The likes of me, Casts, honsule, lemmy28, Don Caprio, Mankinde, etc contributed greatly to the free browsing eras in Nigeria.

I even later went on to introduce psiphon handler to Nigeria. Saw it in an India forum and brought it straight to 9ja.

Currently d only tool strong enough to hack networks in Nigeria is a beast called Daemon VPN by dzebb. It is a PAID android app with unlimited potentials...

None.

When I left Nigeria we had none of this stuff. If you waka from Ibadan go Ife to see your babe and she no dey. Na OYO be dat.

What hurts more is when you finally get back home and dey tell you say she just left your house shocked

Confession Time.

I was part of the whole era. MTN magic Sim was the best... surfing the net with my tecno N3, streaming of YouTube videos and online TV. That was then... memory lane.

It got the point where we were taught how to do free browsing on our own, search for proxy address and convert to numbers if you're using java phones or use it like that if you're using symbian phone.

Naijaloaded was hot back then, it was a forum before converting to blog, I had to buy 60leaves exercise book to write down all these things.

Then tecno came with cheap android phone and we had to switch to simple server, python, freedom etc. grin it was fun mehn

Where were you during the days of %2f , when the fastest network speed in Nigeria was Edge?

The .muf.mobi days

The /? days?

Back when it was only Java & Symbian devices

The days when home page was still free on all network and you needed to use them as proxy?

Those were the days...By the way you skipped the one and only psiphon.MTN ,Glo and 9mobile suffer that year sha

Ultimately it is the customers, including your relatives and friends, who bear the cost.
Abi you heard that the telcos were not making profits
For several years, Nigeria was MTN’s most profitable operations.

Re: 6 Eras In Nigeria Telecom Industry by Nobody: 9:53am On Apr 22, 2018
How about the first era, the era of "mtnonline.com@anysite" or "10.199.212.8@anysite" or you just change your IP address to "10.199.212.8" and all that, before the era of opera mini handler.
