TonyeBarcanista:
The news is more of speculation. MTN can't afford that kind of money. Except there will be some kind of waivers, a suspended payment or spread payment. Otherwise, the company CAN'T afford it. We also can't afford to have their license suspended.

I think that news says some kind of arrangement which tends towards spread which is still OK. President Muhammadu Buhari is working, haters are hating. This is how to be a president not a president who will pick up his phone and call Asari...ehnn bros, you sure say dem kidnap those girls at all? Asari: Oga no mind those Awusa people, dem no kidnap anybody, forget them.
Jona: OK I hear, I don talk say this people no want me for this Aso Rock, make God punish them. No be only Chibok girls. Madam Peshe: My horseband leave those pipo jare, nothing go comot us from this place, if dem like make them kill everybody for da side, yeye pipul.

In Jonathan's cabinet, communications minister and NCC would have collected some cash and share and that would be the end of the matter. Ernest Ndukwe is a stinkingly rich man today on top of subscribers pains.

Subscribers in for trouble shaaaaaaa #aftermath
no subscriber is in trouble and mtn knows this. We don't have a monopoly in our telecom sector. Nowadays almost everyone of us have more than one line. If mtn decides to be stubborn,they will lose a lot of customers. Glo,etisalat,airtel and others are readily waiting to absorb more subscribers.

I hope they know MTN is not dumb and will take this out on Nigerians by mass sacking of workers and other ways. 1trn is too much and silly to me.
Raiders:
MTN Nigeria is not worth that amount of money. If you think MTN is going to pay NCC 1.04 trillion naira then you know nothing about MTN. NCC are also dumb for fineing MTN that amount of money when they know MTN can't afford to pay it. It make them look stupid.

You don't need to get unnecessarily bitter about this issue, NCC didn't just wake up to impose the fine, the 200k/SIM has been spelt out since inception of the SIM registration exercise which MTN is a party to. They can do the calculations themselves and inform the public about it.

seunmsg:


Subscribers are not in any trouble. In fact, subscribers are in for a good time and they should start rejoicing. The era where Mobile telecom operators take their customers for granted is over. NCC is now alive to its regulatory responsibilities and any operator that refuses to play by the rules will be in big trouble. The huge fine imposed on MTN will send a clear message to others to seat up. A new sheriff is in town and it's no longer business as usual.

At all Bro! MTN solely controls 40 percent of the our total GSM user base, and are ARGUABLY Nigeria's largest Foreign investor.

As much as I'm not their fan, I think The Government should slash that amount considerably or arrange a split payment schedule with them running into years.

I was thinking maybe the NCC should just hold them to ransom. I mean in exchange for clemency, They(MTN) should make their services more cheaper especially data services. Like N10 for 1GB....Lol! It's wishful thinking!
Haha @ N10/GB.... So how you wan expect MTN to survive?

Good day gentlemen. Please has anyone noticed that MTN has been taking money from our loaded balances? It happened to me and I will follow it up. I loaded N5000 on my phone. I made one phone call of about minutes to a local number. I slept and woke up and when I opened my bed side drawers, I found an loaded card which I forgot some time ago. Before loading it, I checked my balance and I had only 7350 credit. I have heard people complain about these illegal debits. Pls let's raise our voice and something about this. Few people check their balances and MTN will get away with this. They are doing this in order to pay for the penalty.
It's happened to me a lot of times. only one of em was refunded after several calls. The reps kept telling me stories. It was a female rep that did the refund for me.
