Happy new month Nairalanders jooor.May this new month favour us ooo.

what do you expect from a 80years old man who Buhari made NCC chairman..

God thank you for social media o....if not wetin our eyes for dey see for this country no be here o!!

Make Thunder fire them for even nurturing such a wicked idea in first place.

You should've increased it nah. Thought that Buhari is a hard man and never yield to the plight of the masses. Na from here e for know say water done pass garri. Although me been no even plan to join una for the protest self..

How can these small players excel fully when they charged exorbitantly? Smile sim card is sold for 1k. Ntel has only 4G data facility. If you are in the area with 4G ( you are screwed). They arent fully covered in every location. Land line is dead in Nigeria.

The now defunct players(starcomms , multilinks, reltel et al) made funds through landlines but it's dead now.

duwdu:


Provided the NCC does not ram irresponsible policies down the throats of the consumer, nobody will have to appeal to MTN before it returns to the real world; Glo, for one, will show that MTN network, "pepper."

I saw the handwriting on the wall

Ksslib:
“The decision to suspend this directive was taken after due consultation with industry stakeholders and the general complaints by consumers across the country.”

Forgive my obsession with little details but I find the use of the word "and" as used in that context nothing but an act of fffuckery and stupidity from the useless body who, rather than protect consumers, have sworn an oath with the devil to torment Nigerians ( as if our suffering isn't enough already).

The wicked plan was simply reversed due to consumer outrage(which I am sure they never expected), not due to some bullshit industry stakeholder meeting which we all know never took place.

Shame on NCC. Anybody who thinks there's an imaginary body - NCC or others- whose job is to protect the interest of average Nigerians like you and me is simply on a long thing. They all belong to same cabal; they are all animals, theives who all laugh at us behind our back.

Implementing policies that will see Nigerians suffer depends on one and one thing only: how we react. If the reaction is toxic, they'll quickly organise an imaginary stakeholders meeting and cancel the policy. If it's not toxic enough - then the policy stands. PIGS

We should raise a campaign against Smile Communications, Spectranet and NATCOMS (NTEL), they are the brain behind the proposed data increase because thy saw GLO came with 4G.

If u can't compete, QUIT.
Say NO to data price increase.

Wadosky:
Smile, spectra net, ntel thought they will remain the only 4g providers and pegged the subscription money so high.GLO came and killed them off with cheap sun. They started crying cos I threw away my ntel Sim and packed up my spectra net. They led the campaign for data increase but it backfired on them and we will punish them more.
Happy new month naija

Ntel is still the cheapest by far for heavy users considering that it is unlimited for the 10k price.
That means no cap. You can effectively download or stream over 100gb data in a month.
Others should bring unlimited plans and see.

Mr Ojobo said “The price floor is not an
increase in price, but a
regulatory safeguard put in place by the
telecommunications
regulator to check anti-
competitive practices by
dominant operators,”.

This practice is common with my dear country Nigeria, where they'll not properly enlighten the citizenry because they are trying to hide something from the same people.

It now tells on them how powerful the social media is in airing the voice of the voiceless

Confusion everywhere,may God help us in this country#Happy New Month

superfelix:

sleekyjay:

A very wicked and insensitive government, other countries have cheap data or even free. Here they want to enslave us in the face of recession.

@bold, they only think one way and it's how to always milk the masses

Unimaginable123:
So NCC thought we were in a military regime that they would ask telecoms to increase data prices without consulting users

I mean it, they should go and check the certificate of those NCC officials. Most of them reason like those living in caves. It's quit unfortunate that this country could constitute such an ignoramus sets of people. Thinking of hiking the price of internet data! What a senseless idea! Why don't they think of reducing it. It's obvious that even the price level as it is, is still exorbitant compared to most developed countries.

AndyMolarAllwel:
Foolish ppl, may thunder fire all you that brought the idea initially.
BTW what is the function of this ncc

They do nothing apart from paying salaries to docile set of people employed through nepotism motivated corruption. Less I forget, they are also planning on how to fleece the masses dry not minding that Nigerians are suffering in this recession.

So as an NCC personnel, you have two jobs; stay docile while telcos fleece the masses; and further impoverished the already dying masses.

omowumeee:
Soo they would rather suffocate all Nigerians for a selected few.. this is a government against the people!

Me I tire o
These our leaders are just something else.
Trying to protect the business interest of a few by suffocating every other person.
Government againt the people...

SycophanticGoat:
You should've increased it nah. Thought that Buhari is a hard man and never yield to the plight of the masses. Na from here e for know say water done pass garri. Although me been no even plan to join una for the protest self..

After all this their written shii... I don't still understand shii. They just write, mix, and package their nonsense. Don't suspend o.. Delete the whole idea patapata

This is another pointer to the extant confusion. They might be the one lobbying for hike in price of the internet. May Devil punish all of them by wrecking down their business in their own face. Wicked maggots all are they.

Amen

It wasn't the NCC's decision not to to stop the increase but rather they were ordered by the senate to stop the telecom companies no to go ahead with the already planned increase. They should stop tellin u they did it after realising its effect.

I stand with you

Happy new month naija

Smile is the worst I tell you. Other ones like spectra net prices dey roof but smile own don burst roof and shooting for the sky.

Nigerians be Condoning Mediocrity from Time Immemorial...NCC as a Regulatory body are bunch of Criminals.They Obtain bribe from all this Network Providers at the Detriment of the Common Masses.What do they mean by small players?Now let me pick SMILE 4G as a Case Study.I am doing Business Presently in DAR es Salaam the Capital of Tanzania.And i use Smile 4G as my Network Provider.I Pay 70,000 Tsh For Unlimited Data Monthly.When i say Monthly i mean 30 full days.When you Convert 70,000 tsh to Naira,You get #10,000.When i say Unlimited it means that 8 People can connect via a wifi connection on the Smile 4G Network.Laptops,Ipads,Smartphones.That you guys are 8 does not mean the internet bundle will Expire before 30 days.And we watch movies on Netflix,You tube,Stream Live to watch EPL & Champions league.All for approximately 10,000 Naira.

If you all know what i mean.This Network Providers make a hell amount of Money out of Nigerians.The only Regulatory body which is NCC that ought to have the interest of the common masses at heart,have taken bribes to Enrich their Pockets instead of doing what is Necessary.Tanzania,Uganda,Kenya,Seychelles Rwanda & Namibia all have Unlimited internet.But if a network provider in Nigeria gives you a plan and say its unlimited,My broda just watch You-tube for 3 days and you go see say Na Scam.Our Estimated Population is over 200Million People.The highest of these countries i mentioned Population wise is Kenya with a little over 45 Million.I can only imagine how much these people are making from us Nigerians.We need to fight for our right in Nigeria and demand Justice.I rest my Case

now that we have been able to shout to their ear and they quickly withdraw their useless policy, let us start scanning for other useless policies that concern nigerian's wellbeing... this people have been milking us dry, if we no talk abt dat data now,Na so Dem go just collect all our money finish... let the revolution begin oooo...

Shut the filthy crap! Ojobo/ncc/apc are sheer dumb oppressors whose anti-poeple policies will BACFIRE & CONSUME them in the long run!...irredeemable rogues!

They might be or they are? I think the right words are: they are.
