while Nigerians are still debating over health challenges humans might face in the advent of 5G technology in the country, little did we know that we are already closer to deploying the technology in the country than we thought?

The below video was recorded on the 25th of November, 2019. It was MTN's trial of 5G technology in Abuja, the nation's capital;

President Muhammadu Buhari endorsed the trial of 5G technology at the MTN first live demo of 5G network on Monday in Abuja.

He was represented at the occasion by the Minister of Communications and Digital Technology, Dr Isa Pantami.

Buhari expressed delight to be part of the historic moment, stressing that migration from 4G to 5G would be a revolution in the industry.

The President also directed Pantami to address the challenges facing the telecoms sector systematically, adding that an executive order is in the pipeline to consider Telecommunications Infrastructure as critical national assets.
“We are working day in day out to make sure that the environment is conducive for people to do their businesses.

“This administration is passionate about developing Nigeria’s Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector which contributes more than Oil and Gas to GDP,” Buhari said.

Prof. Umar Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman of Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), had told the global community that the African continent held the ace, adding that 5G is the next frontier of investment.

Danbatta expressed optimism that 5G would provide a very veritable and convincing investment for investors.

Former Executive Vice Chairman, NCC, Ernest Ndukwe, who is also a board member of MTN Nigeria, expressed delight that Nigeria was one of the countries championing 5G trial on the African continent.

Ndukwe said that the new technology is at least, 100 times faster than 4G, adding that 5G also provides faster data transfer speed and lower latency, compared to 4G.

“Additionally, 5G boasts of improved reliability as well as better support for more devices.

“5G is a transformational change from 4G with the potential to provide 20 times faster data speeds.

“It carries a massive amount of data for a large number of simultaneous users.

“5G will support business innovative ambitions, create new markets, transform supply chain management and create a smarter and more efficient manufacturing sector.

“5G is extremely fast and supports data transfer rates of up to 20Gbits/S. 5G will allow stream, download, and upload of huge quantities of data at a much faster rate.

“During a comparison test on both 4G and 5G networks, it took just 15.78 seconds to download a 2.3 GB video on the 5G network and the same file on 4G took exactly 5 minutes, 3.84 seconds.”

“This according to the telco operator will enable the company to provide better data services at a more affordable cost to its subscribers.





This second video below shows a concerned Nigerian citizen who records a video that he claims is the laying of 5G cables. He said while Nigerians are indoors due to lockdown orders; telecommunication companies are busy laying the cables. He also claimed that upon questioning those who were laying the cables; they said they were laying Airtel cables, after completing the laying of MTN cables the previous week.

The diggers further said they had after laying the cables around Lagos, the next step is to mount antennas. The cameraman also claimed that the diggers were ignorant of the fact that after digging, laying cables and turning on the antennas, "Nigerians would start dying for no reason; which is the aim of 5G installation in Lagus; to depopulate us".
