The big question is, Is Nigeria ready to implement all these suggestions?

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Army, Abdullahi Mamudu, on Thursday urged the military to use modern technology to tackle the country’s security challenges. Mamudu made the call when he led members of the committee on an oversight visit at the Headquarters of the Joint Task Force (JTF) North East, Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) in Maiduguri, Borno State.

He commended the military for the effort in securing the country. He said it was the National Assembly’s responsibility to provide a budget that would enable the military to carry out its constitutional duties.


The lawmaker lauded the military personnel for their sacrifices, especially those who lost their lives during duty. The Theatre Commander, OPHK, described the committee’s visit as timely.

Shuaibu said the North-East had been the nation’s focal point in the battle against terrorism, saying the OPHK was launched to address the challenge.

Everything is just going up in Nigeria.

Interestingly, you can get cheap data from www.cosmosdata.com.ng

Any network, MTN, Airtel, GLO, 9mobile. Infact, 9mobile is the cheapest at the moment. You can find out for yourself on the platform.

Nigerian telecom operators have reiterated their request for an upward tariff revision to counterbalance the escalating expenses associated with their operations and investments in the sector.

This plea comes after 11 years, during which tariffs remained stable, despite the industry grappling with substantial rises in operational costs and investments in network expansion and upgrades.

Naija News understands telcos presently in Nigeria include MTN, Airtel, Globacom Limited, Broad-Based Communications Limited, 9Mobile, Main One Service Company Limited, and Fiberone Broadband Limited, among others.

A joint statement obtained by journalists on Thursday from the Association of Licensed Telecom Companies of Nigeria and the Association of Telecom Companies of Nigeria, highlights the need for the Federal Government to facilitate a constructive dialogue with industry stakeholders.

The aim is to tackle pricing challenges and establish a framework that balances consumers’ affordability and operators’ financial viability.

“Despite the adverse economic headwinds, the telecommunications industry remains the only industry yet to review its general service pricing framework upward in the last 11 years, primarily due to regulatory constraints.

“For a fully liberalised and deregulated sector, the current price control mechanism, which is not aligned with economic realities, threatens the industry’s sustainability and can erode investors’ confidence,” part of the statement read.

ALTON and ATCON have raised concerns regarding deliberate acts of vandalism, theft, and other obstacles hindering the sector’s progress.

They have appealed to the federal government to safeguard assets and network infrastructure and called for legislation to recognize telecommunications infrastructure as critical national infrastructure.

Naija News reports that the significance of telecommunications infrastructure in Nigeria’s national security and socioeconomic development cannot be overstated.

This is particularly crucial as the country is currently grappling with various security challenges that demand prompt and decisive action to address these threats.

The Telcos lamented that “Attacks on cell towers, fibre optic cables, and other critical assets disrupt telecommunications services and result in significant financial losses for operators.”

ALTON and ATCON have highlighted their members’ ongoing infrastructure deficits, which result in limited access to vital telecommunication services. These challenges include multiple taxation, stringent regulations, high right-of-way charges, an unreliable power supply, and vandalism of telecommunication infrastructure.

In terms of regulatory independence, ALTON and ATCON are advocating for the maintenance of an independent regulatory environment to prevent undue influence and interference in the operations of the Nigerian Communications Commission.

This will help build trust within the telecommunications sector and promote investment opportunities.

Moreover, the importance of regulatory neutrality and independence in ensuring a flourishing telecommunications industry cannot be overstated. Both groups have reiterated their dedication to collaborating with the government to tackle the obstacles hindering the growth of the telecommunications sector in Nigeria.

The associations concluded, “By fostering a conducive regulatory environment, prioritising infrastructure development, enhancing security measures, and facilitating pricing adjustments, the government can unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s telecommunications sector, driving economic growth and societal development.”

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, investments in Nigeria’s telecommunications sector dropped to $134m in 2023 from $456.8m in the same year, marking a $322m decrease.

I need to know the best brand when looking out for a quality solar rechargeable standing fan. I have checked online and seen a couple of brands and specs but the one my neighbour bought recently was not satisfactory. So I don't want to make the same mistake by just going to the market to pick any available fan.

Thank you. Didn't know it's gone up this high....was expecting 100k -150k.

SurveyorGeo:
Around 200k depending on size and location of the land

Who has an idea on the amount it costs to get a red copy registered survey in Ibadan?

Thank you

phorget:
3bedroom would be preferable, total areas not exceeding 130-140sqm.

Seeking insights from experienced builders and real estate professionals! I'm in the planning stages of constructing either a 3 bedroom or a 2 bedroom flat, and I'm curious about the potential cost implications. Could you please share your expertise on the differences in construction costs, materials, labor, and any other factors that might affect the overall expense? Your input will greatly assist me in making an informed decision. Thank you in advance for your valuable insights!

I assure you, this is one of the best pieces of information you'll come across today. There are a lot of activities that consume data.

What am I saying?

All activities done online consume data, but a few consume more, and I will be sharing them with you for free.

Wouldn't you want to know?

I am sure you would; besides, it will help preserve your data lifespan (if there is anything of the sort).

Now back to the real gist.

Here are the six (6) activities to watch out for:

1. Streaming audio or video, either on the web or through an app.
2. Downloading large files like music or videos.
3. Loading image-heavy websites.
5. Running speed tests.
6. Indirect data usage like automatic cloud backups.

I am sure you must have done more than one activity numerous times without knowing. The difference is that you now know, so it's up to you to use it wisely.

You can always get your data from CosmosData Services at http://cosmosdata.com.ng

PS: I forgot to include the fourth activity, which is "video calling." If you didn't observe that, you may want to go over it again to see what else is missing.

If you just did, then I am happy to announce to you that, well, nothing more was missing. Or better still, you can purchase your data at very affordable cost by visiting http://cosmosdata.com.ng

We will meet again

Till then, [b]"no gree for anybody," [/b]not even those online activities that steal your data at your back.

My elder brother bought a Manchester United Jersey for me with "Sharp" in front. Since then, I automatically became a Manchester United fan even though I loved Ronaldinho at Barcelona.

How did you pick the football club you support currently 🤔?

What is your take on this compilation?

I don't think Mainone is in Ibadan...not sure too.

And how much does it cost to get Mainone please?

immortalcrown:
Get Starlink or try Mainone if Mainone is available in your area.

NONTE: Based on my experience of Starlink in Lagos, Starlink fluctuates during rainfall.

Not just you. Livestream ended so many times over her too

papagiddy:
Infact..network really disturbed our service seriously today....here in Ogbomoso .. The Master’s Place International Church Ogbomoso...very frustrating honestly!!! Mtn mifi just dey vex !!!

For Church Media or any tech person,

How do you manage your church Livestream when your network is poor?

Context:
Our media team streams live on YouTube using OBS. Most times, we use Airtel router which does pretty well. Unfortunately, there are some days these Airtel will decide to misbehave. Interestingly, we have a backup mifi (MTN) but in the process of switching networks, sometimes, the YouTube Livestream will just end abruptly and it's quite frustrating. Airtel seems to be the strongest network around the church environment so we dedicated it as #1 network for streaming.

What can be done to avoid these abrupt ending of Livestream which leads to sharing different YouTube links for people to join?

Have you been able to resolve this?

I don't have a solution but I have some questions and I need your honest answer.

How good is this brand "Polaroid"?
How is the picture and sound quality?
Is it truly a smart TV?
What will be your suggestion for someone who plans buying a 32" smart Polaroid TV?

Fajeed:
Hi nairalanders please I need your help I have been using this Polaroid smart tv since last year but I’m still unable to watch Netflix it keeps saying there is an issue with your streaming device I don’t know what to do please if you’re a Polaroid tv user say something I need your help

Another image

I saw a couple of Free to Air decoders images sent to me by some vendors. I am new to FTA decoders so I asked for differences which he asked me to come to his office for more clarity. I understand that there is no time for explanation over WhatsApp chat so I decided to ask nairalanders.

adotse1:
You can get hisense or polystar new TV but if u are going for lg or Samsung it's going to be uk used

Thank you for your response

Is Polystar very good. I know Hisense is good same with LG and Samsung but Polystar seem not to be popular. I hear of new brand names now like TCL, Armani, Mewe(not sure of the spelling)...not sure of their quality.
