Mtn bribed the just like dstv did. What's wrong with our judicial system! We have enough network providers, need more? Create more! Empower individuals to start up! shut this Yello fevers down and let the others learn from them. Over 20 network providers in the US, sms is free, calls are relatively cheap.

Sincerely dunno the jinx this SA guys have over us, or our big men has shares invest in their companies here, cuz I don't see why this guy's will kill us in the name of xenophobia and yet Shoprite, dstv, mtn is still chopping our heads here.

The white man control a vast section of your economy and you choose to blame your fellow black and claim it's xenophobia, what the hell is wrong with Africa and Africans.
The fine will scare away foriegn investors.Privatised discos which have disappounted nigerians are not fined. This is hypocrisy

I don't know if bonds work in Nigeria, but I will suggest the AGF ask the court to mandate MTN post a bond equal to the penal sum from NCC.

$7.7 billion! That was money that could have stayed in our financial system were mtel hands not tied behind its back by corrupt and unpatriotic Nigerians while mtn raked in the money. What is status quo ante bellum here? Does it envisage MTN staying transactions in re its bank account in the interim. Mareva is an equitable relief meant to ensure the applying party is not irredeemably left with a bloodied nose. A course of conduct has been established! There goes our courts again!

What are you talking about? The report provided a historical trend of MTN moving funds into a foreign account (countries listed), heck MTN moved close to $1 billion in one single day and you're asking for evidence to show if MTN wants to move funds. Isn't it common sense that MTN has the capacity to move these funds if they so desire? I think you're the one with the moronic assertions.
This your history of one day withdrawal did it have anything to do with a fine? Or owners of money can't withdraw their money's from their accounts when they like? You'll just be exposing ur ignorance further. Just shut it already.

MTN......just pay up please.

That is the problem with Nigeria....people refuse to obey the laws....and everyone thinks it is normal.

Well....it ain't.

Does your government obey the courts. Now it prays the courts for favour. Talk of pissing on your own parade. If you want the rule of law to work for you, obey it. You cannot be undermining institution ane expect anything less than a banana republic. MTN knows this.

That still does not excuse MTN ripping us off....or government not obeying court orders.

Which, if you understood my post earlier.....you would have seen I regard both as wrong.

I think this mtn lawyers must hv seen a very big hole in our laws that they wanna exploit otherwise I can't fathom this effontery against the govt.
From the onset mtn never denied that they erred but they merely approach d govt for to temper justice with mercy which d govt did by reducing the fine ,but by going to court nw to avoid paying is tantamount to insolence which no sane govt should condone.
I will recommend a speedy trial of this case to teach other would be mtn a lesson.
I also strongly concur with d AGF that mtn want to repatriate their funds to avoid paying, this is because mtn investment in Nigeria is very liquid. U wnt beleive that even their head office in Falomo ikoyi is a leased apartment talk less of all the masts they use which is owned nd serviced by IHS.
So what do u think the govt will hold on to when mtn repatriates all their liquid funds in banks.
For those of u supporting MTN I pity ur unborn children.

The Court Understands Better than the Federal Government. Any Shortage in MTN Output will lead to poor tax payable by MTN and result to shortage in Revenue accruable to the Federation account.

If Federal Government is banking on The Liquidated Nitel taking over MTN, They should alow it to operate for at least a year and determine for themselves if it can raise enough revenue as MTN before they can decide to squeeze life out of MTN.

But MTN Knows the truth. Nigeria can not be the same again without MTN. That is why they went ahead to liquidate Visafone even though they have a fine to pay.

70% of nigerians think like this.....its unfortunate
Re: Court Bars FG From Freezing MTN Bank Accounts by Nobody: 5:45am On Jan 13, 2016

The Nigerian government better properly privatise Nitel. These guys are cleaning out! In the kind of crunch we are in it should be a Nigerian company raking such amounts. Goodness!
