Faith indeed, I'm sure those who had the downs syndrome babies were having faith too.

Look OP downs is not an easy thing to deal with, they can even come with some congenital anomalies like holes in the heart and many others requiring several surgeries. Downs isn't hereditary so the gist about no family or friend has it. Nothing stops you from being the first.

Because you heard someone miscarried 5 days after amniocentesis shouldn't make you scared (the miscarriage might even be total unrelated to the procedure), I'm sure you have heard about someone dying in an auto accident recently, if that's the case why bother risking your life going out at all? You probably have a higher chance of being hit by a bus tomorrow than having a miscarriage due to that procedure.

Nigerians and "it is not my portion syndrome". Many have died because of this carelessness. If you have downs syndrome baby with severe mental retardation its you alone that will carry the cross o, all of us here telling you have faith, "it is well" be in our houses eating akpu and nkwobi while you deal with the mess alone.

bigx: @TCD are you back in Cal? I have a friend there that can get the files for me.

I'll be there within the next day or two... You can send your friend cash to buy the flash drive, so when I meet him/her I can just get it, transfer the files then return it for onward transport to you.

For those who can't be bothered to read the long epistle let me summarize

In other words, he has been in government and civil service in many departments even becoming minister under the military regime, chopping our money left right and centre under different styles and titles, with NOTHING tangible to show as achievement.

Another useless one gone. Please go, at least we taxpayers have fed him enough. We don try.

You think you can ride government helicopters for private use at OUR expense and go scot free? Na so una go dey fall one by one like mosquito.

They just love to abuse the masses.

Why won't such a large crowd turn up, when the gate fee is free.
Who no like free enjoyment?

^^
No you can't.

Buy samsung galaxy Note, heard its possible there.

This is what happens when you buy second hand books via bend down select at Yaba.

Why won't you see stuff scribbled on it by the previous owner?

Oboy stop being stingy, buy better books for your kids.

acidtalk: So much for injustice.
I have created two different similar threads in the past.

REST abeg. Must all your threads make front page?

cupid4ig: still looking for a link for real football or real soccer

what real football? Only 2011 is availabe for PB presently and I believe it should be among those links Niiade provided.

Good suggestions everyone. More please.

I'm currently in a location in CRS where there is no 3G , going to be here for two weeks before going back to cal. Downloading will have to wait till then.

The guys in PH , things should be a bit easier, PH is close to Cal. Believe we can work something out.

^^
You're in Lagos abi? Guys in Lag can arrange to meet you and get them if they so wish and if not inconvenient for you.

bigx: Oga TCD your customers plenty o! You could get the 16GB flash drive for like 2k and add 1000 for the stress = 3000. Maybe like 2000 for courier. I think 5000 should be ok for that amount of apps o.

Lol, chief, 16GB flash drive for 2K? Where will I see that one. Last time I bought 16GB memory card I paid 7K. 2GB flash drive here costs N1,500 , I wonder about 16GB.

Add that and courier, I think it will be too expensive.

I'm in cross river . Just checked my PC, the size of the ones I have now is about 9GB. With the links chief Niiade provided, I hope to download more. Could get up to 16GB,

How is one supposed to store that for transport?

I have hundreds of apps in my PC, those I've sideloaded and those I don't need and I hope to download more from those links. I just download and keep who knows when I might need it.

I have no problems giving to anyone who needs free, problem is distance.

Lexusgs430: Oga TCD, its in Niiade's signature column. 300 sideloads to fire your remaining GB on you pb.

I think 21st post on page 37.

thanks Boss, I don see am now.

Well done Niiade, you deserve award for this o.

Guys looking for apps and games , please download it now that its available o, even if you don't need it or haven't gotten a PB yet, just download the bars and have them stored somewhere. Coz RIM can shut down those links anytime as has happend with all the previous app links we have on this thread.

cupid4ig: see the lg charger I posted above with the input and output get it, it will charge ur pb wells that's what am using.

thanks for this bro. I'll try to get my hands on it

Hey guys, how's it with you all.

This charger ish is driving me crazy. I need to get a new one asap.

My Oga Niiade, I can't see anything in that your post o where you uploaded app list. whether its coz I'm using opera mini.

Hmm, was discussing along these same lines with some colleagues of mine yesterday...

Nigerians are easily satisfied with mediocrity from our leaders. Never willing to hold them to account.

Fhemmmy: Forgive my ignorance, do you mean there are 5 - 10 women in labor at same time in the labor room or you means recovery rooms . . .

YES, 5-10 in the labour room, in labour at the same time. Its normal in most govt hospitals.

And there are many more in the labour ward, waiting to take their place.

This is the flow

Labour ward => Labour room => recovery/post natal ward.

And there many women in each of those stations.

Have you ever been in the Labour room of any government hospital ? At any given instance there is an average of 5 to 10 women all there at the same time in labour.

In the labour room there is no dress code, infact there the last thing those women care about is covering their unclothedness. They just lie ther shouting, some stark naked, other jumping up and down begging the baby to comot . Some shouting prayers, tongues, others are pushing baby out, slapping their behinds or thighs screaming doctorrrrr ooooooooooooooooooooooo, its coming! , its coming! I want to shiit! I want to poo poo ooooo !!!! etc, its like a war zone in there.

So you want the doctors to now allow you in so you can come and see the unclothedness of other people's wives? Na you pay their bride price? How would you feel your wife is stark naked in the labour room shouting and doing her business, probably with poo on her bed you're there with her, then another patient in labour is brought in and lo its your colleague in your office probably your junior office driver with his wife in labour, since he is Mr Romantic like you, he wants to be in the labour room too, so both of you stand there looking at each others naked wives soiled with feces and meconium.... Believe me your wife would not care, she would open that vagi..na wideeeee when the thing hooks her, she will even jump and hold your colleague and beg him to help her oooo. Its after she delivers shame go begin catch am.

Another thing, especially in government hospitals that are tertiary institutions, they attend to a high proportion of high risk and difficult pregnancies,. So in that labour room, doctors, residents, midwives, interns everybody is just running around from one high risk patient to another trying to do this and that, . We do not need multiple Mr Romantics standing there obstructing traffic, when you're running to move ventouse scanning machine or whatever from one bedside to another.

Bros, please stay outside, they don't need you in there. If you feel so strongly about it, you can always go to a private hospital. Most likely your wife will be alone in the labour room but for govt/teaching hospital, fogerrit.

All these long protocol just for skin? And yet dem no fresh pass me wey just dey rub vaseline for face and body.

Those that are asking for localbar, Google is your friend. Google it and you'll find the developers webpage with instructions.

For what it's worth, I think pc is better to sideload. Only used local bar when trying to install from my playbook to another playbook. You can sideloaded using your BB phone as proxy too.

There are videos on YouTube to guide you on using it.

alstacs: Mastercard from first bank. It is so easy now with app world once you register a card with all the details with them, you won't need to do that again. You can pay for anything on your playbook and smartphone. Just click on buy and your invoice is sent to you immediately.

wow, is it Naira Mastercard or dollar Mastercard?

alstacs: Name is "Book reader for EPUB and kindle Books". I tried getting a visual but couldn't upload a pix, don't know why. This reads most formats.
Isilo Reader reads .pdb formats. I paid for both but the price is negligible.

As I said I still don't have any reader that takes care of Microsoft Reader Formats.

thanks man, how did you pay for the app in appworld?

This is why defensive driving is the best.

Always assume the worst. When driving and I see an container carrying truck , loaded trucks or A petrol tanker, I just say to myself, what if I'm beside this big truck and this whole container just falls on my car. Sometimes especially on bad roads, with the overloading you'll see the cargo hold of the truck inclining to one side at close to 45 degrees almost tipping over.

I just jejely slow down, allow the truck to go or three or four vehicles overtake me and stand between me and the trailer, or just overtake as soon as possible.

Never be comfortable side by side a trailer in traffic, or following one immediately behind.

A school mate of mine's mother herself roasted to death when following a petrol tanker behind, the petrol just spilled on her car and burnt her car beyond recognition. Sad thing was she was just going home after seeing him on a visiting day.

Long Suffering is one of the fruits of the spirit

The Same Paki army that was receiving billions of dollars in Aid to find and fight Osama Bin laden for years, meanwhile he was chilling with multiple wives in one fine estate right there in their backyard.

Even the incompetence of the Nigerian Police no reach that kain level.

alstacs: For those that have books, novels and other journals in .chm, .txt format, the book reader in app world recognises the formats and reads it well. In addition, mobipocket reader formats are also recognised. This has an advantage cos you can convert all sorts of formats from pdf to Microsoft word into ebook formats with chapter annotations etc.
I got the isilo reader too and now I'm complete and I sleep and wake with my PB.

They don't seem, however, to recognise microsoft reader format, sadly.

Only issue I've now is this MTN EDGE thing. Its rather frustrating browsing with it. Through in the past 3weeks the 3G signal comes around more frequently.

Pls which book reader in app world reads chm? If I get that my life is fulfilled.

[quote author=Baba_Eleko]Thanks bros. Now, my lil sis got a BB, Airtel line, she subscribes 1200 monthly for 1+GB and still she can tether her phone to browse on PC. Bros, I pay 3k monthly and get the same service value as my sis gets. Is mine different cos it's not a BB, or is there any other hidden service that mine came with that I'm not exploiting I don't get it. If u know abeg trow me some light.[/quote]YES. Yours is different coz its Not a BB. The blackberry browser compresses a lot of data so most users won't even use up to that 1GB, not everybody tethers, this is why networks are very comfortable giving BB users unlimited data. 90% won't use anything significant.

[quote author=Baba_Eleko]Bro my question wasn't answered. The guy that tried answering only ended up telling me what I already know, how to subscribe. My question is far from that.[/quote]Your question was answered . You just want it spelt out.

This bundle is for blackberry subscribers, its airtel's BIS service which is entirely different in pricing from the other mobile plans. Airtel allows its BB subscribers to tether (I.e connect their PC's to the internet via BIS, other networks don't allow this) and as such you can use that subscription on your PC, internet modem, its also this functionality that other phones like android, nokia , iphone exploit to connect.

This service is for blackberries, BUT can work on other devices. Airtel is not cheating you or duping you. They just didn't make the service for you non-blackberry folks. So enjoy the loophole and freebie while it lasts.

philips70: I think it is different because you have to work over apple apps. Same question I asked about ipad which is just a bigger iphone. No one is yet to give me a convincing response on my last questions on if it will work with the applications or just on the safari browser. A friend of mine needs an answer to this but I will just tell him to try it since there is no harm in doing so. He can only loose 1k2 once which is somewhat negligible.

Someone already answered you that it'll work...how do you want him to "convince" you? Cut off his head? Haba.

[quote author=Baba_Eleko] I'm reposting again cos my question is not being answered!

Please help!!! Airtel charges me #3000 every month for 1.24GB on my iPhone4 but I'm reading here now that people pay btw 1200-1500 for the same data bundle that I pay 3k for. I had called Airtel customer care, they gave me a list of their data plan, I went for 1+GB. They asked me to recharge upto 3k and dial the following code *141*712*10# and this is how I have been subscribing to their data bundle every month.. Please, can someone help me here. I'm I being duped by Airtel or is iPhone package different from other smartphones?[/quote]bro, if you had calmed doewn to read through all the responses on this thread you won't be repeatedly asking this question.
