Oh yes it is! And I called them already to let them know I will be doing this for the next 5days.

And honestly, I will just like to know if anyone has this same issue I am about to highlight. Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt.

So I subscribe to the Premuim data plan (that 19800 own ooooh) and the policy on this ‘Premium plan’ is that after one exhausts 80GB in a month, internet speed is throttled down to 512Kbps from what’s ever it was before.

So I know and signed up for this, right?

Now last month, on exhausting my 80GB usage point. I wiped the data counter on my modem (and by the way, it’s the new modem they just started selling) paid another 19800 (no be say the money easy like that, but I need my internet to be smooth). Just this morning, I just noticed my IG videos stop playing seamlessly, YouTube takes an age to load, Netflix loads for like 30min and then plays for like 3min.

Need I say at this point that my data counter on my modem reads 63GB. So I just assume it’s some downtime that will be fixed in no time. So I didn’t fret per se.

Fast forward all day to this night and I was still in the same buffering circle. So I decided to call, in my mind so that someone will officially tell me they have downtime and maybe apologize and promise that I will be up and running in no time.

I was kidding myself.

The ‘customer care’ agent that picked (she sounded like she was in her kitchen) asked for my username and told me I had exhausted 80GB and that my speed is now at 512kbps.

Hian! You say wetin

That’s when all the queens in me resurrected, and then she went in about how my counter is wrong and am like, how ? And if it is, whose fault is that, mine ?
And the clueless ‘customer care’ agent (they are all clueless, trust me) said she really can’t answer to that, yadi yadi yah.

Long story short she can’t help me!

Gbese !!!

So while am on a mission to call out smile all weekend (I can even work this weekend now) I will like to know if anyone has experienced this, or this is just an isolated case and something is prolly wrong somewhere.

But before then as far as I am concerned, smile NG is fraudulent.

It’s actually and economic crime, I should tweet at EFCC, abi ?

As other African countries follow closely from statistics, and given our level of corruption in that sector that most likely has paved way for the lack of upgrade of most of our oil processing facilities. We just might no longer be the big brother of oil in Africa anymore. I personally av seen some of the facilities we got and I know we ar behind the world. Only the oil servicing companies boast of som new upto date mechanism of oil production. We even produce below our own estimated 2.2million bbl per day. Let's see how these plays out.

You are so predictable. I knew someone somewhere would throw in Obama's wife as a beacon for high rolling by first ladies and you did not fail to deliver.

As I have said before , the battle for the soul of this country will not be won on the internet. It will be won out there on the streets and in the cities and villages. Many Nigerians who genuinely want change and are prepared to work for it now spend a lot less time on the web and a lot more on the streets telling people to justify their decision to vote for the ruling party over the past 14 years. The results have been interesting. People are beginning to ask probing questions. We are getting somewhere.

For every minute that is spent countering your propaganda on the web, that is one less minute of valuable time spent in educating the Nigerian voter on the reasons why he has to take his destiny in his hands and kick out the ruling party. Nonetheless, some of your lies will not be left unchallenged.

The American taxpayer can afford to fund Madame Obama's holidays and whatnot. After all, the USA is rich. The USA is an industrial economy. Her currency is the world's reserve currency. She has a veto on the UN Security Council and is also a nuclear power. US manufactured exports and services run into trillions of Naira . Both the US government and privately owned companies have annual R & D budgets running into, again, trillions of Naira.

Despite all the above, the US is still a country in crisis with a trillion dollar budget deficit, widening poverty, rising racial tension & income inequality and no universal healthcare. With all of the USA's wealth and power, some US taxpayers have a problem with their government financing Michelle Obama's holidays, deploying a massive security cordon around her etc. And you say Nigerians should remain mute about their own first lady 'problem'?


You asked what is wrong with the people in this country. You sir, are the problem. The good thing is that the final solution is on the way. . .

well said... but plsz where is this final solution, would love to know the route its taking...
