Had it been the information has a sourced-link, it would have been smiling on front page with lots of dismal and bismal comments, trust Nigerians.
For this kind of informations, na Source and link Lalasticlala dey check first... Before he tap him customized FP BUTTON

Where the "sauce and lick" get una now? Seun, Lalasticlala and Nairaland people need to start taking issues seriously. I see different threads on this data increase matter and I laugh because I warned them early enough, but they were looking for source and link. Make una carry una cross ooh

olasmiles:
U dont need to start any harshtag on twitter or take this up. NCC has given a directive that all ntwrks should start selling their data at the same price and the price would be announced by NCC come first of december. I am a CCR at one the telecoms in Nigeria and i got the mail to the effect a couple of days ago at work. So lets wait and see the uniform price NCC would give

You must be a CCR in "Bambiala Networks". If the network you work for is waiting for NCC to announce data price, you guys are on a long thing. NCC long ago informed Telecos of data floor price and ceiling price. So what announcements are you guys waiting for? This is same way one clown who claims to work in Glo was talking rubbish on another thread. Saying Glo won't increase price because of some stupid reasons. Let me see how Glo will breach NCC's directive!

kings09:
I remember abuleoshi who warned ppl abt it but none paid heed. Now we r forming protest

Lol... Your post reminds me of Noah and the Ark story.

With this Data issue, I have come to agree that Nigerians are their own problems. They are just too docile. This protest will start and end online. As a telecoms insider, I brought it to the attention of Nairaland early enough, but people kept saying it is not possible. Now see where they are. Make una enjoy una new data rates from December 1st. Am on the staff data platform, so na una wen no gree take actions on time go suffer am!

calyto:


You be muntula aswear.
Anyway, i don't work with NCC but i work with one of the Telcos so i'm familiar with what's happening.

Oga that you sell recharge cards does not mean you work in telecoms. From what you have posted so far, it is obvious you are a bye stander in the Telecoms industry and not in any Teleco!

Gerrie:


Guy, just attach your NCC ID Card to complete the formalities.

Welldone NCC spokesperson. Mtchew!

Abi ooh... The guy has been defending NCC's stupid action since. Useless person.

calyto:

What i mean is- Glo slashed down their data price because they can afford to do it.(They're one of the major wholesalers in Nigeria. Meaning Airtel, MTN and Etisalat buy from either Glo-1 or MainOne in wholesale price and re-sell.)

Because of traffic at peak period,telcos need to either increase their network capacity(which requires sourcing for fx), drive traffic to off-peak periods when there is low capacity utilization, or increase data price in order not to continue to be at a loss.
Since they slashed down data price,they have been loosing at least 600 million naira monthly apart from Glo so the price is not realistic.
At the end something will have to suffer;quality or quantity

I repeat, say what you know or shut up. Wholesalers ko retailers ni. If you are really in the telecoms industry, you won't post this crap. MTN does not buy anything from any teleco. Only business MTN has with other telecos is collocation of base station which is a standard practice in telecoms.

joshikenna1:

"NCC did not say anybody should increase data price;more telcos did because Glo did first.".......YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE

I thought I was the only person that tried to understand the rubbish written there. You self see the rubbish?

calyto:

If you truly are an insider, you would have known that this your statement is mixed with truth and falsehood.

1.NCC did not say anybody should increase data price;more telcos did because Glo did first.
2.Most telcos buy from wholesalers(like Glo and MainOne) and after dropping data price, they've been at a loss since then.
3.Because they will need to source for forex to buy and pay for almost everything, network quality will suffer if they continue at same price.
4.And if they insist on continuing this same way, they will have no other option than to cut down their staff strength.

Say what you know. I guess you are unaware MTN has its own submarine cable that landed in Nigeria? You can keep giving reasons and excuses, that does not remove the fact that NCC induced this increase in the price of data!

SBG04:
Stupid thread, stupid OP, irresponsible super mod that put this on front page. Just irresponsible. Day by day they're reducing d credibility of this site.

Your Drugs are finished? Take your Drugs and stop showing everybody you are a mental patient!

LieDetector:
it's increase.... MTN has removed the 100% bonus they offer for monthly subscriptions.... We're doomed bro

Leave that guy jare...N1000 is 500MB by December. that should mean decrease to him

Ugonnax:
Chineke God...Ovularia, come and took a look at what my eyes are saw. Jagede Shokoya people are broadcoasted their private business of ritualism for the world to saw.

Kwakwakwa...you killed it!

ok ooh

Franky826:
Only thing that makes Nigerians happy is about to be stripped off them.

Government why? Do you even think about the welfare of your citizens

No they don't. My question is what is NCC's business with fixing price of calls or data? In the right sense, they should support crashing the price lower. But no they are there to frustrate the common man.

bolaji3071:


@Bolded, it is YOUR. Pot calling kettle black

You can't even construct a simple sentence without proving to the world that daddy didn't prioritise your education because he had none. See your life!

Oga go find work. Nairaland.com nobi work. Stay here and be doing police. Monday is around the corner, you will continue your dropping of CV up and down!

bolaji3071:


Nitwit! You should have corrected the guy politely, you ain't perfect either

And that might be a typo. Ode

Lol... There goes another illiterate Nigerian graduate. The truth is bitter, better you guys pay attention to details especially when you are posting your usual crap online!

TruthisGOD:
Educated fool. He thinks that the mere speaking of English shows how intelligent one is. That is how the ruin the country with their warp and poor mentality thoughts. Try those kids in Physics and Maths quiz in a neutral enviroment, you'll know how intelligent they are.

If Atiku sees your comment, "he will say didn't I say it". You said That is how "the" ruin the country...
Abeg always read your comments well because Atiku is a member of Nairaland and he sees these mistakes and laughs at us Nigerian graduates!

Keneking:
Minus one

So Buhari's government could not build a case at least to contest the conviction.....useless government

If it were to be someone from the North, would he keep quiet? Nonsense

Nigerians no go kill me with Laugh. why didn't your uncle GEJ from the South save Chijoke and all the other drug barons killed in Asia when he was president? Or you think Chijoke was arrested today
Read and enlighten yourself so you don't expose your ignorance in public.

duwdu:
Lots of guys are really misinformed in this our Obodo Naija... How on earth do people expect a government to decently function without people having to pay tax on goods and services?

For what it's worth, most previous governments in our country were dubious when it came to the issue of taxes on goods and services - pretending as though there were none, or ignoring to collect them, so as not to disrupt/disturb the apple cart. That facilitates their winnng elections, when, in fact, the government anywhere can't function without taxes! As a result, you and me have been deceived — and spoilt — over the years, guys. To me, the important things is to hold the government accountable for all revenues it generates, so as to fan development.

And, to the OP: I have a feeling this will turn out to be the case of someone confusing a directive by the NCC for networks to collect lawful taxes due on data, with the expected increase in data rates as a result! I hope I'm not wrong, because then it will be sad indeed if the NCC should now start meddling in how much the networks prescribe as own base charge for own data service (before lawful taxes are applied.) In other words, God forbid a revert to the era of price control!

Competition, they say, IS good — for both business and consumer.

Good luck, everyone.

Mr Man, this is not data tax. NCC Set a Minimum price that GSM companies can charge for Data. The GSM companies currently charge lower than the Minimum price. so by December 1st, ALL GSM Companies will have to Charge the Minimum price set by NCC. This is what will lead to customers paying more for Data. Your regular N1,000 for 1.5GB wont be like that again. From December 1st, N1000 might give you 1GB or 800MB. I don't understand NCC's Business in telling Network what to charge. The Yeye NCC don't Know the Cheaper customers pay for data, the more Networks make more money and pay more taxes.This is common sense!

Emperor119:
not surprised tho dy End is near...soon if u don't have dy mark u won't recharge.

How is this your comment relevant to the topic? stop smoking weed!

Caseless:
Lies! With the competition right now, they won't contemplate that.

If you read and understand intelligently, you will comment more intelligently. The initial Post said NCC mandated ALL GSM companies to increase Data price, so how does that have to do with Competition?

asuustrike2009:
The worst government I have ever experienced is APC

Oga don't politicize the issue. Data price will increase by December 1st, it affects everybody. It should not reduced to an APC Vs PDP issue. It is this same PDP vs APC matter that the political elites use to deceive us. We are smarter now!

Lalasticlala Make this happen. Nigerians need to stop this Data Armageddon before it happens on the 1st of December!

sorextee:
Op is saying the truth.. But its d date im not sure of.. Etisalat started theirs some time back.. Other network will soon follow suit. Price of sim cards will soon go up too.

You self know the matter

MetaHuman:
Data rate or data price?

not can be foolish o. I don t trust those ediots.

Price of Data will increase. No network will offer you N1000 for 1.5GB from December 1st. I can confirm that N5000 will give you 5GB instead of 10GB. This an NCC's directive to GSM networks.

LieDetector:
And people are believing the op. Chai!

Lie "dick-tector" the joke will be on you in 2 weeks time when it is announced by the networks!
The essence of me shouting out is to get people to protest against this proposed hike in Data price. Easier to protest against NCC's induced price increment than wait till December 1st when the increment is implemented.

ehisanolu:
imagine....why would NCC mandate them to increase data rates? na wa ooo...does it mean that etisalat that stopped the BB service will later increase the rates? it is well

They have been asked to increase rate effective 1st December,2016. Even Etisalat!

As an insider in one of the GSM companies, i can reliably inform you that data rate will go up 1st December,2016. NCC has mandated all GSM Companies to raise data rates. This is sad, Nigerians should not accept it, Nigerian Government through its agencies should not make life harder for Nigerians!
N1000 Will be 500MB from December 1st 2016.

Na Hilary dem wan work with before?... useless People!

Do you have a life outside social media? You wake up daily to trol the Internet causing problems and spreading hate. I took a quick peep at your Facebook account and I wondered what kind of hopeless person is this. Madam get a life. This mumu you are doing on social media is not a life. Your parents wasted funds educating you if this is the best you can achieve with your frustrated life!
