Airtel Nigeria and the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, have collaborated to raise awareness for the commemoration of the World Blood Donor Day as Employees of Airtel under the banner of the Employee Volunteer Scheme organized a blood donation campaign to alleviate the plight of patients in hospital beds.

During the donation, a total of fifty six pints of blood were donated by fifty six employees in five hours, twenty six minutes.

According to Airtel, the donation demonstrates Employees commitment to touching lives and readiness to always go the extra mile in creating positive impact in the communities where it operates.

World Blood Donor Day has been celebrated annually since 2004, with the aim of improving the safety and adequacy of national blood supplies by promoting a substantial increase in the number of safe, voluntary, unpaid donors who give blood regularly.

Airtel Nigeria recently crashed the price of their data service making it the most affordable in the country.

This has not gone unnoticed and Nigerians have taken to twitter to share reasons why they love Airtel with the hashtag #Airtel_Why.

Check out some of the best tweets from the trend.

This is surprising as I am Airtel user and my data never runs out quickly. You should probably check that your apps are not on autoupdate or probably there is something else draining your data.

This is surprising. It will be nice of the poster to give us an entire story of what happened. Airtel have some of the best customer care around. On my last visit to their help centre I got my issue resolved in less than 10 minutes. So it's really surprising hearing this.

That's a week without her asking her bank to place a restriction on her account. Also, she apparently didn't say anything about whether she lost her atm card or not. Remember you need the last four digits to confirm a transaction

But the OP's Sim was swapped for almost a week before Airtel could do anything about it. So it is very possible they had enough time to take 400k from her account.

One can argue that it is easy to get the identity of the thief by tracing the account but you well know there are many out there who have been declared wanted for years without being caught.

You're saying the same things too. Did they steal her atm card? If yes, did she ask her bank to block it? If she checks well I'm sure she'll find out its someone close to her that pulled the stunt. Cases like this are almost always perpetuated by close relatives. She should just take the right step and contact them. So far I've been with them they've proven to be a fab network. It's jut sad that happened to her.

You don't need those details for mobile transfer, all you need is the transfer code for your bank and some digits on your atm card ...shekina!!!!

Oh wow. She should reach out to Airtel immediately. They'd get this fixed for her. A close friend once experienced something of this nature on another network and got it fixed. Meanwhile this is a wake up call for everyone to guard their data and information jealously. It could have been worse than this. This lady should also accept some responsibility. Who loses their phone, their atm cards and access to their emails. GTB has multiple layers of security when transferring money. Did she block her atm card to render the last four digits invalid. Did she inform her bank to stop all online transactions on her account. A closer scrutiny of this story will show there's so much the lady isn't saying
