Nigerians have taken to social media to express their frustration and shock after MTN unexpectedly increased the price of its 15GB weekly data plan from ₦2,000 to ₦6,000. The sudden hike, which came without prior notice, has sparked outrage, with many calling it unfair and unsustainable for the average Nigerian.
Social media users have voiced their dissatisfaction, questioning how people are expected to cope with such a drastic increase.
Reactions from Nigerians:
- @gbolahan2211: “Imagine MTN increasing their 15GB tariff overnight without notifying customers. I even messaged them, and they said it’s to serve me better. Damn!!”
- @GIFTy6286: “If they like, they should increase it to ₦1M, we will survive.”
- @AfrokonnectNG: “This sudden price jump from ₦2,000 to ₦6,000 is insane! Internet is essential for work, education, and communication, yet it’s being priced like a luxury.
- At this rate, users may be forced to find alternatives or cut down on data use. MTN needs to reconsider this move.”
- @Gorilla23mp: “But this is almost a 200% increase. I thought they said it wouldn’t be more than 100%?”
- @nolifefahard: “You voted for capitalism 😂😂😂 We will learn the hard way.”
