Pierocash: A Tx engineer earns average of 8-10k dollars a month in the US . In Nigeria , you earn like 1+2k dollars . A job that earns you 1k dollars in nigeira must have a level of professionalism to it and Abroad , it can easily earn you exponentially more . 1 Like 1 Share |

ivolt:Which houses are you talking about? Mansions in Maitama, Lekki or Ikoyi? Lmao!!! You're living in a bubble. For every 1 mansion in Lekki, there are hundreds of run down houses in the city centres or outskirts, where Nigerians are living. Go and look at the population of the highbrow areas and compare with the rundown parts of the city providing cheaper alternatives, so it is still an extremely negligible amount. Inflation, poverty, increased cost of living is hitting Nigerians hard and many are moving to cheaper alternatives. Don't be fooled by a handful of criminals or fraudsters buying out houses in Lekki, there are millions more living in squalor in Ikotun , Alimosho, Ikorodu etc. 1 Like |

Modrov: How will 1/30 of someone's monthly earnings not bite their pocket? Is it data they will chop or live in? Data that will not even last a week of Conservative use? You just want to lie to yourself because of those you support |

historyles:Lol!!!! I laughed till I got tired!!! Have you ever been to Ghana? I doubt! I have! Ghanaians more comfortable than Nigerians? We have the poor all over the world. Even Christ said the poor will always be with us! That fuel you think is expensive at 165 is smuggled out of Nigeria and sold at a higher price in all our neighbors! Why? The official price of PMS in those countries are a lot higher than in Nigeria! Nigeria produces more than 50% of the GDP of the whole of West Africa and you think some countries are more comfortable than Nigerians? Ghana's minimum wage was recently increased and it is laughable! Ask how much they pay for power and house rent! Well, human being don't value what they have untill they lose it. We also think the grass is greener on the other side! |

Lekan239: Things cannot be very cheap and life very hard at the same time. Have you ever heard of the term, oxymoron? One of the main reasons why life is hard is because things are expensive. With the kind of stuff some of you post, one has to question the educational system of Nigeria |
Re: Cost Of Data In Nigeria Is Very High. Not Cheap by Nobody: 4:05pm On Sep 09, 2021 |
historyles: In the central Africa republic it is even higher.it takes one quarter of your monthly income to buy one gig. And that country is poorer than us. Plus most Nigerians don't even use the internet anyway. For the last time, compared to other countries data is cheap here. Or you want free data? Then how will all the data providers pay their staff and contractors who are ordinary Nigerians like you. Sorry if it pains you Nothing goes for free. |

mfm04622: You are either very ignorant or just lie to push your points. A Ghanaian can pay their monthly house rent easily while living comfortably for the rest of the month. If most Nigerians pay house rent monthly, they will starve for the rest of the month. |

historyles: Your analysis is so wrong. You type like someone that always visit the local market to bargain price. But who told you 8 dollars for a gb data isn't expensive in the United states, you type like everybody in America is rich enough to afford an expensive data. So you are saying that because America is a rich country, expensive data will be seen as cheap data because of purchasing power, so no Americans will want a cheaper data or even try to save money or cut cost. According to your logic, you are also saying sellers in america put prices on goods because of purchasing power, something close to, lets put high price because they can afford it, to be sincere, that is not logical. lot of factors influence cost of goods and services not purchasing power. Also, purchasing power does not determines what is cheap and expensive, purchasing power determines the quantity of goods and services that can be bought with your currency in the local market. For instance, the naira has more purchasing power than than the dollar, with 2000 naira, you can buy atleast something tangible in Nigeria when compared to the dollar equivalent of the 2000 naira ( 4 dollars) in the United states. |

lordizak: The facts say they do. Lord knows i wish it wasn't like that. BBC has a very good article questioning the modalities used in setting prices for data. The summary of the article is that we in subsaharan Africa could even be paying lower for data than we do now 1 Like |

Limassol: There are 7 companies that control broadband in america, Comcast, Charter, AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink, Frontier, and Windstream Comcast and Charter control the market, so you are at their mercy in terms of price |

historyles:do not forget you are comparing the sale of data between the USA and Nigeria which is cheaper. Life is easy in USA but that comes with a fee you have to pay. Life is quite hard in Nigeria, but things are cheaper in Nigeria than in USA. What if data is sold in Nigeria same price as it is in the USA. I wonder what education you guys received in the USA 1 Like |

Re: Cost Of Data In Nigeria Is Very High. Not Cheap by ivolt: 4:24pm On Sep 09, 2021 |
philip0906:Housing prices are skyrocketing everywhere. Nobody is talking about highbrow areas. Speak to an estate agent about the cost of a decent self-contain, two-bedroom and three-bed room flat in any area that is not crime-infested and come back with your report. Do you think it is the elites that are living in the type of houses I listed above? You are funny, who told you I am talking about Lekki? I talked about rent, not purchase. I mentioned state capitals and your mind immediately goes to Lekki. How does that follow? FYI, poor and middle class also reside in your magical Lekki. If your claims are correct, then Lagos could not exist as a city. there are millions more living in squalor in Ikotun , Alimosho, Ikorodu etc.It is always entertaining when people pull random numbers to make a point. What exactly is squalor to you? 1 Like |
