I received no such sms but just yesterday, for a 200 naira worth of airtime from MTN I purchased through UBA I was surcharged 48 naira. Not until now did I fathom the reason for that deduction. Chai !!

I don't understand this
I have always been charged for ussd to check account balance

we struggle to live our lives.
we buy fuel to power our generators.
we pay bogus estimated electricity bills for darkness.
even those who receive salaries, inflation and increase prices of goods have rendered them hopeless.
Every time now they will just sleep and wake up and introduce a new tax.
Kuku kee us.

Virginnn:
Just received this sms from mtn.
Yello, as requested by your bank, from Oct 21, we will start charging you directly for USSD access to banking services. Please contact your bank for more info.
Sender:
MTNN.

These are indeed tough times for Nigerians. Considering the alarming rate at which prices of common goods are going up, government and multi-nationals are, in addition to the huge profits they generate, squeezing the juice out of the meagre income generated by the vulnerable citizens.

OlisaOsega87:
MTN won’t be the first network to do this. They are just following the footsteps of other networks, the banks are the guilty party here.

gloriaunobi:
I have zenith, UBA and first bank app. Why do I need ussd? US dollar nko....

Virginnn:

Actually, USSD as used here doesn't mean dollars.
it means Unstructured Supplementary Service Data. sometimes referred to as "quick codes" or "feature codes"

We told you people but you wouldn't listen. instead you called us wailers but today, every Nigerian has become a wailer...
