You know, they say you wake up some mornings to see blessings just waiting for you to receive them. Usually, when I wake up in the morning and I see a message from my best friends, MTN Nigeria, my reaction is to lovingly hiss in derision and delete the message before reading it (I might or might not insult the network, depending on my mood). Today however was different. Something propelled me to take a little time to read the message that it might contain good news.

I read it.

And well….

It contained…….news.

Now for those in the know, rumors have been flying about online over the past few days that MTN has been gving away 1 Gb of data to subscribers as a way of rewarding them on her 13th anniversary in Nigeria. Why MTN saw it fit to give some subscribers 1gb (Approximately 1000mb of data) then give me that they have shoveled my airtime away time and time again only 25 mb is completely beyond me. Clearly some people are subscribers and others are fish sellers. No problem. God will see us.

It wouldn’t have been so bad sef that I was given 25 mb. Afterall, a crumb of bread is better than none but as with everything else free from these best friends of mine, there’s a catch. Catch number one – the data is only valid till midnight of the 10th of September. I called up my calendar to remind me what day that is and, surprise surprise, it is today! MTN gave me data that is only valid for one day as a gift!

Okay let’s move on to catch two since I’ve gotten over the fact I can’t use the 25MB as future back up. I’ve been browsing and downloading stuff since I saw the message and – check this out – my data counter is not reading from the 25 MB. No, it is reading from my regular data subscription. Apparently, I would only be able to use this 25 free MB after my regular subscription has expired. Well here’s a fun fact – I have over 2GB left in my regular subscription. So if I want to use this awoof 25MB, I will have to burn through 2GB over the next less-than-24 hours. If this is not a genius move from this awesome network, I don’t know what is! Bravissima!!!

Now the rant –

What in the world am I supposed to do with 25MB? On an android device! I can’t even use the thing to download a small sized porn video how much more those DVD ones they stack inside boxes at DVD stores (Don’t deny you have looked through them before). Then I’m supposed to use it all up within 24 hours? And first burn all the data I paid for just to make use of 25 MB? Who thought this up and called it a good thing – Mr. Bean? Because I would totally understand this better if MTN’s promotions and special offer campaigns are headed by a dumbass comedian and not by people who went to school for the purpose.

I mean.

25MB?
