It shall not be well with you too in Jesus name,many of you talk like idiots,so because some policemen are bad means every single officer is bad right. Use your head and don't talk carelessly.

All of them are devils because the good one are powerless when their superiors are doing evil. For you to be selected for cadet course, it's based on slots, not merit. I worked with police high ranking officers before.

I got 20GB for #3, 500 legit data from MTN.
I Cracked one egg MyMtn app and I saw the offer. On one of other MTN sim cards, I got an offer of 9GB for #2000 by dialing *121#.
The thing is, these network providers even offer better data than what these resellers claim to sell

What someone doesn't know...
But I've left the guy to God. God will help me deal with him.

How can I harness all these benefits from mtn?
I'll appreciate if you can help me.

Police is the major reason Crime is ravaging Nigeria. If they do what they pay them to do and not be out looking for how to steal money from citizens crime will reduce drastically
you're right. They are the main criminals.

Dial *121# and select "Top deals for me".
You can also download my mtn app on playstore and you'll see one egg offer like that. Just crack the bundle egg and see what they have for you. Then you can compare with what you saw when you dialed *121# and pick whichever one is best for you.

If both deals are not good enough, you might try it on another MTN sim, because those deals always vary with sim cards

Mine happend way back , i was at the market to get a shoe for my secondary school graduation party. When i arrived at the market and picked a shoe from the shelf of one the traders, we talked about price and i paid him. I told him to package it for me. Aboki now said. "Bros, i know you like this shoe, but the thing be say e get some pin and wey dem dey put for the shoe we no go make am spoil sharp, sharp. I said he shouldnt bother but he insisted and said bros this shoe need this pin o. So i gave in and handed the shoes to him because i really liked the shoe. After hitting the pin so hard on the shoes to a point that when one tries to take them off, na tear the shoe go tear. Aboki now old me one pin cost 250, and he fixed in 14 pins.which cost about 3500. I asked him "oga no be free you put am? He said "free for where?" immediately i got angry and wanted to to start a fight. Before i could say another word ,like five guys dey my back with cigratte. I had to calm down and settle the issue like i was at fault. Las las i paid another 3500. Three years later i was at the same market and wanted to get another shoe, but from a different trader. After paying for the shoe, this aboki wanted to start up the same conversation that cost me 3500 3 years ago. Omor that day i quote bible for mind oo.i was like " affliction shall not rise the second time".....I told the aboki that i dont want.he insisted ,this man was literally dragging this shoe with me o, shoe that i have paid for. Before i know one agbero don come they follow me talk with vex say i really need the pin. I said oga i no want. The shoe slipped from his hand and i japa!!!!!

The dude even had a funding business and he delivered to me. He was honest enough then. Why this?

Op are you sure!?

Like I can't fathom what really happened to him, I have done business with him and I sent money first and he delivered, though he took a little bit longer than agreed.

I went to onitsha market (Emeka Ofor) to fix my laptop's screen, the guy I met said he wasn't having the screen at that moment and asked if I could wait.
I was on my way to Enugu and there was no way I could wait, so we agreed he should buy the laptop. We agreed on 30k, a laptop I bought for 104k that only had inks on the screen and all i intended was to buy a new screen for it.
Like the 30K price wasn't bad enough, I agreed only for him to tell me he was going to scan some internal faults of the system and he said he was going to charge 10 naira or so per unit (I can't remember the exact things he said because it's been like 2 years it happened). I didn't see the 10 naira as issue, after he was done scanning my PC, he told me the total charge for the scanning was 19k. I don't know how he did it, but he showed me everything on his screen. I couldn't argue with him because there were plenty scary looking guys around and that was my first time there. This guy sha paid me 11k for my brand new HP15 that only had little black inks on its screen.
My first time in the East taught me a great lesson.
(No tribal pun intended)

You must be a scammer yourself to suggest abandoning #178 000.

You even formatted your writing to avoid sane minds seeing the nonsense you are writing.

My experience is really unbelievable.
I was actually a victim of scam.
I met that particular guy at my place of work(hotel, he actually told me he had a problem with his ATM Card and that I should pls. Let him transfer to my account in which i declined. My roomie saw me talking to the guy and asked about our discussion and i detailed the info to him. Later, the next morning the guy (claiming he is coming back from the ATM) approach my roomie and he eventually gave him my account and my ATM Card(he has issues with his bank account). The guy transferred 150k and 20k to my acct. And withdrew 150k. He went away with my atm card and was nowhere to be fnund. 3days later, my acct was restricted and i was asked to refund the 150k.

My experience is similar but not with ATM though.

How do you guys get hotel hustle please?
Abeg help a brother.

I was. I had a younger brother going for youth service in sokoto state from Lagos. I needed to locate a park where he could board bus in Lagos. Pronto I switched to Google and I stumbled on a phone number for Young Shall Grow transport company. They have no website!
I stayed at outskirt of Lagos but this individual promised on phone to pick my younger brother at Berger on the travel day enroute Sokoto if only I could pay into his bank account. Somehow, he gave me a personal account number which I queried but I eventually succumbed following my dire need to conclude the arrangement.
Till tomorrow, I've not been able to get my money back.
I was quick to make alternative arrangement for the boy seeing how things were going.
I wrote to Ecobank stating the account that I paid into but they requested that I brought police to follow through.
I gave up on it eventually. It was 10,000 naira.
Trying to remember the name of that account owner
Was your brother a kid? Why do you think he can't get a bus himself?
