See The Biggest Prank Of The Year In Nigeria So Far And Who Did It... by zyonnista(op): 10:19am On Sep 25, 2016

so i stumbled on this and i have to share
"Lovely Sunday to you darlings. We all know how much we need data in our lives that it's more or less turning to an addiction, We can't risk staying offline for even a single Day because by the time you get back who know "Donald Trump might have become a running mate for Hilary Clinton' . Lol, did you just scream Hell No!! Also Its no surprise how much we have come to love free stuff ...as a Nigerian its become a part of us..llike when you hear that MTN is giving out 20GB worth of data for just 20 Naira. Seriously. it's not like its their anniversary or anything.
But that did not stop my amazing country boys and girls from giving it a shot. The process required users to
Dial *298*2*2#
Choose Xtra Data
Select Option 8
Voila 20GB data succesfuuly subscribed plus 25700 Naira Credit.

LOL..As you can imagine lots of users attempted that with over 200 Naira, but it yielded no results as they could not use the data to browse or even text. This should be tagged "Naija's Prank of the Year" .
According to YemiOlas Blog it states that this prank was aimed at Nigerians and thanks to them the company became 14 trillion Naira Richer.

My Question Should Nigerians be asking for a refund of their 20 Naira or 200 Naira whichever be the case, or should this serve as a deterrent against those who are addicted to using Cheats for Data or getting what they want against spending for the original service?

Please Leave your comments below.. "

In as many years that I av being an MTN subscriber, I av never known MTN to celebrate their anniversary with any form of freebie or whatsoever...

Re: See The Biggest Prank Of The Year In Nigeria So Far And Who Did It... by Ifedayosteven(m): 3:21pm On Sep 25, 2016
14 trillion naira richer?!? Current Mtn subscribers in Nigeria is less than 60million. Even if everybody fell for it, 60m *20 is 1.2billion naira. At least if you must post anything online, use ur initiative to judge the grandiosity of ur claim.

After loading the airtime, no be MTN still get the money? How using 20 bucks to pay for something out of possibly 100 bucks airtime is an additional bonus to MTN is wat i dont get. They already made their dough d sec u bought the credit if u ask me.
