How has the hike in data and mobile phone call prices affected Nigerians?
About this episode
Being online has become a huge part of our lives. Everywhere you look, you see people on their phones in homes, schools, work and markets.
These devices are not just almost glued to our hands for fun, they are also crucial to people’s businesses and livelihoods.
So earlier this year when Nigerian telecommunication companies announced they would be raising their prices, with some services increased by 50 percent, it got many Nigerians talking.
These companies say they are doing this because they have to meet their costs as a result of economic factors such as inflation.
So what is the price of being online and how are Nigerians being affected?
Host: Alan Kasujja Guests: BBC reporter in Lagos, Yusuf Akinpelu and Taofeek Adeshina, photographer based in Lagos.
