Bennyvibez:


You make a very strong point, and I agree with you to an extent. Modern technology has definitely exposed many things that were once considered mysterious.

However, even with electricity and surveillance, there are still some things rare and strange that remain unexplained. Life seems to always leave a little space for mystery.

By the way, what type of stories do you personally enjoy? Horror, survival, history, legends, gods, moral lesson, mystery?

Maybe you might find a few on my channel that match your taste. Would be great to hear what you like!

All I want to know is what killed him. Was he on PEDs? Do they have to undergo medical tests for every game or it’s a once a year process?

Bennyvibez:


True talk o! But this one carry smell wey resemble ancient wahala. No be crude oil matter again, na ancestral problem we dig commot. 😭💔

Direct government agencies there first.

Bennyvibez:


No wahala 😂 Just say if your leg mistakenly touch river for midnight, you go understand why elders no dey talk finish.

Silence, superstitious African. All those stories were formed out of ignorance. When electricity became a thing, humans became enlightened. Notice that areas without constant electricity are crime hotbeds. Install CCTVs with constant supervision and watch crime relocate to dark, unsupervised areas. Why haven’t CCTVs caught the existence of the supernatural in over a century of cameras? It is because they do not exist.

Dey play.

Bennyvibez:

True! Mosquitoes are deadly! 😄 But sometimes, what’s lurking in the water might be worse than mosquitoes... Watch and judge for yourself 😉

Bennyvibez:


😂😂 If na oil, why e come dey smell like old corpse mixed with iron?!
We for don build estate by now o!
But as e be, na only fear and fasting we hammer. 😭

Petroleum suppose dey odourless before?

Drink cold water as e pain you. Use ice block cool the burned area. No wonder your type quiet for real world debates. ROFLMAO.

luminouz:

Not me. You are the one who is dysfunctional to resent peace, tranquility and a perfect life. I don't find that boring. Only people like you used to the hustle and bustle of Lagos traffic and all that shiit desire life to be topsy-turvy.

Now that I know you are fûcking crazy, I'd avoid your moniker henceforth

Portable should face Terry G or Denrele.

dawnomike:
The couples need serious prayers.. I hope you informed the couples and not just thrash it.
It is a voodoo/spell of death to the future family...

…and you know all this, how?

Either a child that is to be born, either or both of the couple is been targeted from growing old.

Depending on the type of spell or voodoo, it might also be a spell cast for the death of the marriage in a short time -DIVORCE!!!

At this point, we should add natural disasters, illnesses, arson, theft and minor accidents to the list. Africans and superstition.

The couple should not in any way take it lightly... and by that, I don't mean they jumping from one spiritual house to the other. Lest they fall into the hands of an occultic pastor, Alfa or juju priest that will catalize the spell.

They tossed it in the trash and kept life moving. The oldest experience I was twenty-one years ago. The newest was thirteen years ago. All three marriages are going strong. Bad belle people or pranksters were being mischevious.

Wey your 30 - 35K?

Oyibo, oyibo, na him she go marry Hawaiian, Micronesian or Tongan. Oyibo means Caucasian. As such, only those from well recognized countries fall under the definition. No go marry Indian, Chinese or brown Arab call am oyibo. I will not take it!

If true, I don port since yesterday. I can spend no matter how much for reliable internet service. Unlimited data means I can watch anything I want, play anything I want and hear anything I want. Where and how do I sign up? I won’t read all of OP’s report.

1. That is not a three-minute read.

2. I did not read.

Latest communications technology innovation now enables iPhone and Android s to make calls and send messages via satellite — no special hardware required.

In a major leap forward for mobile connectivity, Elon Musk's Starlink has introduced a new feature that allows iPhone and Android s to connect directly to its satellite network — no additional hardware or modifications required.

Starlink can bring high-speed Internet to rural Pakistan
Direct-to-cell service

The new service, called Direct to Cell (D2C), is being hailed as a potential game changer for global communications, particularly in remote or underserved areas.

On Saturday (April 12), SpaceX sent Starlink Group 11-17 soaring with 21 smallsats including 13 D2C satellites aboard the Falcon 9 rocket from Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Direct connection, no dead spot?

By enabling smartphones to connect directly to Starlink’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, s will soon be able to send texts, make calls, and access basic data services — even in places with zero cellular coverage.

Previously, satellite connectivity required bulky, specialised devices.

What phone models work with direct to cell?

Now, any LTE-enabled smartphone, including models like the iPhone 14 and newer, or the Samsung Galaxy S23, can connect via Starlink — provided they are compatible and, in the US, connected through T-Mobile, Starlink’s partner carrier.

“Starlink satellites with Direct to Cell capabilities enable ubiquitous access to texting, calling, and browsing wherever you may be on land, lakes, or coastal waters,” the company said on its website. “Direct to Cell will also connect IoT devices using common LTE standards.”

Pricing

The feature is being rolled out as part of a commercial offering. Pricing details have yet to be announced.

It’s expected to be especially useful in emergency situations, such as hikers getting lost in the wilderness or residents affected by natural disasters in areas where cell towers are offline.

On December 31, 2024, SpaceX launched the first batch of satellites equipped with D2C capabilities.

10 times bigger

The company noted that its constellation for D2C service is now "nearly 10 times larger" than those of all other competing operators combined.

“SpaceX’s first launch of 2024 deployed our first set of Starlink sats with the Direct to Cell capability to help end cell-phone dead zones,” Starlink posted on X (formerly Twitter).

How does it work?

Each D2C satellite is equipped with an advanced eNodeB modem, which functions like a cellphone tower in space.

This allows smartphones to treat the satellite as a roaming partner — similar to how they switch between mobile networks when traveling internationally.

Key features include:

No special equipment needed: s don’t need to install any new hardware or antennas.

LTE compatibility: Any LTE-capable device may work, though only select phones are currently ed through T-Mobile.

Global reach: Coverage is expected to extend across land, lakes, and coastal waters, closing longstanding mobile dead zones.

Emergency potential: Direct to Cell could be life-saving during natural disasters or when stranded without a mobile signal.

Things to keep in mind
Limited Availability: The service is still being rolled out and might not be immediately available in all regions.

Device compatibility: Only certain phones (e.g., iPhone 14 or newer, Google Pixel 9, Samsung Galaxy S23 or newer) are ed via the T-Mobile partnership.

No Android OS integration yet: While Android devices can access Starlink via T-Mobile, there’s currently no native integration into the Android operating system.

Rollout: As the rollout continues, Starlink's D2C service is set to redefine mobile communication by extending access to areas previously out of reach by land-based means.

This is how you know mongrels on Nairaland have zero life experience. I understand him because I’ve faced the same. Everybody wants a perfect existence. We are quick to forget that perfect becomes boring after a while. Nature did not make mistakes by making war, famine, natural disasters and the likes commonplace. Heaven is a pipe dream. If it exists, humans would’ve long made it a ghetto. Hell seems more plausible than an idea of heaven. The human mind and body will adapt to the suffering, leading to the creation of variable means of torture to keep things interesting.

I have gotten employed in amazing work environments envied by the masses. After six months of work, dissatisfaction sets in. Humans hate routine — the lifeblood of maintaining standards.

Thick, dark blood seeps from the ground

It’s called oil. Una don hammer.

Rubbish. The only reason you shouldn’t sleep by the river at night is to avoid mosquitoes.

Bennyvibez:
Have you ever wondered why the elders always warn: "Never sleep by the river at night"?
At seventeen, I thought it was just superstition... until I learned the hard way. 😨

One evening, exhausted from a long day of fishing, I decided to rest by the riverbank.
It was supposed to be just a "small nap."

But when I woke up...
The stars were wrong.
The river was breathing.
And something something not human rose from the water, demanding a sacrifice.

I survived.
But not without paying a terrible price... and losing something I can never get back.

🔔 Don’t forget: Rivers give life... but they also take it.
Respect the river—or pay the price.

…and life continues.

Are Russians black like us?

No. Whites from so-called developed countries treat them no different from how they’d treat us.

Why are we not working hard enough to also rule the world? Do we have less than 24 hours daily unlike the whites and Asians? Were we not all Cavemen in the distant past?

Stop asking questions which’ve been asked a thousand times before. I didn’t come to educate anyone. I came to post my opinion.

The white man rules the world and his money is green. If Africans create a cure for the condition, the white man will not approve it until he gets his stamp on it. Russia claimed they’ve cured cancer and COVID. The US pushes away the claim because it did not come from them. See the sale of petroleum done in dollars when doing so in Naira would boost our economy.

Please why are you not expecting us blacks to treat this thing?

Don’t we need the money to be made from it? Abi we are not all made equally in God’s image according to Abrahamic creation story

Some communities live in medieval times in this country. They wake up and choose violence. In the north, killings over land are a normal thing. It happens in other locations around the country. Our media refuses to spread awareness on those.

I don't believe in conspiracies.

Condoms are not fun, unless you use the lightest you can purchase. Those are usually more expensive because they are foreign-made.

Make una die this woman matter. I don tire to see her fat face four times weekly.

When oyibo serious, them go treat this thing like COVID. There is money to be made from it. They don’t care for now.

When them dey chop, them no dey tell us. When the thing crash, them go full person ear on Nairaland.

My cousin said he doesn’t care which style is good. He enjoys all.

Na trolls get Nairaland, last last. This place no get istration.
