It is either you have taken the loan before or you planned to, it's impossible without downloading their app.
They can't just call you for no reason let be guided.

I once took a loan from them when I needed it, back two years ago, but I promptly paid it back without them even reminding me. Even if I have been a previous customer of theirs, should they be bombarding me with calls every 10 minutes?

Use Truecaller he go dey block them back to back. Because most of this numbers are already marked as Spam

Yeah, bro. I eventually had to pay for Truecaller premium.

Hello guys,

Do you normally get automated calls from any 02011XXXXXX number?

When I was using my previous phone, Infinix Smart 7 HD, I used to get like 60 of these calls from EaseMoni in a day. Sometimes it's ALEND. I think what the CBN did is to move the numbers of these loan sharks behind a 020 number. But EaseMoni has been able to bypass this.

Sad thing is they also have regular numbers beginning with 0704XXXXXXX that also call you and beg you to take a loan.

I don't know if it is by force.

The government, and especially the CBN, has to do something about it before it gets out of control.

DAramis:
What was the history about the man that made you change your mind about using his translation?

Willing to learn from you

Okay. Please go through this article.

We will discuss when you notify me that you are done reading it.

Let's not derail this section. I will create a new thread soon.

Emodeee:
Why do you want to sell it?

Mehn, sorry I never answered this question.

I bought it because I wanted to use the Yoruba version to post some verses on Facebook.

However, when I learnt of the history of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther, I wasn't sure the entire translation was 100% correct.

But I still have it sha. Anyone that needs it should whatsapp me. I can give it out for free.

The Disturbing History of Volkswagen


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDzkY2oSO50&t=317s

How did a company that exploited its own labors and make thousands of military vehicles for the Germans become one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world?

In modern day Volkswagen has become a major powerhouse, having Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Porsche under their name, but back in World War II, they were among the darkest and most criminal war factories for Germany. From being accused to stealing the design of the Beetle, to having more than 80% of their workforce being forced labors, Volkswagen could get away with anything, having been founded by a dictator and his aides themselves, it’s easy to see why.

But on the other hand, the company is also an incredible underdog success story. Once Germany was defeated and the company was left abandoned, it became an unwanted asset, not even Ford when it was offered to them for free. But even with the bleakest future, Volkswagen managed to reinvent themselves and make one of the strongest comebacks in corporate history.

So sit back and relax, because today we’re covering the controversial story of Volkswagen, starting with an unlikely figure…

How A Poor Korean Boy Created Hyundai


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khIGWWbkHPU

30 years ago, Hyundai was seen as a small Korean company that made cheap, ugly and unreliable vehicles. People even joked about the brand, saying you could double a Hyundai’s value if you filled it up with gas.
But now a days… they are among the best quality vehicles in the market, overthrowing giants like Ford, Honda and General Motors, to become the third largest producer of cars in the global market.
But what’s fascinating about this, is the man who started it all.
A farm boy, who only wanted to escape from poverty, left home as a teenager and embarked on a journey full of failures, misfortunes and embarrassments.
Despite the adversity, he went on to create the biggest company in South Korea and took over by storm not only the automobile industry, but also shipbuilding, construction and so much more, turning himself into the richest man in Korea.
This is the rags to riches story of Hyundai, and the man behind it, Chung Yu-Jung.

PulsingPurple:
Upgrading would definitely make it a bit faster.

But would the price of a 256gb SSD be worth the added speed?
I think NO.

Like you've also said, second gen too.

If it's in your power, you'll be better off with a replacement.

At least a 5th gen i5, 8gb RAM

Funny enough, my SSDs on Jumia were usually the cheapest because I used to buy them directly from the manufacturer and look out for seasonal promos when they offered huge discounts.

Adewale1603:
what I'm saying is if he wants a more noticeable difference in the speed and operations of his laptop, his best bet is to buy a new laptop with higher processor specs and even higher graphics, as upgrading this former one will not make any difference, cos It's real bottleneck is the old processor it's tied down with and it's integrated intel HD graphics 3000 on it's same CPU die chip, upgrading ram and HDD won't make any noticeably improvements.

He doesn't need a new laptop.

Adewale1603:
we know desktops are faster in speed than a mobile laptop, so you can't compare a desktop to a laptop. . the guy is talking about laptop upgrade not desktop, laptops are not that easily upgradeable because the bottleneck is the processor, graphics and CPU cores, so getting a laptop with many cores and
dedicated graphics will make a great difference

They are both the same. It just depends on their configurations.

An Intel Core2Duo 3.2GHz (4GB RAM) desktop CPU and an intel Core2Duo 3.2 GHz laptop (4GB RAM) both functioned the same, barring any differences in their video card configurations.

An Intel Core i3 (3-gen) with 4GB RAM desktop CPU and an intel Core i3 (3rd gen) laptop with 4GB RAM both functioned the same.

Back in the day, the single thing that was used to determine processor speed was the GHz number, like 2.0, 2.4, 3.0, 3.2, etc.
The advances in today's technology has made things noticeably complex for today's generation, with the never-ending gens, instead of simply focusing on the GHz speed.

As an aside here, In 2012, I bought a new HP 650 notebook PC that is still working today. Asides the cosmetic blurs, it works like new. All I have had to do was change the battery every two years and the keyboard, which I used to buy from Toplink Communications in Ikeja. A replacement original battery then was 4500, but it is around 16,000 now because of market forces. I have also used an HP Probook for my transcription work that served me very well.

And it is not just HP. There is Dell Vostro, IBM Thinkpad, Lenovo, Toshiba, Fujitsu-Siemens. I even once used our very own Zinox in my final year in the university that served me for 6 years or more.

The power consumption of a desktop is not the same with a laptop, and the CPU cores and clock frequency are way higher in desktops than laptops

Yes, the power consumption is more, but it is worth it. Nowadays that it seems light has improved everywhere in Lagos, it should not be a problem. A UPS will also help for times of unexpected loss of power, so you can safely save your work and shut down properly without losing what you were doing. Don't get me wrong, I am not asking anyone to buy a desktop. A laptop obviously, being mobile, dare I say, is even better. I guess it's just a thing of preference.

the guy is talking about laptop upgrade not desktop, laptops are not that easily upgradeable because the bottleneck is the processor, graphics and CPU cores, so getting a laptop with many cores and dedicated graphics will make a great difference

It sounds like you just want him to patronise you so you can milk him off.

Most new or expensive london-used laptops that they sell today in Otigba have poor build designs, even with their i5 and i7 and 8th gen ati gbo gbo e. An example is the Bang & Olufsen series of HP Elitebooks. The build quality is so subpar that there is no noticable area in the trackpad where you can left-click or right-click. The whole trackpad is flat, and so you wouldn't know when your finger accidentally taps an area of the trackpad that you didn't want to.

It is true that laptops are not easily upgradable, but most well-built laptops back in the day had an easy way to get to the RAM slot, the HDD compartment, the CMOS battery, the Wi-Fi module, the main battery, the keyboard, etc. Whenever there is a fault in any of these parts of the laptop, they could be replaced, as they sold the parts in Otigba then. And then, when you take apart a laptop, you usually can change many things that are not working, and so on.

Forget what they are producing nowadays with in-built batteries and hidden RAM and HDD slots. It's all a plot to get you to buy the next gen that is released when you don't really need to.

Computer Village has really changed and moved with the times. Most shops now sell 1 million Naira iPhones or 800,000 Samsung Galaxy
"S25" or if they are selling laptops, it's these i5 and i7 7th and 8th and next-gen that may not be very good. You may still get a good, old i3 or i5 or i7 laptop, but it would be one of the early generations like 2-gen or 3-gen. However, most are just moved with the latest thing and don't really value the genius in the minds of the designers of the early-gen laptops. Anyway, let me stop here.

Adewale1603:
this your current configuration should still be moderately fast enough, upgrading it further will not make that much noticeable difference or improvement, there is not much difference in upgrading 4gb ram to 8gb ram nor 128gb SSD to 256gb SSD since your laptop processor still remains the same 2nd generation. What you need to have a more faster and powerful laptop is to swap that one and buy a new laptop with more recent generation like a core i5 7th or 8th generation or core i7, 6th generation, 8gb ram and SSD storage type

Why are you talking from both sides of your mouth?

PulsingPurple:
The OP placed emphasis on faster speed in a way...

Normally in this economy, anything that works it worth keeping 😏.

But this your PC, you sure say you no dey use am for watching movies only? 😅

Yes, I know. But a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz (max Windows 7) and a Core2Duo, Dual Core 3.0 GHz (max Windows 10) also have very fast speeds. Along with the processor, a vital component that affects speed is the RAM and SSD.

More RAM equals less hog when running applications, and an increased SSD, although not necessary, can help if the 128GB is getting full.

I use my Core2Duo for heavy video editing, graphics design with Adobe CS4 Suite (Photoshop and Illustrator), CorelDraw, GIMP, and so much more.

If you want to be deceived by i3 or i5 or i7 and the never ending gens, you can go ahead.

I just gave my advice based on my own experience.

I should state though that mine is not a laptop. It's a complete desktop system with keyboard and mouse, the way I used it ever since I was in SS2, when our family bought our first computer with Windows XP and we used to buy pirated CDs from Ikeja. Pros will remember Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, the failed Windows Vista, Windows 7, and on and on.

Windows 8.1 today is still very reliable, although not officially supported by Microsoft. But if you're careful and you continuously update Windows Defender, you should be fine.

My present CPU was bought from Ikeja for 15,000, monitor 5,000, keyboard and mouse 1500. Altogether, I don't think I spent more than 25k, from where those guys that sell US-used desktops normally stay.

Unfortunately, they have purchased that place and chased them all away, and I don't know where they have moved to.

But Computer Village is vast and you might see it in a random place if you have strength to walk around. Not many people sell those US-Used desktops.

Thundafireseun:
Why ??

Because I refuse to be bullied by kids in a faceless forum?

Not that. Your behaviour is extremely toxic even though this is a faceless forum.

Thundafireseun:
Lol 😆…

Seun and his foooooooolish mods blocked my previous account for one full year because one kid called Yarimo insulted me 1st oooo …

When I retaliated I was banned for one year

I think you should be banned permanently from Nairaland and from using the internet.

Thundafireseun:
Beware of Access bank

Beware of Access bank ….. cho Cho cho because you have 2 million or even less in both accounts

Did your money miss ??
Was your money stolen/ removed without your permission??

Mstheeeeeeew…..

All you described above are all laxities from employees which happens every day and every time….

All you truly need is a pat on your back

First of all, what did Seun do to you that you are wishing him a thunder strike?

Answer this first before I reply your other questions.

Mercedes-Benz is one of the oldest and most luxurious car companies in the world, worth around 80 billion dollars. But being among the most desired and expensive cars today, it’s easy to forget its early humble beginnings.
It all started with a poor engineer, who faced many doubts, hates and failures in his pursuit of building the first horseless carriage. In spite of that, he proved everyone wrong and turned his small venture into the world's first and biggest production car company during the 1890s and early 1900s.
But what started as an inspiring success story, took a surprisingly dark turn, when the company profited from supplying military vehicles to the Nazis under the works of forced labors.
So well, sit back and relax, today we’ll be covering the insane story of Mercedes-Benz, and the man who brought automobiles to life, Karl Benz.

VeryWickedBro:
Being constantly chased by dogs is a sign that you are destined to be a thief

False.

It could be a sign that you belong to Jesus Christ.

Evil spirits can enter dogs and make them act strangely when they see someone who they suspect the Lord Jesus Christ would save in the future.
