Thanks for this.
I still marvel at ability of Nigerians to spiritualize everything & tie it to some rituals.
No wonder we are this backward.
Scientific reasoning & analysis is lacking.
How can a call lead to people jumping into water? How can?

Keep an open mind bruv.. ull be surprised at the things that go on in the dark when you asleep... #fact

It is an MTN NG no. For promotional messages, that's the reason why it can't be called.

The short code is 4900, instead of calling with 4900 which many users won't pick up, the 08030004900 was introduced.

Have you ever tried calling MTN to confirm if it's actually from them?

Well, my roommate missed a call from that number, after we called MTN customer care to clear our doubts, the lady who answered denied it was from MTN.
So whose side are we on exactly?

Lol, no sane customer care rep will agree its from them Because it's for promotional purposes and it's unlawful because they scam operators. This can get them sued by NCC.

Actually most of those promotional numbers are run by 3rd party companies with the authorisation of MTN.

There is nothing as painful than seeing educated people spread this apparent lies.


Whoever sends me this kind of message automatically enters my recycle bin. I can never engage such an individual in any brain tasking, business-related, or sensible discussion.
