Open Letter To All Telecommunication Networks by jibbish(m): 12:59pm On Jun 29, 2014
Dear Nigerian Telecommunication Companies,
I am not part of those people who will rather
keep silent because they are anticipating your
cheap free gifts or an endorsement from greedy
and self centred telecommunication companies.
Don’t reply this Letter to explain how much cost
and salaries you claim to be incurring because we
all know you are making excess profit from
Nigeria. The nonsense you are doing here is what
you cannot try in developed countries but what
do you expect from a sleeping and corrupt
government? #Shame
What do you think of telecommunication in
Nigeria? Do you think the Price, Network and data
plan is fair to the average Nigerian?
You might not know this fact but I can assure you
that telecommunication companies in Nigeria
(Mtn,Glo,Airtel,Etisalat and co) are ripping us off.
They are so greedy and they definitely don’t care
about us that is why they prefer to maximize
profits and use promotions, adverts,
endorsements and music concerts to deceive us.
They know we don’t have any better choice, the
Nigerian Communication Commission is on their
payroll so they have the green light to treat us
just the way they like.
Honestly there Is no difference between Internet
fraudsters and these telecommunication
companies, if you don’t believe then allow me
expose their scams
1. SIM CARD SCAM
To start with,remember when Sim cards was first
introduced in Nigeria? How much were they
selling it? It was as much as N70,000. Now they
sell it for N100 and most people even own more
than one. What does this tell you? They
intentionally made owning a sim card seem like a
privilege and something only for the rich. They
started reducing the price gradually, made
billions of naira and still made Nigerians think
they were doing us a huge favor. Now even
beggars own a phone. Yes or No? That is the
attitude of a criminal.
2. RECHARGE CARD ND DATA BUNDLE SCAM
If you calculate the amount we spend on calls in a
month, do you know it is well over N10,000? So on
the average, if we buy N200 recharge card per
day multiplied it by 30 days in a month, it equals
N6,000. Why can’t you just create a plan for us
where we can pay N3,000 per month for unlimited
Local calls (Not international calls) , text
messages and internet plan. You can still be
selling recharge/ top up cards by the side
definitely and I know thousands of people reading
this can afford it. This service won’t make u have
a loss. Afterall Glo boss Dr Mike Adenuga could
afford to give over 400 guest who came to his
party a $10,000 “thank you for coming” envelope.
Nigeria is an unsafe place now where we cannot
afford to be out of reach, so many people have
lost their life to ritualist killing,kidnappers and
robbers just because they could not call for help
due to the fact that they were out of call credit.
OUR DEMAND:
We don’t want “Borrow me Credit” facility,let
those who can afford it pay for the special plan of
unlimited calls, Text and Data Bundle. Be fair,
everyone deserves to be online, this is year 2014.
3. PROMO SCAM
It has come to our notice that several companies
send us random messages to participate in a
promo or introduce us to a product. How did
Samsung, Indomie, Nestlé, Vijumilk,konga nd co
have my private number? The only explanation to
that is our criminal minded companies sell our
phone numbers to other multi national companies
so they can send us bulk text messages .They
even go further to call us with a computer
generated voice to advertise. Airtel sends me 5
text messages everyday claiming that I have
N500,000 insurance in my hands. Since when did it
become compulsory to participate in a promo?
That is another attitude of a fraudster if u ask me
OUR DEMAND:
We have a right to privacy and you must respect
that ! If u want to introduce your product to us,
pay us to listen to your story,hire marketers or Go
to the internet and pay bloggers to advertise your
new products.
4. Unhealthy Rivalry and So on
Another important issue is the unnecessary
rivalalry With your competitors. Calling from MTN
to GLO is like calling an international number.
The same applies to all other network.The money
you splash on your already wealthy millionaire
Brand ambassadors can be used to upgrade your
software and hardware to the latest versions. On
so many occasions our credit will disappear and
we just have to ignore it because we get tired of
all the 30 customer care representative telling us
to call back in 15min. Mtn is fond of stealing
people’s credit, the only difference between u
and armed robbers is that u have not started
using guns. Femi Odegbaro loaded N400, he was
owing N100 andMTN wiped out everything. What if
he was in an emergency like an asthmatic attack
and he had to call someone to assist him?
Victor olawale loaded N2,500 to his modem and he
could only use it for Facebook. The complains are
endless.
Our Demand
Are you going to Listen to us and give us packages
we can afford? Are u going to still enrich your
millionaire brand ambassadors and ignore
upcoming musicians,comedians and fresh talents
who need your help and support the most?


Do u agree or think I am wrong? Then send your
comments to @Baddestdjtimmy
