Abuja to buy Spy Balloons


Words in the air is that the Administration of Abuja plans on spending about N295 million on Spy Balloons, in a bid to improve security.

Wonder why Spy Balloons would be required when cctv are installed in every nook and cranny of the capital city, not forgetting that we also have a functional satelite in space.

Spy Balloon is such an obsolete technology, considering that they have been around even before World War I, hence would be a waste of valuable resources.

Experience of a Data Bundle Subscriber

A few of the Service Providers I have been fortunate enough to use their internet or data plan includes MTN, Airtel and Etisalat. From my experience MTN has been quite unreliable, the few times I subscribed for their data plan my data usage ran faster than my browsing speed. Airtel on the other hand had been manageable up until a couple of days ago my remaining data allowance mysteriously disappeared from my phone, before that I had already noticed a discrepancy between the data balance I got using *123*10# and the one returned using *141*712*0#. The only Communication Service Provider that hasn't disappointed me yet data-wise is Etisalat. They have the most pocket friendly data plan and their data plan readings has been quite accurate to the best of my knowledge. Which of 'em has been reliable to you?
