NCC Don Blame Poor Network for Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan on Overload Wahala – Beg Telecom Companies Make Dem Expand 5G Sharp-Sharp

My people, if your phone don turn decoration for house because network no gree work, NCC don talk wetin dey cause am. According to dem, the wahala no be juju or village people — na capacity overload! Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan, and other big cities don full sotay network no fit breathe again. Too many people dey stream, chat, send voice note, and do mobile payment at once.

Dem join hand with broadband company, Ookla, do better research wey show say urban area don choke. While rural places dey enjoy small breeze, city network dey sweat like generator for hot afternoon. Calls dey drop like mango, data dey crawl, and mobile banking dey misbehave. As NCC talk am, “congestion don turn city life to buffering life.”

NCC say the thing don too much. E no good make people dey shout “hello, hello, can you hear me?” like choir practice every five minutes.

The NCC Solution: 5G to the Rescue

NCC don carry megaphone shout make all the telecom people wake up from sleep and invest well. Dem say no be time for half current — dem need make companies upgrade quick-quick, deploy 5G everywhere, and ginger the existing 4G make e perform like new motor.

Dem even yarn say the network dey collapse during peak hour like NEPA transformer. The only way forward na better infrastructure, no be packaging. So NCC dey push for “targeted investments” – meaning make the companies stop to patch-patch and just go all in.

Meanwhile, some subscribers don dey complain say their so-called “5G” dey crawl pass snail, sometimes no even reach 1Mbps except at midnight. One angry user talk say, “my 5G dey behave like 2G wey miss road.”

Blame Fibre Cut, Not Only Poor Network

Telecom companies no gree collect all the blame. Dem talk say e no easy at all. According to dem, fibre optic cable dey suffer every day — with about 1,100 fibre cuts weekly across Nigeria. Imagine say person dey use one wire chop 1,100 knife every week — e go survive?

Dem say na vandalism and road construction dey cause most of the damage. Some people dey dig road like gold miners, unknowingly cut cable wey dey supply half of the city. To stop this kain nonsense, President Tinubu last year sign law wey make telecom cables and masts part of “critical national infrastructure.” Anybody wey touch am now fit enter serious wahala.

Minister of Communications, Dr. Bosun Tijani, don follow back the move, join body with Federal Ministry of Works form one “Joint Standing Committee” to protect the cables nationwide. As NCC talk am, “no network, no progress.” So the mission now na to protect cable like national treasure — because without am, even 10G go still behave like 2G.
