SAY NO TO 0870 (UK READERS ALERT!!)

This website, sent to me by my sister, made my week! http://www.saynoto0870.com/

Many people do not realise that there are many phone providers offering cheaper alternative numbers to 0844, 0845, 0870 or 0871 telephone numbers.

If you have an 'inclusive landline calls' phone package, then it is very rare that 0844, 0845, 0870, or 0871 numbers are are included in your 'free minutes' allocation, unlike normal numbers. Many mobile phone packages also exclude freephone 0800 and 0808 numbers for your bundled minutes.

Many companies advertise a separate number that can be used when calling from abroad - This usually begins in the format +44 - There is nothing to stop you using this number from the UK (as it is a normal rate telephone call), and will be included in any inclusive minutes provided by your landline or mobile phone provider. Many others will give you a standard number if you ask.

Use their Search Page to find an alternative landline number to your 0870/0844 number

Naija Weekend

It's Nigeria's Independence Day (anniversary) on Monday - October 1st and today is the first day I've felt home-sick in such a long time. Actually it was because a friend was telling me what he had for lunch in the office all week in Lagos i.e. Monday - yam pottage, Tues - this, Wednesday - that....Friday - Iyan and Efo Riro with snail and meat. Before I order that one to be delivered to my office in this Jand, we would have seen a few more independence days. Arghhh, well he calls me an Abolounjeku and I called him an Abaiyalasepoku! LOL i.e. grubby do calling grubby do, grubby do! And on that note, another friend (YYTX - lol) is telling me on msn that she is craving suya. I should send her that Suya Video on YouTube to tickle her fancy.

So, currently listening to TY Bello's album courtesy of DonChiChi (fellow-blogger) and wondering what I should put up today.

First off, congrats Peridot and Ruby! They are featured in this month's TL WA Magazine (True Love West Africa). See P&R on the pages below.

One of the two co-founders (as I don't know whether she is Peridot or Ruby), has a blog - check it out "Low's Mental Floss"

Peridot and Ruby B-Stoned Collection courtesy L.A.

Mode Men Magazine - Don't get it twisted! First there was MADE Men, now we have MODE Men Magazine (not sure in which order). I smell some competition here, but hey I'm just a keen reader. The Mode Mag looks hot though but I've got nothing but love for my friends at MADE. Keep up the good work guys!
