That Emefiele guy is one mischievous individual who is hell bent on seeing people suffer.
We must not all get bald head like him. The rate at which I think and strategize now calls for concern, and the thing is seriously affecting my hairs.

The Senate as a matter of urgency block every move to hike data prices.
These people are no longer leaders but killers

As anger trails NCC directive to telcos to hike tariff

Nigerians have reacted angrily to the recent directive by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to telecom operators to increase the tariff for data services, with several of them calling on the National Assembly to intervene in the matter.

In reaction to the NCC directive, MTN has started sending out bulk messages to its subscribers alerting them of the planned increase. The text message read: “Dear customer, please be informed that from 1st Dec, some MTN data tariffs will be increased to reflect the new rates set by the NCC to operators. Thank you.”

Sources indicate that the new rate could see subscribers of MTN, GLO, AIRTEL & Etisalat paying as much as N1000 for 500 megabytes instead of the 1 gigabyte, 1.5 gigabytes or 2 gigabytes they currently get, depending on the network.

There could be charges for other telecom services in the country in order to meet the reported proposition by Godwin Emefiele, the Central Bank Governor, for a tax from mobile phone users in the country as part of efforts to address the economic recession.


Many subscribers who reacted to the issue via their twitter handles wondered why NCC would seek to bring more hardship on Nigerians who are battling to survive the economic recession. They called on Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to stop the draconian directive by NCC.


The Senate President in a short message on his Twitter handle has promised that the Senate would intervene.

Senator Shehu Sani was among those who condemned the planned increase. “At a time telecom companies are still making billions in profits despite the recession, increasing tariff on data services is simply about extorting more from the people for data after paying more for electricity,” Senator Sani wrote.


Henry Ezeanya wrote: “can you people kindly look into the NCC's hike in data charges. Market force bringing prices down, but NCC wants it up..”

Seyi Benz: “they want to gag us by increasing tariff so we can't come online n harangue them on bad governance. It's a ploy.”


Judith Hanrankis : “sir, am a student that still manage to subscribe with 1500 for my assignments, pls I can’t afford this NCC new rate,do something”.


David Olar tweeted: “Pls #SaveOurSoul @bukolasaraki Call Tariffs should be cheaper @NgComCommission can not be acting a script of incompetent.”

Olumide: “still wondering how people in NIGauthority think, other countries: almost free wifi, Nigerian govt. data4d rich”.


Umar. S: “Pls sir, don’t let them hike it. Nigerians are already feeling the heat.”

Nwachukwu Ugochukwu: We trust you to act fast on this as usual. Thanks Mr President.


Kazzem Mossa Tijani: “Enough of these extortions. Salary is not increased. Salary is not regular and everything is just going up. What a country. It seems NCC is not experiencing recession. God save us from these heartless people.”


Olushola Olufolabi: “cheap cost of reliable communication enables good business, good business translates to good economy growth”

In a short reply to the numerous tweets, Saraki confirmed that the Senate will look into the data tariff increase. “Will do”, the Senate President said.

I think we need to start pelting or throwing garbages, eggs, pure water, tomatoes and stones at some of our leaders who want to inflate hardship on d massas.

Pls share for it to get to all citizens.

With all the unfulfilled pre election promises and rants that these govt capitalized on to hijack the presidential seat, it is so bewildering that they could still have the gumption to make life more brazen for already economically devastated Nigerians..
Could NCC please justify their main aim of issuing such an anti people directives..

Bunch of vagabonds at the helms of affair!!!

Re: Senate Pledges To Intervene In Plans To Increase Cost Of Data by Nobody: 10:15pm On Nov 29, 2016
where will the excess money from data go? into the telecommunications pocket (they are already making billions of profit), directly into NCC accounts ?? (it will simply be looted) from telecom to govt through tax? (they know how to avoid tax using tax loophole).

What is the aim
to increase data quality?? (same was promised of electricity)
to increase telecom tax??
to make data less affordable? ? to reduce online criticism and bashing


can they pls tell us why and where the money will go

This Buhari govt just want hardship for ordinary Nigerians nearlly in all area. Why anti-people policy, putting smiles on faces is not your aspirations ? Or is this how u want to solve our economy problem. Even if we cant deliver ourselves from these anti people policy, i want you people in govt to remember there is God who hears the cry of the poor. Remember "increase in data tarrif will directly affect price of some things"
