In a viral video shared on social media, I Go Save alleged that one-month data plans often expire within hours rather than days.
He called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene and ensure fair practices by telecom operators.
“They just talk say I have subscribed for one month, e no even reach how many hours, the thing don finish. Internet providers are defrauding Nigerians badly,” I Go Save said, stressing that even wealthier users are affected by the issue.
The comedian contrasted the Nigerian situation with international norms, noting that abroad, a one-month plan lasts exactly one month.
“With the way internet providers dey do, even Dangote go dey off him data. Tinubu, is that you no dey use data?” he questioned.
