• A Nigerian man has shared how he went around a need that would have cost him a whopping N486k
• The Starlink user needed a mounting kit for his network and did not like the huge price the standard one retailed for
• He shared how he came up with an idea to get a local one, which cost him way less than the standard one

A Nigerian man, @cyberomin, who uses Elon Musk's Starlink, has shown how he saved over N400k by going local in his choice.

@cyberomin was to get a mounting equipment for his Starlink and found out a ridgeline mount kit cost N486k.

Not satisfied with the price, he said he got one Baba Jimoh to make a local replica of the standard mount kit.

@cyberomin said the local one cost him N10k and took pride in his decision to settle to go local.
