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?

Hezzyluv:
That no stop me from putting my phone silent or on plane mode if I want to sleep. I can't have hectic day and still can't rest well for 2morrow's work because of phone call.

CLRF:

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.

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

Never had life threatening emergency call, and will never have

Fuckyoumod:
hmmm life is not a one way traffic.

DND can end your life and put you in real danger. Ask me how?

I will never try it.

Godfullsam:
My phone automatically switches off by 11 pm in the night and turn on by 5 am the following morning.

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

Vijuchoco:
Hmmmm... I understand you though, but I don't like distractions when I want to rest or sleep, so my phone is either on DND or switched off..

I hope and pray nothing bad happens anyway

Double0h7:
I’m not a doctor, I don’t know CPR, and I don’t have any money to give so please DND me! 🙏

lol 😂 na because of people like u we go continue to dey dey on DND you go just call person out of the bluess abii na dem dey drop contact for your logistics 😂🤏

Successlane:
Yeah, nobody prays anything bad happens, but unforseen emergencies can come up at any odd hour -and YOU or any other close person might be in danger. A stitch in time could saves nine.

Silentgroper:
I think you can receive messages on DND.. My phone automatically goes on Night mode around 12 which in turn switches on DND. I think one can always set it up for certain numbers/ contact to bypass DND .. Cause some contact like my mom call dey always enter if my phone is on DND or so .. BTW, if that person is not a doctor, what would calling her change about the sick person ..

Irupetepete:
dey use sense reply now ....read before you reply most times.... naturally, you can put your phone on DND when you didn't order or not expecting anyone...but why will you pick up your phone,order for things online then leave the phone on DND? Does it make any sense to you?
