Is this another Audio?

Which 400?

As I'm typing the price of data is still the same in December 2020 as it was in January 2020

onyechez:

FAKE NEWS, have you seen it happen.

Same way you guys have been calling all the empowerment scheme by FG....

God pass una

Glo sells 1.9GB for ₦1,000. That is about ₦490 for 1GB.

This price has been since 2019. So, no crash at all this year.

it is not how many but how long. The way network providers suck data is alarming. Nowadays 500mb is like last year 100mb

Actually, not really true. These are the factors that contribute to it. Advancement in mobile technology such a faster data ntw, higher quality phones, bigger data files and more video content.

Take for instance, 1g of data cannot be used in Facebook for 24hrs in a stretch. Why? Higher picture qualities taken by mobile phones and uploaded on Facebook, more videos on Facebook (some of high quality), Facebook apk size (and its attendant consumption of memory due to caching etc.)

Then YouTube videos (many don't know how to reduce the quality of YouTube video while watching), Instagram (full of pictures and videos, all high quality meaning more data consumption)

These are the reasons 1g of data cannot so much today compared to 5 years ago.

Worksunlimited:
As at last week... Operators haven't put the directive into motion...

Better to take this gist with a pinch of salt

I don't know about other networks but there has been rates review on Airtel.

The offer for 5k now is 20GB as against the previous 15GB.

Now that they suspended sim registration,

Hope sim swap won't be next

Next we expect sports betting companies to slash down staking amount...

They should leave data cost alone and reduce the price of cement so I can complete my building quick enough..


N4,500 a bag of cement & N9,500 a bag of POP cement is not sustainable ooo

Believe this at your own peril

Abobi
This is to help the lazy Nigeria youths stay comfortable at home n forget school
So pathetic

Lol.. How? FG don dey subsidise data?

helinues:


Enemy of progress..

If they don't slash it, same you people would still be foaming in the mouth.

Hiss

Audio slashing.

Bring proof of it

When are they crashing the price of power and fuel?

Fahdiga1:
But network providers are still selling at old prices. Is it only to be approving they know. What happens to making sure that it is implemented

data prices will be gradually reducing yearly until 2025 it is expected to cheaper at least 1Gb for 394 naira...

Hope mr president is not planning to contest for a third tenure.





Why then must it be between 2024-2025 that we will enjoy true Dividends of democracy,as regards to data slash

Urekaure:


Audio slashing.

Bring proof of it

Even for the fact that it was written in this article that it will take effect from Next year.

Choi

it will burn like fire..

Especially Airtel data. You will do 1gb data, and within a few hours, you will receive message that you have 500mb left. Then, you will get another message that you have 200mb left.

increases zooming speed by 50%

SLAVE
Bring this proof out "The Report also indicates that the cost of data in November 2020 was less than 50% of the cost of data in January 2020."

This would be nice. However, it will be interesting to see how they would enforce implementation.
The operators pay through their noses fueling generators to power their base stations, and also pay in forex for virtually all spare parts.
How then would FG just wake up and fix prices for them?

That would be no different from waking up and fixing the price for hair cuts!!!

Lol, so they said.

DontBullshitMe:
Price control is bad for capitalism.

Who is advising this Government?

Not capitalism per se but market economy.
But Nigeria has never practiced true market economy.
The only place where we even tried doing so was in the telecommunications sector until this government came with it's ill-advised controls.
In other sectors,u have unions controlling prices and we claim to be practising a market economy?Jokers.
U see transport and trade unions forcing members to charge at certain rates and stop those that try to sell or charge lower to stop operating.
If we are to practice true market economy,prices of many goods and services in Nigeria would be lower because the purchasing power of Nigerians has been totally bastardized.But since goods and services cannot truly be got at market determined prices,only at cartel or unions determined prices, Nigerians are forced to buy goods and services at higher prices.

Just another people policy.... Imagine 6gb of 1500 don't even last 2wks.... Nigeria tire me abeg

Audio reduction.
Foolish government
