The many benefits of the free MTN missed call alert service.


Following the introduction of the MTN missed call alert service into the Nigeria telecommunication industry, a move that is first of its kind and particularly plausible is the fact that the service is free for all MTN subscribers. With the Nigerian power industry still in the state where you cannot trust to give you battery power that will last through the day and the possibility that you may switch off your phone late in the night without the believe that any late call might reach your line – switching it on and being able to see your missed calls ASAP and being able to reach the caller at the quickest possible time is a good service that is worth applauding. The many benefits of this service can’t be overemphasized.


1. MTN keeps you up to speed with calls you have missed while your phone was switched off or out of reach.

You may want to think that you have your car, office and your home that has 24 hours power supply to keep your battery fully charged at all times, but when you reach areas where your network is bad and your line unreachable the MTN missed call service would make you receive messages that quickly show you calls that you missed when your phone was switched off or out of reach. All this are possible with the MTN who called service.


2. If you want to reach a person and the line is switched off or out of reach you get alert notifying you that the person’s line is available when it is switched on or available.

There are times when we urgently want to reach a person even when we know we are already having a flat battery we still find ourselves trying the number many times to verify if the Number is now available or switched on, but with this service you may want to stop dialing any number you want to call after the first try and its switched off or unavailable because you will get alert that will notify you of the availability through the MTN notify me service.


HOW TO ACTIVATE THIS SERVICE


To activate who called with notify me service send SET 01 TO 100 by SMS

To activate who called service send SET 02 TO 100 BY SMS

To check your status send STATUS to 100 by SMS.

The service is free and currently only on MTN network alone. We wish other network can take a cue from this. please note that you will not receive alert for numbers that have their number or caller identity hidden when they call.

Instead of all this single ladies this single ladies that let us pray and fast for our young men to be successful at least be comfortable to take care of their family. 70% of women take care of there family. Create a thread teaching men how to be successful women are suffering in the name marriage.

TrapQueen77:

Haven't u read a thread the other day the 100+ age young lady (I must say), juz got hitched to her young ,hot admirer ?


In this world we're living now, nothing is impossible

TrapQueen77:



I am married to my job..

I find it very apt at this point to reveal these characteristics to our ladies who will have to make tough decisions going forward and will want it to be the best option that won’t end up a daily regret. We find it hard to believe that a beautiful lady and sometimes very successful in their career with a great personality that every man should be proud to introduce to their friends and family as their wife, will not even be proposed to talk more of being married. These are the attribute peculiar to this kind of Ladies that are in this class. Avoid all this if you don’t want to tell people that you never wanted to get married at a particular stage of your life.

1.THEIR SOCIAL LIFE IS AT THE TWO EXTREME END OF TOO MUCH AND TOO LITTLE OR NON-EXISTENT

Too much of everything they say is never good. When it comes to the social life of a lady guys that have intention of marrying them never take it for granted. When a lady goes out clubbing and partying all the time and finds it as a major source of her happiness it makes it hard for a guy to want to settle down with such a lady as he fears the possibility of the lady finding it difficult to put a stop to that part of their life when they are married. So also is the case for a lady who has little or no social life, this kind will be seen to be an impediment to a fun filled social life when they are married. A Guy want to do some of those things he does when he was still single – albeit those that won’t make him become a cheating husband and when he is dating a lady that won’t either join him or allow him, he will never see a future in their relationship.


2. THEY WANT EVERYTHING TO GO HAS PLANNED NO ROOM FOR FLEXIBILITY OR CREATIVITY

If you are a lady and you still have an unwritten timetable that you read out when your guy is about proposing an outing or a place to catch fun know that you are becoming spontaneous and having an uneventful life. I have always said it that spontaneity is the major cause of divorce in every relationship. When two married people do the same thing every time and place, they quickly get bored and comb their mind of how to get out if their current predicament. So no guy will want to tie the knot to an impending disaster that kills the marriage faster even with kids involved.


3. THEY WERE ONCE A BABY MAMA GROWING UP

We are in a society where men want to be the first person that gave a lady her first child and the moment they see a lady that’s a single mother they find it hard to propose marriage to her. Most of those in the age gamut of 32 and above that are unmarried have at one time in their life giving birth to one or two children outside wedlock and which makes them to be perceived as irresponsible. Some parents have even rejected to bless and support their son when they present a single mother as their future wife’s.


4. THEY HAVE AT ONE TIME IN THEIR LIFE WANTED TO ACHIEVE CAREER SUCCESS FIRST BEFORE THINKING ABOUT MARRIAGE

There is a time for everything under the sun and when this times and season comes it is also expected to go. This bracket of ladies has their career plan worked out in which marriage is not an option until they have achieved these successes. When a lady will marry cannot be planned because the lady will not marry herself unless he intends picking up a guy and paying her dowry by herself which have been done by many and have backfired into a failed marriage because the man will surely take you for granted.

5. THEY ARE FAMOUS AND MOSTLY CELEBRITIES

When it’s about a lady that’s famous I don’t think it’s a fault of theirs but even the famous men of their status and class do sometimes prefer to look for ladies that they won’t have a problem to deal with their level of wealth and fame. Ladies that are famous and are celebrities that are not single at this age bracket married before attaining the level of fame. The perception towards our celebrities in Nigeria is very unfair as most of them are seen to live lavish, wasteful and promiscuous lifestyles and the mention of a celebrity these men take to their heels.


6. SPENT MAJOR PART OF THEIR DAY AT WORK CLOSING LATE AT NIGHT IN THEIR LIFETIME

Picture a lady working for a company she leaves home before day break and arrives almost midnight from Mondays to Saturday and sometimes Sundays that even her next door neighbour can’t describe how she looks if the police are on her trail on when she has a visitor. This kind of ladies are married to their job and will need to first divorce their marriage with their Job before men will begin to look their way.


7. REJECTED MEN WHO ARE YET TO BE SUCCESSFUL

Ask most ladies that are single at 32 and above if they have ever been asked for their hands in marriage, they will say yes but will look for a lie to cover up that they rejected on the grounds that they were not ready at that time which is not always the case. It is mostly a case of them wanting a man that is already rich and wealthy which sometimes will take them eternity to find because that rich and famous man may be dating many other ladies too and weighing his options.


8. ALWAYS IN A RELATIONSHIP BUT WILL LEAVE IT AT THE SIGHT OF A MORE SUCCESSFUL GUY

This class of single ladies have never been short of dates as they are always in the market of doing costly and more mouth watering transfers to the next great guy and are ready to leave a strong relationship that can lead to marriage at every transfer windows, which can be akin to what plays out in the European football market where footballers can live their current club when they receive bids from a bigger club at a mouth watering fee and can do this as many time as they want before they retire.


9. CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THEIR FRIENDS WILL THINK OF THEIR CHOICE

These ladies will never give an opportunity to a guy that they can’t brag about to their friends and make them envious of them when they are gisting. No matter how long it will take them to see this 21st century or Columbia films production dream guy, they prefer to remain single. They have the habit of making mockery of friends of their status and class that settled with not so successful kind of guy and will dare not want to be at the receiving end and sometimes their pride won’t let them. They have always wanted a lavish wedding that will put the world to a standstill and be written about in all lifestyle magazines and will never see a future in a guy that won’t provide this.


10.THEY ARE MOSTLY EGOISTIC, ALL-KNOWING(NEVER CORRIGIBLE), AND NEVER APPRECIATIVE

The final attribute is the killer, as no guy will want to have two captains in one boat, if a guy can buy heaven and earth for them they will still be something this kind of lady will say he hasn’t bought may be this time the moon and the sun. She is also wiser than King Solomon and will rebuff any idea, suggestion or advise that comes her way. When they were still teenagers and in their 20’s you will hear them say I can’t wash my husband’s clothe, I won’t always be in the kitchen what’s our maid going to be doing and they hardly find it difficult to say sorry or accept to be the person at fault in any disagreement. This entire attribute are the cause of a woman single at 32 and above.


Have I missed an important attribute?

POTUS01:
Show me one single threat to this protest that was not a threat before now? Nothing. The difference? More Nairaland fingers like you than real soldiers.

Police saying "we can't guarantee your security"? Very normal. Being accused you are sponsored by the opposition? Standard...

Protests will be hijacked? We heard that before. Invitations by SSS before protest? Happened several times...

Everything that happens before a major protest happened to this one. Nothing new happened save for the fact that people like you are the problems we have.

rejoice4eva:
The big question is that, will the concerned leaders at all levels do the needful ? Why are we so wicked in this nation.? is it not clear and glaring that we are suffering and something needed to be done urgently?

azimibraun:
Na wa for you o! Why are you talking as if you are in Country with decent and rational thinking people in majority? Am even shocked that a reasonable person like you exist. I have long giving up hope thinking i am alone in this country. May God keep you o! You are one of the last of a dying breed. You and I need to be conserved. We are an endagerd species. Nigerins don't have sense anymore o! One direction thinking. Our people just want rumour and drama. Must 2face march ; if the circumstance for marching is not right; what then is the noblest thing to do? Cancelle and continue the discussion via different fora.. Twitter, Facebook, Intagrm etc. Is it the march that is important or the message; who hasn't gotten the message; what drove the government to set up a task force on the cost of food in Nigeria? The 2face planned protest. Yet the chosen one is being insulted by people who hailed him a while ago.

Many received the news of the cancellation of the February 6 nationwide protest spearheaded by the Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2face Idibia with utter dismay and chagrin, with different name calling, people calling him a coward, others suggesting that he has been compromised and have received bribe, while others made a twist to is name calling him a two-faced individual, but in all I would have expected a miracle if the protest had held in a country without any foundation and tenets of democracy.


1. 2face looked beyond monetary gratification


First Nigerians must admit the fact that it takes a lot for a celebrity of 2face’s status that is still in his prime and active music career to voice out against politicians that are the major provider of their revenue when the invite them to their occasions and event. Many other celebrity of his status that have ties or intend to have ties with the current political party would not have shown interest in the first place. He knew the loss he will incur in joining the protest but was never hindered.


2. Our security agencies cajoled him to reaching the regrettable decision


Those standing outside the heat of the bout would not know how many calls 2face has received from the High and mighty in Nigerian security ranking to cancel the protest or be faced with whatever consequences that will be as a resultant of the protest when properties are destroyed and life’s are lost. In saner climes the Nation security will all be deployed to make sure that protest is not hijacked by those that have intentions to use the medium in wrecking havoc and atrocities.


3. We are not ready for this kind of protest as a Nation.


Need not look too far, have you asked yourself why would a counter protest be fixed on the day a protest has already been scheduled for, it’s all in the guise to cause the protest to be far from peaceful. In a country where people are civilized and understand that protest is not a war, the counter protest will never have resurfaced in the first place. To many the protest was seen as a movement to change the current government, which was never the case.


4. The Idea behind the protest was misconstrued


The protest was not seen for what it actually was, some had the idea that it was all about the current government and the APC as a party and will in the long run play a major role in the 2019 polls and for this kind and their likes that would want to hold on to power in the 2019 elections there are ready to fight with their last blood to maim and kill whoever is going to stand their way. Do you know how many threats people like this would have sent the way of 2face Idibia against the February 6 protest.


5. The Protest if Hijacked by Hoodlums and robbers, who will take the blame?


Tell me of any peaceful protest that has ever happened in Nigeria without the Police recording a case of accidental discharge of lead bullet and not rubber bullet designed to control crowd in other Nations of the world. Some of the people using all kind of word to abuse him for this decisions will become the Two-faced individual that they are currently tagging him, you will hear them mutter in silence and loud in public that 2face has caused the death of some people because of gratification he has received to lead a protest against the government of the day.


The victory he achieved are innumerable, he has been able to make the poor and the needy of our nation know that he is ready to speak out against the ills bedeviling our society and won’t mind what people will say about him or his past. Many of his previous update on social media about what the problems of our country is that need quick revamping and attention has been read by many of our leaders and I am sure they will know we are watching. This would not have been the case if it was not a person of is status that played the role he played. He can bow out with the assurance that he achieved victory even in the cancellation. He is a rare gem and with this he has started a thing that will soon make others that have not had the courage to speak before now to thread the path he has taken, if all celebrity can start singing, tweeting and speaking of the ills of our society and not the number of houses they have or woman they carry, Nigeria will surely become the country of our dream.

I pity my Igbo brother
that think this man will give them Biafra. If you listen to his inaugural speech yesterday, he said American will no longer medley with another country affairs. My iPod brother nothing can come out of this racist man that call himself American President. Remember he said "American first, American first.

amicable09:
Mmmh...

OP, I know the guy.
But did he tell you to announce his misfortune here?

DICKtator:
If I can meet a marketing target of 200 million or even meet half of my targets on a monthly basis, wouldn't it be logical for me to become an entrepreneur. Since I am that good at convincing people to part with their money,why not market a product that I know all the profit and commission would come to me and no one else?

buwanhot:
Offline marketing is very critical, if you are into B2B sales.

kidman96:
WHEN THERE ARE GOOD AND BETTER VACANCIES IN THEIR COMPAMIES AND ORGANISATIONS THEY GIVE THE ROLES TO THEIR RELATIVES. WHEN THERE ARE MARKETING ROLES THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SWEAT TO PAY SALARIES OF OTHER STAFF SITTING IN THE OFFICE THEY ADVERTISE. THEY SHOULD ALSO GIVE MARKETING JOBS TO THEIR RELATIVES.

ojay72:
In addition to this... the banks have no provision for the replacement of shoes. Lollzzzz.
