Africa and mediocrity.

Built a fly-over, a necessity for easy traffic flow.

And people are jubilating in friggin 2018.

SMH.


Hi Mofe72,

I hope you’re fine. I want to apologize for everything that has happened thus far. I’m sorry I couldn’t see things from your own perspective then. I’m also sorry for saying you gave a pick me vibe. I can be rigid sometimes because of my principles. I’m sorry. Regarding Adaeze and any other area in your life, I would never do anything to jeopardize your happiness. I didn’t know how to move from speaking to someone everyday to not. I was jealous when she came into the picture. After reflecting, it’s never romantic to begin with but I still didn’t have a right to be jealous. Mofe, I’m sorry for the emotional turmoil you must have been in talking to me or calling me a friend. It’s easy for me to ask you not to reach out because I couldn’t. I’m sorry from 2020. I had no way to reach you, hence this place. The little time we spent as friends will always be part of my fondest memories. You might never see this but someday in the future if you ever get to, I was deeply sorry. I’m sorry Mofe. I hope someday when you hear the name Victoria, it won’t be negative thoughts that pops up. I’m sorry. Even though you never get to see this, please know that I was genuinely sorry. I wish you the best. Viicfuntop

I believe a customer representative has the ability to send you a message.


Engineers won't have time sending you such message unless the engineer in question knows you personally.




Thank you PAystack. You have been very helpful. I’ll be reporting this incident to NITDA. Enjoy the rest of your evening ☺️

Well... It's doesn't look like an error to me

I doubt Glo will ever make such error since messages via that medium is usually automated unless you had a conversation with a representative and they send you a customized message.

It seems intentional but I'm not sure there's much you can do.

You can try tagging them on social media like Twitter and complain to them what happened.

If you try calling them to explain it's same customer reps who's going to pick the phone and they won't be able to do much but tel you it's a mistake.


Wait


Second look at it, it does look like a mistake and some sort of error.


I can see the message before the dummy dummy text was kind of incomplete due to some errors or something... That one usually happens... It's not new for service providers to send incomplete text


What's new is then using Dummy Dummy as placeholder for error response wink



Thank you so so much for your response 🥺🥺🥺. I have been worried sick about it. I believe it’s intentional. I have never received a cryptic (the #######) message from them before and the dummy dummy confirmed it. I believe you have something programming knowledge as I have seen. Is this something a software engineer is capable of doing or a customer representative. Thank you so much 🥺


Actually I am allowed to escalate to NITDa. This is basically unlawful processing of customer’s data

Alright.

Thank you. I am just worried about my data in the wrong hands.
I would be grateful if you reply.
So I have been using Globacom for 3 years. Over the last one year, I have had a back and forth with Globacom regarding some issues from their own end. I have had to involve NCC multiple times in the past for my complaint to be resolve. Last Wednesday, my number was restricted from making calls. I wasn’t too bothered about it until last Friday. I decided to send an official mail to globacom as I was unable to even make a call to them.

I copied NCC in the mail stating the issue. In summary I told them they had no right to bar/restrict my line without a prior notification. This particular customer representative replied my mail directly to NCC (As in Dear NCC instead of Dear Viicfuntop). The rep directed NCC to advise me to recharge my line as I had low airtime. I was confident the restriction message was not because of low airtime. I went on to buy airtime just to be sure and I waited for two hours before trying to call out.
The restriction was was still there. I took a screenshot and attached it to my next mail with NCC still in company and this particular customer rep again told ncc to advise me to recharge my line. At this point, I was pissed. I sent another mail to the mail showing them that i had more than enough credit to call for three hours. I attached another evidence but I didn’t get a reply. Another representative replied me on Sunday. My nin is not properly linked to my number.
Last year, most of the telecom companies sent out a ussd code for linking individual’s NIN to their number. I didn't know mine was not Linked properly. It’s doesn’t justify the restriction though.


This is where I need your opinion. On Saturday, I received a cryptic message from globacom sms thread but I didn’t take it serious. Around 1:00 AM today, from globacom’s sms thread, I was called a dummy twice and i was migrated to another plan. I found it weird. In the three years I have been using globacom, I have never received any message that was not official. If I didn’t have this issue with globacom, I wouldn’t take ITV serious. My friend who’s a software engineer said it might be a mistake from the engineer. Apparently when software engineers are testing a new product, they use dummy as a term but the engineer probably forgot to toggle something off
Another friend on the other side who is a network engineer said it’s impossible for globacom to make such mistake. Worse case scenario, they use test test or another phrase. It’s highly unlikely that Will happen. He said the dummy statement might be an insult from the customer representative that attended to me initially. Engineers never talk to customer but I don’t think a customer care representative will have the technical expertise to modify a text from the sms thread to a customer.

I’m conflicted between these two opinions. It’s too coincidental to be ignored. Eventually if my other friend was right, then that’s data breach from globacom. We have a new update to our data protection law in Nigeria. This person literally has my data in their database. I checked with five other glo customer users. No one received the cryptic message and the dummy statement if indeed it was a software engineering mistake from their end.
I have attached evidence for your peruse. Thank you. Is it indeed an error?

Apologies for the long read. I just want to know if it is worth escalating. Thank you.

Hey guys. If you're interested in learning cyber security or hacking , hmu. let's tow the path together.
I have got the road map, gotten from experienced senior analysts.
I just started few days ago and I thought it could be awesome if I create a group and we learn together. We can share ideas, links to download resources and other things that can enable the development of our learning.

Note. This is not for those that will start asking "how can we hack Facebook and Instagram".

This is the roadmap
Networking fundamentals ( This is very essential and compulsory)
Google dorking
Linux (Compulsory)
Python, c#, c++ ( You can chose only python if you want)
Bash scripting
HTB, to test your knowledge
And other stuff.

Then, you can choose which field you want to follow. It can either you be in a red or a blue team.

So for me they aren't different. I ko sure say I fit chop these "creepers" as you call them. It's social and cultural conditioning that makes us eat what we eat.

She blurred her face and that of her kid’s but she didn’t see any reason to do that to the attendants or passerby. In one of the post, a man is actually covering his face so he doesn’t appear in her picture. I know why I said she must be from the southeast. The women only see their children. Not other people.

This morning I decided to create time to hangout with OUR kids because they will be going to grandma's place for the holidays.

So I decided to take them to chicken republic first to get food,my kids loves food.

Then we proceeded to ShopRite mall to pick one or two things.

After then we headed to cartege cinema which has a gameville and we presented our already funded card and have mad fun.


We really enjoyed ourselves.
Zino used her card to pay for all we bought....the beautiful thing is that dem get their own cards.

And get access to the pins.




So you can hide the face of your kids but you didn’t think it’s necessary to apply that to the people serving your needs. I believe you’re from the south east

In one week, Sanwoolu has;

- Visited more churches, computer village, Balogun market than he has done in 4years.
- Ordered all LASTMA operatives to cease arrests and stand down.
- Released all impounded vehicles awaiting auction
- Release unpaid Pensions and Gratuity
-Opened Apongbon bridge
- Unban Okada Ban
-Pay pension and gratuity, and increase Govt staff salaries..

If you give him your one vote after showing you shege for 4 years, heaven will judge you and you will not stop suffering because you don't even need a prophet to tell you that he will show you shege in the next 4 years..

Vote Labour, don't waste your vote.. Sanwo won't be contesting like an idiot like this if labour party legitimately led by only 10k votes.. they know the real figure.



Did he really open apongbon bridge? I’m actually asking. It makes absolutely no sense for he to to have close the bridge for a year. The Brt has to go through Ijora with other cars to marina. The rate at which people take the brt has reduced drastically
