Here in Malawi, at least per my observation, we have somewhat the zame situation on the data bundle side. The cheapest data bundle for one of the networks, TNM, can go as low as 360 Naira for 4GB valid for 2 hours or 1200 Naira for the same 4GB for 12 hours. For longer duration, 1GB valid for 1 day goes for 720 Naira. On the electricity side, at least in the location I stay, lights barely go out. But it is nonetheless disheartening that this is the situation in Nigeria.

More strength to you on that data front Chief. Hopefully it becomes less expensive. It’s great you at least have electricity. I’m thinking solar panels now.

They recently "reduced" the price of the data bundles, but only for those below 3.6GB. The rest are still the same. I guess they targeted the majority of the people since they buy those smaller data bundles. The reduction goes from 3% to around 45% with the smaller the data bundle, the bigger the reduction.
