GlobeTrotter2:
I don't think it's unjust. Ukrain wanted to join NATO. That is a big threat to Russia

Do you know what happened to Cuba because they aligned with Russia? Cuba is just 75Km from Miami. Till today they are still under serious sanctions. To buy common sweet or milk,you need to line up for more than one hour. Their cars are still oldsmobile. I have been there and seen it.myself. what US is doing to that country is so unfair and unjust.

My point is US knows the danger of Russia in their backyard. Why will they expect Russian to accept thesamehuh

Zelenaky is the most foolish president. Led his people to an unwinnable war. The man thinks its a movie. Now they will have to come to the table to negotiate after thousands of men are dead. Stupid
From this I can say that Russia was the one that showed the US the way to go about encircling your your enemy.
US learnt from Russia with the Cuba crisis issue and now they are doing the same back to Russia.

They don’t want to be associated with their embassy because of the covert nature of their mission but they have no problem with taking pictures and posting it all over social media and telling whoever care to listen that they are US special forces in the country.

Guy, make una dey reason small before posting nonsense now.
Chief, abeg watch the way u dey take talk. no be everybody u go dey insult up and down. U just jump, quote, dey yarn something else.

If you read my comments well, I only stated about special forces staying in hotels, did I in anyway reference the article and say that the pictures posted were special forces personnel.
PoliticsRe: US Special Force In Abuja Yesterday, Pics by mrdan(m): 10:05am On Oct 29, 2022
Special forces do stay in hotels when they don't want to be associated with their embassy due to covert missions that their country doesn't want traced back to them, also with this, whatever action they take, they would not have official protection from the embassy in case anything goes wrong.
They can also use safehouses for their stay.

Also its not only special forces that can come into a country, there are also private limitary contractors that can be used.

PhonesRe: Who Has MTN Volte Enabled On Their Phone? by mrdan(m): 7:29pm On Jun 10, 2022
Jacku:
what's volte?
What is VoLTE?
As the name suggests, Voice over LTE happens when your carrier allows you to place a phone call over your LTE connection instead of the older legacy voice networks. For example, Verizon Wireless traditionally used 1XRTT for all of your voice calls, relying on LTE for data. This used to be why Verizon phones couldn't simultaneously use voice and data. Likewise, AT&T and T-Mobile relied on a combination of LTE for data and HSPA+ for calls and would drop down to a 3G signal when talking to someone on the other line. With VoLTE, neither of these scenarios is necessary anymore.

I'm using a device that supports VoLTE and 5g.

Telling the public that VoLTE can be used on some Infinix phones and not Samsung S21 sounds unbelievable.
Me self, the matter shock me.
When Ntel rolled out theirs, I do not think it was phone by phone. They just had voLTE as default, so if your phone supports it on their band, you are good to go.
This one that MTN is rolling its own out phone by phone, i don't understand o.

blackpanda:
Nigeria's problem is not politicians. Nigeria's problem is Nigerians. Parents have failed. Churches have totally failed. Mosques have failed us too. Morality in nigeria is completely dead. And we all expect whomever emerges as president to do magic!
I wouldn't totally blame the people.
The leadership is suppose to provide a working enforcement procedure to combat all these failures from the citizens.

If we are to look at other societies, we can't say their citizens don't do bad thing, they do but the government makes sure they pay for this.

An example, from what we see and hear about the UK and US, if a road user commits a crime on the road he is fined a lot to deter them from doing this again, but for us here, do we have any worthy enforcement, rather the enforcer(police) is corrupt, we are not fined a lot, so lot of people think they can get away with crimes.

Another example, during Fashola's time, any road user going against traffic or using one way is usually taken for mental evaluation, that really stopped most user from going against traffic because nobody wants to be taken to a mental institution for test.

Phones5G: Mafab, Backed By Tinubu, Others, To Launch Mobile Network by mrdan(op): 4:49pm On Dec 17, 2021
Technology Times has learnt that Mafab Communications Limited, winner of one of the two 5G licences sold Monday plans to launch a mobile network operator (MNO) in Nigeria by 2022.

Mafab Communications Limited consortium led by Nigerian tycoon, Dr Musbahu Mohammad Bashir, Chairman of Althani Group counts high-net worth Nigerian investors including Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ex Lagos State Governor and current National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC); Colonel Sanni Bello, former military Governor of Kano State among other investors, Technology Times can confirm authoritatively.

Barring any last-minute change, Mafab plans to launch a greenfield MNO to roll out 5G service that will make the 5G auction winner Nigeria’s next MNO to compete with existing operators like MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile, and nTel.

mafab-backed-tinubu-launch-5g-network-2022mafab-backed-tinubu-launch-5g-network-2022 Dr Musbahu Mohammad Bashir, Chairman of Althani Group and lead promoter of the Mafab consortium is going ahead witn plan for an indigenous MNO, after the consortium won the 5G licence.
Barring any last-minute change, Mafab plans to launch a greenfield MNO to roll out 5G service that will make the 5G auction winner Nigeria’s next MNO to compete with existing operators like MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile, and nTel.

Mafab’s MNO plan comes just as the consortium and MTN Nigeria, the largest MNO in Nigeria, won the two licences in 2.3GHz spectrum bands put up for sale by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for deployment of 5G service, with each winner to pay $273,600,000 per licence.

Yesterday’s 5G auction that raked in $547,200,000 for the Nigerian Government will also see MTN Nigeria shelling out an additional $15,900,000.00 after the MNO’s offer ranked higher than Mafab’s $11,120,000 to win the right to be assigned its spectrum lot out of the two licences at the assignment stage of the bids.

Meanwhile, Technology Times has learnt that following the success of the Mafab consortium in the 5G auction, Bashir, the lead promoter of the consortium, who has always believed that there is to need to deepen local content and increase the participation of Nigerians in the telecoms industry has opened talks with U.S. and Chinese equipment suppliers to decide on the choice of equipment supplier for the planned MNO in Nigeria.

“There is no plan to sell the Mafab 5G spectrum”, a source in the know of the group’s plan says on condition of anonymity citing that the investors are convinced that an indigenous company can still thrive in the Nigerian telecoms industry.

Meanwhile, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, NCC Executive Vice Chairman of NCC who doubled as Auction Overseer following the outcome of the 5G auction, the provisional winners, Mafab and MTN are expected to pay the $273,600,000 winning bid price for each lot of 100 MHz TDD “are expected to pay the Winning Bid price, less the Intention-to-Bid Deposit, by February 24, 2022.”

Danbatta says that the auction process was efficient, fair, credible, well-organised, and transparent and was designed to deliver the ideal outcome.

The two winners emerged in a keenly contested that witnessed 11 rounds of bidding that lasted eight hours at the keenly-contested 3.5GHz Spectrum auction conducted by NCC in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.

In the first Round of the auction, the bid price was fixed at $199,374,000.00; $201,367,740.00 at second Round; $204,388,356.10 at third Round; $209,407,962.50 at fourth Round and $215,782,901.30 at the fifth Round.

The auction prices increased progressively to $224,414,217.43 at the Sixth Round; $231,146,643.96 at the seventh Round; $240, 392,509.71 at the eighth Round; $251, 210,172.65 at the ninth Round; and $263,700,050.00 at the Round 10 of the auction exercise.

The auction process reached its peak at Round 11 when the bid price graduated to $275,904,886.25 with all the three bidders still actively participating. The Main Stage of the Auction, however, ended at the conclusion of the 11th Round, with Airtel listing an exit bid of $270,000,000, while MTN posted an exit bid of $273,000,000, giving way to the Assignment Stage.

At this point, Airtel had dropped off from the race having posted a lower exit bid, thus leaving Mafab and MTN as winners of the two available lots.

At the end of the auction, Danbatta says the strongest bidders have emerged provisional winners, raising a substantial amount for the Federal Government.

He congratulated the winners and thanked the Federal Government for its support and commitment to the deployment of 5G technology in Nigeria, which, he said, will bring substantial network improvements, including higher connection speed, mobility and capacity as well as low-latency capabilities to communications services in Nigeria.

Sequel to the successful auction by the two winners, Danbatta said in line with the processes outlined in the IM, the provisional winners have proceeded to the Assignment Stage.

According to Danbatta, “MTN Communications Nigeria Plc made an offer of $15,900,000 for the assignment of a preferred Lot, while Mafab Communications Limited made an offer of $11,120,000 for a preferred Lot. Thence, MTN Communications Nigeria Plc, having made the highest offer was given the right to select its most preferred Lot and it selected Lot 1 (3500-3600 MHz), while Lot 2 (3700-3800 MHz) is consequentially assigned to Mafab Communications Limited at no extra cost.”

He thanks stakeholders, who have contributed to the success of the auction process saying that the huge investment that will accrue from the sales of the spectrum band auctioned will result in increased transformation in life and businesses.
