How can that be done??

There are various ways this could be done. But they would be needing information that you probably may not be able to provide, since you are not the cellphone owner. Else, it's very possible to reach out to Google or Apple, (Especially if your brother always has his location on).

However, if you know the network provider he uses, you can contact them/reach out via the police to get information on how to proceed.

One thing I know for sure is, his network provider has the location. Cos for him to make calls or send messages, his phone has to communicate with the network towers/base station, and this in turns logs in for the provider to know where the mobile user is or where they lastly used the device. Note that, he doesnt need to have his data on, for this to happen.

Congratulations John!!!

His phone is switched off

I know, but his Service Provider will have a log of the last location he used his Mobile and Date. That could help with the trace.

Buskete:
We don't know the particular transport company he used.... We last talked on Friday and Couldn't get through to him from Saturday. A cousin of ours in Accra went to his house and his stuffs were gone like he had packed.

Oh wow! And since you mentioned you checked all the manifest for all the transportation company at both location, then he probably isnt in Lagos yet. I will advise you reach out to his Mobile Service provider as earlier mentioned. Also, if your cousin could log in a complaint on their end aswel. We will trust God for his return.

I said deadline was Thursday bkos I was having a test by 10am this morning.

I've paid completely. I borrowed the remaining.

Buskete:
I'm his elder broder... The OP is my younger brother

Oh I see. Do you have anyone in Ghana, asides your brother. Maybe someone you can contact, that probably knows his whereabout.
Keep Hope Alive!

Buskete:
We have checked all the bus terminals for their manifest both for people that travelled to Lagos over the weekend both in Accra and from Port Harcourt (Abc transport, Chisco, GUO) and no luck.

Did you ask them about any delay on the road? Also do you know the exact transport he used?

Buskete:
+233 23 826 6601 That's his Ghana number...It's been offline since...

Are you same as OP? Cause this is a different Moniker.

Like someone advised, try to contact the transport company he used.

Or try to contact his service provider, so they can know the last location, he used his Mobile. But I think that would require evidence and probably police report.
It's well, and I pray he returns safely.

Nigeria can be better. We are rich enough to be better...But the cowardice of you youths is just too much. Too foolish and too docile.

Why can't you fools organise a massive protest and demand for a good life..No, cowards.

One nairaland created a unique topic "9ja has killed me or something like that"...a perfect opportunity for youths to join hands and take over their country...what did you fools do, you started begging like beggars.

Tuface attempted the same thing, but what happened, the spirit of cowardice raised its ugly head again.

Unemployment is skyrocketing, there is hunger everywhere..frustrations everywhere...95% of Ngraduates are either unemployed or underemployed...and you active youths are there behaving like goats and gambling away your futures. Pigs!

You know you can actually give your advise neatly, without name calling or insults?

Awwwwnnnnn. Op Pele.

What if he is sane and he is trying to insert some chip to read your card details and pin. You are there taking pictures. By the time you start receiving debit alert for transactions you didn't do, you will find that mad man.

Masterkolinks:
If I tell you that I've not seen the complete money, u wouldn't believe me.
I don't even know what to do again. I can't think straight.
I'm too afraid to ask online here again.
I can't even sleep.
And I must get it done before 10am today, so as to do my course reg and update my profile as a student

Oh wow! But I thought you said the deadline was yesterday 12am. How come you have until 10am again?

Also, have you paid with what you have? Can you upload a proof of payment? I believe that will also encourage people to help.

In all, dont lose your sleep! All the best!

Masterkolinks:

wunmi590:
Thankd so much for the word of encouragement.

It's a pleasure!

Eyah! Pele.

She should refire, and be sincere in her next application. She should also answer the question "Have you ever been denied a visa"? Truthfully.

I have a friend who applied 4 times before he was granted a US visa. He's on NL and I could mention him sef so you confirm.
So tell your sis not to give up, if she really wants it.


You can also refer her to this thread:

BTW, you are awake by 4am?

Oh, No worries.

What!!!! Why are you guys this heartless? Why has Humanity lost it?

How can you advise your fellow human to go and die? Is that how frustrating things have gotten? Do you know what depression is?

I dont know if the Op is sincere or not, but you went too far! You really went too far!!!

dapyd1:
For every good news on nairaland front page, there are 5 bad news and another 5 vomit inducing, depression causing, tears bringing, anger causing news.

I'm tired of commenting.

For the love of God. What else is there to say?

Just wait one hour, another terrible news from somewhere in the north, South, East or west of Nigeria will suffice.

P. S.
I've not finished typing, news of a fallen pole electrifying a 3 year old just made front page.

Is Nigeria's remote control in the hands of the devil?

As in ehn!!! My heart is Seriously troubled. The news I read these days are heart breaking.

Before, I'm always eager to catch up and read through a couple of threads that made FP. But now, I'm even afraid to do so as it makes me shiver. I just did a quick scroll through the news on FP and I couldnt even check out 5.

I mean bad things happen everywhere, but this is really too much. Like someone said, these are just the ones that are posted on the media, how about the ones that aren't?

Mehhhnnnn!!! Baba God, igbawo len bo?
May the Lord comfort and sustain the living.

May your soul find eternal rest Mojisola!

May the Lord comfort and sustain the Living.

How Knowing Just Half the Story Can Lead to a Whole Big Mess
Karen Ehman

“Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you continue in my word, you really are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” John 8:31-32 (CSB)

Do you remember your very first job? Your first bona-fide, legit employment gig, complete with a paycheck made out in your name?

Devotion Graphic
In my teens and early 20s, I performed many different tasks to earn some pocket change. I nannied children. Washed dishes. Waited tables. Answered phones. But perhaps my favorite job was when I spent two summers at a nature center teaching classes for 4-year-olds.

I learned how to identify critters in the pond, how to tell a chipmunk from a 13-line ground squirrel, and — of utmost importance — how to spot poison ivy. (Leaves of three? Then, let it be!)

My poison ivy identification skills have come in handy over the years. One time, a friend suspected they had it growing all over their shed. Upon inspection, I discovered they were right. So, her family took care to remove it, wearing long sleeves and gloves for protection.

However, she mentioned a frightening fact to me about their removal process. She said they’d burned all the ivy in a giant bonfire while they stood over it roasting marshmallows!

While my friend knew the danger of touching the ivy itself, it hadn’t occurred to her that burning the plant — emitting smoke that had the plant’s oils mingled in it — would cause a worse reaction than just touching the leaves.

Sure enough, her whole family acquired blistering rashes, especially on their faces, and their eyes became sorely bloodshot and painfully itchy. One son even developed a serious respiratory reaction. All this occurred because she only knew half the truth about poison ivy — touching it is bad. She didn’t know that burning it while standing nearby is even worse.

Just like the Jews in today’s passage, who “had believed” in Jesus, the beginning of our walk with God is only half of the story. We can’t stop there. We must continue to allow God to grow our faith.

John 8:31-32 states, “Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you continue in my word, you really are my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” Our faith’s start is crucial, but we need to know and live the rest of the story: We must keep growing in Christ, continually walking in God’s Word in a way that sets us free and keeps sin from poisoning our lives and causing a mighty — even painful — mess.

Continuing in God’s Word by knowing the truth doesn’t mean learning religious concepts in a fuzzy, partial manner. It means experiencing the actual truth of God’s Word in a totally transformational way. In fact, the original Greek word for “know” in this verse doesn’t suggest tucking away ideas in our minds. It constitutes genuine action on our part. It means to “recognize, realize and ascertain” and “to come to properly understand a truth through personal, first-hand experience.”

We do this not just by skimming the Bible, but by intentionally internalizing its truths, applying them to real-life situations and forging our faith solidly as we continually experience Jesus and His saving grace firsthand.

Like the old saying goes, we need to get into God’s Word so His Word can get into us.

Determine today to not only rely on the fact of your salvation experience without forging ahead in your faith. We need the whole truth of the gospel. Jesus saved us (past tense), but he is continually perfecting us, too (present tense) if only we will cooperate.

We can go to the source of truth, rather than just relying on assumptions and stories. And when we really know the truth — in the true biblical sense — we can live out the truth of Scripture in a way that ushers in authentic freedom.

What a glorious thought: We can know the truth. The truth sets us free. How? “If you continue in my word” (John 8:31b).

Keep on continuing.

Father, help me to not just rest on the fact of my salvation, but also to continue in Your Word through the truth-giving life You offer me through Your son. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
