You talk like you're being paid by MTN. How long will you guys keep defending indiscriminate, arbitrary tariff increments all in a bid to "ridicule" the government? 100% increment? Haba. That's besides all the hidden charges that makes a 1min airtime finish in 40 seconds. If I remember correctly this was how you people kept defending DStv those days until their greed spiraled out of control and everyone started looking for alternatives.

It's a blessing in disguise for distracted people. You're supposed to go to the internet with a streamlined view of what you want to get from it. Instead of going there without a plan.

Imagine going to the market without knowing what to buy. You go to social media and you're just scrolling like someone who's brain has been hijacked by another entity.

Possession doesn't happen when you're flying with a broom stick at night. It also happens when you find yourself doing something you know is detrimental to your health, but keep doing it regardless... smoking, mindless social media binging, masturbation and so on

This news is same as when people complain that the price of sugar has gone up...
When all I see is a blessing that the price of diabetes had gone up.

"The price of vegetable oil has gone up. What do I do?"

That's a trigger for you to look for alternative that are healthy and less expensive.
Or where do you think vegetable oil cones from?
You think vegetable oil comes from crushed vegetables huh?


PS: this might affect a lot of companies but it'll give room for alternatives, instead of transferring costs on customers.

ecomalchemistt:
Been a long time coming, everything has been on the increase.

It's time to double your hustle / income cause this is absolute madness if you ask me.

OneMillionBTC:
This will promote Internet calls more.

Anyway, with time we will hardly make normal calls as almost everyone will be using Internet calls which is far too cheaper.

Endinjustice:


Some of you that are bent on defending ineptitudeness of the govt are very insensitive and intentionally dvmb. Just mention one thing that the price has not doubled more than 100%.

ZombieDredd:

So instead of holding the governments to account, na to double hustle

Next year they increase by 500%, what do you do? Triple the hustle?

And they increase by 1000%? You keep tripling hustle abi?

Una go get sense by force for nigeria

Do these people care at all?
These companies are busy paying their directors hundreds of millions of Naira annually but are always in a rush to increase tariffs, not even by 10 or 20% but by 100%, forgetting what Nigerians are going through right now.

If they're no more interested in the Nigerian market they should sell up instead of passing their frustration to Nigerians who are going through worst daily.

SmartPolician:
I cannot blame them. Just imagine that the value of naira has depreciated by over 200% since Escobar brought his cursed administration to this country.

These are multinational companies that repatriate their funds to their headquarters in USD. Their earnings have since that time been slashed by over 200% - thanks to a president who knows zilch about leadership.

What I find really disturbing is that MTN spends 50% of their profits powering their base stations across the country. It takes a lot of guts to do business in this country.
