PhonesEtisalat Subscribers To Enjoy Triple Data With Easyflex by techmandy(op): 9:26pm On Apr 16, 2016
Etisalat Nigeria has introduced “Easyflex Evolution” a tailor-made plan that offers customers amazing data bundles and as much as three times value on their talk time.

The offering is in the spirit of the company’s commitment to constantly give value to its customers, by offering them convenient plans, affordable tariff structures and quality services that enhance customers’ personal and business endeavours.



The “Easyflex Evolution” package comes in two variants, namely the “Data+” plan which offers data bundle & talk time and the “Voice+” plans which offers up to 3 times value on talk time with a data plan. Etisalat subscribers can also make international calls and SMS on both variants.

Chief marketing officer, Etisalat Nigeria, Francesco Angelone, speaking on the launch of the EasyFlex Evolution, said the company’s goal was to continue to offer our customers innovative products and services that speak directly to their needs.

“We want to assure all our customers that we will continue to pursue our brand vision of providing unique solutions that connect people to limitless opportunities,” he said.

Angelone explained that the EasyFlex package had gone through a series of reformulations in Etisalat’s resolve to provide cutting edge services and added value to its customers. He added that Etisalat customers could purchase any of the Easyflex Voice+ or Data+ bundles by dialing the USSD code *320#.

To add an exciting twist to the launch, a sensational advertising television commercial entitled the ‘Evolution’ was released. This TVC features Nollywood Actress, Genevieve Nnaji and British-Nigerian Actor, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, both Etisalat ambassadors.

PhonesHow To Get Airtel 4GB Data For N1500 With Free N2,600 – Works On All Devices by techmandy(op): 10:57am On Apr 12, 2016
There is nothing strange about what you are about to read, the only strange thing is the requirement involved. Airtel network is fast in almost all location and it sucks in some location. Everybody wants cheaper internet subscription, unfortunately, what you have maybe too heavy a burden for you to bear. The truth is, you can get Airtel 4GB for N1,500 or 6GB for N2,500 only if you follow the rules of thumb.



The only requirement here is for you to get a new Airtel SIM. Old sim will never work with this. New sim works because you are on ‘Welcome to Airtel’ package which offers 5 times value on every recharge to new, prepaid customers on the network.
How can I get Airtel 4GB for N1,500 & 6GB for N2,500?

Once your new Airtel SIM is active, load N1,500 using this code * 555* pin#, you’ll be given bonus of N2,600 to call Airtel to Airtel + Free 1GB. Your N1,500 will still be intact and untouched; you can then subscribe for 3GB by dialing * 440* 16#.6GB For N2,500

Load your airtime using the code *555*pin# and you’ll also receive the bonus attached (1GB + 500MB)+ free N3,900 to call Airtel to Airtel lines. Dial * 437* 1# and 4.5GB will be given to you. Summing it up to 6GB.

Does the bonus Airtime of N2600 + data expire?

Yes, it expires (14 days duration).

Will it work on my device?

Yes, it works on all devices.


Remember, only new Airtel SIMS are eligible for this offer. The tariff on this plan is same as smartCONNET.

ComputersMtn Says They Will Not Pay The Fin And Operation In Nigeria Will Not Be Affected by techmandy(op): 10:59pm On Jan 01, 2016
ALTHOUGH it had failed to pay the N780 billion fined by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) as at December 31, 2015, MTN Nigeria yesterday assured it does not envisage any disruption in its services in the country.


Besides, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) also stated yesterday that because of the court case filed by MTN Nigeria and its own counter motion, the two court cases supercede the deadline.

MTN, in response to The Guardian enquiry on the next line of action considering the deadline of yesterday, notwithstanding the court case, the telecommunications firm through its Public Relations and Protocol Manager, Funso Aina, responded, saying: “but as you know, when a case is in court, there is a limit to the comment that could be made, suffice it to say that based on the lis pendens rule (pending legal action) all parties are enjoined to restrain from taking further action until the matter is finally determined. This is consistent with previous judicial decisions in Nigeria.

“Notwithstanding the lawsuit, we will continue to engage with the Nigerian Authorities to try and ensure an amicable resolution in the best interests of the company, its stakeholders and the Nigerian authorities.
Ads by Buzzeff

“We urge our customers not to panic as we do not envisage any disruption to our operations.”

MTN as at September 2015, controls 42 per cent market share and enjoys the services of 62.5 million subscribers in Nigeria, the largest of the Group.”

The question is what is giving MTN the boldness to disrespect a direct order from NCC?
Science/TechnologyNegative Effects Of Technology On Our World. by techmandy(op): 5:52pm On Jan 01, 2016
By now we should all have set our goals for the year 2016, but to achieve these goals one need to be careful his time management to avoid technology from jeopardizing his plans.
The impact of technology on our social, mental, physical and environmental health can be devastating if we don’t keep ourselves in check. There’s no denying the benefits we have gained from technological advancements, but as with all things in life moderation is key. Being aware of the harmful aspects of the overuse of electronics will help you avoid any unnecessary pitfalls. We have also compiled a list of reading material that delves deeper into this relatively new area of study.

Here are 25 negative effects technology can have:

1. Isolation
Social isolation is characterized by a lack of contact with other people in normal daily living, such as, the workplace, with friends and in social activities. We isolate ourselves by walking around in our own little world, listening to our iPods or staring at the screen of the latest mobile device even when we are around other people. Studies have shown that people who are socially isolated will live shorter lives.
2. Lack of Social Skills
The use of online social media outlets causes us to meet face-to-face with much less frequency resulting in a lack of much needed social skills. We lose the ability to read body language and social cues in other people.
3. Obesity
The more time people are spending engrossed in video games, talking to friends online and watching funny cat videos on YouTube, they are spending less time being active or exercising. Also the likelihood of mindlessly eating unhealthy food increases as people are hypnotized by the latest episode of Honey Boo Boo.
4. Depression
Technology creates the perfect recipe for depression with the lack of human contact, overeating and lack of exercise. There is a reason the use of antidepressants are on the rise and the blame can’t be completely dumped on the pharmaceutical companies. They aren’t carting people into the doctor’s office and force feeding them the pills. This isn’t to say that depression isn’t a real problem, but some people could cure their depression by living a healthier lifestyle.
5. Poor Sleep Habits
Some of the negative effects of technology can be linked to the effect it has on sleep habits. We get sucked into online activities that keep us up too late and the constant stream of information can make it difficult to turn off our brains. Also, the ambient glow from screens can affect the release of melatonin, the sleep chemical. Keeping technology out of the bedroom would be a very healthy habit to acquire.
6. Pollution
With the rapid-changing world of electronics and technology, the turnover rate for upgrades is staggering. This constant stream of out with the old, in with the new is adding to the levels of toxicity in our air and land. E-waste is not always disposed of properly, causing deadly chemicals to leach into the ground. Plants that manufacture the electronics are emitting toxic fumes into the air. Plus there is little to no regulations on the disposal of personal E-waste.
7. Increased Bullying
The use of technology has caused an increase in bullying and escalated the degree of severity. Kids are no longer able to escape their tormentors once they reach the safety of their own homes. Bullies infiltrate the security of their victims’ homes through online avenues. It is also easier to get more kids involved in bullying because people are more likely to say things online that they wouldn’t say in person. The increase in cyber-bullying has also led to an increase in teen suicides.
8. Lack of Privacy
The internet has stripped the world of privacy. Long gone are the days of having an unlisted telephone number and staying offline to keep your information safe from prying eyes. With a few flicks on a keyboard the average person can find anyone’s address and contact information. For those with more sinister intentions, the use of phishing, viruses and hacking helps to find any information they wish to obtain. Plus, people have no sense of privacy online. They don’t think twice about tweeting every move they make, freely giving out their location on Google Map and putting their entire life story on Facebook.
9. Higher Level of Deceit
On the flip side of having no privacy, people use the internet to deceive others. Most people don’t dig too deeply when doing a search on someone to check them out. By creating a few false profiles, people are able to pretend to be whomever they want. People are being “catfished” on dating sites. Hell, you could be talking to someone on the FBI’s top ten most wanted list and not realize it until you see them getting arrested on the news.
10. Warped Sense of Reality
Using the internet as an escape from real life is very easy to do. In real life you only speak to a few people each day, there’s no Photoshop or avatar for the reflection in your mirror, bills must be paid and saying smartass things is frowned upon. However, online you are a freaking rock star! You have enough “friends” to form a small country, you look great in your pics or you have a kickass avatar, plus you get rewards or points for saying clever things (more if the clever thing is also mean-spirited). Unfortunately we must live in the real world whether we like it or not.
11. Stress
Constantly being “plugged in” and “connected” causes an extra layer of stress that wasn’t present before the overuse of technology.
12. Blackberry/iPhone Thumb
Tendonitis in the thumb, a.k.a. Blackberry/iPhone Thumb, is a form of repetitive strain injury caused by the frequent use of thumbs to press buttons on mobile devices. The same injury can also be obtained from playing too many video games.
13. Lack of Social Boundaries
Much in the same way that people over share on social media sites, there is an increasing tendency to cross social boundaries. Cyber stalking someone or sending unsolicited nude photos are examples of grossly crossing social boundaries.
14. Lack of Sexual Boundaries
Exposure to sexual content is more likely to happen at a much younger age. Before the internet the only chance a child had of being exposed to pornography was if their dad didn’t hide his Playboy magazine well enough. Now, well, let’s just say you pray your filters are doing their job when your kid searches for “Puss and Donkey” from Shrek.

Sexting is also a concern with technology being used at such a young age. There is no way in hell a girl would have taken a nude photo of herself and handed it to a guy before the popularity of texting. Yet, using your phone to snap a quick boob shot and texting it to your boyfriend seems to be no big deal. If you wouldn’t print the picture out and hand it to the guy, then you shouldn’t text it. And guys — girls do not want pictures of your penis. So stop sending them.
15. Lack of Social Bonds
Creating a lasting bond with other people requires face-to-face interaction. The more we isolate ourselves with technology the fewer bonds we will form. People are expected to do more work at home which takes away time they would be spending with their families. Also, younger people prefer communicating online versus face-to-face. When people are in the same room and communicating via text or instant messaging instead of speaking to each other, there’s a problem.
16. Constant Distraction
When we are focused on a device instead of what’s going on around us we miss a great deal. Think of the number of times you have been texting or talking to a friend and missed the opportunity to flirt with the hot guy standing beside you. There is also a rise in the number of injuries incurred by people texting while walking.
17. Neck and Head Pain
Constantly looking down at devices can cause neck pain and over time will cause the neck to lose its natural curve. Eyestrain can also cause headaches, blurred vision and migraines.
18. Shortened Attention Span
The use of social media has shortened our attention span from 12 minutes to 5 minutes. Constant news feeds, getting information in 140 characters and videos that are 10 minutes or less has literally rewired our brains. People who are online an average of 5 hours a day have trouble remembering people’s names, forget pots on the stove and even their own birthday.
19. Addiction
People are not only dependent on technology they are also addicted to it. Studies have shown that when cell phones are taken away subjects heard or felt fathom vibrations, continuously reached for phones that weren’t there and became fidgety and restless. These are some of the same withdrawal symptoms you would expect from doing drugs.
20. Lack of Empathy
The constant stream of violent scenes on video games, TV, movies and YouTube causes people to become desensitized to destruction of any kind. The normalizing of bad things happening and the culture of narcissism created by social media creates a society of people who lack empathy. When people stop caring, the world goes to hell in a hand basket.
21. More Violence
After people lose empathy and are accustomed to violence, it becomes the social norm. Teenage girls are videoing themselves violently beating another girl; the number of school shootings are rising and videos of people attacking homeless people are a few examples of violent behavior caused by media.
22. Higher Energy Consumption
Although individual devices are becoming more energy efficient, the increased overall use is causing a higher consumption of energy. People don’t turn their devices off; they keep computers on or plugged in, mobile devices charging and televisions plugged in. Also manufacturing all of these high tech toys causes an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
23. Developmental Issues in Children
Children are using more technology now than they have ever used in the past. All of the negative effects that social media and television is having on adults are far greater when it comes to the developing minds of children. There is no way to know what long term effect technology will have on our children because this is the first generation to have unlimited access.
24. Neurosis
Technology causes people to suffer from mental and emotional disturbances, such as anxiety, phobias and delusions, which are all symptoms of neurosis. Being convinced you’re very ill after looking up strange diseases on WebMD or thinking you are famous because you have had a viral video are a couple of ways technology neurosis manifests itself.
25. Loss of Hearing and Eyesight
Using headphones and ear buds can cause people to lose their hearing over time. Likewise, straining your eyes looking at computer and device screens can cause people to need glasses much earlier in life.

Be more mindful of the time you spend using technology. If you have longer conversations with Siri than you do with real people, it’s probably time to put the phone down. Force yourself to have an electronic-free day or weekend. When you go on vacation, don’t take your phone or at least put it on “do not disturb”. Creating balance will help you enjoy the benefits of technology without becoming a mindless internet zombie.

Share with your friends to help them in this year 2016.

Using headphones and ear buds can cause people to lose their hearing over time. Likewise, straining your eyes looking at computer and device screens can cause people to need glasses much earlier in life.

Be more mindful of the time you spend using technology. If you have longer conversations with Siri than you do with real people, it’s probably time to put the phone down. Force yourself to have an electronic-free day or weekend. When you go on vacation, don’t take your phone or at least put it on “do not disturb”. Creating balance will help you enjoy the benefits of technology without becoming a mindless internet zombie.

Science/TechnologyNow Is Your Last Chance To See Comet Catalina In Your Lifetime by techmandy(op): 4:21pm On Dec 29, 2015
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i didnt see any thread thst deals with discoveries
Over the next few weeks, one of the most beautiful comets we’ve ever discovered, Comet Catalina, will pass by Earth in what’s expected to be its first and only visit to the inner Solar System. More info below...

And while its closest flyby for those in the Northern Hemisphere will be on 17 January 2016, you might want to stash some binoculars in your bag on New Year’s Day - on 1 January, Comet Catalina is expected to move within 0.4 degrees (less than the apparent width of the Moon) of Arcturus - one of the brightest stars in the sky. If ever there were a ridiculous space photography moment, this is it.

Whenever you choose to look up, just make sure you’ve got some help. Comet Catalina should be pretty bright, and against really dark skies you might be able to spot it with the naked eye, but it’s best to be prepared and take some binoculars or a little telescope with you on your skywatching trip.

The best time to spot it will be late at night on 17 January, when it’ll be about 100,000,000 kilometres away. That sounds like a whole lot, but that’s actually pretty close for a comet. Once it hits its closest point, it’ll draw away from Earth, becoming increasingly hard to see, so make that your deadline!

Oh and bad news for our Southern Hemisphere readers - if you haven't seen Comet Catalina this year already, it's too late now. Better hop on a plane quick-smart!

As astronomer Phil Plait says over at Slate, what makes this comet so special is that because of a trick of perspective, Comet Catalina looks like it’s got two tails pointing in different directions.

One’s made from gas and the other from dust, and because of the angle from which those in the Northern Hemisphere will be viewing it, it looks like tail is shooting out in front of it and one behind. Have your cameras ready!

The other really cool thing is where Catalina has been for the past several million years. Plait explains:

"Catalina is coming from very deep space, probably out in the Oort cloud - the vast repository of icy bodies far, far beyond the orbit of Neptune. Its orbit may have originally been millions of years long!

But something gave it a kick - perhaps a star that passed a couple of light years away a million years ago, or the tides from the galaxy itself - and dropped it toward the Sun. This kick also gave it a teeny bit more energy, just enough added speed that it achieved escape velocity. That means it has enough energy to escape from the Sun altogether, and is on its way out of the Solar System forever (this is technically called a hyperbolic orbit)."

So don’t let this one go - you’ve got one shot this month, and then it’s gone forever. Get your cameras, binoculars, and telescopes ready, and if New Year’s Day is becoming all too stressful because you don’t know what to do when with whom, just tell everyone you’re spending it with Comet Catalina and make sure you see this with a friend or family.
