Must you be a tribalist?
You talk as if only Yorubas' lives in lagos.
Just take a look at yourself undecided

Last time I checked the founder of Facebook is neither yoruba, hausa or ibo (not africa/black)

Bros,its not 6gb. Its actually 3gb. Install a data counter app in your device to verify. Air tel is a scam.

lols. what a GREEK GIFT... wifi with ADVERTS? dude, its not cheap at all. and they ll also use the wifi to sample your preferences on all the internet activities you carry out via the wifi to know exactly what ads to send your way. this guy wants to monopolize advertising all across the world

So true, that's exactly what they do, they have this special program designed to keep track of your online activities, it's even used offline as well, big stores in the US for example 'target' can easily get your info and preferences through your shopping habits and send you free coupons to encourage you to continue shopping with them.

if you run a bizness & ur customer made their disatisfaction known to you, will you ask them to stop patronizing you? you seems not to understand the difference between forum & blog. blog is a one man show while forum is meant to share ideas among users. Nairalanders makes nairaland, taken?
