If youve not used your line in 90 days (3 months) it goes into suspension stage and in 180 days, the line is terminated and subsequently recycled (resold). So in your case, its no longer your line. Ncc regulations, i know of etisalat adhering to this but other networks i dont know, my glo was almost tossed too at a point in time...
Jobyruz:
there was this sim card I bought some few years back when it was first introduced you know how expensive it was then,I lost it 3years ago and never bothered to retrieve It just yesterday I was going through some old stuff when I bumped into the phone number.I dialed it hoping to hear the unreachable stuff but to my dismay and rude shock it was a thick man voice that I heard cursing me and treating me on my property when I confronted him.I think I am beginning to like that sim again that was what brought about the topic.do I have a chance?

Ehen! You just talked now. Point is, MTK is affordable Qualcomm. Milo is affordable Titus. Dano is affordable Peak milk. Gingerbread is affordable Shortbread. The MTK is designed to bring android experience to low end users/market. Nobody is comparing the iPhone chipset with the MTK.
lool... nice analogy. im not comparing mtk with iphone chipsets but it will take a solid mind to shell out that much for this device. Trust me i work everyday with devices like this and the high specs may not necessarily translate to great user experience. will they bring a new UI or stick to their custom third party launchers, and for the fact that this is a mtk device and lots of viable alternatives are less than that or slightly close to the range, Dont you think its an overkill??

You don't like MTK and you're on an MTK thread. You're also mouth from a far. No performance. You think someone with an iPhone had time bashing MTK threads on Nairaland? Unless the fellow is a broke iOS user. Please, shift. See you comparing tecno with infinix, when did infinix start the game? Ehn! You're the one that used your money to play sure bet with infinix. As far as I'm concerned, Infinix is still learning how to play the game Tecno is already winning. You should keep your biased iOS opinions to your iOS threads biko!
at least infinix got their OTA game better than Tecno. So an iPhone user is not supposed to air his view on mtk threads. you have a big complex issues my friend. whats the diff in infinix and tecno (a six months validity device), which silly winning is Tecno winning. 19,500 is not such an issue for me thankfully, so u can keep your opinions to your game tickets.

this bullshit phones with high paper specs and wack real life performance. octa core deca-core shitnizz, theyre only as good as from far. 70k for tecno, i wld rather buy a brand new iPhone 5c as a second phone and flex on the remaining change. 5s sef na that range e dey now.

made the silly mistake of buying the hottest infinix hot2 as a side phone to accomodate my other sim and was so unimpressed. was wondering how jumia managed to deliver it in two days. currently im looking towards discarding it after just two days. it is useless and poor looking so i can imagine how tecno would look like.

Sometimes we Nigerians just rant on needless issues not neccessarily applicable to our system..

Issues like nfc, lte bla bla bla

I havent seen a flagship owner with extra batteries. And yes i know a lot of them (my business). In the era of wireless charging and ulmighty powerbank retailers. Point 1 may not be valid.

2 32gb is a pretty decent storage for the above average user when a census will show most people below the 8gb storage sd cards.. Tbh unless ure a techiee or heavy gamer, 32gb should be enough..
U can also purchase the 64gb version too..

Cloud Storage should be the major concern with respect to how costly our dat sub is, but it doesnt work over there
Its hard copying aesthetics from one oem to another.. Like Craven said,The thinner the phone gets, some components have to give way, in a not so distant future, i fear our sim slots will be deemed taking too much real estate in the hardware. Expect the next generation S series and Note series to be much better. But the s6 edge is a damn cute phone.

PoliticsRe: How Jonathan Transformed The Refineries.... Setting The Record Straight by threadstone(m): 1:03am On Aug 03, 2015
barcanista:
Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday to all. I am so glad to be writing on a very important subject that is generating unnecessary controversy powered by supporters of the ruling party. To cut the story short, this article is to set the record straight and counter the distortion of facts by a pro-APC poster on this thread Jonathan's Government And The Refineries, Lest We Forget.

1. The Situation/Capacity of Our 4 Refineries Before Jonathan:
To appreciate where we are we need to cast our mind where we were. Let's see the refining
capacities between of our 4 Refineries between 2001 and 2010.

PORTHARCOURT REFINERIES:
In 2001, it operated at 60.73 percent, 52.17 (2002), 41.88% (2003), 31.04 percent (2004), 42.18 percent (2005), 50.26 percent (2006), 24.87 percent (2007), 17.84 percent (2008), 9.08 percent (2009), and 9.17 percent (2010), averaging 34 percent in ten years.

***Jonathan Inherited PHCR at 9.17% capacity***

KADUNA REFINERY:
Kaduna refinery operated at 31.39 percent capacity utilisation in 2001, 34.95 percent (2002), 15.96 percent (2003), 26 percent (2004), 33.08 percent
(2005), 8.34 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 19.56 percent (2008); 20.02 percent (2009), and 20.46 percent (2010). On average, in the ten years, the
Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical complex attained capacity utilisation of 20.97 percent.

***Jonathan Inherited KDRPC at 20.46% capacity***

WARRI REFINERY (WARPC)
Warri refinery operated at 48.29 percent in 2001, 55.53 percent (2002), 14.27 percent (2003), 9.10 percent (2004), 54.85 percent (2005), 3.85 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 38.52 percent (2008), 43.01 percent (2009), and 43.36 percent (2010), averaging 31 percent between 2001 and 2010.

***Jonathan Inherited WARPC at 43.36% capacity***
www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-case-for-increasing-refining-capacity/105378/

Nigeria's Refining Capacity During GEJ Era:
May 2013: Portharcourt Refinery (66%)Kaduna Refinery (65%), and Warri (63%)
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Thursday, announced an improvement in Nigeria’s refining capacity, declaring that domestic refining of Premium Motor Spirits, PMS, at the country’s three refineries has increased to 10.23 million litres per day.

He disclosed that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company is currently running at 65 percent installed capacity, while the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company is producing at 63 per cent and the Port Harcourt Refining and Petrochemical Company at 66 per cent of installed capacity.

“Infact, these refineries have been running consistently for over three months now.”
www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/nigerias-refineries-now-producing-10m-litresday-of-fuel-nnpc/

Before that statement was made, the then Minister of Petroleum Mrs Alison Madueke had stated in March that early turn around maintenance was already ongoing while the MAIN TAM that was expected to yield the 90% projected capacity was expected to commence later that year.

"Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year. The TAM and rehabilitation work for Kaduna and Warri refineries are intended to follow in quarter four of this year and quarter one of next year respectively,”

“Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year.
www.sunnewsonline.com/new/tam-fg-begins-work-on-port-harcourt-refinery-next-month/

Nobody or Group disputed the position of the NNPC. So who was responsible for the improvement to 64% working capacity of our combined refineries in May 2013? JONATHAN of course

October 2014: Turn Around Maintenance Began For The Optiman Performace of Our Refineries (80%):
While the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries were built by two Japanese firms - Chioda and JGC, the Warri Refinery was built by Snapcogetti of Italy.

According to The Coordinator, Corporate Planning and Strategy, of the NNPC, Dr. Tim Okon when SAIPEM eventually came, it offered to maintain Port Harcourt Refineries at $550 million, Kaduna Refineries at $600 million and Warri Refinery at $180 million.

Okon said the bills were unacceptable to them because they were too high despite the fact that the figures were eventually reviewed downwards. He said the high bills prompted NNPC to send some of their engineers to the builders abroad to learn the repair processes with a view to saving costs.

Following this move, Okon said NNPC began to spend as low as N10 million to maintain the refineries every month as from October 2014. Following this
development, he said the four refineries would roar back to life and produce in optimum capacity from the first quarter of 2016.

***The Testimony/revelation was made on March 05, 2015***

The Transformational Result By GEJ's Effort
On the 10th of June, the GMD NNPC came out to make the following statements..

“We are taking the refineries unit by unit and carrying out turnaround maintenance on them. So in other words, the maintenance are being carried out on the run and we started a couple of months ago.

“Most of the refineries have advanced to a certain stage where they will be able to operate very soon.
For example, the Port Harcourt refinery, which has reached an advanced stage, will start receiving crude by end of this month and then of course will start contributing to the available products in the country.”
www.punchng.com/news/pharcourt-refinery-to-commence-operations-in-july-nnpc-gmd/

I hope this is satisfactory enough? I hope the APC fans will emulate Buhari by giving credit to whom it is due?
Did i hear you say. 10.23 million litres was refined locally everyday and yet the govt pays subsidy for 35-40 million litres daily.. Ultimately it means that we have been consuming close to 50 million litres abi.. Abeg who no dey chop food cos people don dey drink oil o??
