I could not access any Nigerian website, not even my own website but I could visit foreign sites like Facebook and Youtube and even my website host. I am currently using a VPN now to type this. Even my website, Punch, and other Nigerian websites cannot be accessed. It was only Vanguard news I could accessed without a VPN.

The funny thing is that websites outside of Nigeria can be accessed such as Youtube, Facebook, etc.

I called my Web host abroad and they said they could access my own site. Which means foreigners could accessed Nigerian sites but Nigerians cannot accessed Nigerian sites.

I called Airtel and they refused telling me anything about it. That my issue will be resolved within 18 hours. I asked the call rep that are they blocking Nigerians from visiting Nigerian websites? and she simply told me they will resolve my issue. I told her it was not my issue but the whole of Nigeria because I had another airtel number and it has the same issue. I used my MTN number and it had the same issue.

If Nairaland records a drop in internet traffic, it is because of this issue.


I think they are up to something.

UPDATE!
MTN has rectified its own.
Airtel still persists on both router and normal phone. It is an Airtel issue.

I am using airtel and I couldn't log-on yesterday to any site the data was not working on 4G and even others and I believe that was a network issue of airtel because I couldn't even access facebook.

It is an Airtel issue.

It's just a network issue. Even mtn was down around 4am this morning couldn't access anything except Google domains. But was restored around 6
