It seems this is the best alternative to DSTV which is so damn expensive..

I'm gonna get this thing right away....

Jazz and classical music is just too weak for my listening pleasure, I live for HIP HOP, RAP and HARDCORE

I only switch to R&B when chicks start to complain......

Im now in the school of NYSC

formerly in ESUT Enugu

formerly formerly in Chrisland college

will join the school of HUSTLERS in august after NYSC

Cool! I guess I'll try this too.

I guess Nairaland will promote Globacom in a way. I won't be surprised if they add it to their WAP homepage very soon.

Good job Seun, so you're the 'big kahuna' of this site. Cool!

WTF, sunshine doesn't belong to him, talking of giving it as a gift.

HATE IT!!!
