Following the announcement of the new Nigerian Communication Commission directive to raise data prices, Nigerians are blaming Buhari for their current predicament.

It’s probably safe to say that almost every Nigerian has now become a wailer, and if things get worse, 2019 will be the year Nigerians show Buhari the back door- at least if these tweeps have anything to do with it.

But wait, how can NCC decide to raise prices because it figures it will cause new comers to the market to enjoy a level playing field? At which point did it occur to the people that whispered this backward idea to NCC that telcos will lose most of their customer base, because Nigeria is in a recession, and in a recession, data is a luxury. And if there’s one thing Nigerians know to do well is to cut off excess expenditure to survive.

Increasing data prices simply means you’re giving Nigerians one more thing to strike off their budget. Abi is data food?

By the way, the curses are coming down hard, the ranks of the wailers are swelling and a few are indulging in finger pointing.

The reason we keep talking about GEJ is cos you people keep bringing him up…is Buhari failing?? Yes!!! Does that make GEJ a success??No!!

"A Mistake Called Buhari"

A movie produced in 1984 but some subscribed to the re-make in 2015.

We've seen it before: it will get worse.

Can't get over how market forces and competition had actually been driving data prices down, until the Naija govt unilaterally raised prices

These people are absolutely clueless. They can't diagnose problems, and see solutions as problems. They are actively harmful.

Buhari wants 3G monthly bundle to be nothing less than N6,000 so criticism of him online will reduce. To those that voted him in. Well done.
