December 1st is just around the corner, and Nigerians are pleading with President to have a change of heart about the new Nigerian Communication Commission directive to increase data prices. Dec 1st is the date when the directive from NCC comes into force.
That directive stipulates that 1.5 gig will sell for 3,000 naira.

Nigerians are embattled; the forces of recession and adverse economic policies are making a play for their souls. And while data is still affordable, they are tweeting about it.

Expect many social media savvy folks to drop off the face of the earth in the wake of the new rules. Expect social media to be less engaging. Expect tech startups to experience setbacks.

Do see below:

My President @MBuhari – you will kill future @andela if you don't stop the NCC from going through with this data price increase.

So many young people rely on cheap mobile data to educate themselves in the face of a stretched education system @MBuhari

— Iyinoluwa Aboyeji (@iaboyeji) November 29, 2016

People's lives have improved because of opportunities they can access via the internet @MBuhari

— Iyinoluwa Aboyeji (@iaboyeji) November 29, 2016

Sir @MBuhari – this is the equivalent of increasing fuel prices for young people.

— Iyinoluwa Aboyeji (@iaboyeji) November 29, 2016

They lose income, they lose learning and they lose opportunities. Please reconsider. Thank you sir @MBuhari

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.

Buhari increased fuel price and nothing happened
No 'occupy' because "our people dey power now"
What is Data that he can't increase?

Buhari needs that insecticide spraying pastor to reset his brain.

I never had a serious political argument with my Parent until last the election. Apparently, they were right.

We need to give these recent policies from the CBN, NCC, FIRS etc by their proper names. Extortion. Extraction. Expropriation. Exploitation.

— H.O.N. (@MrNosegbe) November 28, 2016

They extort, extract, expropriate & exploit, to spend. Buhari's admin has spent more money than any other admin in Nig's history @MrNosegbe pic.twitter.com/oX0vSYuGwO

Despite spending more than any admin in Nigeria's history, Buhari still managed to drag the economy into recession. Incredible! @MrNosegbe pic.twitter.com/ZWb5Opr5GK

— Ms Boateng (@JoyceOdukoya) November 29, 2016

this is what you get when there is a basic lack of understanding and overall cohesion in government policies and spending.

— Femi James (@femolevsky) November 29, 2016

they're spending the country out of recession…

— Chinedu Iyegbu (@nedu994) November 29, 2016

And after taxing us to death how will they spend the money? To look for oil in Lake Chad or the Gongola basin? We can't allow this nonsense.

— H.O.N. (@MrNosegbe) November 29, 2016

Is this where we say hail hydra?
