$8.1b: CBN Raises Mtn’s Hope by edunwablog: 1:32am On Oct 08, 2018
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) may reduce the $8.1billion it ordered MTN Nigeria to repatriate as part of an ongoing disagreement, its governor Godwin Emefiele said yesterday.

The MTN and the CBN are in a dispute over the transfer of $8.1 billion of funds which the bank said the company had sent abroad in breach of foreign-exchange regulations. Nigeria accounts for a third of MTN’s annual core profit.

“I don’t think it will be staying at $8.1 billion,” Emefiele said during a visit to London, adding he expected the issue to be dealt with “amicably and equitably”.

“I want to believe that the figures will reduce. Whether they will be dropped completely, I honestly cannot say at this time.”

Emefiele said the CBN had received documents two weeks ago from MTN and four lenders involved in the case –

Standard Chartered, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Citibank and Diamond Bank – and was in communications with all parties involved.

“The central bank will be examining these, then it will be escalated up to my level,” he said, adding he expected to get the results in a couple of weeks.

The two sides are locked in a court dispute over the transaction. The central bank filed a counter-claim on Friday to a court request by MTN, which is seeking to stop the bank from forcing it to bring back the money.

Emefiele said the MTN case was a one-off, and the central bank was not looking at transactions involving any other companies operating in Nigeria.

“We respect the sanctity of these companies,” he said.

Shares in MTN lost almost five per cent over the past week.

Emefiele also said the CBN would continue to intervene in the foreign exchange markets, adding that he believed in a stable exchange rate regime.

Nigeria has been battling to defend its currency and shore up its reserves of around $44 billion, hobbled by lower oil prices. At the same time, the oil exporter has suffered from high inflation, which edged up to 11.2 percent at its last reading – well above the central bank’s 6-9 percent target.

Emefiele said Nigeria’s current stance of monetary tightening would continue.

CBN should be careful with the way they handle foreign companies that came to do business here , there no time we need foreign investment like now when we have a dwindling economy but here they are strangulating, a foreign telecom company and three foreign banks for offence of repatriation of profits.

Yes there is regulation in repatriation but it should be handled carefully as it is not theft they way some people say it, if I should invest in Ghana it will be very bad for their government to tell me that I cannot move my profit to my country Nigeria , I imagine how EFCC went to one of the foreign bank to ransack its headquarters as if they stole because of this case

Everything about Buhari government is chasing away investors which will surely endanger growth.

To be honest for Nigeria economy to prosper we need to send away Buhari out of government as his mission is to wreck Nigeria

The most reason Nigeria is like a retard nation is due to the facts when laws are broken by big companies or influential leaders, the law is made to pardon them. This why corruption cannot leave this nation.. Will mtn try this nonsense from South Africa and not face the outcome of the consequence?

Or are they not enlighten about the law? They actually are. It is because they know they have a shit hole president who knows nothing about rules of laws and not business inclined. As long the president is concerned money will come to the nation.

A woman's chance of giving birth to a baby with Down's syndrome increases after the age of 35.

Can a woman below 35 have a child with Down's? Yes but slim

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes
People with Down's have an extra pair of the 21st chromosome.


The major problems these individuals face are
1. Heart problems
2. Obesity
3. Reduced life expectancy
4. Reduced intelligence
5. Risk of leukaemia( a kind of blood cancer)
5. Recurrent infections
6. Spinal problems
7. Dementia

Sadly, Down's cannot be prevented for now

If you have a child with Down's:
They'll need special schools
They'll need unconditional love.
They'll need specialist care
They'll need encouragement to become independent

They are individuals.

It is not a debt. The money belongs to MTN.
The disagreement is about the repatriation.

MTN owns the money. What they did wrong was remove it from the Nigerian economy.
This is not government money.
