The day I almost paid 50k for a data plan that costs 2k

I was in Yaba last week, rushing to meet a client in VI. My data finishes at the worst possible time, I need to send a document urgently. This guy at a kiosk tells me 50GB for 50k, special plan. I'm about to transfer when something just feels off.

I ask him to show me the USSD code. He starts stammering. Then he says na corporate plan, only works on iPhone. I have an Android. Bros, the way he was sweating, I knew.

I went to the MTN office down the road. The same plan costs 2,500 naira. The guy wanted to collect 50k from me for something that costs 2.5k. In this economy. The thing is, I almost paid because I was in a hurry. That's how they catch us, when we are rushing and not thinking.
