People hardly 'flash' these days.
International calls cost an average of N12 per minute, or 20k per second. Why flash?

It can serve as confirmation of numbers and can also be used as a means of acknowledging messages. Unecessary thread!!

I consider the 'flashing' trend as being quite uneducated. I will rather a text message were sent. I will tolerate a missed call only in an emergency. Otherwise, some folks like to show that they have just recharged their call credit.

Personally,I have seen a lady that can give 20 missed calls within a minute and the funniest thing is that the mumu boy sef go return the call.Even when you send a lady recharge card,she flashes you black as a sign of appreciation instead of calling.


lmao
haba, if that lady Got her SIM in 2003 and have been receiving just 200 naira card from 3 "mumu boys" daily, imagine her account balance now. thats about 10 Acre of Land in Mowe/Ofada or Sarkin Pawa (Niger State), Arable farmland in a phone. we don suffer o

Call charges have been reduced to 15k, yet this act still persists.
Re: The 'flashing' Trend In Nigeria, Doing Bad Or Good? by baslone: 1:45pm On Jul 07, 2011
Do people still flash?

Well only when you give your number out and be like "flash me now,let me store yours too"

Besides that flashes hardly enter my phone!

OHHHHH, now that you said miss call hmm I do it all the time. .Not everyone is blessed with having a contract or blackberry where you can all you can do is add this thing called bb pin and chat away. tongue tongue

I usually text but if I miss call you know that it is important and you will get constant miss calls until you call me back. Very annoying but is how you get someones attention.

@El Guapo
For all your vaunted "abroadness" you type poor english.

For your information "flashing" has become a valid way of communicating as evidenced by MTN's (and i think Glo too) call me back msgs. As it is said necessity is the mother of invention.

El v bin waitin for u @ home.


@ topic, i tink dere are tins dat v more impact on our country dan “flashing“. M not sayin its good or bad, but dere‘s almost no wae u‘ll discuss a topic like dis without sounding concieted. Yea,dey‘r some whu do it thou dey can afford to call, but u find out dat majority of dose who do it wld prefer calling but since dey cant afford to, dey do d alternative .

well, i think it's more complicated than that!
when i last was in the place, my coussin from Ny sent me his number and i sent my to him n everyone else as soon as i activated my line! after 3days of calling everyone, my lil bros happens to call and i complained that no one call me but that im the one calling everyone - he laughfed at me n said oh, they r just catching u mugu because u make the calls u pay but they dont! okay fair enuff,

but why does a university student flash me so i can call her back so she can ask me for N50.000.00
why does a sister flash a brother when their mom is in an accident??

when family expects u to be sending tens of thousands of Naira to them from a conversation, tell me why they must flash u rather than be decent and get a N500 card to call,

its another form of fraud i think

To be frank, flashing can be very annoying especially when it is done by someone you know can very well afford to call you. There was a number that kept flashing me for a long time and i decided to call,behold it was a friend during my Uni days in Naija,telling me how he got my number from another friend, that he is now a big boy in Abuja blah blah blah,and i was like WTF! You can imagine how pissed off i was throughout that day!

big boy indeed - more like yeye man!! grin grin

Oh so you know you are deficient yet you are belly aching over "flashing"? Bottomline is everyone has deficiencies somewhere; bellyaching over trivialities is not only time wasting it makes you look silly.

U know i've been trying hard to decipher what ur point is and its marvellous to note what ur scheme all this while was, lurking to get words outta my mouth and experiment ur college English Skills in the process, Well not to worry i've seen and handled ur kinda humans not jxt on N.l but around the globe, So go vent ur redudant plight on someone else n stop stalking n xhibiting ur childish xhubberance on a public forum and again Pls dont get too conceited as u can see its doin u more harm than good

LoL! You know what you are simply an attention seeker and I gave you a dose, it's only it's not the type you want. LoL

Folk like like you always want to flaunt some kind of urbanity but end up revealing the bigots they are.

(2)''Hey, Long time no call. Just checkn on ya''. Then wen u flash me back, it means, 'Hey, I got ur message, thanks for ur concern,estoy bien''. #sigh. one flash does d work.
