โTo our 15G digital bundle lovers,
โYou dey vex (you are angry). We know.
โWe know how upsetting it might have been to suddenly wake up to a 200% increase on your favourite digital bundle.
โWe could share several reasons, and provide explanations, but โomo, all-that one na storyโโ.
โWe don cast. We get it and admit it. Letโs just say na mistake.
โIn this love season, donโt stay angry with us. Please, forgive and forget. You matter die and we will never stop showing you how much. Letโs continue our relationship.
โThank you for your understandingโ.
Techeconomyโs investigation shows that the 15G digital bundle was heavily subsidized before the now. However, upon removal of the subsidy, the rate ballooned to about 200%, but the telco has now removed it.
