I am always available dude 
Its unfortunate that Glo didn't go for something radical. But I still think it will be quite popular among the younger folks. We await Amby's Celtel Nigeria...
@All... Two of my articles was printed in The Sun newspaper on Saturday, "Me and My GSM" column. My bro called to tell me yesterday and I had to go looking for the paper. They even got my pix in full colour too. hehehehe... Jaja Bings would say, "Me-sa getting famousy"

where do i start.... where do i start.....
@coola: affordable TV we have. You can stick to NTA and watch all the Customs shows, EFCC shows etc at any time you want. But there is no such thing as AFFORDABLE FREE TV!!!! Someone has to pay, either you or advertisers. And we are just not there yet. Our economy has to turn around 1st.
This whole N2/min thing is nice for New Years eve!!! but really, only the really strapped will patronize it frequently
@pxth: have no problem with football. have problems with football fanatics!
@amby: there is one thing to invest in infrastructure (that can be sold after a while, at times even for a profit!!!!) and buying a service!!!! If your Dovemedia can step up to the plate and give DSTV a fight for there money in bidding for the services, like the rights to quality programming,they should heave ahead and do so. But until we see them do so........
There is other content that people are interested in. If they cant get football, they should look at other programming. Isnt it a shame that DSTV got its hands on the bulk of Nollywood movies?
AND A BIG CORRECTION!!!!!!!!! ESPN, Discovery and cartoon network are not free-to-air!!!!!!!! The rest on your list (Bloomberg etc) may be. ESPN Gets all its money from Rebroadcasting Fees!!!!!!! NO adverts at all!!!
I will never call it a racket as long as there are options!!! If the amount of money that goes into DSTV subscription fees from Naija footballs fanatics could have been channeled into our own FA............ Why dont you think in the 21st C we still cant watch our own FA matches, live and nationwide??? every football giant in Africa does!!!!!
Anyhow, at the end of the day, when Nigeria, some day in the future, turns things around and we start to produce quality programming for the world, this decision will turn its ugly head around and bite us in the ass!!!!
We will have super low bids coming rom countries that cant afford more, then we will see how we could maintain the programming!!!
But let me pose this question to you and others on the thread... "Can we force say FIFA to sell veiwing rights to only Nigerian Broadcasters?" In this world of Globalization??? I dont think so

Hey guys, long time
I've been chillin.
I just wanted to say that i am one week away from throwing away my vmobile line. I think vmobile has loss thier sense of innovative ideas. They dont do promos, gprs only works in few states, csd does not work at all and worst of all, the one thing i liked about them-which is the fact that they were sponsoring the t.v game show who wants to be a millonaire has been taken over by Mtn. Right now vmobile i would say is the 2nd worst network after mtel.
Secondly can someone please tell me why Efcc is after mike adenuga? i hear he is not in the country at the moment-he is cooling off in yankee. Heard they took some of his top officials at globacom and con oil for questioning.
Lastly do we need to have at least N100 to be able to make the glo call at 12am like mtn?
As you go through life, do all the good you can, to all the people you can, in all the ways you can, because you never know who you might need tomorrow  |

I wouldn't throw it away just yet as Celtel Nigeria (as V will be rebranded to soon) now has 1 billion dollars of cold cash to invest in its network.
I am not sure about the others... but all these promos have not changed my phone spending pattern one bit.
But... I agree their GPRS coverage is wack...I don't get any signal in my office again... for over a month now.

I had the same problem too, it's either you call microsoft CC to rectify it or change your key with some software like I did. |

Well, let the FGN sort it out... I just hope I get to continue using my Win XP.... the error goes like:
==========
The Windows product key installed on this computer is a Volume License Key (VLK) that has been blocked. A VLK is typically licensed to organizations that want to use multiple copies of Windows. However, if a VLK is reported as stolen or leaked, it is blocked from passing validation and is not considered genuine.
==========
That means quite a few PC's in Abuja are in trouble.
@Mamba... I may inbox u if I deceded to take the law into my habds.
@Abu For a SE T610
