Hmmmmmmmmm. No comments.

Very few have the capacity to be selfless and truly love another. Most people choose self preservation

Good question. I cant remember

Oh well, it happens. Get yourself tested, start HIV PrEP if negative. If positive, it isn he emd of the world. Adhere to your meds, use condoms and you will be fine

PJ123:
It was actually the handwork of you Igbos to extract this from this man's interview.

Go and watch the whole interview.

It was a beautiful interview. The man passionately defended the policy reforms and admitted the vulnerable are being targeted for social intervention as some of these vulnerable spend 120%of their income.

Go and watch it on YouTube and be taught!!!

A lot of heated comments today. I understand.

It's a common script. Your case is no different from that of most Nigerians I've interacted with. They make claims without evidence about issues they know little or nothing about, and lie effortlessly.

There is a fundamental difference between raising legitimate concerns, questioning a claim, and presenting an unverified allegation as fact.

Criticism should be guided by facts, supported by verifiable evidence, and expressed responsibly. The pursuit of truth requires not only questioning others but also being willing to substantiate our own claims.

Spend your time reflecting on how to make the world a better place.

As long as you are happy, I am

It's worse

Rutherinspace:
I think we need to be precise about the issue being discussed because you appear to be digressing by introducing cost and user complaints into an argument that was specifically about the rate of data depletion. You may want to reread the article to understand it better.

The issue was never about cost.
The issue was never about data-depletion complaints, which are about 0.02% of subscribers
The issue was that no one could verify that the depletion rate exceeded the stated threshold.

There are four distinct issues here that should not be conflated. I'll educate you.

1. High data consumption versus cost

The amount of data consumed and the cost of that data are two different variables. The cost may be high because data is expensive, a user is on a particular tariff, or the user consumes a large volume of data. None of these factors, on its own, establishes that the company's service consumes data at an abnormally high rate. The question of cost was never the issue under discussion.


2. Rate of consumption versus cost of consumption

Even if a user demonstrates that a certain amount of data was consumed and establishes how much it cost, that still does not establish that the rate of depletion was excessive. Cost tells us the financial consequence of the data consumed; the rate of consumption tells us how much data was used over a given period or under specific conditions. These are different measurements requiring different evidence.

3. User complaints versus technical verification

The existence of complaints establishes that users have concerns or have experienced something they consider problematic. Complaints may be a legitimate reason to investigate, but they are not, on their own, proof that the company exceeds its stated data-consumption threshold. That requires measurements and a methodology that can be independently examined and reproduced.

4. Rate of consumption versus rate of depletion

This is the central issue. The question was whether the company's data consumption exceeded the stated threshold. That is a measurable, technical claim that requires evidence. What methodology was used to measure the rate of consumption? What was the stated threshold? What actual consumption rate was recorded? And how was the application's data usage isolated from other sources of consumption?

If no one has demonstrated, through a verifiable methodology, that the consumption rate exceeds the stated threshold, then the claim that it does remains unsubstantiated. Evidence that users consume large amounts of data does not, by itself, establish that the service violates that threshold.

A strong investigation should begin with measured data consumption, a clearly defined baseline, controlled testing, and reproducible results. The conclusions should follow from the evidence rather than precede it.

Honestly, we can go back and forth on this matter with no logical conclusion. I prefer to spend that time doing something else. Cheers

Why?

Rutherinspace:
Interesting. You stated that you independently verified that the company consumes user data at a rate higher than what is acceptable.

Let's stick to the science.

What exactly did you verify?
What methodology did you use?
Would you be willing to make the methodology, raw measurements, test conditions, and supporting evidence available so that others can assess whether your conclusion is justified?

These are not intended to dismiss your concerns but to establish the factual basis for them.

Enjoy

According to BusinessDay, citing Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) data, MTN received 12,212 data-depletion complaints between January and June 2026, more than Airtel, Glo and T2mobile combined (11,184).

MTN also organised a public initiative called Data on Trial in June 2026 to address complaints about rapid data consumption and billing transparency.
On pricing, MTN lists a 10GB monthly plan at ₦4,500, compared with Airtel's ₦4,000. This supports saying MTN is more expensive for some comparable bundles, rather than declaring it the most expensive network overall.

True, and yet here we are, with our concerns continually validated by the sheer incompetence of our leaders.

HallahGeisher:
Diabolic liars . If not for the ncc who have since relaxed apart from data finishing fast what of call credit and moreso, anytime you call their call center they will tell you they are experiencing system shut down , a word that has been recorded into the brain of the innocent service agents .

I LOLed at the last statement. Poor innocents

Rutherinspace:
Have you independently verified the claims you're making, or has a credible independently third party verified them?
There's a difference between questioning a company's position, disagreeing with its claims and outrightly accusing it of lying. Such a serious accusation should be supported by verifiable evidence not merely assumptions, opinions or speculation.

One word: YES. Their rates are among the highest, if not the highest, in the industry. Secondly, the very fact that the company has felt compelled to address this issue suggests that it has received numerous complaints, perhaps far more than other telecommunications companies.

On the flip side, MTN has the largest subscriber base, which could partly explain the volume of complaints. Nevertheless, the concerns are sufficiently widespread to warrant greater transparency regarding how subscribers' data is measured and consumed.

Please leave the young man alone.

Lies and more lies. The govt should do something about this

The video clip is strangely hilarious. So, in a nutshell, married women should be grateful to her, since she is practically a mobile STD tester. These are truly the end times! 😂

Oh well, with great sexual risks come great STDs. 🕷️

The gift that keeps on giving.

At least the governor will assist in footing the bill

I applaud Atiku for always asking the hard questions. Though both may be black, we all agree that one is significantly blacker

Nice. Love seeing accomplished women particularly in the education sector. Rest in peace ma

Hmmmmm. Do people still buy Christmas clothes or pay tithes?

There are 5 arms here. Sexual intimacy requires at most 4. Kindly confirm

I guess most will hate what they can't afford easily

You have got to admire the arrogance. Unbelievable

Well with agentic AI, one can do anything these days. Well done young man

Lost three wives!

If not for bad leadership, India is one of the countries that won't come closer to Naija in terms of economic and infrastructural developments.

Very true

Yes one can if they are not exclusively breastfeeding the child

Pitting pedal oedema. Heart failure, kidney failure etc

So, is Ukraine and Zelensky Strong? Or very Weak?
Does going around begging for Money and Weapons, even when you are humiliated by Trump, shows you are strong?
A Country that cannot pay the salary of his Soldiers, except the President goes around begging for Money from the EU and America, Is that a Strong Country?

A Country that was told by an American Senator (Graham Linsday) that "he should fight till his last Ukrainian Citizien is killed" and is doing so, just as his Population is halved, land is halved, Ports are Closed, Capital is destroyed and he himself hides inside bunkers, 90% of the time (except when flanked by President of another NATO Country!), is that one a Strong Country?
Is that a strong President or a Stewpid President? Sacrificing your own People for the ego of another Country?

Let us leave Propaganda for APC, Ukraine should have begged Russia and signed the ceasefire, immediately Russia agreed to the Istanbul Ceasefire Agreement but he too wants to flex Muscle that he does not have.

Small Ukraine wants to roll with the Main Big Boys like America, Russia, China, even when upcoming Boys like Germany, Britain, France, Turkey are not daring to dare Russia?

Zelensky is just DELUSIONAL, he thinks Ukraine is a "World Power", simply because it has American and European backing, not knowing that it is just an aggressive Chihuahua.

We are saying the same thing. Trump has no respect for those he considers weak

It's been years I used tomato paste in my dishes. Same goes for red meat

Rest in peace Francis
