na e be say data business go sell again... Father Lord I thank u for this goodnews

Thunder fire the insatiable nomad & his demonic govt! Change is a GRAND SCAM! 2019 where's thou?

Abeg wetin be the New December 2016 tweak for mtn biko? Let's go back to our tweak since they wanna increase data price

Seun the owner of nairaland will be the most affected.i am seeing a case where there would be fewer comments on nairaland.tank God for free basics i dont even need much data to surf the net

the next price they will increase is fuel

Tecnom3:
When you guys day shout, day talk upandan say that the only thing way no add money for this recession period Na data bundles.. .

Don't you know you were digging your holes

brother no be data o, na rain coat no add money o. Gold circle na still 20 card

it's a ploy by the government to reduce the number of people bashing them on social media. since they can't sensor social pass or pass a social media bill to limit our use of it then why not increase data tariff.

This should make front page

Trust2001:

I smell that too

asuustrike2009:

MTN aren't foolish on this one

No matter what, SME Data will be way cheaper compared to other regular data bundles. That's what I mean.

Jerryojozy:
What sort of nonsense is this? NCC should be scrap. our lawyers over to you

Buhari for 2019

This MTN guys sef. One day we go pursue una comot this country. shebi GLO and the rest nor need money too

What exactly is the reason for this increase now?

Why this nonsense in a time when many people are struggling?

I hate this country so much. This is bad news for those of us doing work that keeps us online all the time. I need to stock up on data right away.

Is Glo following NCC's instructions? We haven't heard anything from them. I called their customer care and they said they don't have any information about that.

Glo replied someone on their Twitter handle:

presentley:
Mtn users should call the 181 self help service number to listen to this announcement, it confirms its indeed a NCC directive and will take effect from december 1st as posted on the front page yesterday. Can our lawyers please approach the court for an injuction to @least put this wicked and inhumane proposition to hold?

ME NO DEY BEG UNA, NA UNA GO LOOSE. I GO MAKE SURE SAY EVERY BODY IS CONNECTED TO MTN CHEAT. DIS TIME AROUND NO MERCY

The message is that price will change... It may be decrease or increase. Lets just wait and see

A FAILED GOVERNMENT

olasmiles:
U dont need to start any harshtag on twitter or take this up. NCC has given a directive that all ntwrks should start selling their data at the same price and the price would be announced by NCC come first of december. I am a CCR at one the telecoms in Nigeria and i got the mail to the effect a couple of days ago at work. So lets wait and see the uniform price NCC would give

Why would the foolish NCC think uniform price is the way to go in this country?



What happened to competition?



This is outright mismanagement and stupidity.


This APC government never seize to amaze me. I mean going to arrest BDC people in other to cut down dollar exchange is the worst economic news i have ever heard in this 21st century .


dmann

I so much believe that the path Nigeria is going is to self-destruct......adieu Nigeria! We love u but dem dt hate u is more!!

Well it seems Nigerians are contented with every decision the APC government takes. It won't be a surprise to see some people defend the latest move by the NCC. My only hope lies in God for him to provide my needs. I have lost confidence in this administration only God can help us out. The worst still the APC government are not ready to relinquish power as they would do everything possible to retain power for as long as it takes.

A uniform price will force telcos to improve services. The only way they can make money now is to sell alot of data, now when everyone sells for the same price I can't price my 1gb for N500 and the service is so poor you no fit burn 500 mb.

If everyone sell @ 1gb for N500, we will all move to the person that can guarantee value for money. All telcos will begin to invest heavily into ensuring data quality, those who already have ala GLO simply need to turn the taps wide open so to speak.

I just hope my model is correct.

The alternative model would be that due to loss in revenue, the telcos are trying force consumers to pad the loses , instead of pushing for efficiency from the telcos

Tallesty1:
Nigerians go survive this so?

My brother I can relate to this your siggy...I'm tired...I don't know what to do. And it's a close friend.

No wahala nau...over to our hackers...Your job starts now.hack any fucking network.. i don't care.

another way of using d masses paying for this economic recession!!!

mtn wit their wahal a, na only una dey NCC?

shedy03:
cai, this APC govt.
by the time they are done with this country, no one soul will remain to vote APC out 2019.
God help us.

Nigerians have not seen anything yet, this is just the beginning of the change. I like the way things are going in this country, maybe that will give some of us small sense next time.

Your second and last point is the issue. They are looking to kill the common man so as to continue with their lavish style of living. Have you ever heard the saying "when the rich wants to get richer, they will come to the poor"? well that is what is playing out.

It can't be your first point, no no no. government can't have in mind to relief the stress or struggle of the poor, no no no, is practically impossible. They can't do that. And even if the government wants to do a common favour to the poor people of this nation, they don't do it for free. They can't do it for free. Something most be their for them to loot.

Checkout the favour they are doing to the IDP's and tell me if they have not looted X10 of that favour. Diverting their food and even cutting common grass for N23m. That is the nature of this government we have in Nigeria from the time immemorial. Is not about APC oooo, no no no, is the nature of our government in this country, be it APC, PDP or whatever government that is in power but APC own don too much.

Anyway i rest my case
