• He believes they are cheating the people. His request comes after major Internet providers recently raised their prices.

• The stand-up comedian, who is now in the United Kingdom, mentioned that the data there is quicker and more dependable compared to Nigeria.

Comedian Otaghware Onodjayeke, also known as IGoSave, has urged the authorities to look into the actions of telecom companies in Nigeria.

He believes they are cheating the people. His request comes after major Internet providers recently raised their prices.

The stand-up comedian, who is now in the United Kingdom, mentioned that the data there is quicker and more dependable compared to Nigeria.

He shared this in a video message on 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. How much is minimum wage in Nigeria that they are charging so much for data that doesn’t last?”
