If people politicize this Galamsey fight and try to separate the people, and the people fall for this without knowing "water is life," I will not support or raise a campaign in Ghana again. This will be my last time.

This was what MTN was offering until

stepped in. A country whose Vice President is boasting of digitalization is preventing its citizens from affordable data bundles. Who does that?
#DissolveNCAboard
#NCAAreTheEnemies
According to what the NCA released to the public, the average data for 1GB in Ghana is $0.40. Meanwhile, 1GB of data is 17ghc, which is around $1.20. This means the statistics that the NCA provided are outdated or misleading.

For standing against us and turning a blind eye to the affordable data bundles campaign, it will be surprising if you get 25% of the total votes or even 60 of your MPs win.
You will lose massively if you continue like this in the next 15 days, and I will quote this post after
In Zambia, MTN offers 220GB for 295ghc, while the same MTN offers 92GB for 350ghc. However, our population is more than 10 million compared to Zambia. NCA! NCA! NCA!

Yesterday, on Citi FM, when someone asked the NCA Boss why MTN offers 100 GB for 95ghc in Nigeria compared to Ghana, where it is 92 GB for 350ghc, his response was that Nigeria has a larger population than Ghana, and that is the primary reason. Really? I am quoting this post with

The shocking thing is, when I was in Ghana, I went to more than 20 car garages for reviews, and none of them approved me because they said they don't want social media stuff.

Just in case we do not receive any positive feedback about the data prices in the country in the coming days, this is the current structure:
1. Posting on Twitter (X).
2. Making a video of each tweet in Twi that will be posted on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and X.
3. Spending a

Over 37,000 people in Ablekuma West chose you in 2020. They buy data every day to come online to watch you or see what you are doing in Ghana. These people struggle every day to purchase the data that you and your government have chosen to price higher, and you can do something
Tomorrow, the NCA is having a meeting. We hope they announce and implement something positive regarding the data prices because next week, we are starting the interviews. If the interviewers finish all the videos and there is no positive reduction in data prices, I will announce
I just received a hint that data prices will drop next week, between Monday and Tuesday. If this does not happen or the drop is not as significant as expected, I will release the interview sign-up link, and we can proceed accordingly.

The minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour, which is equivalent to 113 GHC, while the minimum wage in Ghana is 590 GHC per month. Despite this big difference, data prices are more expensive in Ghana than in the US.

There is something going on in this country that needs urgent attention.
I called MTN Customer Support regarding the tax on MoMo Pay Merchant, and this is what happened:
1GB of data is 17ghc. The minimum daily wage for a Ghanaian is 18ghc, so data alone has taken more than 98% of the wage. NCA, how did you implement this for the people to survive?

Also, after the NCA Head Office meeting, I met with the NCA decision-makers. We had informative discussions, and I also conveyed the consumers' concerns and the sole requirement to stop the campaign. They said they would get back to me within the next three days to provide the

1GB of data in the country costs 17ghc, but the minimum wage per day for a Ghanaian is 18ghc. And to release a statement to address this, all you have to say is that people in the UK said data in Ghana is better than in most countries in Africa. You should have resigned five
MTN offers 900 GB for 890ghc in Zambia for both 4G and 5G, but it will cost you 3804ghc to get the same 900 GB in Ghana for only 4G and 3G. Meanwhile, our population is more than 13 million greater than Zambia's. Seriously, NCA!

The NCA is failing to comply with the SMP procedure and is acting in its own interests.
Typical Example is In the US, Apple was restricting app developers from using alternative payment methods within apps, forcing them to use Apple's in-app purchase system with a 30% commission
The minimum daily wage is 18 GHC, yet 1GB of data costs 17 GHC. How did the NCA board come up with this? Where is the consumer priority in this pricing?

Before we head into the next day, I just wanted to thank everyone for supporting this journey. As I promised from the beginning, this campaign will be an effective one, and I will ensure it is. In the next few days, we will also add TikTok, as the plan was shared a few days ago.
In 5 days, I have used 171 GB of data on my Starlink, and I still have 26 days left in the month. I estimate I will be using 3.4 TB in a month for only 390 GHC. This is how we make the country better. ❤️😆
They fought, and they withdrew it. This means they always do it for their own benefit:

4. We sat down, and
Imagine MTN and Telecel offering 93GB for 350GHc while it doesn't last for 12 days, and Starlink offering unlimited internet at a high speed where over 100 people can connect to one router at 390GHc. It is time for MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo to sit down with authorities to
Since you are not saying anything about data prices in the country and are not providing affordable data in the country, your digitalization is futile and has failed!! The Internet is the backbone of this entire process. 50ghc for 2.9GB, how? How?

The NCA Boss announced plans to reduce data prices in Q4 of 2024. Our plan is to continue our campaign until there is a positive change, as the damages will keep accumulating day by day and becoming more significant as we move forward. If that is their only time to reduce data
If the government doesn't listen to or overlooks the key message of the people, 'Reduce Data Prices,' and instead tries to present statistics, this will help us provide more in-depth information to the public. This might lead people to consider their next messages as irrelevant

The government said they are making MTN services expensive so that other telecoms like AT can get more users. Kindly check, are there any significant differences? No!

This is how you people are holding this campaign:

- We have little data that we can utilize effectively, and we have the people's attention.
So the campaign heavily
MTN's investment in Ghana aims to provide its customers with the best possible service. Since MTN has the majority of users, a small group known as the NCA that is paid by our taxes has ordered them to increase the prices of their services, which is affecting data prices so that
And if the NCA is genuinely forcing MTN to increase their prices so that Ghanaians can use other networks, why is Telecel giving these offers but not cheaper data bundles? This shows that they are against the consumers. We are their enemies, and the government is quiet about it.
