Is MTN the most hated network??

Yes....a very controversial topic.
I raised this because I've noticed that, anything MTN does......be it promo, CSR etc always comes with bashing and public hate from especially here...NL.

MTN has network problem for a few hours.....problem, your credit N2.33 mysteriously disappears......arrrrrrhhh....MTN don start their wayo. MTN does this......MTN does that......puhleeeeaze...as if it doesn't happen on other networks.
MTN's own is just escalated to the point of no return.

People have forgotten so soon that MTN have been running promos since June non-stop till they were halted by NCC. Now people will soon argue that they were trying to redeem their battered image and also trying to win back their old customers who are drifting to other networks.
People must drift......whether you like it or not.
Some other will say all their promo na lie-lie......now lemme ask, which network or organisation no dey lie?? FBI, SSS, FG, EFCC, Judiciary....they all lie. SO MTN lies......kini big deal?? mscheeeeeeew.
Nigerians don't like to read T&Cs before entering into any contract. They just assume that whatever it may be....it will favour them.(ludicrous)

Many people claim to have abandoned/discarded their MTN SIM thereby having nothing to do with the network(call and data), so where all these gigantic balance sheets/profits that MTN keep posting on a daily basis.....abi na spirits dey use their network??

Anyone who says that he doesn't have an MTN SIM....hmmmm.......I seriously doubt the sincerity of that person.
Now....open your phone contact list.......scroll through it and if you say that your contact list doesn't contain @least 60% MTN numbers.......then your fone is seriously mal-functioning.

Now the recent one I found so amusing, MTN recently came out with improved data plans.....was posted here on NL.....the thread made frontpage the moment it came out and in less than 8hours....the thread had reached 6pages.

Now GLO came out with theirs....it made frontpage.....and after over a day of being on frontpage.......it has barely reached 2pages on the thread.

Etisalat came out with their BB 20k call plan to all networks.....it made frontpage then......it barely reached 3pages.

Airtel with their BB 1GB plan that can be tethered to a PC, as popular as it is still can't surpass the 3page mark when it was on NL frontpage.

Now, what I can't understand is....why must almost everybody continue to hate on MTN.
Is it their fault that they are ahead of the game.

I even have on good authority that MTN leases their bandwidth to some other networks.....now I wouldn't want to mention names, make I no spoil other network biz.

So my advice to all the MTN haterz.....quit the hating and embrace them. They will only get better.

One thing I do know for sure is that for MTN to be able to continuously draw all these criticisms to themselves shows that they just might be doing something right.

Sir, being a pro-MTN apologist isn't going to make anyone forget his or her ordeals with them in a hurry. Did you not rightly say the contact list of the average Nigerian is approximately 60% MTN (I should agree with your figures for the sake of argument)? That, in itself, should answer the question of why an MTN front page thread is longer: more people are swindled by their scamming schemes than any other network service provider; since it's only possible to gyp your own subscribers out of their money, one who is not a victim of other networks would not come to castigate them online.

When next you check your airtime balance on your phone and you find a promo advertised on the screen, please check if you'll find anything like "Terms and conditions apply". You only hear that in radio and TV adverts, but the sure avenue of reaching all subscribers i.e the mobile adverts doesn't have that clause. This is a calculated attempt to skin as many subscribers as possible of their cash

Finally, go back to the MTN thread you are talking about and you'll find that the main reason why it's 6 pages as you claim is because lots of people are trying to migrate to Airtel and are asking several questions that are also being addressed by several others, thus lengthening the thread.

Do you still think they are being unfairly criticised?

Most hated but most subscribed...

Do you know the number of times I've been inundated with unsolicited text messages asking me to recharge with 100 naira and get 500 naira within the last couple of weeks? As expected, they don't make good their promises (I've also found that they deliberately make it work for some people and not for some other ones to confuse you into thinking that you probably have not satisfied some condtions; the conditions are never stated and even the customer service agents are not privy to them.)

Simply put, they are the biggest of 4 scam artists.

Let the MOBILE NUMBER PORTABILITY kick-start in December as promised by NCC and you'd know that the only reason why their subscriber base is wider than others is the fear of losing one's number (Although it looks like NCC has been compromised by some of these service providers- imagine having to wait for 90 long days before the porting is effected!).

Actually mtn is my best network.

Why is this thread not progressing?

Hating them is making them richer

Mtn na wayo Kompany o.. They giv with d left hand nd grab wit the right hand.. O ga o

@op, i cant hep it but laughhhhh!!!! .
despite d frustration and all, MTN is my only line(planning to get anoda line though)

I don't have and I am not considering getting one. I bought one briefly when my glo acted but the sim is sleeping in the bin now

To Be Sincere I Like MTN but i hate when Their Network gives Me Hiccups.. Lol

@Post,
There is a reason, dear. It's a South African company. It must not dare be successful. South Africans are going to think they are better than " the giant of Africa". SAD

YES, because they offer nothing to NIGERIANS PEOPLE, it only to give i and collect 10 from the pple

MARKETERS SAY"ANY PUBLICITY, IS GOOD PUBLICITY" AS A MARKETER I WOULD RIDE ON THIS, IF I WERE MTN.

BRAND AWARENESS IS AMAZINGLY HIGH, WITHOUT SPENDING MILLIONS IN ADVERTISING. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE THE THOUGHT LEADERS IN NAIJA. THEY GET PEOPLE TALKING.

Oh Gosh! Anytime i see any topics like this i feel as if needles are popping out of my body. MTN sucks!!!

The kind f0rk up wey MTN dey gv make people hate them. When they treat u well today expect the other side tomorrow.
