With
the world continuously transforming into a global village, staying connected to
the internet and keeping your family and dear ones close to your heart through
excellent communication using the available telecommunication networks has
become something of great importance. However, different countries have their
side of the story to the services the citizens get from available
telecommunication services. In this post, we will be focusing our attention on
Nigeria.
In
Nigeria, there are four major network providers. Citizens get to choose based
on their location, availability of the network and the affordability of the
data plans.
MTN
Although
MTN appears to be the leading network in Nigeria, most people would rather use
the data services of GLO, AIRTEL or 9MOBILE because of the charges attached to
the use of MTN and the rate of data consumption.
70%
Nigerians would always vote MTN as the fastest, but it doesn't change the fact
that people refer to it as "Empty network" when things get bad.
GLO
The
review of Glo network performance varies for different locations because Glo
does not cover much range like MTN. However, Glo seems to be much more considerate
when compared to MTN. The call rate is cheaper, you pay less for data, and yet
the data consumption is not as fast as that of MTN, but recently people refer
to Glo as "Slow" when they are frustrated.
AIRTEL
If
you reside in an area with excellent airtel network, you would definitely find
it easy to hit the subscription button whenever you are running out of data
because Airtel has various plans that fit perfectly for each situation.
9MOBILE
Compare
with the other three networks mentioned earlier, the use of 9mobile by
Nigerians are not yet on the high side, but the network offers amazing data
plans and network quality. 9mobile transfer codes vary depending on your plan and budget. Trust Nigerians, 90% believe it is because they need more customers.
How
can easy access to data help individuals and businesses in the country and
Africa at large?
Several
years back, the traditional trading method was the only available style of
trading before the invention of the internet, which has been making trading
easy through e-commerce platforms. Staying off the internet means limiting your
business to a particular area and hindering the growth of your business. Proper
use of the internet has the advantage of making your business recognized all
over the world and available to those who wish to patronize you if you are
willing to offer international services.
Because
of our day to day activities, sitting in front of the television has become
something of history to so many people especially those who believe in the
quote “the television is not meant for billionaires.” Several services
providers, including information carriers, recognized this fact and decided to
move their businesses online.
Without
easy access to data to keep you online, you might be in the country and yet not
be aware of the things going on in your immediate environment. This is because
social media is continuously taking over, and you can rely more on some of the
information gotten from a reliable social media network than our famous news
channels. Better internet service will make the country more connected and
recognized.
Benefits
of data and internet and how it has changed the way people live
With
data availability and easy access to the internet through a fast network from
various service providers, life has become more comfortable because you can get
almost everything you need to have a healthy life right from your home. The internet has made it easy to do the following:
• Get information
• Locate places without asking questions
• Request for services from home
• Make transactions without visiting the bank
• Buy and sell goods at your own convenience
without stepping foot in the market and lots more.
Although
the provision of cheap data by some networks have made it easy for people to
access the internet yet, we cannot completely erase the fact that the internet
also has its bad side which could destroy lives.
Future
with Internet
With
the continuous increase in the world of technology, just as the internet is
going to make life easier by providing more platform where people can work
online without the fear of a boss, interact with each other easily, and lots
more. It is also going to cause so many disasters such as making people lazier,
replaces human services with machines, giving more rooms for cybercrime, etc.
The
internet is good and fun, but using it wisely is better and more profitable.
