Published

MTN Subscribers living in some parts of Kogi State would have a hard time getting network access as the Kogi State Internal Revenue Service shut down some masts and accused the telco of tax evasion.
Kogi State Shuts Down MTN Masts
Officials of the KGIRS officials allegedly broke into two hub sites in Lokoja on Wednesday morning to shut down the power generating sets and seal the sites. Almost 107 sites in Kogi, Edo and the Federal Capital Territory have been affected by that action.
MTN said its regrets the disruption of services to its customers in Kogi and some neighbouring states and remains fully committed to working with the Kogi state government and the relevant regulatory authorities in reaching a timely and lasting solution.
Over 70 sites including hub sites across parts of Kogi State have so far been affected by the shutdown and it is feared that it could lead to a total communications blackout in its environs.
Kogi State Internal Revenue Service disclosed that MTN refused to meet its obligation of over N120 million to the state government, but decided to insult them with N250,000.
When MTN sought to respond in respect of this liability of N120 million, it decided to insult the state government by offering N250,000 as full and final settlement as its tax obligation.
“We received the cheque yesterday and we consider that as a serious insult on the people and government of Kogi State.
Millions of Nigerians are already affected by the action by KIRS as it would restrict them from communicating with loved ones as well as keep abreast of happenings around them.
What’s your experience with the MTN Shutdown so far?

Xiaomi Plans On Releasing A Curved Full Screen Phone – Photos

Published
6 days agoon
February 15, 2019
Xiaomi has on releasing a Xiaomi Curved Screen phone and they have even patented the design which means we would be seeing something like that from them very soon. Xiaomi hasn’t failed on releasing top-notch devices lately.
The new patent was approved by the WIPO (World International Property Office). The patent is named -a full-screen smartphone with 4 sided edges, and it’s really similar to Samsung’s dual curved screen, but this time, Xiaomi just wants to curve every inch of the display.
The Xiaomi Curved Screen Phone
The design shown below shows a smartphone design that comes with a dual rear camera and a LED flash on the rear, with no fingerprint scanner in sight, which means there will be an in-display fingerprint scanner. In front, interestingly there’s no selfie camera, not even a notch nor a hole punch which makes me wonder if Xiaomi would use an on-screen camera beneath.
The left and right-hand view look bare, but there is room for a USB connector on the bottom next to the edge of the curved screen. The top view is also bare, so that removes the option of a pop-up selfie camera.
While bezel-free display has almost become a reality, a smartphone with 4 curved sides with no plans for selfie camera would be something we wish to behold someday, but like some other patents, this might never become a reality, but then, we’re eagerly awaiting what becomes of this latest design.

Instagram For Web: Messaging From The Web Would Be Possible Soon

Published

February 14, 2019
Instagram for web messaging would soon be possible as the Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform has revealed its plans to make the messaging feature available for the web version.
If you recall Instagram started majorly as an app and only did it become a web app in the past couple of years and it seems they’re looking to make it available on the web fully without stripping down features
Instagram For Web Messaging
I believe this new feature might also pave the way for the unified chat system that Facebook has for Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram Direct.
According to Jane Manchun Wong, the service should use the URL Instagram.com/direct/ and should be available via a direct arrow icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

Samsung Galaxy A20 Running On Android GO Spotted On GeekBench

Published
1 week agoon
February 12, 2019
With the first pair of the new Galaxy M series now on sale, the Galaxy A-series is apparently now the next for overhauling with the Galaxy A20. The brand is reportedly working on a number of the Galaxy A-series smartphones, and while a good number of them will arrive as mid-range offerings, it appears that a couple of entry-level offerings might be in the mix.
A yet-to-be-announced Samsung device with the model number SM-A260F has surfaced on the Geekbench database, and if reports are to be believed, the device in question could launch as the Android Go version of the Galaxy A20 that was seen on the same Geekbench about a month ago.
As per the listing, the device will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 7870 processor previously seen in the A6 and some other dated Samsung Galaxy J series smartphones. The chipset will be aided by 1GB of RAM, and interestingly, the listing mentioned ‘go’ in the SoC section which suggests the device will eventually launch as an Android Go device, though still based on Android 8.
Samsung Galaxy A20 GEEKBENCH
Not much else is known about the device at the moment, but as with the Galaxy J2 core Android Go phone and other Android Go edition smartphones, we expect the Galaxy A20 to pack some entry hardware devoid of a fingerprint scanner, dual rear cameras and so on.

Hammer VPN Settings For MTN 2019 Let’s You Browse Free – How To Configure

Published
1 week agoon
February 12, 2019
So a couple of people have asked me how they can browse free on MTN and today someone just sent me Hammer VPN settings for MTN, so here’s how it works. It’s very similar to the Combo VPN setting I posted about a few hours ago but the limit is higher.
Basically, the VPN has tons of servers to choose from and you can even get unlimited data or in a few cases, you’ll be limited to a particular data cap.
Hammer VPN Settings For MTN – How It Works
Like all VPN services, Hammer VPN has both a free and paid server plans. The free server is capped at 100MB per day and immediately that 100MB is finished you can easily switch to another free server and connect again. You get 14 free servers per day which is equivalent to 1.4GB.
Hammer VPN Settings For MTN – How To Configure
In order to use Hammer VPN on your MTN device here’s what you need to do. Carefully follow the instructions below
Requirements
- MTN 4G or 3G sim without active data
- Default MTN APN settings
- Hammer VPN APK – Download Here
Settings
- Username: ntg1234
- Password: leave it at the default (do not edit it)
- Server: Choose any free server
- Use this as the ports to the two boxes
The first box is 8080 and the second box is 9201. Select UDP too and then click on connect.
It may take about 10 -30 seconds for the VPN to establish a connection based on how strong the network is at your location before finally getting connected. Once it gets connected, launch your browser and start browsing, surfing the web and stream any video you want.
Hammer VPN Settings For MTN – How To Bypass 100MB Limit
Of course, after you have connected to a server, there’s no way you won’t exhaust the daily 100mb data limit on the server, So here is an easy way you can use to bypass its limit. You can either use your phone file manager for this or ES File Explorer
- Simply download the ES Explorer app and launch the app.
- Select “SHOW HIDDEN FILES“ from the menu, go to your INTERNAL STORAGE (SD CARD) folder and then tap on “ANDROID” folder and you will see all hidden files on it.
- Search for any file that is stored as “playstor.srf.h“. Open the file using the built-in Es Text Editor.
- Once you are done with that step, you will see a number in this format 10-78214644. All you are required to change are the first two numbers 10 which is your today’s date to tomorrow’s date 11.
- Then SAVE your edit.
Relaunch the Hammer VPN App and reconnect. It will connect instantly.

February 4, 2019
Teleology Holdings has sued 9mobile. It seems all hasn’t been well with 9Mobile and their new owners for the past couple of months and it doesn’t seem like it would stop anytime soon.
The board of directors of the telecommunications company has alleged that the former MTN Nigeria chief, Adrian Wood was unable to make financial commitments during the process.
Adrian Wood who was one of the prominent investors in Nigeria’s 9mobile deal has sued the management and board of the company.
Teleology Holdings Sues 9Mobile
In an exclusive chat with Business Insider SSA By Pulse on Thursday, Wood said he has sued the board and management of 9mobile and the matter is pending in a Nigerian court.
“No comments from Teleology for now, upon legal advice.
Three weeks ago, the board of directors of 9mobile described Adrian Wood as a minority stakeholder. The company also said the former MTN chief failed to meet certain obligations during the deal.
9mobile woes continues until this case is resolved by the court.
