This will greatly affect the SE as the business environment there is high.

All thanks to Ipob, ESN, UGM and obedients.

What we sow we will reap.

I dont have any pity as far as SS, SW, NC, NE, NW are safe with this policy

Good. Lagos State collects humongous amounts of taxes with nothing to show for it in anyway.


If you think something is going on in Lagos State you need your head examined....then a visit to Durban South Africa with the same topography as Lagos State will change your mental condition.... Lagos State is simply a large slum
just like your village is a slum ;Di really dont know what brought lagos into this if not for your obsession , out of 36 state and Fct, you just chose to masturbate on any news that does not relate to lagos, the same set of cursed savages that neglected their region in search of greener pasture thereby over crowding the place with there osu brother and sister. If your savage family had stayed home dont you think lagos will me less crowded of you mad people and we can now compare with durban? You better hit your head on the wall to reset your leaking brain so you can think appropriately....Asinwin grin

Way to go.
The Same needs to apply to taxes accrued from sales of alcohol too. States that destroy alcoholic products in the name of shari'a should not get shishi from revenue generated from such.
Well said

With the way he said it

It means northern states should pay more because the environment over there is not friendly

But we all know that is not going to be the case because na we south south them dey bill pass for everything

Exactly. And they don't use the service as much as we do.

Geolocation services?
Abi simcards can tell what state you are in while making calls or browsing the internet?

that's perfectly normal as long it is coming from the state specific taxes and call routing cost.

Why not? However equity also demands that if you price at state level, the licencing should also be at state levels. States should have the right to choose companies that can offer their citizens value services at optimum price. So they must be able to auction telco licences too.

The decentralisation should be on both the side of the consumer and the provider for a free equitable market.

Perfectoooo...e-government and AI powered citizens will distabilize the emilokans and the bulabarians, consequently end stealing of money and taxes. Example, Lagos will pay through there nose for multiple taxation.

The prospect of Nigerians paying different prices for telecommunication services in different states within the country could have several negative implications, image all these below

Inequality: It may lead to inequality among Nigerians, with those in wealthier states having better access to affordable communication services compared to those in less developed states. This could further exacerbate existing economic disparities.

Consumer Confusion: Differing pricing structures across states could confuse consumers and make it challenging for them to compare and choose the best plans. It might also lead to unexpected costs when traveling or moving between states.

Economic Disincentive: Higher prices in certain states could disincentivize investment and economic development in those areas. Telecommunication services are essential for business growth, and higher costs could hinder economic activities.

Regulatory Challenges: Managing and enforcing different pricing structures in different states could pose regulatory challenges for the Nigerian government. It might require complex oversight and potentially lead to legal disputes between telecom companies and regulatory authorities.

Market Fragmentation: The telecom market might become fragmented, with different providers offering different services and prices in different states. This could lead to a lack of competition and hinder innovation and service quality.

Access to Information: Unequal access to affordable communication services can hinder the dissemination of information, particularly in emergencies or during public health crises. Access to reliable communication is crucial for public safety and access to healthcare information.

Impact on Businesses: Businesses that rely on telecommunication services could face varying operational costs depending on their location. This could affect their competitiveness and ability to expand into different regions.

To address these potential issues, it would be important for regulatory authorities and telecommunications companies to carefully consider the implications of such pricing variations and work together to find a balance that ensures affordable and accessible communication services for all Nigerians while also allowing for a competitive telecom market.

That's because the file is not 1.5gb but probably 1.9 because of redundancy. Coupled with the browser running background interference to secure packet connection and exchange so that your download doesn't fail, you'll probably use 2.3gig for the whole affair, if you have multiple tabs in your browser open, they'll keep refreshing in the background to more data. If you have active apps, they'll also latch on, pop ups will also suck. All from your end, no one 'sucks' your data.
