3 things Nigerians hate hearing and seeing are “there’s no light”, “you can’t make this call due to insufficient airtime,” and “you have 10mb remaining”.
In this Nigerian economy, data is life. It powers our businesses, our social lives, and even our sanity. So, if you don’t feel the tariff increase that all the network providers have recently made, then you’re either an Odogwu or a Nepo baby, but for the rest of us, the struggle is real.
If you’ve ever thought about never running out of airtime and data in this economy, you’re not alone. For that reason, here are the best 5 tips to help you stay rich in Data and Airtime.
Let’s dive right in.
Master the Art of Connecting to Hotspot
If Wi-Fi is a blessing, then hotspot is divine favor. All you need is one friend with data, and you’re covered. Manage yours and make sure you don’t abuse theirs.
Don’t be the person who connects, then immediately starts streaming YouTube videos, downloading TV shows, or an entire season of a movie. You’ll be blocked ASAP.
Act humbly, say things like, “Abeg boss, just for WhatsApp.” Then quickly reply to all your chats, update your status, and watch one or two IG reels before your friend notices.

Earn Airtime and Data money by posting Content
Yes! Real money. On Fusion, content is king. Instead of scrolling until you see 10mb remaining, you can post helpful, funny, and interesting content on the Fusion app.
Aside from the usual likes and comments, Fusion users (Fusers) can gift you money if your content matches their vibe. And guess what? Fusion has made that easy for you with communities of different interests.
So, round up your funny screenshots, those beauty tips you’ve been saving, or those fashion wears you’ve bookmarked and post them on a Fusion community that goes with the vibe.
If you play your cards right, this is like a steady income for airtime and data. You can also pay your light bills or you can withdraw your money to another account if you like.

Catch Promos Quick
If you have that one friend who knows all the Network providers’ working cheat codes and awoof bundles. Hold that friend tight.
Gone are the days when Network providers would give us back-to-back awoof; now these promos come and go very fast. Always look out for which network is giving extra call bundles, double data, or 5x your recharge deal.
Timing is key. If you snooze, you lose. Always check up with that friend, be alert, stay updated with your network news, and make sure you milk the promo very well, like it’s your birthright.
Learn the Ancient Art of Self-Control
Except if you work in customer care or you collect loans from people, there’s no need to call everyone on your contact list because you just recharged.
Control yourself and strategize your calls, call only the people who you recently missed their call or are at the top of your reach-out list.
The same thing goes for you, who just bought data for the third time today. Manage your data like your life depends on it.
Stop binge-watching YouTube videos and stop scrolling from one app to another. Close Instagram. Delete Snapchat. Those funny videos won’t buy you data.

Two SIMs Are Better Than One
Never rely on just one network. Keep a backup SIM for emergencies or when one provider decides to disgrace you with poor network coverage.
Rotate different sims, exploit their bonuses, and always stay connected. Side hustlers know: multiple SIMs = unlimited survival. If MTN doesn’t want to provide bonus awoof, switch to Airtel, if Airtel data plan is too expensive, port to Glo.

These days, your sanity, your hustle, and even your relationships depend on being online. You can manage without light, you can manage without fuel, but without data, you’ll feel it deep inside you that you’re missing everything.
So, imagine scrolling, posting, learning, and still getting enough money to stay connected without asking friends for hotspots or borrowing data.
That’s where Fusion comes in. With Fusion, you can turn your time online into actual gift money for airtime and data, while you go about your day scrolling happily online.
