These NCC clowns are thieves. Shay they are trying to run these guys out of Nigeria in connivance with Adenuga and co ba? These guys who took the big risk to invest in Nigeria in the first place and now that the investment is paying off, people are not happy. The regulatory body needs to get it's house in order.

MTN needs to get it's acts together.

What's the problem with mtn and the number 5? Recently they lost 5 million customers and now they're fined 5billion. NCC, $5 billion is way too much money for what they did. This NCC guys are seriously on a plan to buy house in banana island this year. Please mtn users, don't ever dial this code (*606#) until the debt has been paid. Remaining DSTV

I definitely agree that MTN should be fined but a fine of $5 billion is totally ridiculous. How did they arrive at that figure? It makes no sense at all.

You are 100% correct bro, it doesn't take them (MTN)14days to make the money from subscribers with unsolicited SMS lealing to deductions of airtime. But again MTN's loyalty to customers led to this fines. Cuz I remembered what it cost me when my lines were disconnected costing me to losing over 40℅ of my business connections. MTN should settle matters lealing to this with NCC to protect challenges subscribers might face if sanctions get stiver.

Re: Nigeria Fines Telecom Giant MTN $5bn by oz4real83(m): 2:46pm On Oct 26, 2015
bandely:
Even though I'm happy with MTN, this fine is rather too much. I hope they'll reach some sort of agreement for a lower fine.
MTN shouldn't try to take it out on customers though, because I know they are shylock, Hades and the Devil rolled into one! >:-
. The fine isn't too much. Critical situations require critical solutions. Mtn knows the right thing to do but will never do it. They have always believe that "nothing will happen" for getting that a new sherriff is in town. They make many times more than that amount a year!!! If u can't do the time don't do the crime!

NCC is after a means of getting money and not fighting for the poor subscribers, because they did not deactivate unregistered sim u fine dem, why haven't u fine dem all these while they have being illegally charging innocent subscribers, why haven't u fine dem since they have being rendering poor service, why haven't u fine dem for deliberately allowing an android user to spend 2k a month for data...... NCC is a joke.

Sometimes, i dey pity dis country gng by some comments hia wia d citizens don't av a lil clue near d right dat belongs to dem. Its gud to say "yes fine dem, even fine dem more" But who suffers d pain? Shey na ncc wey each telecom operator dey credit dia line for free every months, wit wonderful packages in "gifts" or d citizens wey suffer d stress n poor network issue.
Dat shud b for d customers not deys. Since wey dem don dey fine, una don eva c free credit for una line say "for service inconveniences"? Yet we jump to d high heaven wenever we hia say ncc don fine operator again. Some pple sidan for one place, dey take bck ur moni wey dem no elp u work for n yet, nobody dey ask how e take affect u directly. "ncc fines telecoms operators billions of naira" na only dis dey take us go cloud 9.
