One minute you buy 10GB, the next minute you're getting the "low data" notification. Are Nigerians really being cheated, or is it just our phones, apps, and background usage eating up our data? #WhotPodcast #whotpodcastseason5 #nigerianpodcast #realconversations

Product placement

Pouchers (app): Allows users to receive money, send money, pay bills, and hold Naira. It is presented as a financial service. It is ACTING as the sponsor of the episode and is being promoted. Removing it would change the video's purpose. Pouchers (logo): Appears on mugs and as a watermark. It merely APPEARS and does not affect the video's content. Removing it would not change what happens. MTN (telecom company): Discussed in relation to data billing and network maintenance. It is the subject of the news report and the discussion. Removing it would change the topic. Dell (laptop brand): Visible on a laptop in the background. It merely APPEARS and does not affect the video's content. Removing it would not change what happens.
