FG has shifted the Nov 16 payment deadline on fine imposed by NCC according to the press release by mtn group:

Shareholders are advised that the Executive Chairman of the Company, Mr Phuthuma Nhleko, has personally met with the Nigerian authorities to continue the ongoing discussions with them regarding the fine of N200,000 for each unregistered subscriber (“the fine”), the equivalent of US$5.2 billion imposed on MTN Nigeria by the Nigerian Communications Commission ("NCC". These discussions include matters of non-compliance and the remedial measures that may have to be adopted to address this.

Although the Nigerian Communications Commission (“NCC”) set a deadline for payment of the fine by Monday, 16 November 2015, shareholders are advised that the Nigerian authorities have, without prejudice, agreed that the imposed fine will not be payable until the negotiations have been concluded.

First to comment...I hereby dedicate this victory to all those who were told u cnt make it...u cn like I jst made this

I don't think this humongous amount would eventually be paid by MTN.

So when is the new deadline? I have a feeling that heavy negotiations are on-going behind the scenes. MTN may eventually pay only a small fraction of the fine.

I can see the handwork of Association of Skuth Africa Voodoo Priests and Sorcerers. They will manipulate our dear government and NCC until our government will part MTN at the back and even pay MTN for damages otherwise why have they not fined DSTV 5trillion for unwholesome practices, exploitation, profiteering, contempt of court and a host of other ignoble activities

Una want carry MTN chop

Someone has been bribed

I'll advice the Nigerian government to stick to the fine as MTN would serve as a scapegoat to other firm that is into noncompliance to regulations.

Yeye dey smell

Mtchew.... Last last they woont pay the 5B

Mctewww..mtn won't pay dis fine..mark my words

B4 un ko

The money is too much

okay

At the end of the day, they must pay. Shittu too needs some money from there to rehabilitate himself and be integrated into the Abuja society. He dresses like a village man from Ibadan. Very soon, he'll upgrade.

MTN pay up!!!

The amount doesn't make any good sense,how can they fine them 1000$ per sim does that make sense
The same Nigerian people who hail the 5billion naira fine would have called for PMB's head if MTN threating to leave Nigeria

money don exchange hands(bribe), typical of Nigerian parastatals

Ok

NCC better collect that money oooo

This is shameful and validates a thumb-down for the Buhari government! What negotiation? Is this government aware that a wholistic definition of corruption will include the scenario it is now playing out? This , overtime, will dent Buhari's international image. Mtcheeew! The change mantra appears warped after all!

If MTN didn't pay up what will then happen with the subscription I just did

FG FG FG, how many times I call una

MTN must pay before the end of this month else radio active thunder will fire u all..

If any consideration must be taken, it must be reduction of the 1.4 trillion to 1.3 Trillion nd must be paid before the month end...

Buhari take note, except u want to run a deficit budget..
