“However, we further gathered that the Federal Government took the decision having discovered that data rates are very low-priced in Nigeria, compared to other countries, including nearby African countries. Fed. Govt cannot see that other Govt in those countries are doing well and challenge them to get us out of this recession, is imitating them to increase data which will force some people out of online business, how do we get to this point, very soon we will be paying tax for Oxygen, so that the poor can die. 5 Likes |

I really regret being a Nigerian. God punish this useless country and her leaders. it baffles me when I see Nigerians fighting Kenyans online claiming Nigeria is better than Kenya. Kenya is far more better than this useless godforsaken country called Nigeria. shameless people. always claiming to be patriotic to defend useless country. 5 Likes |

[size=28pt] Please tell me what an average Nigerians benefited from Government..... government failed to provide power still they increase fuel, no water, no road,-----Telecom are burning fuel every minute, because no power, how can they cope with this policy, cos there will be a call drop across the country from citizens. This telecom is a private enterprise not government owned biz, government have licensed them and they pay tax as well, if any telecom decides to sell the air time much more lower than any other telcom that barely make them break even would government stop them for not breaking even? how can government view this if Nigeria has the cheapest call and data rate across the world. Recently DSTV slashed all there subscription across Africa accept Nigeria, what did our government say. To my own thought we need engineering technocrats to pilot the affairs of this country, people who understand the technicalities of any problem, and combat such with engineering approach instead of using policy. "policy is more like a decree", it makes people hate and fear ones government. If you want to use this policy to stop people from using social media, it will not work, because majority of ppl who can buy it no matter the cost are the ppl in the social media, every problem has its own peculiarity of approach so far I may call this double taxation. All the African country he is mentioning have light, good roads, hospital, school, etc, and the government love the citizens, and the citizens love their leader. so I don't believe that claim is true.

AZeD1: The problem I have with textbook-model pipeliners like you is that you are obtuse about the existential parameters that could make market principles untenable or undesirable. The soul of a free market economy is competition. Pricing. The history of the Nigerian telecommunications industry provide verifiable data that competitive and aggressive pricing has been the engine behind the overwhelming success of the sector in the last fifteen years. Without competitive pricing, how long would mtn have continued selling SIMs for over 15k? Thus a militating factor on mobile phone penetration. Without competitive pricing, how long would mtn have continued to maintain that per second billing is untenable? how about call rates? Data access rate? Heck, wasn't there a time there were two way charges for a call? etc There is a reason why economics is a social science. Protecting niche competitors in a market where they have almost no footprint is the hallmark of a socialist or communist economy. 4 Likes |

openmine: Here's a scenario of how predatory pricing affects the subscribers 1) The telco's come together to reduce data price so as to stop the growth of other companies smaller companies 2) Once the smaller companies are out of business, the telcos increase the data price and the subscriber doesn't have a choice. |

AZeD1: Then the smaller companies should make better services their stronghold and strength. then NCC should make 1gb data to N1000 as cap price. With that smaller companies can offer at that price with better network services than the bigger companies thereby leading to change in market share in data subscribers 3 Likes |
