Nigerians blast Buhari over increase in data tariff
Nigerians have taken to social media to express their frustration at the increase in cost for data consumption, which takes effect on December 1.
Most of them have lashed out at President Muhammadu Buhari, claiming that the lanky number one citizen of the most populous black nation in the world is adding to their hardship.
Buhari who was inaugurated in May 2015 has been struggling to bring the much-preached ‘Change’ on which he rode to victory at the polls.
His administration has been battling a dwindling economy, currency crash, poor crude oil output and insecurity to some extent.

In a move to generate internal revenue, Buhari’s administration hinted that it would implement a communication tax, a move many have criticized.
Taking to Twitter to express their anger, Nigerians showed their dissatisfaction at the new data tariff with some drawing a comparison with the previous administration led by Goodluck Jonathan.
He also got a comparison with David Moyes as well.
Here are some tweets for you:
BUHARI IS NO PRESIDENT OF MINE.. MMM IS MY OWN PRESIDENT.. OSIBANJO SHOULD GO AND SLEEP.. BET9JA IS MY VICE..

Buhari has turned his strongest supporters like Obasanjo to critics in just 18 months.
That is how bad one can be.

If Buhari wants to increase data, he should at least level Naira back to what it was first.
Don't come to problem you created for us.
