Stand-up comedian, Otaghware Onodjayeke, known by his stage name Igosave, has called on relevant authorities to investigate the activities of telecommunication companies in the country, claiming that they are defrauding the citizens. He made the call against the backdrop of the recent tariff hike by major Internet providers in Nigeria.
The comedian, currently in the United Kingdom, noted that data is both faster and more reliable there than in Nigeria. Speaking in a video message shared via his social media, IGoSave 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.
