Phones › Re: Is T2 Mobile (9mobile) Dead? Are They Making Profit? by olaNL: 7:36am On Jul 14

dominique:
My line is still active, I still recharge on it from time to time to keep it active but I hardly use it anymore. The moment they switched to T2 from 9mobile, they scrapped recharge bonus and reduced their data allocation. As at the time of my last subscription, their data was more expensive than MTN data. If not for the sentimental attachment I have for all my lines, I would have thrown away the sim.

You can just port the number to another network. I've done same from 9mobile to MTN and kept the same number.

Please don't take my comment personal. It was just for this specific write-up and I am not accusing the OP of always using AI.

Note that I did not use any AI checker to come to this conclusion but if you are familiar with AI text or speech there is a pattern to it and this write-up has similar pattern. An example is the following paragraphs

"
The bus ticket, the hotel, the blouse – maybe ₦85,000 total. Not a fortune. But it was the difference between her showing up stressed, underprepared, and exhausted from an overnight bus… and showing up rested, sharp, and confident."

"I keep a stocked kitchen whenever she's around. Not fancy things – eggs, bread, rice, the basics. But ALWAYS stocked. Because "there's nothing at home" is a sentence I don't allow in my house.

I handle data and subscriptions without being asked. Netflix, the Wi-Fi router, her Spotify. Small things. Maybe ₦15,000 a month combined. But she never has to think about them. That's the point."

AllBlack:
Hello, some people actually possess the ability to write multiple paragraphs with all the pointers in the right places and the structure intact, especially when they actually mean to write.

Everything should not be easily attributed to the modern presence and dominance of AI. It is an insult and rather unfair to someone like me who has even disabled AUTO-CORRECT on all devices for many years now.

Writing is still a valid skill.

Crime › Eight Days After Adeleke’s Pardon, Ex-Convict Commits Crime, Returns To Prison by olaNL(op): 7:40am On Jan 22, 2025

Barely eight days after being granted pardon by Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, a former inmate, Sunday Omisakin, has been remanded in the Ilesa Correctional Facility for allegedly breaking into a house to steal a television.

Omisakin, who was listed as number 8 on the governor’s prerogative of mercy list signed on December 26, 2024, had been pardoned for what was described as a minor offence.

However, on January 3, 2025, he was arrested for allegedly burgling a residence in Osogbo and stealing a plasma television valued at N600,000.
The suspect was arraigned before the Osun State Magistrate Court in Osogbo, presided over by Magistrate Adekanmi Adeyeba, on two counts of burglary and theft.

According to police prosecutor Inspector Kayode Adeoye, “On January 3, 2025, at about 12:00 p.m. at Al-Medinat Area, Iludun, Osogbo, Omisakin broke into the house of one Shittu Damilare and stole a plasma TV worth N600,000.”

Omisakin has been remanded pending further court proceedings.

“The offence committed is contrary to and punishable under section 411 (1) (2) 363, 390(9) of criminal code cap 34 vol.II laws of Osun State of Nigeria 2002.”

Meanwhile, he pleaded not guilty to the offence as his counsel, Najite Okobe urged the court to admit him to bail in most liberal terms.

The prosecutor opposed to the bail stating that “Governor just pardoned him few days ago. He was sentenced to prison by Magistrate Olusegun Ayilara and he was not done serving his jail term.”

Why does it have to take the governor of a whole state to give the go ahead for a collapsed toilet to be reconstructed. Something that a local government chairman or councilor should be doing. How can the state move forward with this kind of approach. This is why the local government autonomy is needed.

Politics › Is This The Death Of Bdcs/black Market? by olaNL(op): 7:25pm On Feb 20, 2024

With the recent policies like merging the rate of official and parallel market, paying out foreign inflow in its naira equivalent and stopping cash payment for PTA/BTA, one can easily conclude that they have restricted forex going out to the BDCs which is one of the cause of the current forex crisis.

With all these done, the CBN only needs to take a few more steps like allowing payment for foreign goods/service directly from personal / business accounts at the prevailing rates and that will kill the demand for forex at the parallel market.

Travel › Three Migrants Rescued After Stowing Away On Oil Tanker Rudder For 11 Days by olaNL(op): 11:38am On Nov 29, 2022

The three men were pictured hovering precariously on the vessel's rudder, just above the waterline.

The Spanish coastguard says it has rescued three migrants who stowed away on the rudder of a tanker that arrived in the Canary Islands this week.

The three men were found on the oil and chemical tanker Alithini II when it came into Las Palmas on Monday after an 11-day journey from Lagos in Nigeria, according to ship-tracking website Marine Traffic.

A photo distributed by the coastguard showed them sitting on the rudder of the Maltese-flagged vessel, just above the waterline.

They were taken into port, with Spanish news agency EFE saying they were treated in hospital for moderate dehydration.

It is not the first time migrants have tried to stow away on the rudder of a ship.

In October 2020, four people stowed away on the rudder of an oil tanker from Lagos, hiding for 10 days before police discovered them as the vessel came into Las Palmas.

The number of migrants crossing from north Africa to the Canary Islands has increased dramatically since 2019.

Reuters citied Spanish data as saying that migration by sea to the archipelago increased by 51% in the first five months of this year, compared with a year earlier.

But those who cross this way are risking their lives, and thousands of people die each year.

I have but they declined, reason I became they have given me extension time before.

Maybe you should cancel the payment and generate another payment instruction from flywire then you should go to your bank and tell them to put the new reference number instead of the former one when they want to send the money. I think it should still be the same account number for both the new and old.

Please let me know if this method is successful I might need to do the same from the way things are going with the bank.

Thanks

Go to the flywire website and reach out to their support center. Explain that you are trying to pay from Nigeria and would require that the payment timeline be extended. They will add 14 days to the deadline.

This is exactly what I did yesterday. My deadline is supposed to be today, now it is 24th june.

Politics › Re: NURTW: Averting Fresh Violence In Lagos - Punch Editorial by olaNL: 8:34am On Mar 25, 2022

After reading this part of the article, it is obvious that the writer is being mischievous

But notwithstanding Akinsanya’s pullout from the NURTW, it is still business as usual in Lagos parks and on its roads.

NURTW is not peculiar to Lagos state alone and their mode of operation is same with other states of the county. Why does the writer only disparage Lagos state alone instead of the whole NURTW

It is scandalous that Lagos State continues to tolerate the extortion, violence and disorderliness of the NURTW on the roads. Its thuggish agents collect dues by force from drivers, tricycles and commercial motorcycles, even from non-NURTW members. Sanwo-Olu and his officials cannot be loudly repeating the Lagos ‘megacity’ aspiration while tolerating the atrocious operations of the unions.

How do you intend getting cash into your dorm account by the way?

If you fx cash, you will just deposit it the same way you do any regular deposit. Or you can transfer from your other naira accounts in to your dorm account at the official exchange rate. You should also be able to receive international payment directly into your dorm account.
