Story for the gods.....
There are at least three other similar telecom firms in Nigeria that will simply expand it's services & scope of operations and assimiliate such workforce effortlessly, or worse still, nationalise that damn offshoot company of hating barbarians called Zulus.
Just waiting for the first move to join the vandalism, after all we did not start it.

See how this ppl dey threaten Nigeria my country...let our government closed the company and let see who will lose more? We are talking about live here not biz, once zuma can't help the situation of the issue going on then let mtn face the music. If u watch the video u all cry...our government is dem week, let them close down mtn, dstv, afrosam and other companies SA have in Nigeria u all see that the stupid zuma will address the issue immediately. But our stupid law maker just sitting in the office thinking our mtn will settle them not to close down SA business in my dear country. I cant wait till May 29th.

Why didn't they warns on the potential profit loss on their part?

Closing them down will definitely have a chain reaction.

if nigeria privatized bp to ap, nigeria can do better by buying out the sa outfit and there are capable nigerians home and abroad that will pay pennies per dollar face value and do better job. if white and black sa can't appreciate the 'stand by your people' nigeria did eradicate apartheid and in post apartheid where they are now making out like bandits, its better that 9ja shows its fangs.

BOYCOTT THEM!!! NIGERIANS WILL NOT DIE. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in ordr to reap the long term gain. Long term, Nigeria is better off without these racist exploiters who only use you as cheap labour while they amass millions from your blood and sweat, kick them out and make them suffer, let me see where else they will go in the world to sell their crappy services, they know they cant venture into Europe or Asia as those markets are already controlled by bigger players in the telecoms industry, fck them I hope this protest gets bigger and bigger and eventually bankrupts them.

Rubbish,if you shut down,the other network would expand,leading to them moping up the over 6000,plus the profit would no-longer be leaving Nigeria so its a stronger Nigerian economy,please let us shut mtn down


Adesiji77:
MTN Nigeria on Monday warned that should there be attacks on its facilities, it might be forced to close shop and 99 per cent of its over 6,000 workforce in the country, who are Nigerians, would be thrown into the labour market.

It also said that calls for the boycott of its services were unjustified as such an action would affect its support chain, which could cause another 500,000 Nigerians to lose their means of livelihood.

The company stated this in Lagos some hours after two groups protested in its Abuja and Benin offices against the killing of foreigners in its home country, South Africa.

According to the Corporate Service Executive, MTN Nigeria, Mr. Wale Goodluck, there are only 12 expatriates working for the company in the country, compared to a workforce of 6,000 Nigerians.

Goodluck said, “So, if people go ahead with their threats to attack our facilities, what that means is that we may be forced to close down the business in Nigeria and about 6,000 Nigerians that make up 99 per cent of our workforce will be unemployed.

“Then, when you look at our support chain, we have about 500,000 Nigerians gainfully employed. So, boycotting our services simply means destroying so many other Nigerian businesses and making over 500,000 other Nigerians to lose their jobs.

“This business supports a lot of businesses across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Many of the businesses that are affiliated to South Africa are in the retail space, supporting the growth of Nigeria and employing so many Nigerians.”

He noted that the company had spent in excess of $15bn on capital expenditure growing the telecommunications business in Nigeria.

“We see no revenge of Xenophobia and we commend the role the Nigerian High Commissioner in South Africa has played; at least there has been no fatality on the part of any Nigerian,” Goodluck added.
