They’ve been draining data without telling Nigerians’
What’s new ?

Realguyman1:
They opted for other local service because other local service was also good enough. U urself, can u comfortably switch from Mtn to glo? Airtel is not a local service provider and their network is rubbish as well.

Other service providers like starlink and co are not local service and their services aren't for the comomon people, and much percent of Nigerians fall into the category of common people and so that's why people using Mtn network can't opt out from it easily

The Chief Executive of MTN Nigeria, Karl Toriola, has said the telecommunications firm has sent a proposal to the Nigerian Communications Commission for a 100 percent service tariff increase.

He disclosed this during an interview on Arise TV on Thursday.

However, the CEO expressed that it remains uncertain whether the Nigerian Communications Commission, the telecom regulator, will approve the proposal owing to existing economic hardship in the country.

“We’ve put forward requests of approximately 100 percent tariff increases to regulators.

“I doubt they’re going to approve that quantum of increases because they are very, very sensitive to the current economic situation in the country,” Toriola said.

This comes amid heightened speculation of an imminent telecom service tariff hike in Nigeria, this year.


The Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Gbenga Adebayo, recently threatened a shutdown of operations without a tariff hike.

However, telecom subscribers rejected any move to hike tariffs.

You can be anything online

I doubt you are ok. 99 percent of APC supporters are poverty stricken lots that want to drag everyone to their level, and you don’t look like you belong to the other 1 percent who are politicians.

Again, you are really stupid if you think government is run by your wishes prayers.

You can’t be thinking like this and be Ok.
You are the one that is most stupid. U see. U are the one that is crying here
If u re ok. U should not be showing ur foolishness online

You talk like you're being paid by MTN. How long will you guys keep defending indiscriminate, arbitrary tariff increments all in a bid to "ridicule" the government? 100% increment? Haba. That's besides all the hidden charges that makes a 1min airtime finish in 40 seconds. If I remember correctly this was how you people kept defending DStv those days until their greed spiraled out of control and everyone started looking for alternatives.

I find some words off putting like Nigerians are resilient, I asked what's resilient about a group of people who can't hold her leaders accountable but would rather device a coping mechanism to carry on in the face of the failure of the elected government, it's pitiful, man.

Doubling or tripling the hustle isn't even proportional again because the cost of basic stuff in the market isn't pocket friendly anymore. Until we elect government who are ready to be held accountable we will keep playing the game of musical chairs.

ZombieDredd:
I tell you.

Capping "double your hustle" like it's a big flex with classist mentality.

Nigerians are basically a defeated people

Edygrin:
Do these people care at all?
These companies are busy paying their directors hundreds of millions of Naira annually but are always in a rush to increase tariffs, not even by 10 or 20% but by 100%, forgetting what Nigerians are going through right now.

If they're no more interested in the Nigerian market they should sell up instead of passing their frustration to Nigerians who are going through worst daily.

SmartPolician:
I cannot blame them. Just imagine that the value of naira has depreciated by over 200% since Escobar brought his cursed administration to this country.

These are multinational companies that repatriate their funds to their headquarters in USD. Their earnings have since that time been slashed by over 200% - thanks to a president who knows zilch about leadership.

What I find really disturbing is that MTN spends 50% of their profits powering their base stations across the country. It takes a lot of guts to do business in this country.

It's a blessing in disguise for distracted people. You're supposed to go to the internet with a streamlined view of what you want to get from it. Instead of going there without a plan.

Imagine going to the market without knowing what to buy. You go to social media and you're just scrolling like someone who's brain has been hijacked by another entity.

Possession doesn't happen when you're flying with a broom stick at night. It also happens when you find yourself doing something you know is detrimental to your health, but keep doing it regardless... smoking, mindless social media binging, masturbation and so on

This news is same as when people complain that the price of sugar has gone up...
When all I see is a blessing that the price of diabetes had gone up.

"The price of vegetable oil has gone up. What do I do?"

That's a trigger for you to look for alternative that are healthy and less expensive.
Or where do you think vegetable oil cones from?
You think vegetable oil comes from crushed vegetables huh?


PS: this might affect a lot of companies but it'll give room for alternatives, instead of transferring costs on customers.
