Abstract:
This study highlighted the various effect of Internet on Nigerians; literature work was deployed to exhaustively harness the important of Internet in economical development, social activities etc. Data were obtained from Network “k” mobile communication network in Nigeria, which involves voice and data usage intensity for various years in Nigeria. Questionnaires were deployed in Ekpoma environment to determine the busy hours of data usage from the subscribers. It is observed from the analysis that there is a geometric increase in data package (Internet) usage, were compared to voice usage over the years in Nigeria. In addition, it is observed that the busy hour lies between 6.00 am to 12:00noon hrs witnessed the highest number of subscriber data usage intensity, followed by the period between 12.00noon to 6.00 pm. These peak hours which lies between 6:00 am to 12:00 were probably caused by internet activities such were e-banking, online admission and clearance, YouTube activities, social medium etc, encaged by Nigerian populist in gust of information.
