Synthetic Africa Telecom Social Media Sentiment (Nigeria)
Instagram
Twitter (X)Synthetic data: 150,000 generated social-media posts about Nigerian telecom operators (MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile), published on Hugging Face by THUgewu as 'africa-synth'. The posts are not real user content. The file groups them into 978 rows by platform, operator, city and sentiment, with one list per field (post ID, time, text, issue category, likes, shares, comments, reach, sentiment score, operator response). Suitable for testing sentiment and customer-service pipelines, not for studying real users.
