Hey..... I like that part you brought the naija factor oo. Network network and bad network. This bad network stuff in the country is another thing especially if you are off network areas like major cities, you really go crazy sometimes thinking something had gone wrong with your wallet if you are waiting for an update.
Op thanks for clearing the air though. At the time I saw the thread and wanted to say something, it was already locked. However, my response would have also touched on the low transaction fee because miners are in business too and they would be interested to pick transaction sent to be processed with higher and enticing fee especially where there is congestion/traffic (demand for process).
