So getting your phone to share it's internet connection...
Some phones have a option to "share internet connection" with everything already done, some even have the option to create a WIFI hotspot. Mine has this option but it does not work, it could be a bug in the Dexter rom or it could be that MTN is not allowing this, not sure.
Fear not, here is the geek way of doing it!

I did not change a thing, it worked 100% "out-of-the-box" for me, have a go and let me know if it works for you as well.
