If you are a fan of my WhatsApp status, you would have heard me say time and time again that "there is no network in Nigeria" This is more of a statement of frustration than it is a statement of fact. The internet is working but sometimes it just sucks.
The Choir
I planned to make an ulog where I would summarise everything that Rev said. I was excited but then as I got into my house and shut the door behind me, I remembered that my Smile Internet Modem has refused to come up since afternoon. I suddenly realized that I have to call their customer care and ask them for possible solutions. I did that for several hours and when I couldn't stand it anymore, I resulted to subscribing to Airtel. It is was very painful though. By the time I subscribed to Airtel, I was already very tired. I fell asleep.
Today
I had to visit the Smile office today to complain that my modem has refused to start. I took these photographs of their office. I got my modem fixed in half an hour, it was a pleasurable experience, the customer service was excellent. The part of the trip that I didn't like was the transportation to/from their office. Their office is very far from where I live. Too far.
Every day is gratitude day.

I'm grateful for smile network. It's super-fast and most times reliable. It's better than any of the other internet providers like MTN, Airtel, e.t.c.
I find it very funny that I'm thanking God for Smile network. Just yesterday I was filled with rage and saying a lot of bad things about Smile. The truth is that they may be far from perfect but they still give good service. There are many states in Nigeria that not within their coverage and the people there won't even dream about Smile 4G network. There are people that have never heard of the internet. Some people do not even have phones. I grateful to Smile network for providing good services that are sometimes terrible.
If you are wondering why I'm writing like this, it is because of a 62 Day gratitude challenge. They say it is only a great fool that would not be grateful for what he has. The idea is pretty simple: to view things through the lens of gratitude. It's easy to take things for granted and when you do, you lose them. Like my Smile 4G internet Network, you probably don't realize how important somethings are to you until you are on the verge of losing them.
Special thanks to the following people who made entries to the Gratitude Challenge Day 8
