Lolz..u seem to not be nigerian-bred...
Aw can u liken a morally sensitive word as INTEGRITY to MTN of all companies??

Nigeria is supposed to be getting civilized and conscious of business integrity... Anyway when we have such porous government with no working regulatory body what do we expect?

0ubenji:
Take my advice..
The next time u wanna gv MTN a suicidal chance...mk sure som1 has been thr b4...dat way..u av had a scapegoat who must av tested d waters to be real cold(if it turns out -ve)..
Dat has bin my game..I'm neva in a hurry to lick juicy offers..I wait for peeps like u(no offence intended) to do d reconnaissance survey for me mehn..

Like what they say... once bitten twice shy... I've learnt! and if mtn don't talk on this issue or treat it, am porting. I deserve an explanation. It's called integrity in business...

Samzack:
left 2 me deze guyz wuld b outta diz country, cuz if it were a nigerian company dat tried diz in SA dey wuld have called names or start killing Nigerians but itz only in Nigeria we accept diz type of sh-t

Thats the problem. Things like this happens and we keep quiet about it. Even when we talk there is nobody to listen so it just keep happening...
Imagine that I even brought it to their notice via calls and Twitter yet mtn didn't have the decency to reply my tweet.

0ubenji:
I got d same msg 2days ago, but I'm not gullible

Its not about being gullible bro
..
Sometimes you just think for once this guys will do the right thing and keep to their words... But of course the disappointment will be very great.

To think that I had just subscribed my airtel cos thats what I use when I saw this mtn deal and just felt like giving it a try while praying that those guys don't disappoint as usual.... Hmmmm

Samzack:
Deze guyz r lyk sick thieves, I rilli dont use my mtn 2 browse I dumped dem long tym wen dey started dat pulse movement nd trust me dat 3.5gb u have will nt be more dan 1gb deze guyz tink dey r smart I bought dat deir 1gb plan nd it was nt more dan 200mb my broda jst throway dat ur sim mtn r jst international licsenced criminals

And we have regulatory bodies thats supposed to be regulating this guys...
Abeg Lalasticlala don't let this guys get away with this.... Help push this up so other persons can beware and desist from those promo subscription MTN offers.

W3xy1:
You shouldn't have use the Mb at all. You should have told their customer care to take their mb and help you refund your credit.

Bros... the thing is so annoying! I called the silly customer care all she can say is that she isn't sure they were the one that sent me the message...

ARE MTN THIEVES OR I'M SEEING DOUBLE?
I got a message yesterday afternoon from MTN, and they tagged it MTNJULYDEAL.
They asked that I recharge #2,000 within 3days and I'm gonna be be given 7GB with bonus 3.5GB worth of data. I have never trusted MTN and the package looked too good to be true. I don't use mtn for my data bundle cos I don't trust them and they just proved me right.
I decided to give them the benefit of doubt. Though still having subscription on my other sim, I recharged 2,000 and sent the text/subscribed as requested. After which my money was deducted. Lo and behold I was given only 3.5GB. Of course i use a cheaper data with airtel so why would I have to subscribe for mtn again if not cos of d deal?
I called the customer care line, and after much argument, the lady said she isn't aware of any promo or deal like that! To say I was angry is to say the least... This hard economic times MTN decided to bobo me. They cheated me in broad day light!
The customer care said there was only 3.5GB in my account and she doubts if the message I got was from MTN as they can't make such deals!
Attached are the screen short to botress my point!
I call on mtn to either credit my account with the said data or return my 2k... Not just back to my phone but to my account in cash as I had better things to do before I subscribed else I'll keep talking about your theifry to as many ears as wanna hear!!
This isn't fair
Screen short below

Pls help broadcast this till it gets to MTN. Enough of this stealing from the masses to enrich themselves...

saintkel:
Nice one OP, y didn't u come out Mr Nairaland?, u for beat all dis kpomo men silly. Back to the topic* if I tell u I pay 350 naira for last month u won't believe me. Two factors made dis possible; my meter n late night supply. D nepa man takes our meter reading twice in a month n frm its reading not much changes can be inferred by me cos it moves not than 3-6 units. Most light supplied is usually at nyt say 10pm till 6am so no much activity except to switch on my fan n sleep

Thanks Jare!!! leave politics for politicians jor...

redcap:
Ensure distribution of prepaid meters to every home then come back and edit this rubbish you typed here.

Of course that is already ongoing! Big Kudos to Ikeja Electrics who has started that initiative giving free prepaid meters to all their customers.
By then we'll know who gains more...

daewoorazer:
ur excellency, op, go learn abt jungle justice b4 u start pointing fingers to those smart consumers....

In same news, d useless nepaa guys wont evn suply u power, if u lyk install 15 meters in ur aoz

#teamSolar

Jungle Justice? Anyway the point was to educate us on how it works. It's not totally the fault of the distribution companies... Most times our aiding and abetting is the cause!!!

Flexherbal:
Estimated bill is illegal.

Who told u that sir? which constitution says so

WHY YOUR NEPA BILLS ARE ALWAYS THIS HIGH!!!
Very soon there will be a distribution of bills (If it has not started) to all of us using electricity from the various distribution companies, and ofcourse it is ineligible that some of us will be given high bills… Many of us as usual will curse ‘NEPA’ and vow to beat any of the staff when we see them. Hmmmm!
Before we start cursing and beating the next electricity distribution staff we see, let’s look at the major reason why our bills are always high (For those without meters)… I won’t talk of the usual reason we already know, but what we majorly don’t know…
Aside the fact that our electricity usage can be high due to our home appliances (FOR THOSE USING METERS), this article focuses on those not having any meter rather get ESTIMATED BILLS.
Now, most times, electricity distributed to our areas, street, etc. are measured. E.G if a street is being supplied by a transformer called DT (Distribution transformer), there is a meter used in measuring the amount of electricity supplied to that street from the transformer. When this electricity is supplied, it is expected to be accounted for in form of payments accordingly (Ofcourse all business aim is to make profit).
At the end of the month, those having meters are billed according to their meter reading (ofcourse prepaid has already paid for their usage hence theirs is excluded). What about those without meters? After those with meters are billed, the remaining energy is divided for payments amongst those without meters in the area to account for all energy.
E.G;
In Akpako Street, 200,000 worth of energy is supplied, at the end of the month, those with meters are removed. Say 30% of people have meter in the street. So remove 30% from 200,000 we have 140,000 remaining.
The remaining 140,000 as unaccounted energy is shared for the remaining occupants without a meter. Now WHY IS IT HIGHER THAN THOSE WITH METER?
Remember that we have people bypassing supply, people using free light, and others not having light during the day and by night you see them playing music and always having cold water. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE MAKING YOUR BILL HIGH NOT NEPA (DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES).
Yes I said that… Your uncle down the road bypassing is one reason you have a high bill. It is Simple, since the distribution companies have supplied light to your street, and are expecting an amount commensurate with the supply, after removing the energy used by those with meter, they assume the remaining energy was used by the remaining customers without meter since they are not aware of anybody bypassing or using free energy, so it is shared and used in billing customer’s without meter.
So next time you wanna blame someone for high bills, Blame your Aunty’s children and REPORT BYPASS TO ENSURE ELECTRICITY BILL IS FAIRLY SHARED.
If this can be handled and energy theft is reported, people will pay lower for electricity and unnecessary estimation will be limited as those using electricity but not registered with the company will be caught, registered and pay for usage which will reduce what you pay for… Enjoy Your Break…

danowena:
Very nice advise but u need to tidy up the writing. Too many repetitions. I kept getting lost whilst reading.

Modified... Thank You!!!

This is especially for my brothers and sisters in the everyday hustle... Lagos as a case study!
After gathering money for months and you finally decide that you want to rent another apartment and upgrade your status, which is of course a very good thing! Please put this into consideration!
This is an advice from my few months experience staying in Lagos and meeting with clients... Now enough of much talk!

Please, When you get that dream house of yours, I know d compound is cool, the rooms are big, and the neighbour's daughter is very pretty! But NEVER FAIL TO ASK FOR THE NEPA BILL/PREPAID RECEIPT OF THE HOUSE.

This is my point... I've seen many people rent a house after which they receive their bills for the next month and see an arrears of hundred's of thousands... some even more than the money used in renting the house! Trust me... NEPA bills are attached to properties and not individuals hence a former tenant can accrue debts and move out of the apartment while u Innocently go and rent it. The agents/Landlord will not show u the bill... You have to insist on seeing it.. else the bills will be on you as the new tenant and you will be held liable by NEPA... Afterall na u dem meet there...


This also applies to prepaid users. You may feel its prepaid meter... Some of those meters have accrued arrears. This is how it works. When a bill owes so much, and a prepaid meter is bought or given to the premises, The debts from the bill is factored into the prepaid meter and scheduled to be paid within a specific period of time, E.G

Benson owes 200k before he got a prepaid meter, NEPA (d distribution companies) wants to assist Benson since he can't clear it once, They factor the money into his meter say for 20months... That means Benson will be paying 10k as debt every month aside his normal recharge for the month!
So Benson moves out and you move in to meet a prepaid meter which makes you happy, only to recharge and discover you have a debt of 10k which you are to pay every month for a long time!!!

This you should put into consideration cos I have seen so many people in debt not incurred by them.

Have a lovely weekend

Annunaki:
As a christian, you are not supposed to pay tithe in the first instance.

Pls back up your point pls.

Lalasticlala, pls help me get more info...

I may have a different concept of how I pay tithe and I wanna know if I'm wrong....

I get my Salary say 50k...
I then calculate and remove my basic needs for that month (feeding and transportation) say 20k,

Then the remaining cash I remove one tenth from it for my tithe...
Is this practicable? is it acceptable? Bible scholars kindly assist because I wanna be sure I'm/have been doing the right thing...
Thanks

Why put the bank on fire? Nigeria is a modern day jungle.

[quote author=49cents post=46453227]Instant justice[/quote7:]

I concur... If u say let's leave this for the police, the police officer will go scot free...
I think in confirmed case like this, with the kinda country we are in, instant justice is allowed... thieves and petty rubbers should be left for the police...

Uromi in Esan North East, Edo central, Edo state is currently hot. A police officer allegedly shot and killed an okada man around Union Bank.

Mobs didn't find it funny as they killed the police officer immediately.

More details coming shortly.

Please when is covenant part time form going to come out and ow much is the school fee now An urgent response is needed pls to make a decision.
Regards

armadeo:
Guy negotiate wih him directly. If you like the house pay if not move out.

It's his house and he notified you duly. Maybe he has even found new tenants and wants you to move out.

It is well.

My rent expires next month!!! He sent in the letter yesterday.... That is not fair! knowing i already have a budget for the rent as usual!!! now he wants an increment and i have just less than a month notice!

OlujobaSamuel:
@op, you said 5years, that's more than enough time for you to expect an increase in rent. just pay up or move out. lawyer will always tell you that you have a good case if you have the money, when cash finish for your pocket, your good case turns to.......?

I've not stayed for 5yrs, i packed in last year!!! but the house has been built over 5yrs now!!

shakyriri:
May Allah provide for u.pay if u can.then start scouting next year when rent is due.frankly the 20% increase versus the agreement n commission on a new place is a factor to consider.all d best

Thanks bro... i appreciate
I just think it is a nice way of saying i should pack by the landlord.... i think that is his intentions!

My landlord just delivered a letter from his lawyer notifying us of a 20% increase in rent due to sharp increase in the cost of building materials.

Nairalanders, this is a house built over 5yrs ago! am using 5yrs atleast to be fair!!!

How can cost of materials now lead to an increase in rent for a flat that wasn't just built?

Pls what do i do? should i confront him? should i write back? Paying that will amount to about 500k plus and the house isn't worth that much in a place like Bariga!

Candid advice needed

deeway200:
Is there any politician who doesn't buy vote? Say another one

Even their lord and master Buhari, during his election money was shared by his people for votes! good money! APC gave PDP a run for their money!
I saw raw display of competitive cash! and we come here to speak jargons like we all didn't experience it.... bloody hypocrite...
That guy complaining must have collected bag of rice and #1,000 and clean mouth shouting corruption!

SeriousMinded:
And you will cry there is no power or fuel and road in your area, right?

Guy,! let a assume she even paid for votes...
Every Nigerian have a right to vote for their choice!!!
Last election i collected cash and i didn't vote for anybody! That was my choice! looking back i have no regrets cos i for dey vex by now...
This is it! if she give u money, and u nor collect say u wan fulfill ur conscience, she go beat u
Its simple! those that collected needed the money and voted her in and she won! she paid a price...
Next time, if you don't want the aspirant, don't collect the money! if u dnt collect d money, d aspirant will not win, and everyone is happy!!

I wan sleep abeg

You have no point to give than to come and talk anyhow to your father's mate abi? i dont blame you....

Better don't quote me again before UTAGBA will scatter you

omenka:
This is so shameful.

Lord thank you for giving us Sahara Reporters.

Omenka shut up that your hole called a mouth!
Are you telling me this is the first time you are participating in elections? oh, cos you have a puppet called SR, you think they can do your biddings?
What is wrong with giving people rice? how do you prove that it is for election purpose on election day?
Ekiti state has a department incharge of welfare of its people/stomach infrastructure... If that's the governor's way of connecting with his people who are you to think otherwise?

Be careful before i end your career oh....

And so? what is Wrong with that
Did she tie your hand to vote? you nor get sense?
Even if she gave money out is there a law that stops politicians from dishing out cash? as far as she did not force u or intimidate/compel anyone to vote then she is good to go!
So boy, stop crying fowl, go and work and earn a living rather than coming here to cry! She spent money to get there simple! It worked for her....

chriskosherbal:
