Popular Nigerian comedian, Otaghware Onodjayeke, widely known as IGoSave, has voiced his frustration with the operations of telecommunication companies in Nigeria.
In a recent video posted on his social media, IGoSave accused the telecom companies of defrauding Nigerian citizens.
He urged relevant authorities to investigate their activities, sharing his personal experience during a recent trip to the UK as a comparison.
He said; “This is the third time I will go to my service provider in the UK to top up my phone and they will turn me back that I still have data. I’m in shock because I bought just 20 gigabytes three weeks ago and it’s still working. It’s even very fast.”
“So, this is a clarion call to the Nigerian government, NCC, EFCC, ICPC to investigate all the telecom providers. The Internet providers in Nigeria are ripping Nigerians off. 20 gigabytes lasts one month in the UK while 50 gig one-month”
“Subscription in Nigeria doesn’t last up to three days. What’s the reason?”
“Internet providers are defrauding Nigerians and they need to be investigated. There’s no difference between them and Internet fraudsters. How much is minimum wage in Nigeria that they are charging so much for data that doesn’t last?”
