This was disclosed in Abuja by the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Umar Garba Dambatta during a chat with DAILY POST. According to him, the commission had noticed that the level of data usage was growing across the country and there was need for an affordable and acceptable price floor for data.

Why Cristiano Ronaldo is hated by many and loved by more

Image
By Michael Hlophe, in South Africa Special to USAfrica multimedia networks (Houston) and USAfricaonline.com @USAfricaLive Hated by many, loved by more, but respected by all. This is normally the case for all the individuals that perform at the highest level. I have always felt that CR7 has had to prove himself more than most athletes. He is on fire as an exceptional athlete, but gets burnt by haters more often than not. Any individuals that feel that he deserves no respect should google his accolades and use YouTube as a reference of his abilities. Football lovers are aware that Ronaldo is a goal scoring machine and the most influential player for Portugal and Real Madrid. The same could be said about him in his time as a Manchester Uniteed footballer. He has won everything there is to win (except for a FIFA World Cup gold medal) at club and national level. He is labeled selfish when he outscores his counterparts such as Lionel Messi. When the likes of Luis Suarez outscor...

Davido shows off his new mansion

Image
Singer Davido is definitely living up to his 30 billion in his account claim. In a recent post on Instagram, the Omo Baba Olowo showed off his new crib and from the looks of it, he is super proud of his latest achievement. Trust his fans to hail him. At age 25, Davido, in monetary success, has gained more than millions of Nigerians far older than he his. The singer who never fails to rhyme about his material wealth left a lot of fans wishing to be him after he showed the gorgeous house he built with his own money. Many say Davido is the master of cockiness, however his behaviour is justified. At least with the house news he dropped on the internet, it is safe to say he puts his money where his mouth is. But money is not all Davido is good for, the singer is currently on tour and has been shutting every city he steps into down. We guess having a weighty bank account and being a master singer is the only way to truly live like Davido. Source NAIJ.COM
