He asked, "Are our politrickshians using the same internet & mobile services we are using?"

Wanlov then directed his attention to Madam Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Minister for Communications in Ghana.

He asserted that the telcos, especially government-owned entities, were providing sub-standard internet services, causing people to lose money and valuable time.

He asked if she shared the same frustrations with the services and, if not, requested her secret to avoid such issues. He urged her to take necessary action if she, too, was unsatisfied with the services.

“madam @UrsulaOw pls the telcos (govt owned AT in my case) are making us lose money & very valuable time with very very substandard internet. are you also frustrated with their services? if not, tell us your secret. if yes, pls do the needful,” he posted.

Wanlov's tweets join nationwide concerns about the quality of telecommunications services in Ghana, prompting a call for government officials to address these issues and ensure that citizens receive reliable services.
