Who Do We Offend In This Country?.gosh by Hailman(op): 8:43am On May 19
Good morning guys, I'm forced to share this here out of boiling mind, pls what is my offense or can I know my offense why everything is going hard against my survival here. Not even asking for more anymore, just survival and to manage my life till hope comes if ever greedy and selfish people would allow that.

This morning I was having a friendly video call on watsapp and I noticed series of sms from mtn about my data been dried, I had to hang off call and checked the consumption only to see this.

Days ago I had this video call to same caller that lasted over an hr and I was charged less than 40mb on Airtel line

Surprisingly this morning I had a call again to same caller that lasted less than 45mins and mtn drained over 400mb from me.

Nigerians pls can someone explain things to me here?
Can someone really calm me down with good reason why I was charged this heavy?

I'm really pained

Country that don't work in most cases is known as Nigeria.


I have been trapped for more than 4 years.
My subscription is every 3 weeks and a heavy data consumer.


Airtel is ripping me off!

The actual culprit might be a background app. Check your data/app usage

The culprit could also be the quality of the video call. Honestly, I cannot imagine a 10 minute video call consuming less than 100MB. Anything video related consumes HUGE amount of data. The data usage MTN is showing is about right. There may be an issue on how Airtel is charging for the call.

This is a very serious issues, please get your lawyer involved as soon as possible, you need to Sue the hell out of MTN, they deserve no mercy from we Nigerians.

I rarely use MTN. I use Glo both for data and calls. But sometimes when that their madness starts, you will feel like disposing the SIM.

I attached the screenshot which was the real issue about a video call of les than 40mins taking over 430mb whereas longer calls of over 1 hour takes less than 30mb from another sim and not about general data consumption or background apps

Nothing like video call quality, I've over 20 video calls history of over 1hr duration on my phone and non of them takes over 35mb within such time

Only to buy data from mtn and next thing I had was 44mins call for 430mb.
Omo I never see this kind thing all my life
