Our mobile operators are magicians!!! We spend a lot of money on recharge vouchers. Yet, the hard earned Naira, and kobo too in this context, is not paid for service. Its magic they give us. You may be wondering what this Ijebu born, Cotonou bred, Somolu based illiterate that I am means by magic. The technological innovation that makes it possible for you connect with people worlds away by just making a choice? Theres voice call,video call, Facebook, twitter, BBM, Whatsapp, Viber, et cetera (the list just keeps expanding, its hard to keep up) to choose from. In the days of Remedies, Plantashun boiz, and IK Dairo, prior to this century, this wouldve been magic to any Nigerian, it isnt now. The kinda magic Im driving at is magic, real magic and would always be magic. Well, except Einstein or one of his pals resurrects and formula-tes some mad ass theory to explain it. First, I need to browse, but cant seem to get a connection on my phone. My network notification should show H+ meaning I can go very fast ( though not as fast as I want). But it wont show anything at all. I seriously need to do some downloads, post some photos, tweet, blog and set some P. I know my internet settings are alright, still I contact my service provider for the correct setting. When they send it (if they send it), I install. Nothing. I call help center and request to speak with an agent. On a good day when I get one, he guides me manually to check my settings. Theyre correct, still nothing. Read on muserants.wordpress/2014/03/22/magic/ Then I get real frustrated and resort to checking my sim if its broken or something. The moment I start opening the back cover of my phone, my phone starts vibrating and pinging with all the messages and emails coming. I check and see my H+ standing bold and firm like the sun of the savannah and my browsing speed faster than Usain Bolt on his best day. Tell me, magic or not? Sometimes...
