“THE SUMMIT” ON POOR TELEPHONE SERVICES IN NIGERIA AND THE HISTORY OF TELEPHONY

Greetings!
I am Harry Agina. The following video is a conversation on the current terrible state of telephone services in Nigeria, my country of origin. But before the video, I will give you a little corruption information that is not contained in it.

I personally authored and produced the program when I visited Nigeria in 2018 because of my frustration with the sharp practices of telecommunication providers in the country. They’re nothing short of criminal extortionists, with excessive charges for minimal values. It may surprise non Nigerians that the situation today in 2026 is worse than what it was in 2018. Why? Because corruption among the rulers of Nigeria is the reason for the bad situation, and today’s rulers are a gazillion times more corrupt than the rulers back in 2018.

My postulation is that authorities of Nigeria’s Communications regulatory agency–Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)–and members of Nigeria’s National Assembly (NASS) are satanically corrupt and compromised. I will tell you why I allege that this is the reason why the services of telecommunication services are terrible in Nigeria. Remember that a postulation is the act of using known facts to reach a reasonable conclusion.

One fact is that the regulatory agency, the NCC has a duty to ensure that Nigerians receive values for the money they spend on telecommunication services. They should hold the telephone companies accountable against poor services. Another fact is that NASS has a sworn constitutional oversight duty for Nigerians. The lawmakers’ duty is to ensure that NCC does not fail in its constitutional duty to regulate the telecommunication companies to serve Nigerians well. Many critics, including I, postulate that members of NASS and NCC are bribed by the telecommunication companies in Nigeria to overlook their extortion of Nigerians. Yes, I do insist that it is extortion when Nigerians pay so much for telecommunication services and receive what can be said to be the poorest services in the entire world.

I have given you some blunt facts and radical postulationsthat are not quite contained in the following video conversation. Now, let’s see and hear what is contained in it:
