It's called basic human right, something a lot of Nigerians are unaware of! It's your right to register your displeasure with a service or product of which you are a consumer. A right thinking business would try to modify its policies when such complaints represents the voice of the majority but I guess this is 9ja, if they don't like it they can go and hang themselves right? angry angry

Most of the ban has tribal colouration written over it. A senenario where someone will insult you, you report the person to mod, he won't do anything about it. That person will keep insulting you until you loose your temper and insult the person back, next thing you see is 2 months ban for bullying a nairaland... Meanwhile the person that insulted you first is left roaming about free.. All this happens just because the mod and the person are from the same tribe.. What do you call that?

Greedy Mark.. The data plans are not affordable enough, more so as they come with advertisements. There is no iota of charity in this venture.

For such a project that has Facebook's imprimatur, anything less than N1k for 10gb doesn't make sense.
