Ose, not sure if you still have access to this but I sent you an email.

Sorry to digress a little but if I buy an airtime from a phone vendor and I didn't use it even though I had recharged it,would the network operator still make their profit?

Digressing is necessary in some cases. To your question, the answer is yes. The first profit (Gross Ads) has been made already. So whether or not you use the airtime, the network has recorded its gross additions through the sale of recharge card which you bought. When you start using the airtime, the network makes what we call Incremental Gross Ads.

Secondly does the charging rate of on and off net calls translate to cash revenue for telecom service providers?

Yes. Rates, regardless whether or not they terminate from your home provider translates cash revenue.

Lastly do you have an idea why ncc halt MTN from free night calls but other operators like 9mobile still do?

Not sure about 9mobile's free midnight calls though but one of the major reasons responsible for 'disruption' of near free services is to curb 'unfair' practices and give every telco operator a level playing field.

Another reason is protection of communications services and facilities providers from the misuse of market power or anticompetitive and unfair practices by other service or facilities providers.

This is why services such as 'unlimited calls', 'unlimited browsing', 'free midnight calls, etc, are curbed and fought against. Allowing these services would better favour the originating service provider, particularly if others cannot provide something similar.

Wrong. Joshua is a powerful puncher. Size and body build can be inconsequential most of the time in a boxing bout especially if your opponent is skillful. Tyson is 5'10 but he beat much taller and bulkier opponents in the course of his career.

And mind you, Joshua is trying to lose weight. But I don't suppose it is a good idea to pack too much muscles. Muscles are extra baggage and if Joshua fails to knock down his opponent in the early rounds, he may have to rely on decisions or be lucky to connect his signature right uppercut well. But truthfully, these sets of heavyweights, including Joshua, are the worst I have seen in years of watching boxing.

Almost all heavy weight boxers are packed with powerful punches. The emboldened is wrong because you might not be considered to move into the heavy weight class if you cannot attain over 200 pounds. There is a reason it is called HEAVYWEIGHT. Note I did not say a thing about height but body build? No matter how skillful you are, you would go down if you get hit by a heavyweight most importantly if your size and body body is next to nothing. A fast heavyweight boxer is a killer anytime, anyday. This is one of the reasons the world is dying to see Deontay Leon match AJ in the ring.

Boxing isn't about the fight again but the money. It has been greatly polluted.

This is a myth that has been busted. The video is on YouTube, I believe.

Shukusheka:
The sooner he realizes he is a boxer and not a bodybuilder the better it will be for him. One of the reason he gases out too early in boxing rounds is because he is carrying to much execessive weight which is killing his stamina.

He is in the heavy weight division and not some banterweight. I believe his stamina is okay, particularly knowing he hardly goes down in a fight save in the clash against Klitschko. We should not rule out his speed as well which he has very much used to his advantage.

A compilation of his wins on YouTube reveals his size and body build has been one of the reasons he takes down his opponents almost effortlessly.

It is near impossible to 'calculate' and find a PIN that works for several reasons;

1. Cycling and recycling of PINs: Recycled PINs are common with recharge cards. However, the recycled ones are regenerated and put back into the market. The recycling could dip far back as 4-5 years ago and it would be difficult for anyone to hang on to an old recharge card used five years ago just because you want to get a freebie. Expired recharge cards are also recycled into the trade.

2. Activation: You could correctly guess the 16 digits on a recharge card (which would be a rare sight if not impossible). Interestingly, new recharge cards cannot be used until they are activated for use. In a layman's term, you cannot use a recharge card if a certain department within your network's company choose not to recognise the cards as active. Therefore, if you ever become lucky enough to guess the PIN properly, the possibility that it is inactive or idle is still much in play, not forgetting the possibility that your guessed PIN might have been used just some microseconds before found the last digit.

pastorcyrus:
He must have exaggerated the whole thing but the truth of the matter is that southern women are more promiscuous than their northern counterpart,married women sleeping around here in the southern part of the country is no more seen as a taboo.Only but very few married women can swear to never have done this type of wickedness.notwithstanding, northern women are still promiscuous but their married women aren't rotten like ours here in the southern.

Sharia law stiffle females in the North but fails to curb rape and minors, more often than not are at the receiving end.

Isn't it interesting that prostitution still thrives in the North despite Sharia's influence?

greatermax77:
What baffles me much in this country is, our military & Police were trained like animals & we still expect them to respect us & behave in a civilized manner, after uncivilized training.

IT IS THE SAME THING WITH THE AMERICAN TRAINING. Ours is even better. That of the USA is worse. They send new recruits into chilly waters almost naked for hours.

No true military personnel is grilled with soft hands.

Bede2u:
Am tired of this argument. The three regions of Nigerians functioned as seperate countries with power of self determination prior to 1967 when gowon abolished the regions.

Self determination was giving to the province of south cameroon in 1961 by the eastern region without seeking permission from federal govt.

Did you just tell a lie as huge as the emboldened on a public forum

Bede2u:
I wont argue with u on catalonia again. 1st of all catalonia and Biafra are not similar in formation. Quebec, and Biafra are.
2nd. Catalonia is one ethnic group. Biafra, quebec, pakistan and south sudan arent.
3rdly. Catalonia is a long time part of spain. Quebec and canda, biafra and Nigeria, sudan and south sudan are all new creations of colonialism.

Catalonia will no be my focus in this discourse but Quebec, south sudan and pakistan. Align with your strength and argue it out there.

Now that I have cleared your Quebec mess, perhaps it is high time you compared yourselves with Mali.

Bede2u:
why do u keep skipping Quebec. Why are u hell bent on catalonia...which i insist is a gray area. Quebec and eastern nigeria came to be tru the same exact process and as at today, they occupy a national status in canada. And no they are not all one ethnic group. Not even one race. U may get a canadian visa, but u still might need a special permission to go to Quebec while in canada. How about them and us? Is there an ethnic group called Quebec?

Quebec remains a part of Canada and bears no resemblance with your Biafran madness.

1. For starters, the name Quebec was chosen by Samuel de Chaplain, a French Explorer. How is it related to the Eastern region?

2. SdC chose Quebec as the French Post for France new colony, while the Brits chose Lagos, a then province in the Western region as the British Post/administrative seat. How then is Quebec related to the old Eastern region?

3. Arthur Richards divided Nigeria into three regions with little provinces springing from them. It is during this time that the Eastern region was birthed just as other region. Whereas, a Royal proclamation founded Quebec.

Quebec today is a French speaking territory within Canada and there are many factors to consider in the case of Quebec as against what you guys know;

1. Quebec is already like a foreign country with its own language, culture and civil law. The French in Quebec do not like the English.

2. Canada as a country is now bilingual due to a large French population in Quebec. This endeavour was also supposed to strengthen and French language and Quebec heritage in the Canadian lifestyle. Quebec maintains special laws and acts to restrict the use of English in their province while the rest of Canada spend millions on French language training, bilingual government access and bilingual packaging for industry. If any other province were to create a law to restrict French in their respective province, all hell would break loose.


Note: Quebec's call for secession is because they trace their origin to France. They well believe they are not English and have no business with them. Hence their call for separation. Like I mentioned earlier, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS FROM? HOW ARE YOU RELATED TO QUEBEC? HOW IS THE DISCOURSE OF CATALONIA A 'GREY AREA'? WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OR SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE EASTERN PART OF NIGERIA AND QUEBEC AS A PROVINCE WITH DISTINCT CULTURAL VALUES FROM THE REST OF CANADA

Bede2u:
First of all the article u quoted was obviously a catalan propaganda. 2ndly Catalans have been a part of spain and speak spanish longer than Igbos have been a part of Nigeria. 3rdly, there were Igbo kingdoms too. The Arochukwu empire which included modern day Abia and parts of Imo, Ebonyi, Rivers, cross rivers and Akwaibom. The Nri Empire which includes all of Enugu and Anambra and parts of Delta, Imo and Ebonyi. The 2 empires either directly ruled these territories or influence these territories tru trade and culture. The british conquared these 2 empires and united them into southern protectorate and later carved them out as Eastern region.
4thly the eastern region formed by the British had official autonomy and functioned as a nation. It was in 1954 that it attained self rule and authonomy. Compare that with 1953 for northern region.
5thly. You interestingly left Quebec and other examples I gave which a closely related to Eastern Nigeria, to emphasise on catalonia an obviously grey area. Wow.
South Sudan..what of it?
6th. Nigeria is not a Nigerian word so what do u mean Biafra is not an Igbo word? Are Igbos the only tribe in the autonomous Old Eastern Region Nigeria whose govt declared independence in 1967?

Oga, those who have their nose to the ground knows that Catalonia existed as an entity before they were captured by Spain and forced to lose their sovereignty.

By the way, that piece there is published by the Telegraph in the UK. Why would it then be a propaganda outlet when it is not Igberetv news?

Senegal was colonised by the French, but then, does it mean Senegal never existed before it was colonised? Your answer perfectly links to that of Catalonia and Spain.

Catalonians don't speak Spanish, rather they speak Catalan, a language which evolved from VULGAR LATIN. Despite being colonised by Spain, they still hang on to their language till date. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish.

SPANISH language speakers might have a hard time understanding Catalan because they are not the same.

You clearly no next to nothing about Catalonia and Spain, yet you never stop comparing it to Biafra. Isn't it funny?

Now before you give me the Arochukwu nonsense, you might need to save me the stress by talking about the origins of the Igbos. Yorubas, Hausas, Edos, Urhobos all know their origins and align with it. If you would talk about Arochukwu or whatever it is, then you should do well to talk about your origin; how your people came to be. That way, we would have a better understanding of Biafra and perhaps do you the honour of comparing yourselves to Catalonia.

PS: Quebec isn't my focus in this discourse but Catalonia. Align with your strength and argue it out there.

leezzz:
u ppl keep saying ojukwu declared biafra but keep on forgetting dat d same way civil servants pushed gowon to ignore aburi accord was d same way ndigbo were angry about d killings by northerners
ojukwu own worse sef cuz declaration or not d igbos were ready to fight d northerners
even murtala acknowledged dat d war was inevitable

The Aburi Accord failed because the talks favoured one side than the other. 'We people' don't have anything against Ojukwu for fighting for his people (which clearly, he wasn't), rather for leading his people to a slaughter house after claiming he was battle ready with a horrible grin as he stroked his beard. I believe I have uploaded the video to YouTube already.

He could have surrendered the moment supplies where cut off but no, he insisted because he had stashed food away for his immediate family while asking others to fight on empty stomachs.

'We people' have issues with you guys because the man responsible for your deaths fled with his children to a neighbouring country while millions of your people died. In the end, he returned a better Nigerian and proved that the deaths were for nothing.

'We people' believe you guys are stupiid not to see the clearer picture. It is only a matter of time again.

Bede2u:
Actually most did. There was never a Catalan Republic in history....it was Aragon, and not the geography of the current Catalonia. Quebec was created EXACTLY the same way Eastern Region (which became Biafra) was created. There never existed a Kurdistan Nation in history. The kurds (just like the Igbos) are an ethnic group scathered in different middle eastern country through colonisation. They want to come together and form a country.

I will overlook that u called me a tout

You really need to stop arguing about what you don't know. The North of Catalonia was ceded to France after Spain shared Catalonia with France over a table discussion.

Before then, Catalonia existed in its own as a state and not as a settlement which you described or claimed.

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/does-catalonia-want-independence-spain/amp/

Wikipedia is also there to assist build your next argument.

Bede2u:
When u are giving facts u start throwing childish tantrums

Neither Catalonia, Easter Region Nigeria nor Quebec were soverign before being colonised as part of their current countries. All three merely constituted settlements. Catalans are an ethnic group who called their territory Catalonia. They later became part of Aragon. The area was conquared by both France and Spain. Only the people in the spanish boundry are asking for independence. So the 3 regions are alike. Quebec and Catalonia (whose agitation you apparently find legitimate) also for may centuries has existed as a part of their current country. Catalonia has been part of spain for more than 500 years. Quebec which was created by Europeans have been part of Canada for more than 200 years. Eastern region is the youngest of all at just a little less than a century (1939-2017)

When we ask you guys to get some knowledge, one would think it is an attempt at ridiculing your points.

The history of Catalonia


Catalonia was an independent region of the Iberian Peninsula – modern day Spain and Portugal – with its own language, laws and customs.

In 1150, the marriage of Petronilia, Queen of Aragon and Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona formed a dynasty leaving their son to inherit all territories concerning the region of Aragon and Catalonia.

This lasted until the reign of King Philip V. The War of the Spanish Succession ended with the defeat of Valencia in 1707, of Catalonia in 1714, and finally with the last of the islands in 1715 – resulting in the birth of modern-day Spain.

Subsequent kings tried to impose the Spanish language and laws on the region, but they abandoned their attempts in 1931 and restored the Generalitat (the national Catalan government).

General Francisco Franco, however, set out to destroy Catalan separatism and with his victory at the Battle of Ebro in 1938 he took control of the region, killing 3,500 people and forcing many more into exile.

The region was granted a degree of autonomy once more in 1977, when democracy returned to the country.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/does-catalonia-want-independence-spain/

With the issue of Catalonia settled, you should know you are not even in the same rank with her. Biafra in itself was never an Igbo word and is not till date.

The Eastern region functioned as one of the many parts of the old design which got the country going. There was the Western Region, the Mid-western region, the Northern Region, the Middle Belt region and the Eastern Region. Interestingly, none of these regions were autonomous.

It is sad that an Internet user in this modern day and time would describe the old Catalonia as a mere settlement. This is 2018 and it is way too early to brandish ignorance in this manner.

Bede2u:
The Southern Nigeria Protectorate was formed in 1900 as a seperate country from north and by 1914 British colonial rule had established most of the administrative divisions in the Southern Nigeria Protectorate. In 1939, the Southern Province was divided into the Western and Eastern Province because of the two major tribes- Igbo and yoruba. During the 2nd world war period, the provinces were given more power due to shortage of personnel, including powers to recruit their own provincial Army. The provinces basically functioned as seperate countries till 1963 Republican constitution.

All the regions I mentioned were created the same way southern (later eastern and western) Nigeria province was created- by colonial powers. They were also lumped into their current Nations either by willingly joining (Qubec and Eastern Nigeria), or by colonisation (Ireland and the others)

Eastern Nigeria became Biafra in 1967

I saw this coming. It is every IPOB calendar in the East. It is interesting that you recalled some past events but then failed to point out the main things.

My question is

1. Was Biafra a sovereign territory compared to Catalonia before it was lumped to be a part of Nigeria? The old Eastern region existed as a part of Nigeria before the late prick declared Biafra in 1967. So then, what are you saying?

Bede2u:
shut up....Qubec, catalonia, kurdistan, palestine and western sahara have all been fighting for self determination in their own different ways now for decades... same with biafra. U feel its the same group fighting for all these while in these different agitations? Why are u mad at the new pro Biafra group?

Successful self determination fights in recent times include Irish republic, south sudan, eritrea and the nations of the former soviet union.

Self determination fights are hard to win and takes long time....but not impossible and doesnt go on forever

The regions you mentioned existed before they were lumped into their present countries. Catalan, for example, existed as a sovereign territory before it was conquered and lumped to being a part of Spain.

Now when you compare yourself to them, you give an impression that Biafra had long existed before it was beaten into subjection, which is false. Biafra never existed, particularly with the Igbos as a sovereign state. So then, what is the noise about?

Self determination in itself isn't a sin or a problem. But knowing that those claiming they want Biafra are never united makes it all the more interesting.

kernel505:
Is unfortunate that people just keep promoting lies, I wouldn't know why. Look well, the cows are outside the square, not inside. That's why you're seeing roads,not inside the compound.

First, for those who know Okpara Square, is not open for grazing one. Two, I passed through that same spot couple of days ago, is locked.

They are ALWAYS inside most times.

Jochabed:
Honestly, it will take God,but Nigeria is not in order. The cows are owned by individuals not the government,why then will these killer herdsmen bring them to a private space? I really don't know but these herdsmen gained so much confidence when President Buhari came into power.

The cows in Okpara Square are owned by the governor of Enugu state. It is known to most people.

Okpara Square is just a few metres away from the governor's office and the level of confidence those cows and their tenders have gathered over time is disturbing. They could force vehicles to a standstill when they want to, regardless of what the traffic light says at that time.

postmann:
Not all protestant practice the first fruit offering. Catholics in general don't practice first fruit offering. Morever, first fruit offering ought to be January salary or income, marking the first fruit of the year, i.e. for those that practice it.

Quite true and I agree with the latter part of your post.

However, I might be that of increase since a handful of people experience pay rise and other bonuses during December. It could have been any kind of First fruit offering.

pocohantas:
Naso. So, why do they give it?
Is it not for the windows of heaven to open and shower them with blessings...? ?

I'm still waiting for you to point out the off point.

Why they give it rests with teachings of the Scriptures. It is deeply rooted in faith and those who practice it believe it works for them.

Your off points as mentioned were

1. Assuming their home isn't smooth. Hence, women as the OP's wife would always find it easier to listen to pastors or priests. I find it rather conclusive, owing to the fact the OP never mentioned anything as such.

2. Assuming that she is without a child yet. Hence, the reason for giving.

My point is, this is a marital issue at hand and every comment here might just end up fuelling discord between the OP and the wife. One cannot be too careful.

amani63:
unknown gender you can't cook bro

Okay, sir.

pocohantas:
What exactly is the off point in that post?

Which FIRST FRUIT, did she just start working?

I can't believe you just asked if she just started working. For someone who was able to analyse the situation at hand but cannot understand that there are different types of First fruits.

There is the first fruit of increase, if addition, of the first born, among so many others.

First fruits are not tied to problems in one's life as you assumed.

postmann:
Your first error is your inability to bring your wife under the canopy of your spiritual fortress where you're her first priest. Had you done that, she wouldn't be a Catholic and you an RCCG member.

I thought same. He must have married her with the condition that he would allow her practice her religion since he could not be convinced to let go of his.

Regardless, Catholic, Protestants all align with First fruits.

pocohantas:
I dare say, I am yet to see any happily married woman:
I mean one who loves, respects and listens to her husband, while he reciprocates, doing extreme things for pastors.

The most unhappy married women are found in the church. They are the easiest to brainwash. They see things in their pastors that they wish to see in their husbands, they automatically give him the respect that should be given to their husbands. The pastors on their part are trained to listen, something most husbands don't do. So, she pours out her mind to him.

If they are not praying and sowing seeds against sidechics, it's for a child, against troublesome in-laws, for their husband's love, their husband/children's progress...etc.

They won't stop, a miracle must happen in this 2018.

You have a way of going off points with most of your assertions which is rather amusing.

I'd rather not comment on the marital issue at hand because it is fused with religion.

What the OP's wife did is called FIRST FRUIT giving. Interestingly, it is a culture among many Christians and silently pronounced than tithe in itself. It might not necessarily be tied to the many off points you highlighted in your post.

Are those unripe Plantains and Yams soaked in detergents

So soldiers have turned bloggers now. Choi! You troll someone and then make the screenshots
