MTN is draining us – Customers lament as they settle for alternatives
One of Nigeria’s communication giants, MTN is in the news again for the wrong reasons. This time it bothers on the dubious data services provided and the bad network the company has made Nigerians suffer from.
The company no doubt has been a source of happiness for some Nigerians with their several corporate social responsibilities. The likes of MTN Project Fame, Who wants to be a millionaire, MTN Foundation, to mention few.
However, aside all these CSR, what really concerns Nigerians is the quality of their products and services which the company is seriously failing at presently.
Information made available after an opinion poll carried out by Osho Oluwatosin, the Publisher Of Trixx NG revealed that some of the users claimed that MTN for the past two weeks has been really bad and has given them countless numbers of reasons to quit and settle for other networks. Most of them complained mainly on the call services and data services.
Below are some of the results of the poll:
-Adeyemi Olufunke says MTN has been really bad for some days now, whenever I call, people don’t here me, I keep hearing strange sounds, It wasn’t just for a day, even till now as I speak, sometimes when I try to recharge, I get error messages that the service isn’t available.
– Olagunju Fola – MTN made me suffer o, I tried to recharge directly from my bank a week ago to my MTN line, it kept on saying the service is unavailable, I tried for five times all to no avail, so it thought the problem was my bank, I then tried to recharge on my Airtel line, it worked immediately so I knew it was MTN. Unfortunately, on the morning of the next day, I started getting alert and the airtime I tried to load started coming in, it came in the five times I tried, I just felt like crying.
– Amaka Ezinne – MTN Data is just the worst as I speak, before now, I use 1 Gig for almost a month but now, it barely lasts for four days, it’s just somehow to me, how can I be wasting N500 every four days to sub on MTN, it’s so annoying, I’m looking for a better network now,I’m already planning to leave MTN as soon as possible
Uche Isreal – MTN is really draining us, they don’t have anything to offer anymore, MTN N500 Data plan for 750Mb is a scam, they claim to give us 500MB and 250MB to use in the midnight, it’s all lies, it doesn’t last me for two days.
Anthony Evans – This MTN case is an issue of discuss in my area, when I think of it I just feel sad because how can I be subscribing almost every day, I am an online marketer and I need to be online most times but MTN just wants to send me out of business, I have started using another network though.
With these, it seems MTN is on their way out of the business scene in Nigeria and if care isn’t taken, it will cost them a lot. It will be recalled that some years back,MTN was sanctioned by the NCC over issues bothering on sim registration.

In a goodwill message issued by him, he described the victory as “a historic moment for the Remo people, coming at a time when the constituency yearns for a leader with vision, courage, and genuine commitment to service.”
He noted that the outcome of the election was an attestation to the trust and confidence reposed in Hon. Ayoola-Elegbeji by the people, adding that her sterling qualities, integrity, accessibility, and compassion for the grassroots had endeared her to the electorate.
“The overwhelming support you garnered at the polls is proof that you are the right voice at the right time to carry the aspirations of Remo to the national stage,” he stated.
While acknowledging that the by-election followed the painful demise of the late Hon. Adewunmi Oriyomi Onanuga (Ijaya), Aare Adetola Emmanuel King said Hon. Ayoola-Elegbeji’s emergence symbolizes the continuity of purposeful representation. He expressed confidence that she would not only sustain the legacy of her predecessor but also surpass it with new energy, innovative ideas, and progressive leadership.

Olowu Celebrates Former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, At 84
Olowu of Kuta, HRM Oba Dr Hammed Oyelude Makama, CON, Tegbosun III, has congratulated former military president, Gen Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, rtd, who is 84 today.
Olowu, in a statement he signed, eulogised the former military ruler for his modest achievements while he was in power.
According to Olowu, ” IBB is an enigma. He has carved a niche for himself as a former military president. His tenure witnessed the completion of many monumental legacy projects that are still visible today. His Hill Top Mansion in Minna has become a Mecca of sorts for those who aspired to lead Nigeria.”
Olowu, who described Gen Babangida as being grossly misunderstood, said history would be kind to him.
He said, “The launch of Gen Babangida’s Autobiography: ‘A Journey In Service’, and the testimonies from the likes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Abdusalam Rabiu, Oil Magnate, Arthur Eze, and many others, testified to his goodwill despite leaving public office three decades ago.
” On behalf of myself, my Oloris and Olowu-In-Council.
All members of the defunct IBB Vision 2003 and Vision 2007, I wish President Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, a happy birthday. I also wish him all the best as he aged gracefully,” Olowu added.
Born on August 17, 1941, Gen Ibrahim Babangida, rtd, ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993.
His presidency was marked by significant political and economic reforms.
