As people are increasingly noticing how quickly their data gets exhausted, I’m genuinely shocked and disappointed that Nigerians are still staying silent about the drastic decline in the quality of service from all our network providers!
What is going on?!
Last October, I and some members of our digital security company arrived in Nigeria for Detty December. From October 2025 to April 2026, we travelled across multiple states for different assignments. The state of internet connectivity in this country is a complete national disgrace!
Every single network MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile is simply unacceptable.
No one can truly rely on any of them.
There is hardly any serious Nigerian whose business, work, or livelihood depends on being constantly online who uses only one ISP. You are forced to subscribe to MTN + Airtel + possibly others as a survival strategy. Yet even with multiple lines active, you still struggle to get consistent 20Mbps speeds in many locations for any meaningful period of time.
MTN FibreX is often hyped as the fastest, but even that is unreliable. One moment it works decently, the next it completely drops. And when it stops connecting you will go through hell calling their helpline or calling MTN out on social media before they will fix it?
You can wait for weeks before MTN even responds to your complaint. Weeks!
You’ve paid for a subscription you couldn’t use, and they will not refund you a single kobo. They simply keep your money.
This is no longer just “bad service.”
This is economic sabotage.
This is holding an entire generation of Nigerians back while our peers in other countries are thriving and very good internet is the least of their worries.
How many freelancers, students, crypto traders, content creators, developers, and small business owners have lost millions because of this nonsense?
How many opportunities have passed us by because Zoom calls refuse to connect, files won’t upload, or VPNs keep disconnecting?
Nigerians, are we going to keep lying to ourselves? Or are we finally going to speak up?

@FGN
Are you seeing what you are delivering to Nigerians?
Or are you laughing at us in your internal chats while collecting our hard-earned money every month?
If you are a Nigerian struggling with this daily frustration, reply this post and share your worst experience.
Share your state and the network(s) involved. Let’s call out this madness together.
This silence must end!
@CkFlamezzzi@cowrywise Depends on the performance of the market, but with Conservative , you are assured of the agreed interest at the end of your 1 year
