Bro, leave all those studies alone cos there's more to it .... lets just leave it ....

See, Bible says that the power of life and death is in the tongue .... anything the enemy brings in dream or vision, its our duty as christians with authority in Christ to nullify it ....

If i wan go buy dreams wey i don get or people tell me about me, i suppose don die 25 years ago ....

Switinthemiddle:
the thing is that we even studied about dreams in church last week.

No spoil your brother great day with your yeye dream joor ... that's how you people dis-stabilize somebody's life ....

Switinthemiddle:
Hey everyone today is my elder brother's introduction and its a cause for merriment in our family. We are currently on our way to his inlaw's house but i'm worried about a dream my mum had overnight which she disclosed to us this morning.
In the dream- she saw us all in our living room chilling then all of a sudden a pregnant dog just ran into the parlour and all the lights suddenly went off...all efforts to find the dog proved abortive as we couldn't see in the dark.
So if anyone has an idea or what this might mean please indicate... And no insults.

Webmasters / Re: Who's Using Airtel 5G HBB Router (unlimited Data)? by bigl: 11:12pm On Aug 12
I don't have that but what i know is, u pay for the speed u want and the speeds offered so far are:

20mbps - 20k
40mbps - 35k
60mbps - 50k
Ultra 200gb unlimited - has unlimited speed but is data capped at 200gb ... there are other plans with bigger data cap but when i tried the 200gb ultra, i finished it in 19 days with moderate usage...

Battery test: my observation is 6 to 10 hours

Computers / Re: Why Is My Laptop Showing Me This And What Is The Solution? (Photo) by bigl: 9:27am On Aug 09
Na normal windows isssh jare ...

1. Ensure u have a working anti virus (avast free) ... scan the entire hdd with another laptop
2. Ensure u have anti malware (malwarebytes does a good job) ... scan the entire hdd with another laptop
3. Ensure your ram is properly seated in its slot and also, the contact are not dirty/clogged up with dust
4. Do not auto-update windows ... i repeat 1 billion times ... update does more harm than good .... it practically breaks your windows
5. As soon as u are bouyant, switch to Macbook Pro ... Apple OS is more reliable ... and u don't have to have the latest ... but the minimum year u should buy if u do graphics/editing is Mid 2012, 8gb ram, ensure the storage is SSD ... even if na 128gb u fit afford



Kalatium:
I woke up 2 days ago and noticed my laptop is showing me this. I haven't used it for a week so I am wondering what could have been wrong here.

Today is even the worst. Once it starts booting and it will shut down. It will keep booting and shutting down by itself.

Mtn? Na the name i fear most now o ... dem fit kee person with data billing and disappearance ... Its good to switch to airtel jare ....

And i think there's airtel plan for that your mifi o!

Best thing to do is to go to their website: https://airtel.com.ng and input that airtel no there, then click to buy bundle ... carefully look ... i've seen that plan there too ... afterall, we are not using the full power of the 5G sef so 20mbps go work wella with your mifi

megamindmaster:


Bro i need your help. MTN wan kill me!

For the sake of clarity, does the 20k 20mbps (or even the 200gb throttled one) work on this 4G pocket Mifi?

If yes, can I just do it on my current airtel sim card or is there a special way to do it?

I can't just buy the 5G router at the moment cos I've spend over 60k for data in my family just in a month+ on data...

I tire ... the max we've done is about 650gb and i was doing some heavy download - tuts, footages for editing, vfx, etc ... but on a normal day, just 250gb is what we normally clock and its super fair for 20k ....

FarEl18:


Okay Thanks. I

Actually, it comes in 2 units (at least mine, I can see some people posting a newer one that is just one unit). One is the receiver and the other is the router. You are supposed to place the receiver close to a window and it is what holds the Airtel sim. Then you connect the receiver to the router via LAN/Ethernet which broadcasts the WiFi signal.

Fyi, I sometimes connect from the receiver directly to my laptop using LAN.
Phones / Re: Please Recommend Good Laptop For Graphic Design Under 150k by bigl: 10:26pm On Aug 03
Hey bro, howdy?

Sorry about the demise of your dad and also your school issues et al… life happens and we just have to find a way to deal with it … life has to go on …

You’re super duper lucky someone is willing to part with 1 milla for u … well, that’s the breakthrough u need as regards seed fund to jump start your journey into career/business…. Wish I was this lucky like u …

If possible, influence your NYSC posting to somewhere u can grow fast, like lagos … you’ll learn a lot fast and grow, rather than spending your 1 year in a remote village where u might not even smell electricity/internet for a while …

Web Development is a good stuff to go for and u can get up to speed with the basics in some months if you’re willing to really give it time.

Cinematography / Video editing/ motion graphics / 3d are also good fields you can dabble into and do well while making good money.

But u should understand that there’s a learning stage and then, earning stage?

To get u started, u will need a laptop and trust me, I am not part to those Gen Zees that will tell u that u must buy 4 million laptop before u can start video editing or web dev, all na lie dem dey lie.

U can get started with a laptop of about 200k (I don’t mean those pepper-yoyo touch screen laptops o, don’t buy them) .. something like core i5 or i7, 8gb /12gb/16gb ram, Storage should be SSD, 15.6 inches is ok and a battery life of say 3 hours is fine … it can be windows or Mac but I’ll recommend u getting a Mac for a start: a 13 inch 2012 MacBook Pro (specs above apply) will suffice cos of the price, battery life and upgradeability …

Once u have that, next stage is to decide if you’re the type that can learn on his own with video tuts or u need to enrol in a school to learn these stuffs.

I’ll recommend a hybrid approach: Learn via courses but try to apply as an intern (without pay) at a company that does what u wish to learn … like a media or web development company/agency where what u want to end up doing is what they are doing …

I learnt a lot on my own using self taught videos sha and later, started mingling with guys who are top guns in the fields i want ...

Combining what you’re learning at home and what you’re learning on the job will fast track your growth … your internship might not be more than 3 months … during which that balance u have from your seed fund can be used to survive (spend wisely: no carrying of ladies Ugandan or u go know how far)… They may even end up employing you cos you will have mastered how to do quite a lot from them while running around as their “mumu errand boy” and doing assignments given to u … And if they don’t employ u, u will have gotten a lot of links via working with them

By the way, Nigeria of today, u can't sit down with just 1 thing ... u gas learn 2 or more things to be able to make enough to sustain your existence ...

My advice is to: Start small, scale up and keep growing … if u need further clarification or help, drop your whatsapp line and I’ll reach out to u.


Benjamin4388:

please advise me!!!

I lost my dad second year in university while schooling in a private uni in Benin republic..cuz of lack of funds I was only coming to write exams thru the help of my peers..at the end of duration of the course in order to go for nysc in 2017.my bill was almost a million naira with miscellaneous it gonna pass that mark...now 2024 ....I got this bro in the UK who said he had only a million to spend and I should not bother him about anything after that...he was asking if I wanted to go and pay the debt and go for nysc or do something else like business
Firstly am not sure of a good career job after the end of the NYSC.
Secondly I don't know a thing bout computer science again but I know am gonna catch up if I could find the money to go for any of the web development courses
Thirdly I got passion for art even though I don't have talent for singing..I love sounds,movies and the special effects they use in making them but I don't really have much time to waste in much passion..I need something that I could do and earn and be independent
Have researched and was fixed on video editing and cinematography before...but have discovered even more with 3d animation,3d modelling,motion graphics,etc...I love them all

but I really need help on the one I could learn that will get me on my feet quickly...and the cost of training and tools needed that won't pass the said amount...I don't wanna blow this opportunity
Phones / Re: Please Guys: Which Unlimited Data Do You Use. by bigl: 7:00pm On Aug 02
Noooo, stick with the nokia o cos even the highest speed i got when using the unlimited ultra (200gb data limit but speed is uncapped), was 160mbps which is still within the realm of 4G ....

Hope u get me?

Until they start giving us speeds like 600mbps, then u may consider switching but for now, stick with the nokia jare...

By the way, does this nokia router, have an external antenna? Cos the unboxing i watched was kinda funny: saw some cable sticking out..

FarEl18:
Do you mean it's only the 20mbps you can do?

I currently use the Nokia receiver + router and use the same 20mbps unlimited plan. But I was thinking of switching and buying the Airtel 5G router and be using it for either the 20, 40 or 60 mbps plan because the router is more portable and has a power bank.

Do the other unlimited plans work on the 5G router?

Phones / Re: Please Guys: Which Unlimited Data Do You Use. by bigl: 8:54pm On Jul 24
If na mostly downloading/streaming (not games o), just like me, buy the 20mbps plan jeje

Do not, i repeat, do not buy that 200gb unlimited ultra o cos e go finish in the twinkle of an eye due to the high speed ...

Bro, what are u doing presently?

If you have no job at the moment, i'll advise u move (u alone o), to lagos, find somewhere to hang your head, do the 60k job but be on the look out for other opportunities with higher pay, that u can move to.

Don't let anyone fool u ... Zero naira is zero naira!

At the end of the month, from that 60k, with super management, u can still be sending madam about 10 to 20k monthly for upkeep ....

If u have skills, u can see opportunities to make use of such in lagos ...

u see that abeokuta, i ran from it some years back and i'm doing waaaay berra in lagos

And to make matters worse, house rent in abeokuta, is almost same with that of lagos

Good morning Nairaland.
I have been deeply troubled lately over my health, I had written about this here years back but it keeps growing bad daily .

I had been diagnosed staphylococcus and as a matter of fact , it's a product of ignorance and not sexual exploit because I had my first sex at age 26 and before then I was never sexually active .

My life is in ruins now cos I'm closing to the year of marriage and my sexual life is nothing and to cap it all, my girl is even a virgin and being that I'm not sexually effective, I couldn't even disflower the period she stayed at my place and because of that , I pretended I was not sexually interested so it won't sound I was after sex as she had labeled all men to be .

House , even if I end up not having a wife in life , my health now is in a big mess as my private parts inches like what I can't even quality, pls house , if anybody has a lasting solution to this , the person should as a matter of urgency help me cos I'm dying in silence .

I had been defrauded repeatedly because I was looking for solutions to this menace , how can I be living, money I don't have , healthy life , I can't enjoy , haba! Life isn't just fair to me .

Personally, i don't care if you're skinny or orobo (chubby) ...

I care about who u are and your attitude ... if you've got good vibes and reasonable, we go date ...

Dating, to me is beyond weight and that's how i believe it should be ...

And my advice to u: don't try to cut down your weight to satisfy anyone cos such men, eventually leave...

Your very own guy will come your way ... just be on the lookout and be prepared ...

Fairview1:
Men be honest… would you date someone who’s a little chubby? I feel like men only want skinny woman these days and that’s something I have never been.

Dating has been super hard for me and I’m wondering if it’s because I’m a little thicker than most females I know, I’m not talking obsessed but thicker for sure.

So, men… does weight matter to you when it comes to choosing a lady to date? Be honest, let's talk.

If you're dishing out money like its hot, bro, i'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, "You will become extremely poor" ...

So, begin dey change am for those asking for urgent money ... shut them out ... tell them, u don't have ... let them cry and wail and gnash teeth but do not send any money to anyone ...

They will get used to it and leave u the eff alone


AbokiWam:
My Salary is a little above #100, 000 naira, My friends know I am working which brings enormous pressure on me, They think it is a high paying job because of the Corporate dressing and all.

I don't Know if it is the hardship from this era, but now 4 out of every phone calls someone receives is usually them asking you to lend them money. Currently self I am skeptical of answering phone calls. Work Colleagues also do not spare you in this regard.

My problem now is I am too soft hearted, Any small story and I am already heading to my bank app to do transfer for,

Beginning of June, money I lent to a total number of 7 different people was running into almost 60,000 naira.
At the start of July, Only two people have paid me back (5000 & 4000)

Because of that I promised myself not to lend anyone money again from my salary, but Just this morning I got a call from someone I know , he was crying to me of his salary being delayed at work.
He pleaded with me to lend him #10,000 which I obliged, Knowing fully well I wont get my money back (He has borrowed 8k from me before without paying back)

I think something is wrong with me, I can even go to loan app to borrow and gift a friend if I don't Have

Same borrowing habit almost ruined my Dad, it destroyed his friendship with a close pal, he borrowed his friend #800,000 back IN 2011 when money still had value, the friend refused paying and that crumbled his business for a while.

My Mom have warned me if I continue, I might experience same.

I really need to change...
If every one should pay me money they have owed me, I would be able to buy honda baby boy
This is a bad habit I need to stop.
