PhonesRe: Are Nigerians Using Their Handsets The Right Way? Lesson From Dana Aircrash by walcolm(m): 7:08am On Jun 12, 2012
Folks, i think we are reacting emotionally.

there is so much untruth and corruption in the world that it is pertinent for as many bits and pieces of information about any event be captured as much as possible to avoid cover ups and exploitation

let's use the dana crash as a case in point. it is a sad event and an unfortunate one but it is not everybody at the scene of that accident that has the capacity to provide rescue or help to the victims at the time of the accident. not because they don't want to but because they don't have the capacity to do it without complicating the incident and endangering themselves and others

i am in no way endorsing insensitivity by sharing false pictures or spreading rumors. the least bit people who cannot provide help can do is cover the real events and share it so that rescue workers who go over and beyond to help the victims can be identified and lauded and even rewarded. those who misbehave or choose not to provide help when they are paid and mandated to provide rescue will also be captured and feel the displeasure of the world.

its a delicate topic that needs cool headed logical analysis rather than emotional shutdown

PoliticsRe: Occupy Ikeja City Mall- Shop Owners Shut Due To Parking Fees by walcolm(m): 6:47am On Jun 12, 2012
deenee: It is on record that a lot of people have abused the free parking spaces because of the proximity of the mall to the main road. In most cases, people come in park their cars and embark on other tasks outside the premises of the mall. Some, even park in the morning and come back only in the evening. This attitude makes it difficult for genuine shoppers to get adequate parking space when they are around to shop. I have been to malls in the UK, USA (where I am based) and in some parts of Latin America and I paid parking fee on quite a number of occasions.

We need to drop this mentality of "Everything should be free because I am Nigerian". People don't pay their taxes yet they want to have access to facilities. We cannot eat our cake and have it.
i agree with you the freebie mentality needs to be dropped but in this particular case, i think the mall managers need to honor agreements and tackle the abuse rather than take the easy way out.

if the mall managers agreed with the businesses in the mall that the parking will be free for shoppers, then parking should be free for shoppers. it is the responsibility of the mall managers to make sure any vehicle parked in the lot is that of a shopper and not a straggler looking for somewhere to keep their car
TV/MoviesRe: Have You Seen The New Coca Cola Advert? It Insults Africans by walcolm(m): 6:39am On Jun 12, 2012
otele: Now this is a direct insult. The only problem is that it's true. lipsrsealed
when that Sony advert came up, Dora Akinyuli made Sony apologize and the advert was pulled officially by Sony.

i think the coca cola advert needs to go the same way. it doesn't matter what arguments anybody puts up, Coca cola is not an African brand, they are a world wide brand. so singling out africa as the only continent that is not concerned about the future is not fair.

it is not fair to the hardworking men and women who are struggling under inept and corrupt leadership to make something out of nothing.
it is not fair on the millions of graduates walking the streets looking for non-existent jobs and not able to self employ due to lack of access to start up capital
it is not fair to the farmers working with inadequate tools to till the ground and grow food they have to transport hundreds of kilometers to get a market for

it really is not fair to ourselves to say Coca cola has not done anything wrong by this advert
Technology MarketRe: Samsung Galaxy S2 Lastest Price by walcolm(m): 1:30pm On Jun 10, 2012
aieromon: Why don't you guys wait for S3 to come into the Nigerian market instead of salivating for the S2?

The price will probably crash to N70,000 before the middle of next month.

The HTC One X is an example.
so how much is the HTC 1X now?

PhonesRe: Nigerians May Just Save Blackberry From Extinction by walcolm(m): 1:15pm On May 28, 2012
Charm O: I really hope the BB market crashes. The device is highly overrated. It rarely survives a virus attack, crashes of its own accord and the subscription is insane (cheap data plans exist but aren't worth it if you are a download addict like me). I hate the duration of its system boot, at least 3mins depending on what apps you have downloaded. And girls buy it and think 'pinging' is all it's about. I'm quite happy with my Nokia and whatsapp and 2go.
your comments in bold are very ignorant comments.
FACTS:
BB is the only mobile device that is not prone to virus attack
the least BIS monthly data cap is 1GB with glo offering 3GB....no other smartphone data plan nears that at just N1400 for a month

This is Nigeria!
This is why we hv refused to make progress.
What is d RELIVANCE of driving with ur lights on with d kind of wether we have here?
It makes no sense having ur lights on in broad day light!

Wether you agree or not; most people do it to show off.
as you can see from the OP response, he asked because he didn't know and has now been shown the light...rather than learn, na strong head u de use there. you're OYO

what actually doesn't make sense is you not asking what the philosophy behind DRL is
BusinessRe: Need A Loan On N2 Million For Business - Collateral Available by walcolm(m): 10:42am On May 23, 2012
for those of you who are interested in securing a bank loan, there is no lecture anywhere in the world anybody can teach you to secure a loan in Nigeria.

unless you are running a successful business already and generating revenue already, Nigerian banks will not loan you money
unless you are working in a good company ie. oil, telecoms or banking and you have a steady and decent income, the banks will not lend you anything more than salary advance, autoloan and mortgage loan and the hurdles you have to jump through to get those loans makes the whole process not worthwhile. when you factor in the cut throat interest rate they will give you, it makes it even worse

ceysaga: I began to suspect that this ATM officer was manipulating the machine to withdraw 2x your withdrawal so that he can dodge the other half.
Landers, beware and always check your balance before $ after withdrawal.

THIEVES DON DEY WORK FOR BANK TOO

this is a very unfair accusation! the ATM officers main job is to load the machine with money and be the first line investigator when the ATM misbehaves so that customer's money is returned to them.
