Stuck with over 140GB Airtel 5k plan. There is no good Airtel network coverage in my new area. Worst of all I can't transfer more than 200mb.

Currently using MTN always on 45GB 6k plan for the time being. The Airtel 5k my area plan was a blast. 15k bonus airtime to call any network for 7 days.

How do you subscribe for 140GB on Airtel for 5k shocked
Romance / Nigerians Groan As Cost Of Condoms Increases By 200% by Drdhrey: 8:47am On Feb 12
Lagos residents groan as cost of condoms increases by 200%

''Female condoms are available but more expensive than male condoms. Ten pieces of Fc2 vaginal condom go for over N4,200 now, before it was around N2,000’’.


Some residents of Lagos have raised concerns over the increasing cost of condoms, saying it will lead to unsafe sex and unintended pregnancies among citizens.

The residents spoke in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.

NAN reports that there are different types and brands of condoms, and the best are often determined by their quality, durability, level of comfort and protection they offer.

Some condom brands include Durex, Fiesta, Kiss, Rough Rider and Gold Circle, among others.



FIRS
Checks at some pharmacies showed that prices of condoms had increased by 50 to 200 per cent when compared to their prices last year.

The residents said that access to affordable contraceptives was critical in ensuring the health of both partners, protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and planning the desired pregnancy.

A banker, Felix Atuche, said the increasing price of condoms had made him resort to withdrawal methods, hoping it wouldn’t lead to pregnancy.

“We got married two months ago, and my wife and I are currently undertaking our master’s degree, so pregnancy has to wait about two years. I usually use the Durex Fetherlite Elite condom because it heightens the feelings between partners, just like skin-to-skin.

“I used to buy the pack for N1,900, but now it goes for N2,500 to N3,500, depending on the pharmacy I buy from. The cost is getting unaffordable because of the many packs I need.

I resorted to the withdrawal method, but my wife has been avoiding sex with me because she’s scared of getting pregnant,” he said.

Similarly, Monisola Ajayi, a businesswoman, said that she prioritised her sexual health by ensuring that she used female condoms during sexual intercourse.

She said: “A few years ago, I contracted STIs from my husband. I got treated and forgave him, but the incident left a scar on my heart, so I always ensured I used a condom to protect myself. Female condoms are available but more expensive than male condoms. Ten pieces of Fc2 vaginal condom go for over N4,200 now, before it was around N2,000’’.

“If I don’t have a condom, then no show for Oga except he buys it for me. The hardship in the country is negatively affecting our sexual health,” she said.


More reactions
Also, a youth corps member, Celestine Adesola, said the rising cost of condoms exposed many youths to unsafe sex, which could increase sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

She said: “Valentine’s celebration is this week, and some parents would be shocked if they knew the unimaginable and risky practices their teens and youths want to indulge in for fun.



“I would advise that enlightenment should be intensified among teens and youths. Also, non-governmental organisations should increase the distribution of free condoms to protect the health of youths,” Mrs Adesola said.


Commenting, Michael Achoji, a pharmacist, said the increase in condom prices was impacted by rising inflation, cost of production, and foreign exchange rates.



Mr Achoji appealed to the Federal Government to prioritise sexual and reproductive health issues through sustained interventions that would ensure access to and affordability of contraceptives.

This is very apt and informative, would check out the said codes, my brother NIN was said to have reached it's limit, when he wanted to link it with a particular network provider, the same NIN that has only be used once on the said network provider, I was so curious when the attendant told us, it had been linked to Five numbers, we were been instructed to visit the network provider Office so as to help out delisting the said appendages....

Business / Re: Unilever Nigeria Stops Production, Sales Of Omo, Lux by Drdhrey: 6:50am On Jan 20
casualobserver:
when i was young there were less than 10 soap brands, lux (which was horrible) joy, pears, tetmosol, imperial leather, palmolive and maybe 1 or 2 others....lux was the worst of all....all were preferable to lux.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Niger_Company
You are on point with your assertion, these brands have never been up and doing since there Inception into the Nigerian Market, the said OMO isn't even foamy, never liked it when growing up, thank God klin and Ariel came to my rescue as regards washing of clothes back then, OMO was nothing to write home about, they were living on the premise that they own Nigeria as you have joined, Unilever brothers,and as such could dish out substandard product to the market, that was one of their biggest undoings..
These has got nothing to do with the economy, they simply can't compete with the new cats in town, Dangote noodles too had to pack up for the big boys within that sector, the competition is strive.

The mods needs to push this to front page, it's a total sham seeing this kind of stuff happening within the Academic corridors of our nation, Nigeria is not yet technologically inclined, We must embrace technology as a leveraging tool to advance our growth at all fronts collectively.

I detest the fact that a whole lot of bad things happened during the administration of willie obiano, the emergence of the dreaded sars unit in anambra Akwuzu SARS office, led by James Nwafor, a former security aide of Obiano, who caused heinious crimes,gross misconduct, arbitrary arrests, torture and extra-judicial killings, and was chided by this same obiano.
