This is vague until you specify how they charge for the gigabyte. 1G for Kenya is 3G for Nigeria

NaijaTechGuy:
Data Subscription in different countries is usually different due to the economic conditions and operating costs of the Telecom Companies in each country. Airtel for example ,offers cheaper data services in its home country - India , than it does in Nigeria. In this post I collaborated with Dickson Otieno of Tech-Ish.com, a Kenyan Tech Blog. We'll be comparing the data plans in both countries and at the end we'll be calculating who spends more on data.


I believe this will let us know how much it costs citizens of both countries to access the internet and of course those who have enough data to waste on Twitter wars. If you are an active twitter user , you must have come across the #NigeriaVsKenya hashtag sometime. Well just in case you haven't brace yourself, it's about to get messy - Check a tweet with that hashtag -

Who spends more on data ?


For 1GB , Kenyans spend an average of 240-499 KES that's between N850- N1600 (for normal data plans)

Nigerians spend between N1000 - N1200 (KES 280 - KES 336 ) for 1GB and 1.5GB data plans


For 3GB - Kenyans spend between KES 499 - KES 999 that's between N1700 - N3400

Nigerians spend between N2000-N2500 .( KES- 560 - KES 700)

So It seems Kenyans actually spend more on data services. Nigerian Telcos are less expensive than their Kenyan counterparts. Of course , If there's an error in this post, feel free to let me know. Don't forget to tweet this and share as well.

you are absolutely correct!

Till you travel out of your country and actually earn and spend the currency of another country in their country, you will never understand how silly direct conversion of foreign currency like the OP did never works.

You didn’t add zuku network. Kenyans networked. Most of the data’s are unlimited and are way faster than Nigeria networks and most people don’t use the networks you listed in your post rather they all use zuku

SenR:

Naija still dey better than other
European countries o..

For example here in Germany, I pay 20 euro (almost 9000 Naira) for 5GB on Lyca Mobile.

For 3GB data na 15 euro... Etc

don't ever compare our naira Oga.. The money is useless.

If naira had value u think the gap will be far?

sHOTdownHawk:


That Faiba 4G 1GB for 50/- cant be real?

I've heard of it. Probably. But it's coverage is limited to major towns

Going by exchange rates of both countries currencies to the dollar. Data services is cheaper in Nigeria.

Data is very very cheap in Kenya. I am in Kenya right now and I tell you I have not spent a dime on data. There is this free WiFi almost every where in the city. It is called mojawifi. Almost every institution/ company has got WiFi where you can access with a password. Data is almost free here compared to Nigeria! And yes with there seem to be more progressive. They are more bothered with real life problems not some scam kidnap stories

Please who knows the code for mtn and airtel night plans?

SenR:


I no compare o....

Nigeria minimum house rent = 200 euros for 1 Year

Germany minimum house rent = 300 euro for 1 Month

Like I said, stop comparing agege bread and shoprite bread.


You will only get crappy face me and face you apartment in a village with 200 euros in current naija.
A decent flat in decent neighbourhood in lagos costs nothing less down 1000-1500 euros a year and

Places like vi or some part of abuja go as high as 5000 euros a year.


Even with the 300 euros you pay in Germany, you will still get some basic amenities like heaters, furniture etc that come with the house.
Can same be said about naija?

NaijaTechGuy:

At least it's faster

Is MTN not fast enough?

izzou:
But they get value for the much they spend

I doubt if their services are as poor as ours

I can bet that Glo subscribers may see this post at midnight

Nigeria is never good enough in anything to you all...it's like a trend to bash Naija on everything
Even when things were better, nobody saw anything good about Nigeria... SMH
Y'all should keep complaining... it might even get worse, GOD forbid!!!

Guys please take a seat and stop taking the piss out of us in Sierra Leone lol.

1GB is almost $10 and 3GB is $17 10GB is $60. I was in Naija my guy and your data mehn na free.

I keep wondering why data is freaking expensive out here.

Thanks for visiting. Mojawifi is known as the people's internet, or commonly as moja spots. They are littered everywhere. In case youre in a location without Moja internet you simply go to this site to see where the closest spot is.

My friend who lived in Kenya says he enjoyed truly unlimited access- streaming video without an increase in blood pressure.

I am sure he was telling the truth. Why isn't that here?

Is broadband internet limited in Nigeria? That would be the opposite to Kenya where all broadband internet is unlimited hence why your friend mentioned that. Once you pay its done and you dont even need to ever stop streaming. You can stream videos for a whole month or even six months nonstop 24/7 at no additional costs. What matters is the speed, which determines the package cost.

my 5G in SA is R400 about N11,500

NIGERIA has the cheapest data right now around the world.

calddon:

Same 2 u, he will help us

Yes, he will help you and your likes, I do not belong to that league.

soon these Kenya people who like to insult Nigerians will arrive here. or are they already here BC I didn't bother reading d comments so far

Sleekbabx:
Who else noticed that data plans don't last as before. I'm sure these Telecos have increased the tariffs per kb lowkey
When we have a rogue government agency turning a blind eye. Of course the masses will suffer
I've spent 6k in the last two weeks for data on 9mobile and I'm almost out again

My brother the thing don tire me.. If I save up the money I use for monthly data sub, I will buy a plot of land in Mowe or Ibafo in one year

pokipoki:

Dude, you did not mention anything about the data burn rate. 9mobile burn rate is the fastest in Nigeria.

Hehe.. I forgot to add that.. You're very correct on that

Mariangeles:
Is MTN not fast enough?

It's fast but I had to switch to NTel for better services.

Brygsn1122:

Thanks. I'll check this out.

Pls Suggest a Good Network that will last. I have used MTN, Etisalat and they swap too much mb. Pls help me out with a network that will last.

Demonicide:
you kn i use glo and i have seen the post already.

Don't mind these guys they can only talk of their local area instead they generalized without handfull evidence.

Spygadgets19:

Use Ntel

It's a matter of numbers.

Telcos have to run equipment and divide the operating cost by the subscribers to get a per capita unit cost. So the more the subscriber base or population, the less the cost.

From your calculations, Nigerians spend more. I don't understand what you mean by Lenyans spend more.

it is fools like this that put ideas of price increase in the minds of those blood sucking operators to increase tariff

For example here in Germany, I pay 20 euro (almost 9000 Naira) for 5GB on Lyca Mobile.

For 3GB data na 15 euro... Etc

20 euros is easily affordable for average people in better economy like Germany, but 9,000 naira is a luxury for average people in Nigeria. So the comparison is not accurate. Besides, the services you guys get is miles ahead of Nigerian counterpart. So don't compare, except you want to relocate here and use our crappy, relatively more expensive internet service

NaijaTechGuy:


Use Ntel

pls how is their data plans like?

Sincerely Tired of Nigerian Networks.
Someone should suggest a network that will last. My mb finishes too quickly. Am tired
