I was in Nigeria a few months ago, and I genuinely couldn’t believe how fast @MTNNG data zapped.

When I called ‘em, they gave the most flimsy excuse I’ve ever heard - they told me the data zapped because other apps were running in the background.I laughed so hard I almost fell off the planet.

I work from home sometimes, my TV is almost never off, and all my devices are connected to my Shaw home internet, yet I don’t use 40GB in a month. Must we get less, be kicked in the ass, and be treated as slaves because we are Nigerians???

I tagged @bosuntijani at the time, well I was not surprised at his silence. Incompetence is as incompetence comes.

Anyways, here is my persoective - If 40GB could last me say a month before at N8K, how come it now lasts me for X days at over N15k??? If I bought one cup of gari at N1k last week, if it’s now N5k, at least I still get my X cup, no?

But no! not at MTN. My fam in this month alone has bought 20GB on the 4th, 7th, 10th, 14th, and 16th at total rate of N45k.

To think that the situation remains the same months after I left shows exactly why we are where we are as a country - nothing ever gets the attention it deserves for a change.

I wonder how our dear activists like @Peter4Nigeria and @p_oruche cope in that country.
