Demrich: I think MTN is the best because with just 100# you get 10MB but GLO is the worst even with 200# you get nothing, not even 5MB. TOO BAD!

Yungwizzzy: network providers are really making hell from Nigerians imagine this figure multiplied by their high data rates. and yet one useless organization will sit in the US and report that 90% of Nigerians are poor wurehell. pesin Neva see food chop e go subscribe 4 internet data??

olokfor: A total of 48.3 million telephone subscribers actively browse the Internet on their mobile phones, investigations have shown.

Statistics obtained from the Nigerian Communications Commission on Friday showed that Internet subscriptions through the telecommunications operators increased by 26.44 per cent between May 31 and June 30, 2013.
Active Internet subscription as of the endof June, but it was, however, 16.29 per cent less than the total Internet mobile subscriptions.

At the end of June, a total of 57.7 million telephone subscribers had Internet subscription, although only 48.3 million were active subscribers.
This means that a total of 9.4 million Internet subscriptions were inactive.
At the end of May, the active mobile Internet subscription stood at 38.2 million. This means that within a period of one month (between May and June), 10.1 million active subscribers started using the Internet on their phones, a difference of 26.44 per cent.

The total subscription at the end of May, however, stood at 44.69 million. This translates to an inactive population of 6.49 million subscribers or a ratio of 14.52 per cent.

With an active subscription of 24.5 million, MTN Nigeria Communications Limited had the largest mobile Internet subscription rate at the end of June. This means that 50.72 per cent of all mobile Internet subscribers as of June 30 were hooked to the MTN network.

sheyie2007: That's a country 's population

nex: This is quite the reality. Mobile browsing is now the preferred means of accessing the internet. The most recent spike in users may be caused my a surge of lower priced internet accessible phones by the Asian brands, especially TECNO.

Unfortunately for us, the more we're hooked on the internet, the more we rely on foreigners for our communication. Nigeria has made negligible investment on the internet, but massive investment in access to it.

Sicozone:
No 1. What do u mean by they're making hell? Have you been there before? What does ur hell qualify or quantify? Cos i dont think hell iz a rich entity.
No 2. Why would u call some organization useless? What do u know about such org.? What research have you done to validate your statement?
No 3. Don't you know research has been done before such statistics must have been done? The truth is that most Nigerians are poor. That a person can afford a 100 naira for 10mb doesn't mean he's rich. I wonder,why such baseless accusation by you? I think you yourself need to go to the crook and crannies of this nation and see for yourself that Nigeria is a poverty stricken nation irrespective of the figure that 48.3 million people can afford data subscription

That many people manage to recharge #100 in a week so they can get MTN 10mb free doesn't mean they are financially okay.
By the way, I am not surprised that MTN subscribers make up more than 50% of the 'internet population'. It may just be due to their free 10mb per week which many poor people are enjoying and using to browse the internet. Thumbs up for MTN.

Many Nigerians still cannot afford a second hand PC or modem that's why they use their cheap nokia and china phones to access the internet. Plus using phones is convenient as it can be carried anywhere.

These statistics proves that nigerians are very much interested in the internet and even though they may not have adequate resources, they are willing to make sacrifices just to be on the internet.
