Their network is terrible, and their data plans are a rip-off. the 15GB package doesn\u2019t even last three days.<\/p>\n<p>Another Nigerian user on X, @Atandalukman_ wrote, \u201d300% increase is a lot fr. I will take it as a glitch for now sha cos wtf?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>@neefenawti shared a dissent opinion. To him, the network providers including MTN Nigeria could not be blamed for the development, stating President Bola Tinubu had earlier disclosed he was not interested in price control.<\/p>\n<p>He wrote, \u201dI won\u2019t even blame MTN. In a country where the president said he does not believe in price control, what do you expect will happen?? The government is out there to watch people plunge further into poverty. They want to reduce the public\u2019s purchasing power so you will not have the means to fight back against a government that puts people in sufferness.
