Konga - An Apple MacBook Pro For N48000?

I was browsing through Konga this morning as I was searching for a portable PC for a friend. Soon i came across what I'll call the impossible. An Apple MacBook Pro going for N48000 on Konga. I didn't believe what I saw at first I had to recheck and behold it is actually true. Take a look at a screen shot I took.



I'm thinking this is probably a glitch or there's an error somewhere because no sane person will sellout a MacBook at that Price. This is not the first time Konga is having this kind of problem, sometime ago I could remember when an Infinix Note Note Price Tag was N200,000. Konga should try and resolve this quickly before it turn out to be something else.

What's your say guys?

How To Get 5GB + N2560 Airtime on MTN For N2000

A lot of surprise coming from MTN lately, could this be due to their recent huge lost in customers which they’re trying to make up for? Anyway it is though; I hope it’s worth a while. Just of recent MTN introduced an affordable data plan of 3.75GB for N2000 which is 500% better than previous data plans we had. Just yesterday again, I received information regarding a new data plan that left me stunned. Before I inform you, see the text for yourself.

Credit : Yomiprof

At first I said to myself this is too good to be true, but I subsequently found out that it’s actually real. This plan offers 5GB data + N2560 all for N2000.This is probably the most affordable plan we’ll ever get from MTN so I guess it’s best if we make hay while the sun still shines.

Who Is Eligible?

Well virtually everyone is eligible for this plan as long as you have an MTN SIM card and you’re on MTN True talk.

How to Subscribe

  • First thing to do is to migrate to MTN True talk if you’re not on the package by dialing *400#
  • Soon after you receive confirmation for migration, Load N2000 Airtime on your line
  • Send in SMS D2000 to 131 to subscribe. This plan is valid for 30 days.

Also there’s another plan similar to this that offers 100MB + N1950 for N500.If you intend to opt in for this just Send V500 to 131 and it’ll be activated immediately. This plan is valid for 7 days.

The two other plans introduced by MTN are the 3.75GB and 1.3GB for N2000 and N1000 respectively.

Airtel Introduces Free Facebook Access To All of Its Customers

Few years back, I can vividly remember when we had free acess to facebook with almost all of our Networks,shortly after it was discontinued for whatsoever reason best known to them all. Airtel NG has now officially reintroduce this free facebook plan.This plan is open to all Airtel customers and does not require some sort of eligibility.




Airtel Free Facebook provides you with free unlimited access to facebook at all times. However some photos and video are not available.Just a normal facebook to stay updated with your buddies at all times.

How To Access Airtel Free Facebook

All you have to do is to do is launch your browser and type in free.facebook.com instead of the normal facebook.com

Does this work with all Browsers?

Well tecnically I'll say no,justifiably. I’ve tried accessing this with all of my browsers but only opera mini and CM Browser seem to be working. I don’t know if this is from me tho,but you can try other browsers yourself and see how it turns out.

New Etisalat 4.5GB For N3500 Data Plan

In a bid to satisfy its consumer’s data need, Etisalat NG has introduced a new data plan. This plan is not rather cheap but at least is better than what we use to have. Just  this morning I received a text from etisalat and it goes thus.



This plan offers you 4.5GB data for N3500 and works on all devices with a validity of thirty(30) days. Just a N500 deduction from what we had then. But they say,half bread is better than none,is it not?

How To Subcribe

Well if you intend to subscribe for this package, all you have to do is Top-up your line with N3500 and dial *229*2*9# . Soon after youll receive a confimation sms and the airtime will be deducted.

Not withstanding, I still think etisalat needs to up their game if they wish to remain in the market,owing to the recent fall in data prices and the return of Ntel that offers affordable data with astounding speed. 

Any Alternative Cheaper Data Plan?

Of course,they’ll always be an alternative. Etisalat Blackberry Complete Plan that offer 3GB for N1000 is available and works fine on Android devices and even on PC.Click Here for a full guide on how to Activate this.

Best Data Plan For Heavy Internet Downloads

Whilst most of us are anxiously waiting to download the hot new episode of the Blockbuster TvShow Game of Thrones, I thought it'll be prudent to brief y'all on the latest available data plans for heavy online downloads. Different plans are available for different networks. However, you can opt-in for which ever suits you the most.


Airtel Unlimited Night Plan : This is personally my favorite among the available plans. Its is fast with no speed throttle and you can download as much as 5GB files within an hour. All however, depends on the network speed in your area. The plan only works between 12am-6am everyday.
Subscribe dial

  • *481*1# (N100) For 1hours plan
  • *481*2# (N200) For 3hours plan
  • *481*3# (N500) For 6hours plan

Etisalat Weekly Social Me : This plan offers unlimited data for a day,week and month. If you have a stable etisalat network in your place this will work just fine. Subscribe to any of the plans preferably the weekly social me, using tweakware or Psiphon connect and enjoy your download experience.
To Subscribe dial

  • *342*1*1# For a day chat pack - N100
  • *342*2*1# For a week(7 days) Social Pack - N300
  • *343*6*11# For a month chat pack - N500

After Subscribing launch your Psiphon and set this:
Proxy type : Real Host  
Proxy server : de.blackberry.com
Real  Proxy Type : Default
Save and connect

Glo 6GB For 1500 Naira : Don't be surprised, this plan involves a little trick. As we all know Glo Bis works fine on android. This plan involves topping the Glo bus monthly plan with Glo weekend plan. So you top-up N1000 on your line and subscribe for Month Bis plan by dialing *777*21# of which 3GB will be allocated to you. Soon after load N500 and subscribe for Glo weekend Plan by dialing *777# and follow the prompt. Then again 3GB data will be given to you. All together making 6GB at N1500. Change your APN to glosecure and connect. Better still you can just opt-in for the weekend plan only.

MTN daily Unlimited data: This plan provides unlimited access to the net for 24 hours at N150. However, few users are eligible. To check if you're eligible dial *567*59# and reply the prompt with 1 to activate.

5 Common Myths About Smartphone Batteries

The ultimate need to keep our smartphones running at all times has manifest in a number of ways. Smartphone users hunt for different measures to keep their batteries healthier and durable. A number of these "battery saving practices" are just mare misconceptions and misinformations (All na wash) which most people consider. Here are five of the most prevalent smartphone battery myths :




  1. Don't use your phone while charging : Most people believe that using your phone while charging might cause your phone to implode or end up electrocuting you. Well this is not remotely true, except if you're using it in a bathtub or of course if your charger is Aba made. Charging your phone and using it at the same time has no effect on battery quality. However, it can slow the rate at which your phone get fully juiced because the longer you screen is on the more power it'll consume.
  2. Let your battery run down completely before charging : This was applicable to old age batteries which are the Nickel Cadmium or Nickel-metal hydride batteries. These batteries used to be foolish. They tend to forget their full capacity hence can no longer charge 100% again. Most Modern smartphones however, use lithium-ion batteries which works entirely different from the old batteries. In fact, complete battery depletion before charging is believed to reduce battery durability. Most batteries have finite number of charging cycles and as it continuously increases battery efficiency is reducing. As your battery drains to 0% more charging cycles results. It is better advisable to keep your battery charged at all times in contrast to complete depletion.
  3. Leaving your phone on charger overnight damages the battery : This is probably the most common. As it is believed overcharging reduces the battery's ability to hold charge. This is true for ancient lithium-ion batteries that could overheat or even explode if charged for too long. Modern phones however, are called smartphones for a reason. They're intelligent enough to detect or recognize when the battery is fully charged thereby limiting the power reaching the battery. In fact, most smartphones undergo trickle charge that improves battery health. Leaving your device to charge overnight is not as detrimental as they say. This however,doesn't guarantee you leave your device connected to the power source in excess of 12 hours. Some other factors might arise such as the battery overheating and this coupled with a poor battery casing might cause your battery to explode. It is more recommended to maintain battery juice between 40% - 80%.
  4. Use only original charger to charge your phone : Although the use of official original charger if highly recommended, brand-off or third party chargers works just fine. However there's an exception to super-cheap crappy chargers which can lead to battery damage. A Licensed third party charger is just fine as long as it charges you device. Although it might take a longer time to fill up your battery.
  5. Task Managers or App killers conserve phone battery : Most often, you'll find a lot of people opting-in for task managers to help preserve smartphone battery. But in the actual sense these apps only results to more battery depletion.App killers tend to arbitrarily destroy applications running in background taking it out of the phone's RAM. Most of these apps are required for the phone to function normally. So as soon as they're closed, they'll have to load to the phone's memory all over again. This frequent loading and unloading puts extra stress on the device leading to more power consumption than if you just left it alone.
