A data bundle enabling unlimited access to one of Nigeria’s largest social media networks ‘Eskimi’ has been unveiled by MTN.

Eskimi, which is a mobile social network, says it has approximately 6 million users in Nigeria.

And the data bundle to enable easier access to Eskimi from MTN Nigeria is planned to become available in two packages: a weekly offering for 25 Naira and monthly for 60 Naira.

Users of the Eskimi bundle can then browse the social network for the selected period without any additional charge, says MTN.

All aspects of Eskimi pages can be browsed via the package, including the likes of messages, profiles, fan clubs, chat rooms, forums and even music content.

Vytas Paukstys, chief executive officer of Eskimi, says: “We are happy to announce this partnership with the largest telecommunications provider in Nigeria. Eskimi users are staying online on average for one hour every day. This will be good news for Eskimi members, as they will enjoy the service and also save money”.

Larry Annetts, chief marketing officer of MTN Nigeria says: “Eskimi has shown tremendous growth in Nigeria, hitting a 6 million user mark this year in just few years after the service was launched in Nigeria.”

“We are happy to partner with Eskimi in introducing these new Eskimi data bundle plans,” Annetts says.
