Abeg make dem remove 900million for the money share give the citizens joor, at least 3,000,000 go reach each person.
900 million naira divided by 180 million nigerians equals 5 naira per nigerian.

My only question is all these monies paid, what are they doing with the money?
Time for accountability

South African telecoms giant MTN said Friday it would pay a $1.7 billion fine to the Nigerian government in a “full and final settlement” over its failure to disconnect unregistered mobile phone users.

The company said in a statement that “MTN Nigeria has agreed to pay a total cash amount of Naira 330 billion over three years.”

Africa’s biggest wireless operator was fined $3.9 billion last year and has since been in negotiations with the government over the payout.

For those of you rejoicing, I hope you don't have MTN aims because na unable go pay

The other networks have been cutting their prices so if MTN decide to raise theirs they will lose even more business.

The amount per person was made known long ago. MTN was the only company in operation in Nigeria that refused to cut the services to such a large number of users, that is the reason for the fine.

It has nothing to do with hatred for South Africa.

They knew the rules long in advance - everyone else complied.
