Why American rice? Why not Nigerian rice, if at all there should be rice? This is so so unpatriotic.

BE A RESPONSIBLE DATA USER, AVOID CHEATS AND TWEAKS

Often times due to the insatiable desire of human beings, we usually look out for avenues to satisfy our appetite or meet our demands desperately even if it means going into dubious and shady adventures provided our needs are met. We equally don’t care whether we infringe, trample, tampered or stepped on other peoples’ idea and copywrited materials to achieving our desperate desires, we often see those illegal ventures and avenues as loopholes to pay back on those who in one way or the other we consider ripping us off unjustly, without minding the stress these people, institutions, enterprises and firms underwent before coming out bright in the provision of their services.

Now due to the lack of responsible attitudes of most of our youths today particularly as it relates to internet subscription and data usage in Nigeria, coupled with the high cost to maintaining data enabled devices especially devices powered by Google’s Android operating system, Apple’s iOS, Windows OS and the new BB10 OS, including USB Modems and other data machines and devices, our youths have now resorted to either tweaking the imei of their devices, or create cheats and work on loopholes as may be discovered on the various telecoms platform to use a service that was not designed for their devices. Irrespective on which angle we may want to argue this point, it is a criminal act and I call on everyone involved in such criminality to please stop doing it right away. You may never be caught in the eyes of the law, but should your conscience be alive as a human being, you quite know that what you are doing is wrong and obviously it is a crime.

In Nigeria today, we all usually screamed to the rooftops shouting ‘government is corrupt’ ‘government is corrupt’, whereas we as an individual are more corrupt than the government officials we are screaming at. To control, stop and tame corruption and corrupt practices in Nigeria, every one of us must see ourselves as stake holders in the fight and struggle to eliminate corruption in our midst. We must start to be involved in responsible ventures worthy of emulation so that we don’t continue in sowing bad seeds in our young ones and expect to achieve a corruption-free Nigeria in the near future.

[b]The various internet and data service providers in Nigeria are offering their services in commensurate measures as set by the regulatory agency (NCC), and coupled with the prevailing circumstances, unfriendly and harsh business environment in Nigeria, these operators one way or the offer their services rather on the high side, putting into consideration what it takes to provide such a service to an individual or entity. Although I am not supporting the high tariff offered Nigerians on the internet platforms, but I am sure their hands are tied in this regard.

For example, a competent source confides in me sometimes ago that the regulatory agency NCC, threatened to sanction Glo Mobile Nigeria, for offering a 350MB data volume at N1,000 to their HSI data subscribers should they fail to review it downward. And true to the information as was passed to me, Glo Mobile today has reviewed that data subscription plan, as they now offer 300MB data volume for N1,000 as against the initial 350MB that was available earlier. NCC, rather than our various data service providers are to be held responsible for the high cost of internet services in Nigeria. Our aggression should be directed at them and not at our service providers because they work under regulations set by the NCC.[/b]

From the foregoing therefore, instead of you buying a device which is data hungry,expensive to maintain and amounting to heavy data drainage on use, which invariably may cause you to be tempted by venturing into irresponsible acts and breaking normal operating system to use illegally to achieving your aims and desire, why not go for OS devices that have been designed and customised for cheap data consumption and services in meeting your crave for unending high data demands? Here, the older Blackberry OS comes to play. You are involved in tweaking your imei in order to use the normal Blackberry internet services on your Android OS. Why not rather buy any Blackberry OS lower than BB10 and use the cheaper subscription meant for such services? To be responsible means to use platforms as it is meant to be used.

Moreover, there are cheaper Android, iOS, Windows and other services data subscription available today on the various mobile networks in Nigeria, all thanks to SME data subscription offered by third parties who usually buy data in bulk from the various service providers, and yours truly is one of them selling a legal third party data subscriptions to Nigerians.

Bro,
First, I do not encourage any form of cheating. But I want to put it to you that some of the bolded may either be assumptions, or outright lies.
You mean to say NCC wants glo to fall? How can we buy mtn 4.5GB for N2,500, and resellers sell 1GB for N1,200, and you come to say NCC forced glo to sell 300mb instead of 350mb for N1,000? Who are you working for?
Why didn't NCC shut down visafone for selling 1terrabytes of data for N1,000?
Pls always get your facts right.
I didn't really see you condemning these companies for cheating Nigerians. Sometimes they make users subscribe for services unknowingly: These days, instead of letting you subscribe for something, you just see a pop-up on your screen, n if u mistakenly press any botton other than 'cancel', u are in for a useless pocket drain. NCC didn't force them to stop that?

abiolag:
*556# show my balance of 73.8
*559# show d Goodybag

Enjoy it bro.

abiolag:
i just loaded and activate d Goodybag and d msg is dat MTN Enhanced Googybag will expire on 19/june/2015
Did I got it wrong?

check your balance with *556# and tell me the result.

abiolag:
does dis last for a month or a week?

one month

omoteamac:
please can you confirm the below statements for me?

1.on mtn gb,the main and the bonus account last for a MONTH

Ans: yes. But I think the main account lasts as long as, not just one month.

2.to check the main balance, i should dial *556#...

Ans No you check balance with *559# or *559*2# or *559*4# or send 8 or 7 to 131

3.Can the amount in the main account be shared or transfered?

Ans No unless if you load and extra you can transfer. Once you subscribe, mtn takes the money from your 'live' account ie, the balance you can view with *556#

4.if i subscribe twice for gb1000,does that mean my balance(main and bonus) will be doubled i.e 2000 and 3000 resp..? .

Ans No the second one will not activate until the first is exhausted, they'll inform you if you still have GB balance and try subscribing again.

I take my time to say THANK YOU

You're welcome my brother. Tell me when you are successful about that.

onatisi:
you are a very very good teacher .

Lol! Thanks for that compliment.

fulfillment22:
Trust me, I don't know which word to describe you, very excellent. These people have been chopping my money since. I used mtn biz plus @ s#1000 per week. I really appreciate you, sir. Please do I need to migrate from my current plan (mtn biz plus) to enjoy goodybag or I should just dial GB1000 once I'm ready to subscribe straight caway?

Just load N1,000 and send GB1000 to 131 as text message. Let me know how you faired.

fulfillment22:
Thanks guy, you made perfect sense, please explain this: once I subscribe for #1000, and given bonus of #1500 as u said, if I make call to mtn, is it from the bonus they will deduct? Also, if I make calls to other network, is it from the main balance or the bonus they will deduct? Also, calls to other network are charged at what rate? Is there any daily charge or usage that I must reach?

Do reply by quoting me back or mail me : godfulfillmentict@gmail.com or whatsapp me 08063

Thanks

@ fulfillment22,
I tried to be as explicit as i could amidst my schedules.
Yes, you load N1,000 and subscribe and mtn gives you N2,500 (N1,000 main and N1,500 bonus).
Initially, if you make calls to mtn, you are charged from bonus, untill N1,500 exhausts, then they now charge from the N1,000 main.
Initially also, calls to other networks are charged from the N1,000.
To elaborate, after a successful subscription, if you make a 10mins call to an mtn no. and another 10mins call to glo; you balance becomes N940 main account and N1,260 on bonus account.
I hope I made an attempt at my clarifications. Feel free to ask further questions.


No rentals required.

SWG1:
I would gladly quote u anywhere!
The 750 goodbag seems to be cheaper on the long run But since the bonus account last for a week, then Gb 1000 surpasses Wat u get from other package or network. Nice analysis, well-done.

For cheap data bundles on various network, see my signature.

You are right if N1,950 is awarded for N750 because it would be a bonus of N1,200, which is 160% of the initial recharge.
But for the N1,000, since N1,500 is awarded as bonus, which is 150% of the initial recharge of N1,000. The N1,000 is better for me though.

FredHandsome:
Assuming I recharged N2000 and out of this, decides to buy the GB bundle, and then buys N1200 data plan, wd I still be billed at 10k/sec on d remaining N800 main account?

Bro, once you buy GB100, your live balance depletes to N1,000, and thus wouldn't let you subscribe for the N1,200.

odbambo:
mtn Goddy bag bundle is d best, just load 750 and send GB750 to 131, the 750 ll b deducted and u ll b given 1950naira and make calls at 10k/sec to other networks and 40k/secs to mtn networks on the bonus given and there after 10k/sec to mtn networks also after u ve exhausts d bonus. l make calls a lot but ever since I ve ban doing ds, I use it for a week saving mi almost 2000 naira weekly

This is the best deal so far.
Let me analyse it further for you guys.
I use N1,000 GB. With this, I am given extra N1,500 bonus+N1,000 main account.
The N1,000 is for calls to all networks, including mtn. But while the N1,500 lasts, it is exclusively for MTN calls while other networks chop from the N1,000, untill the N1,500 bonus is exhausted, then all calls will be made from the N1,000, or what is left of it.
For the bonus of N1,500, mtn charges 40k/sec. At this rate, you'll have access to a total of 3,750 seconds (62.5 mins) for MTN calls on the bonus account.
For the N1,000, you are charged 10k/sec; which translates to 10,000 seconds (166.7 mins) to all networks.
So, Assuming I make only mtn calls all thru, then I would have access to 229 minutes (62.5+166.7) of call time for just N1,000, which may average out to N4.36k/minute, or 7.27k/sec.
Since I discovered this, that is what I use to make calls like I am richer than I actually am.
My brother uses the zone stuff, but the problem I have with it is that some times it is extremely cheap, but some other time s it is not. So, you have to wait to catch when it is cheap. Me I no fit defer some important urgent calls sometimes.

MTN Goodybag is the cheapest for now. For the N1,000, you send gb1000 to 131, and the bonus lasts for 1 month. As it stands now, my Goodybag validity is till June 8, 2015.

No hidden charges, no conditioning you to make 10seconds call first, just straight on. Even without the bonus, you are still good at 10k/sec, which others can't even beat, not to talk of a whole lot of 62.5minutes of talk time to mtn calls. Nothing beats this as at 18th February, 2015 (11.02am). Quote me anywhere.
