Dnd is no match for me as i can go ghost mode for a year without my phone , tried it twice in 2020 and 2022. it ended well for me as i detached from unneccessary shmit .

so how were you able to do bank transfers ?

Took me 2 years to forgive myself: Man recounts the outcome of putting his phone on DND after losing his friend.

How do I put mine on DND ? I still find it difficult, I use an iPhone

Opmic:
My phone is currently on DND and will continue to be.

Never had life threatening emergency call, and will never have

Never say never. Ain't wishing u bad.

Several has said d same and regretted saying it

All d best though. D universe has a way of rotating and shifting tinz on tinz.

If u have a medical issue like asthma, ulcer, diabetes and any other one.

Even if u hate d world. Dont activate DND

U actually hate ur ailment, u no really wan die.

Come off it. My phone is on permanent DND, so do not attempt to call me unless it's extremely important. I can see your calls when they come in, but unless you leave a message, I'll assume there is no urgency and can choose to return it immediately or later.

The only people exempt from DND are close family and friends. Every other person should do me a message instead.

I don't understand. If they got through to you, would you bring your friend back to life?!

Why taking unnecessary guilt upon your self?!

If your friend was ill over the night, instead of spending time reaching you, why didn't they rush him to the nearest hospital?!

I still don't understand this post.

After going through this thread, I added my family members to the exception list of DND. Everyone should call who loves them enough to sacrifice their peace 😝.

What worked for you does not necessarily have to work for others.

I am team DND during sleep hour. I work so hard during the day and if I have to get any calls be it good news or otherwise, it can wait till the morning.

Like I don't understand this guy..... Y do you even forgive yourself?......the person is not in the point of death that requires you taking him to hospital........ Someone who is already dead.... Can you wake him from dead if you would have picked up the call?...... Bring another gist jare... Kini gbogbo awon ere won yi gannn?

Opmic:
Will the shop be spared if she picked ?

Am yet to also ask him that question too 😆😂

I’m not a doctor, I don’t know CPR, and I don’t have any money to give so please DND me! 🙏

you should learn first aid and CPR, it may save the life of someone you love. Lost my dad in 2009, I could have attempted the CPR if I knew it then and probably save his life. I always think of how differently things could have turned out if I know how to do CPR then.

no need for that, cash already exists

I’m truly sorry for your loss. Just to remind you that death is not something controlled by man. When someone’s time is up, it’s up. Don’t put that kind of pressure on yourself.

I know the basics of CPR and I could always call emergency services and the dispatch often talks one through how to resuscitate someone.

CPR is great if the person who needs your help is right there next to you. But if you intend to drive 5 miles to give CPR to someone who had a heart attack after receiving a call about it, then I am afraid you are probably not gonna be of help to that person.

Again, Nigerians should work really hard on setting up an emergency service that people can call directly at any time of the day, rather than expect others should set themselves up as emergency givers for their sake.

Do you ever read someone’s comment to understand them or do you only read to misunderstand them. Nowhere in that comment did they mention calls or driving. They were obviously present when their father had a heart attack and they regret not knowing CPR at that time.

He also said this happened in 2009. I find it unbelievable since I have known of CPR since the 80s in Nigeria. So, I decided to refocus my response to the main subject of the thread. I guess my particular question is, why do you have a problem with me having that freedom?

So you find it unbelievable that a person doesn’t know CPR because you knew CPR since the 80s?
Kobo, no vex! Do you and I apologise for sticking my nose in your freedom 🤣🤣🤣

You nailed it to me anyone doing that is not serious with life and risking many things

One problem I’ve noticed with many Nigerians is that we love using things without fully understanding how and when they should be used — and that often leads to misuse.

Ever since I started living alone, my phone is always on and reachable — loud ringtone, data on, and “available” status. To me, it’s common sense. If someone calls at 2am, I assume it’s an emergency.

My pastor once shared a story about a man who was kidnapped on his way from Lagos to Ibadan for a burial. The first group (going to the same burial) driving ahead of him narrowly escaped the kidnappers and kept trying to call to warn him — but his phone was on silent mode. He didn’t pick up, drove straight into danger, and was taken. Thankfully, he survived, but when he was released, he later told them that he 12 missed calls on his phone after the kidnappers surrounded and abducted him. Those calls could have saved him if only his phone hadn’t been silent.

That story stuck with me.

With the security challenges we face in this country, it’s not wise to put your phone permanently on DND or silent. Think about it —

What if there’s trouble in your neighborhood and someone’s trying to warn you?

What if a loved one has an emergency and can’t reach you?

What if a job or opportunity comes your way, but your phone is unreachable?

We live in unpredictable times, and staying reachable is more than convenience — it’s a safety measure.

Let’s be more alert and intentional. Living in Nigeria sometimes feels like living in a war zone, and awareness is one of the few defenses we have.

You can't forgive yourself? Because you are someone's GOD? You can't control death when it hits nah.

Okay, now can you talk about when DND saved your life also?
Because everything has its pros and cons .
And moreover you can't protect anyone more than God that created them.
He will always take care of us.

You can leave your phone on vibration if you know you have a sick person around or expecting an important call.

2004 my nephew was vomiting and stooling around 3am. I heard movement in the living and decided to check what was going on. It was my mum running up and down trying to find solution to my nephew worsening condition. She didn't even know that I was around that day. At that time I shuttle between school and house. After explaining the situation to me, I put a call to my doctor friend. He pick and I told him what was happening. He advised us to bring the boy to the hospital immediately. They were already waiting for us when we got to the hospital and admitted him straight. If my doctor friend's phone had been on DND or silence, my nephew would have died that night because with the worsening condition he would have survived till morning.

Glad you're nephew is recovered well....

But you wont take him to the hospital if you didn't have a doctor friend?

Flight mode before bed for me sinceeee except I'm on holiday. Im not a fire fighter, not a doctor, not the police 999 dey there .they'll be more reliable than me at that time

nice nollywood script

you owned a fire truck lmao

SnoppyG:
A few years ago, if I had put my phone on Do Not Disturb, I might have lost everything in my shop to fire or looters posing as helpers. A friend’s call at 1:30 AM woke me up, and I rushed to the market just in time to save my goods before the fire reached them.

If you are called a second time right after the first call, DND will be nullified and the second call will ring.

Please how can we work hard to set up emergency services with well paid professionals and adequate equipment, without having a well educated population?

Are we no longer the country with the highest number of children out of school? The ones who are lucky to be in school, are they not mostly in unsupervised private primary and secondary schools because our families and friends in local and state governments steal money for free education of all children?

Ratio of public to private schools in Lagos State is one to 22 ― Commissioner
September 4, 2022

The Lagos State government has said the ratio of public to private schools at both primary and secondary school levels in the state is one to 22.

The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, gave the revelation in her remark at the 2022 edition of the Total School Support Seminar Exhibition (TOSSE) held at Oregun in Ikeja between Thursday and Friday.

every class from jss 1 till university final year should have a compulsory yearly First aid/CPR Training. The person miles away should have someone nearby who can perform CPR.

There was a time we had no mobile phones or even knew such things will eventually exist and be common. Life went on then. So OP pls forgive yourself and move on. For my health's sake I turn off my phone at night. What will be will be.

not just about living in Nigeria. Things happen everywhere

Do people only die in Nigeria?

I'm always telling people about this keeping one's phone on silent too.
My brother died while my phone was on silent!

what if your family member is not able to make the call and a stranger is the only option available to reach to you and maybe save their life?

I learnt much of what I needed of performing CPR from watching movies through the 80s/90s and so on. So, I don't disagree with you on this. 🤔🤔
