Instead of paying the money to NCC it should be used directly by MTN to develop social infrastructure for youths, schools, create green parks around the country, etc. If this money is pay to NCC we aren't going to see anything comes out of it because the leaders are all f**king corrupt. They are going to divert it to their own accounts.

The same way they reduced their tariff wen we cried for per second billing? Abi the way they reduced their call tariff when we experienced dropped calls?

Wait ....the same way they reduced tariff when we cried for equity in data bundle cost with Blackberry users? Ok ....the same way they reduced the cost of SIM Card which they were selling for close to 50k per line?

I say eh .....the Thunder wey go fire their Ma$$t still de look for fuel grin

d way MTN will slice their subscribers like a 2 edged sword just to recover from their loss will be so gruesome.

Their own discrepancies sef just too much, I woke up one day to find out my sim wasn't active no more, the next day people started complaining that when they called my number what they here from the receiving end is a woman's voice saying "hello, ti o ti wa sọrọ". why and how did they allocate my registered and active line to another customer still dey surprise me till date.

They will never slice me. I have two of their sims and the two are on debit presently. That is how its going to be for at least 3months. Except for contingencies.

Temporarily switched over to glo. Being making calls with free minutes since last week.

I will even encourage Nigerians to borrow money on their MTN sims and if they can afford to not load on the sim at least for 3months.

What about NEPA, who will fine them for ripping Nigerians off from time immemorial.

People pay for services not rendered and the citizens are compelled to pay, either on postpaid or prepaid platform. NEPA make billions monthly and the money ends partly in private hands. Same with the fine.

Where is all the refunded Abacha loot? Nigerians should be asking questions on these things.

Even if you give Nigeria government $10b today, 97% or more of the money will end in private individuals account. So most people are happy about the fine, like they share out of it. Kobo, you won't see.

Where is all the Internally generated Revenues going into?

MTN remains the best network, not only in Nigeria but across Africa.

So the other networks are saints? Story.


Good question.
Re: MTN Seeks To Reduce $5.2bn NCC Fine by hotboz: 9:45pm On Nov 02, 2015
EVERYONE HAS A STORY;

A 24-year old boy looking out through a train's
window shouted, Dad, look, "the trees are going
behind; they are moving very fast" his Dad simply
stared at him with so much joy and smiled! A young
couple seated nearby looked at the 24-year old and
thought to themselves, he's so grown up but so
childish, he must have a mental disorder for his
father not to be bothered. Suddenly the young man
exclaimed again; Dad, look, "the clouds are running
with us" the couple could not resist and said to the
old man, why don't you take your son to a good
doctor may be a psychiatrist? The old man smiled and
said I just did. We are just coming from a doctor but
not a psychiatrist ; we are just coming from the
hospital. My son was blind from birth. He just got his
sight today for the very first time, his behavior may
seem stupid to you, it's more than a miracle to me.
The young couple just sat down there, lost for words
with a mixture of tears and shame in their eyes..
Everybody on earth has a story; don't judge people so
fast or jump into conclusion about their private
affairs; you don't know where they are coming from
or what they have to deal with.
The truth behind their story might surprise you. Take
it easy with others, even if you have a perfect life.
Let us keep working towards the good of all. GOD BLESS!

I don't think this MTN fine thing is just about unregistered sims alone. Afterall, other mobile networks can't be said to have done theirs 100%. Think it's part of a larger diplomatic dispute playing out. SA goveernment had kinda disrespected us which became more vocal in the last administration. Maybe it's a way of getting back at them cos that amount is quite outrageous.

Seriously i don't get it. What did MTN do for them to be fine such huge amount of money and the interesting part is they are willing to pay a huge amount and not the amount being fine to them. That network sha!

Correct guy. If only I fit troway dia sim.

I've been using it since I think 2004. My glo is my private line.


Those people are wicked but I've gotten their tactics.

I delete their text immediately

I don't pick odd numbers except its 180

And I'm careful when pressing or picking up my phone so as not to press yes to their dubious flash messages.

while we recognise that what MTN did was a security breach and open defiance to authority, we should not also forget the following
1. MTN employs thousands of Nigerians directly or indirectly
2. MTN foundation award scholarship, build university connects e.t.c
3. MTN believed in the potency of Nigeria market when others were running away
4. MTN breaks monopoly just as other telecom companies breaks monopoly (remove MTN and u are one step closer to monopoly)
5. MTN has announced to quote in NSE next year which will boost the stock market

Therefore, it will be humane if got could reduce her fine

What about NEPA, who will fine them for ripping Nigerians off from time immemorial.

We still buy fuel even at N200 to N250 per litre, (oil producing country indeed, in Late Fela voice "suffering and smiling"wink, we buy generator, service the generator, buy inverters, buy the batteries, pay for installation, buy solar too and install it. We still pay NEPA bills....what a country? Hypocrisy everywhere.

People pay for services not rendered and the citizens are compelled to pay, either on postpaid or prepaid platform. NEPA make billions monthly and the money ends partly in private hands. Same with the old Nitel.....or are they SA companies too?

We are sending wrong signals to the international bodies,potential foreign investors and world at large. Nigeria is over 55 years and grossly undeveloped. So Nigerians alone cannot develop Nigeria, we need other people just as they need us. You can fine, nobody is saying you can't, but not this huge amount?

Even America, I mean America has alot of China investments in their country. They never fine them $1b, with all their infrastructures o, like constant light, good roads, security, friendly government policies, no community issues o, like Omonile while building a base station, or a customer touch points, no area boys, no multiple taxation,etc. Doing business in Nigeria is not that easy, coupled with all the issues on ground before. It is easy to stay in the comfort of your room and on your laptop and criticise others.

The same Nigerians will ignore the calls or sms to go and register their lines. Nobody blames NCC for that.

See what happened in BVN recently, most people refused to comply till last minute,. Why has CBN not fined the banks thst defaulted in blocking people accounts? Or are fraudsters, kidnappers, looters of national treasury etc using banks in the moon and sky?
They use our banks, the same banks like everyone.
A popular new generation bank sent emails to all their customers today on BVN, both those that have registered and those who have not.



Where is all the refunded Abacha loot? Nigerians should be asking questions on these things.

Even if you give Nigeria government $10b today, 97% or more of the money will end in private individuals account. So most people are happy about the fine, like they share out of it. Kobo, you won't see.

Where is all the Internally Generated Revenues (IGR) going into both states and federal?

The biggest problem in Nigeria is Nigerians.Until we change our mindset, no "change" will take place.





MTN remains the best network, not only in Nigeria but across Africa. Take it or leave it. Put sentiments aside and just be objective.



So the other networks are saints? Story.

It is a pity that its because of pple like u dat nigeria will forever remain where it is. U can not compare bvn with sim registration. All banks put restriction on pple account from friday eve wen d deadline elapsed meaning dey all complied. Pple like u just want outsider to disgrace our country and still cum back and say buhari is a bigot. I pity u and ur kind
