Why Are Data Credits Costly In Nigeria? by Firstnebo: 11:48am On May 07, 2020
You probably know by now that network bandwidth and data accessibility has been classified by world bodies as a utility for life. Just in the way water and electricity are classified.

But in Nigeria data is costly and the technology that makes internet accessibility freely available in many other nations are denied us here.

For example, why do we not have cable WiFi? Cable WiFi is a technology that lets you stream very fast and unlimited data through the same coaxial cable provided by your digital cable network, like (Startimes, DStv, etc).

Today it's possible to source resources on the internet in order to train yourself for a skill or other needs. But they often require large file downloads or streams. (Say you want to learn Python or you want to learn dancing)

Why are these things like this in Nigeria? What are we going to do about it?

Because racist white globalist nations want to keep it expensive so we would struggle to be competitive against them.

I doubt if they are any wholey owned by blacks if at all.

In any can case, all of our governments since after Abacha was poisoned, has been controlled by the white racist globalist nations. Therein lies our main obstacle to development.

You are correct.

If an indigenous ISP like Glo will collaborate with Startimes or Even inspire Channels to digitise, or manage DStv.

We would be singing another song already.

But I want to know the technology and technicalities behind the scenes of providing data network. How can our generation take up the mantle.

That's where I want this discussion to go actually.

[quote author=Ajibade123 post=89337689][/quote]That is no evidence Bro anybody can put up that info on the web.

The fact that there is not a single black person on GLO board of directors shows Adenuga is just a figure head used to deceive us that GLO is indigenous.
