Cost of internet in Nigeria is generally expensive and usually has a cap. I pay 5000 naira($12)for 30GB worth of data but that's because of a promo from th network provider(MTN). The standard charge is actually 5000 for 15GB, and that barely lasts two weeks. When you consider that minimum wage here is about 35,000naira, it means you're spending a healthy Chunk of your income on internet.
I'm actually in an "elite" group by the way, because only middle class to upper class pay that exhorbitant amount for internet.
The only reason why the cost of internet doesn't bother me is because I fortunately earn regularly from the crypto hustle, so the internet pays for itself.
It is rather interesting how people remain in intentional ignorance to the potential of the internet. Many people talk big about earning from the internet but few are ready to attempt to, even when it is absolutely free of charge.
That is indeed a healthy chunk of the average income. Thanks for adding the info.
With decent skills and hustle, I know quite a few who are definitely in the plus side overall and hopefully if they have managed to save a bit along the way, they will benefit later from what they hold too.
