This bush I’m in has made me lose touch with reality and current affairs. We lack simple good network in this so called school. After paying so much money. Tueh.
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?

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!
Back in the day, I had a friend from Liberia.
Her parents were upper-middle-class and lived in Monrovia.
She said they woke one day to find rebels at the doorstep of Monrovia, and there was a mad dash to the airport. She said a country had sent planes to evacuate its citizens from Liberia, but the Liberians were buying the seats on those planes to escape.
Her parents could only afford to send her; she never saw them again.
I asked, “This war didn't start in one day; why didn't you leave earlier?”
She said, “We simply heard about an attack here and there and never assumed it would come to Monrovia.”
Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.
The official story blames fungal blight.
But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.
An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.
That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.
Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?
Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.
The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.
Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.
A lot of you never held any leadership role prior to marriage. Not your offices, not in associations you belong to, not even headboy of your primary school, so marriage is the one place you finally get to be the local champion leader you’ve been having wet dreams about.
Pathetic
