nairaman66: So, why is OP comparing Nigeria to America? Or you didn't notice it.. Look....data is cheap here. Very cheap. What we should be doing to make it cheaper is to find ways of bringing in more and more investors...so that competition crashes the price a la India. 2 Likes |

benqo01:It's an IPTV broadcast company that has removed data access cost for Nigerians. Meaning you don't need to buy data to watch after subscribing. It's Unlimited for the entire duration of your subscription. |

historyles: Na your own be that! Next time when you calculate the average income, also calculate the average cost of living. Do Nigerians spend $1,000 per WEEK on rent? What about other basic things. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Techguy96:look at what you are saying. Private jet owners in Nigeria are more than 1000,not to talk of ordinary $10k. Millions of legit workers in Naija earn far more than that. It is the population of the poor ones that makes it look like almost all Nigerians are poor,but that is not true. Even in those countries you are talking about, the people earning $5k dollars a month are not also much compared to those who earn less than that 3 Likes 1 Share |

Modrov: The false equivalence in the OP’s statements is exposed through these; 1. Overseas there are minimum or no downtime for data access. 2. Data companies overseas are true to their words- UNLIMITED DATA does not have a threshold like we do in Nigeria. 3. Power supply stability- You are able to access data anytime of the day due to constant electric supply. We do not have power here in Nigeria. 4. No flimsy, network disruptions overseas! You know what we have here in Nigeria..! 5. Security- The list goes on and on... 1 Like |

historyles: Thats why I advise people to Japa live or by internet. Make sure you buy and sell in $$ and boycott UAR completely. When you earn in USD, you will love Nigeria but if you earn in Naira, thats sorrow. Most so called Yahoo boys beg for alms online but because, the alms comes in USD, they get rich. Someone can easily dash you 3k$ but its 1.5m here. Brothers and sisters, channel your energy online if Visa no gree come. |

thebosstrevor1:You should actually be kicked out of this place. Your posits are only fit for worthless BMC whatsapp groups. How can you ask what has purchasing power got to do with data? Is data shared for free? Don't people pay for it? Can an almajiri on the streets of Kano, or an individual in an IDP camp afford to pay for even dirt cheap data? Can someone who is struggling to survive on 30k a month with rising costs, afford to splurge on data to access the web conveniently? |

Pierocash: Why will u earn $1k a month in Nigeria? Is that ur currency? U r just making comparisons as if u r holding a wrap of Indian hemp on d other hand. If u want to compare, say ... Its better I earn 300,000naira in Nigeria than to earn 5,000 $ in America. If I'm to choose, I'll go with living & earning In America. There's more to life than just money. U wake 100% sure that no Fulani man will kill u. U hear good discussions and not discussions revolving around cows, opening a ministry for cows, grazing routes for cows, RUGA, etc. When ur right is abused, u can call d police n trust their decisions. As a Nigerian, I'm even scared of buying a car cos I still look young (I'm 28). Cos its either the police arrests u and say u r an IPOB guy (then steal ur car while u remain in prison) Or they call u a yahoo boy. Or they plant Indian hemp in ur car , then still accuse n arrest u. Try googling "list of failed states" You'll see Nigeria on d list. Nigeria is a failed state. But I still love my country Nigeria. God bless Nigeria. God bless our darling president. |

MikeMicheal: Yeah, cos you're used to it. Example: Mtn data costs 10k for 40gb per month. That's 120k in a year for 480gb. If you get the yearly plan though, 100k gives 1000gb. This means 10k would be giving you 83gb. So here's the question: what's the actual value of that 10k data? Is it 40gb or 80gb. That 100k plan is not a giveaway for them, I'm sure. The actual value of that 10k plan is probably closer to 100gb+. We are so conditioned to the current system (and most of us have nothing to compare it to) it seems fair that we're paying what we currently do. And they'll come out with some"bonuses" which we consider generous when they're in fact just handing down a trickle of what they've looted 1 Like |

Data in Nigeria is expensive not only that but corruption also took part in the whole scenario. its funny how everyone is comparing abroad with Nigeria. Can you compare Nigerias shitty broadband abi bandwidth speed with that of abroad .can you compare minimum wage and affordability of data in those countries. With the equivalent of 3000 naira in some parts of europe you probably get unlimited data for a month . Operating on weak infrastructure and still charging people alot on top data is just nonsense. a favor go and see how much airtel sells their data bundle in India and then the last time i checked 1gb in nigeria is much like 500mb or less in other countries |

Re: Cost Of Data In Nigeria Is Very High. Not Cheap by socialmediaman: 2:48pm On Sep 09, 2021 |
nairaman66: Take Cambodia for example. Their population is 16 million (Nigeria is 201 million), their minimum wage is N72,000 (Nigeria is 30,000). The cost of 1GB data is $2.00 (Nigeria is $2.74). From your summary they have more purchasing power which means they can afford higher rates, and less population which means less competition. So why isn't their data more expensive? |

Re: Cost Of Data In Nigeria Is Very High. Not Cheap by philip0906(m): 2:50pm On Sep 09, 2021 |
thebosstrevor1:There is something called a benchmark. Your country's trade, earnings, standard of living & economy, is benchmarked against the dollars. It's why your country is the poverty capital of the world because a majority of the citizens live on less than $1 a day. So your question is preposterous and a foolish one. The purchasing power of an American means they can conveniently afford data while the purchasing power of Nigerians, have continued to dwindle since the despotic Buhari came to power, which means data, food, living, is becoming more expensive as more and more Nigerians take a hit in their income. 2 Likes |

Fuckyoumod: US dollars, of course...which is what was used in the original chart. Malawi uses kwacha...not dollars. No vex which school you go?

If my discussion is dull...why do you feel threatened by it? By the way, good afternoon. |
