YOU ARE WORKING FOR MTN ON THIS THREAD? Right?? Omo jati jati! How much did they pay you?

Bollinger:


Thank God! At least there is one sane one amongst them. I was beginning to lose hope.

sheymoni:


Whatever....... they should ask how BP turned AP overnight. Their threat doesn't hold water. If not for the cluelessness of the present administration, SA should have been placed where they belong

Sandydayz:

I get ur point mister but from what I read, that wasn't a treat....

ocheejemb:


And where is AP now? Where is BP now. Who lost out in the long run?

nonjebose:
That is not an excuse. How many private companies have you seen conducting recruitment the way NIS did? Nigeria is their biggest market in africa. Their customer base in nigeria is bigger than their entire population. You can google it. So who needs who?

fitzmayowa:


Mike ipoki is the current CEO of mtn nigeria, so mtn nigeria is under a nigerian...

chuxyn:


He is a figure head, all the profit is sent back to South Africa.. The 2010 worldcup hosted in South Africa was majorly sponsored by MTN with Nigerian money

onatisi:
so what constitutes a threat? Mtn is directly not even indirectly saying that if nigeria and nigerians try to shut them down either temporarily or permanently they will sack 6000 workers and that it will also affect another 500000 ppl . So does this statement looks like a peaceful comment ? The fact that mtn employs just 6000 workers is even annoying and enough excuse for govt to put them under heavy taxation. With their huge profits and huge network nothing stops mtn from employing at least 10000 to 15000 workers nationwide. Well no be dem fault. I just hope one day we have a leader that will correct all these anomalies.

medar:
He is right but he should have presented that better. He made it sound like Nigeria needs MTN more than it needs Nigerians. All he said is how much problem the closure of the company would bring to Nigeria. He sounded as if the company is running a charity organisation in Nigeria, as if they are not reaping us off.
I believe in a diplomatic approach to ending the xenophobic attacks but all south Africans should stand up to say no to this barbaric acts of their people.

kwametut:
Thelikes of Ghana cant afford to put sanctions on S.A. They will lose out. Their economy is small and theyr still UNDER DEVELOPED after over 55 years of FAILURE AND POOR PLANNING by Kwame Nkrumah and crew.

Today Ghanas economy is at around $36 billion and is smaller than some SA states like KZN. Ghana still can't afford to have NANDOS AND MACDONALDS STORES becos of the SMALL MIDDLE CLASS.

Please GOOGLE this fact about NANDOS, MAC and ghana. Even Robert Mugabe made a joke about Ghana.

kwametut:
Nigeria has only 2 million DSTV users compared to SA's 6 million users. If sure if you boycott DSTV they wont mind losing ya'll. Just imagine 10 people watching one TV. Thats Nigeria for u. SA has the highest number of car ownership in Africa.

onatisi:
how much does south africans pay for dstv subscription and how much do they charge nigerians? Look at the figures and see .

onatisi:
please help me educate them more. Ppl don't know the importance of the nigeria market and it isn't their fault ,I will blame our leaders who have been behaving like beggars and scanvengers to foreign countries. This is what gani told obj then , he said u don't need to go to them,the nigeria market is too big to ignore ,even paypal had to comeback to the nigeria market when they saw how alibaba was making huge billions from a place they thought wasn't good. Many ppl on this thread even don't know the genesis of the gsm operations and what went on then ,those that remember the happenings then will agree with me that mtn will go to any lenght to remain in nigeria . Let them go to their iran market and make the kind of billions of dollars they are making here in nigeria.

all4naija:

Not only making billions of dollar and attack Iranian citizens in South Africa to see how the people will react. I can wager on this that Iranians will burn MTN in their country to the ground.

kwametut:
IRAN, CHINA, INDIA,BRAZIL,RUSSIA,INDONASIA EVEN USA,UK,GERMANY,HOLLAND,OZ,NZ ARE OUR FRIENDS WE WILL NEVER BURN THEIR INVESTMENT IN S.A.

kwametut:
Your N1500-N5000 is nothing to what SAns pay and note most of us OWN MORE THAN ONE DSTV DECODERS. Example I pay for 4 decoders and pay for INSURERANCE. I pay for my house in Gornubie,EL SA former white suburb is over 60% black now, my flat/apartment in Joburg and my 2 sisters residence at UCT.

onatisi:
u still haven't and didn't answer the question I asked. The number of decoders u have is irrelevant. The question is how much do dstv charge for subscription in sa ? Let's compare the cost of their different packages with the cost they charge nigerians for the same packages.
