Inside Nigeria’s Telecom Quality Struggle by Elvis Eromosele - Commentary@ITREALMS

Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

Every day, across Nigeria, the frustrations of Nigeria’s digital age often arrive without warning. It happens in the small things. And the big ones. Take the case of a business owner who attempts to complete a critical bank transfer, only for the network to freeze. Consider a student who joins an online lecture and suddenly disappears from the session because the connection collapses. Or perhaps, a trader waits endlessly for a Point-of-Sale transaction approval while impatient customers walk away.

For many, it has become an exhausting routine.

The irony is difficult to ignore. Nigeria’s telecom sector is undergoing one of its biggest modernisation drives in history, yet consumer dissatisfaction remains widespread. While operators continue to expand 4G and 5G networks and spend heavily on upgrades, users still complain that service quality often falls painfully short of expectations.

If you frequent any of the mega-churches in Lagos, you need to exercise extreme discernment regarding what you consume from the pulpit this season. A distinct, unmistakable pattern is emerging across the socio-religious landscape, and it is becoming far too loud to ignore.

It feels less like coincidence and more like a coordinated, strategic memorandum designed to alter the psychic landscape of the electorate ahead of the 2027 polls.
