@ abubakar: like you said ''just for showoffs". They know that most of its Nigerian customers like ''efizee'' and don't know any better so they give them BlackBerry.
From what I read on this forum, you seem to know a lot about Starcomms. I use starcomms at home. What I would like to see though is a pay as you surf package. I emailed their help desk once and I was told there exists such a package but its quite expensive. If you happen to know anyone in the "corridors",do tell them to follow in the steps of Multilinks but they should not adopt a hook, line and sinker approach.
@ all: does anyone know any other place with wi-fi access besides the Palms or the Galleria; free or paid for |

@234h: the problem with pay as you go is the billing. a friend of mine using multilinks told me that though they were charging N525 per day (pre 10% vat) if had problems with:
1. it has to be loaded on the day before you want to use it, and
2. if ur balance isnt up to N525, they would take whats left at midnight and not let you browse. he'd load N1000 1day and lose N475 the next.

@234h: the 2nd problem is resolvable, but the 1st isnt. for a daily withdrawl of the money it has to be done at a single set time, midnight being the most obvious. what i would like to see from Starcomms is a greater number of time slot options. (eg weekends only).

Try Unilag around the senate building and Engineering Faculty (Free)
You can also access free wi-fi at the airport.
Chicken Republic outlets in Lagos used to have free wi-fi, but I dont know if it still runs.
"E-now now (TM)" available around major cybercafes (not free)

Guys i dont know if am the only one experiencing this problem with celtel, i was sent a message from celtel that i won 60 mins free call celtel to celtel for this sunday, but since early hours of 2day, have been trying to make a call without success, cant even check my balance.
You weren't alone in the agony of last sunday. It was general. The day ended with my 120mins being forfeited without making a single call.
Not to worry, next sunday will be better. Celtel have realised their folly and has increased the amount you must load in order to qualify for free sunday calls to N1000, and this must be loaded between friday and thursday of a given week in order to qualify for free calls the following sunday.
@Areafada and Abu: Thanks for the wishes. I give thanks to God for mercy.

The best thing president Umar Yar A'dua can do to win my heart (And I presume that of several Nigerians too), is to permanently solve the Lagos-Benin road problem. Its so bad now that travellers sleep on the way. It took me 9hrs to get to Benin from lagos, despite the fact that I took shortcuts that saved me some time. its really pathetic that in this 21st century roads like that still exist. We really need a minister of roads & highways in this country.

@amby: I spent nearly 10 hours on that road yesterday and I dread the prospect of going thru this route to Lagos on Monday. It is a national shame!
How can a government absndon such an important link road to the Niger Delta and East baffles me?
