  • See How people are sleeping outside of MTN offices/outlets because of Sim card verification

    Buying a Sim card to browse and make calls then was like ABC, but now you have to document your line/Sim card for you to enjoy communication services and you have to do it with sweat.

    When I had a text message from MTN asking me to verify my line by submitting my biometrics with a valid ID card, I thought it was a mere and simple thing. But not withstanding, it was a hell thingy as the crowd in a particular location was beyond accountability.

    Seeing able men struggling for space was a normal thing, but seeing old men and women sleeping with mats outside the cold and breezy weather was something not to be celebrated.

    This people have had their Sim Cards registered several times before now according to their report, but why the verification is what still baffles me. The worst of all is that most of their outlets were blocked and I noticed that in a town or city only one service center was available. Why they have to suffer the people I don’t know, or is it because of the multiple billion fine being given to them by NCC?

    This is crazy and wicked, just take a look at these photos below…

  • Business in Calabar this Christmas period

    The busyness of the markets, the hype of prices and the catapulting sales of goods and services in Calabar this Christmas period is beyond imagination.

    I was walking from shop to shops, market to markets in Calabar, what I discovered that is common among all is how the prices of things are being elevated and also the huge sales been made by business owners.

    Asking of the business woman in Watt Market, why the hype of price in goods that normal doesn’t cost the same amount? She smiled and said “This is Christmas; nothing in price is compared when it comes to Christmas period, the way you buy things is never the same as in the normal times. Right from the producers, the wholesalers and the retailers, Christmas period is when they make huge gains and sales. So, the price will definitely be high even if we buy at lower prices before Christmas”.

    My interview with one of the buyers: this is what she told me; “Things are hard especially in this new era, you have to save till the end of the year before you can buy reasonable things for your kids and families. People expect much this period, and this is when you get the most trending things in stores. She added that it’s not always easy especially for them that are married, I have to persuade my husband and I have to wait until he gives the money too. So, if he gives money on the 24th of Dec, that’s when I’ll go to the market.

    Christmas is really the biggest holiday celebrations. But, just keep it low especially those that are eager and always on the rush.

  • How Kerosene at N50 has turned Northwest Filling Station in Calabar into a Market Square

    It was one hot afternoon when I guest walked the long Lemna road, and what I saw makes me feel Nigeria is not a country to lived on. The long queue, the people and their children mostly women, the look on their and the grums on the stomach, I felt pity for them just over Kerosene. Yet they were still struggling and battling just to get a litre.

    Nigeria is said to be the highest oil producing country in Africa and amidst the world according to OPEC, but yet an ordinary citizen cannot afford a litre of Kerosene, even petrol neither. After the FG had tried several times to regulate the price of Kerosene to N50/L, only a few keep to the law. What happen to others, I don’t know. Now Northwest and NNPC filling stations are now like the Popular Watt and Marian market because there are selling at the PPR price. When the govt will do something I don’t know, but the suffering is too much. A cake is not meant for only the rich, at least the poor also feed from the crumps.

    Please FG, have sympathy on this people and make them enjoy what God has given to them for free, thank you.

    Stabilize Fuel Price in Nigeria…!!!

    Please share with others to help meet the need of the people, thank you.

  • First Bank Nigeria Network Out Of Service In Calabar Since 9:00am Today

    Been walking from one First Bank branch to another but still unable to withdraw cash, whether ATM, cheque book, third-party cheques and other banking services.

    This is so poor and bad for a bank like First Bank with a slogan “You First” but can’t even get more than one network provider to boost their services across all platforms.

    I think it’s high time the banking sectors sit up and serve the people well. Most times it’s no money problem even you if you’d stocked millions. May be the government in the position of CBN should make laws that will improve the sector just like that of Europe and the U.S.

  • EbonyLife TV Commences Operations in Calabar, Plans to Expand to Lagos and Abuja

    EbonyLife TV, Africa’s first Global Black Entertainment
    and Lifestyle network moves into its third year as the channel of
    choice in the entertainment category, the outfit is now expanding its
    operations to more Nigerian cities, including Abuja, Lagos and Calabar.
    The channel’s purpose for this multi-location operations is to meet its
    goal of programme specialization as well as market inclusion.

    In this regards, Drama, one of the most exciting genres on EbonyLife TV,
    will now be moved to Calabar, with major drama series set to be
    produced all year round from ‘the nation’s paradise’. Already, The Governor, Desperate Housewives Africa, Cinderella, Dynasty and Melrose Place are scheduled for production in Calabar. The latter two: Dynasty and Melrose Place are EbonyLife TV’s two new classic blockbuster series recently acquired from CBS Studios International (CBSSI).

    The Governor, a riveting 13-part drama series, is currently being shot in Calabar. When Governor Peter Akala
    dies from an automobile accident, not only is his State thrown into
    paroxysms of mourning, the party hierarchy is also thrown into mighty
    disarray as well. The succession plan as enshrined in the constitution
    now faces a very harsh test in the face of severe machinations and
    maneuverings as the State is set, against all odds, to produce not only a
    political ‘outsider’, but also a woman, as governor!

    To demonstrate EbonyLife TV’s firm commitment to Calabar as its city of choice, The Governor,
    an extensive production, is being shot in over 12 different locations
    in Calabar, Cross Rivers State, while approximately 40 local actors have
    been cast in Calabar.
    Next in line to be produced in Calabar after The Governor, is ‘Cinderella- An African Tale’.
    This will be a 6 part mini-series modern African adaptation of the
    famous and absorbing fairytale set to be filmed in February 2016.
    The filming of Cinderella – An African Tale will be followed by the production, also in Calabar, of the African adaptation of Dynasty and Melrose Place, compelling acquisitions from CBS Studios International (CBSSI). Adaptation scripting of these is to commence in early 2016.
    On the heels of these will be the filming of Desperate Housewives Africa
    Season 2 in the latter quarter of 2016. The partnership between
    EbonyLife TV and the Walt Disney Company had brought about the
    production of Desperate Housewives Africa Season 1, based on the multiple award winning ABC Television drama hit series, Desperate Housewives. Desperate Housewives Africa has been the first drama format ever to be made in Africa.
    As EbonyLife TV positions to meet the needs of its viewers by creating
    more drama from its world-class studio facility in Tinapa, Calabar, as
    enabled by its celebrated partnership with the Cross River State
    Government and the good, warm, hospitable and loving people of the
    tourist city, the company is also proudly expanding its operational
    tentacles to both Lagos and Abuja.
    Whereas Calabar remains a most critical
    and integral aspect of the channel’s operations and will ultimately be
    known as its Home of Drama, Lagos will be known as EbonyLife TV’s home
    of Entertainment. Consequently, the channel’s rich daily entertainment
    portfolio is now set to move to its new studios in Lagos in order to
    allow for ease of production and accessibility to guests.
    The
    channel has also expanded its operations to Abuja. In its bid to
    continuously champion the cause of its teeming youth viewership on the
    issues of politics and governance, EbonyLife TV now has a team of
    correspondents and production crew covering the Villa, bringing its
    audiences news and views in and around the centre of power in Nigeria,
    similar sentiments that inspired a number of its existing programmes,
    including Naija Politics (a panel discussion programme that
    seeks to bring insight into intricate political issues, while proffering
    answers to questions on the minds of viewers); EL Reports (latest headlines and positive news from around the continent), among others.
    EbonyLife TV’s Abuja operations also transcend reporting from the Villa. Its recently commissioned 13-part drama series, Sons of The Caliphate, is currently being shot in the city. Sons of The Caliphate
    is a political drama set in the North of Nigeria about three rich,
    entitled and ambitious young men all caught up in the lust for power,
    addiction, love and desire, as well as the obligations of family loyalty
    and the craving for revenge in the deadly tussle for the governorship
    seat of the Northern Caliphate State. Personal conflicts and interest
    intertwine and cascade through the dark alleys of corruption, betrayals,
    assassinations, corporate crimes and palace affairs in this drama about
    the rich, cultural and flamboyant aristocratic Northern
    Nigerian lifestyle.
