In The Sense that, The Network Provider you are using doesn't work well in your locality. This most times is the first possible cause of High Ping in a game like Free Fire. Most times, Network Providers have a limit to Areas in which their Network Reception can Handle, due to reasons such as Network Tower or Mast Locations, Geographical Factor like Urban and Rural Areas. We all know Rural Areas get poor reception than Urban Areas. This is one of the Factors of High Ping In Free Fire.

This is very Important also. Since this post is targeted towards Nigerians more, some points will be made targeting Nigerians. Not to Devalue any Brand or Company, we all know they are Some Network Providers in Nigeria with a very Poor Network Reception History, take for example Glo and 9Mobile.
Your Network Provider may be the cause of your High Ping in Free Fire. Generally, Airtel and MTN are faster Networks compared To Glo and 9Mobile. So choosing a Faster Provider for your game is a very wise move to make. However, some Areas may experience Faster Network Reception than others, so take it upon yourself to know which one works better.
3. DEVICE NETWORK (SETTINGS):

This is 2024, and we are in the Age of 5G Network, however it may be shocking that there are some people using 3G Network Max Enabled Phones. I mean phones with no 4G Network and above. This can cause serious High Ping and Lagging Problem, so I suggest you save up and get a 4G Enabled Smartphone device with Moderate Specifications.
4. SERVER LOCATION:

HOW TO SOLVE HIGH PING PROBLEM IN FREE FIRE
From the Above Causes, we can Deduce the Following Solutions to them;
1. Since It's not easy moving about or changing location with ease, I can simply suggest testing Different Network Providers in your locality and choose the one that works Best for you. This point covers problems One and Two.
2. For Your Device Network, as stated briefly above, Changing your smartphone from a 3G To a 4G enabled smartphone is the way around it. And if your device is a 4G Device, maybe turn it On to 4G from your Device Network Preference Settings.
3. The issue of Server, can be solved most times by Game Developers and owners, if you must change to a different server, then you have to create a whole new Account using Basic Tools like a VPN to hide your location, since IP Addresses are used to Allocate and Point Your Account to a server.
4. Consider Using a WiFi Network rather than a Cellular Network. WiFi Networks or Routers are faster in Speed and Reception most times compared To Cellular Networks on Smartphones. Getting yourself a WiFi Router may help also, even if it's not a High End Costly one, A Pocket Mifi May Suffice. Read my post on WiFi Routers when you Click Here.
