MTN Group Ltd. had its record fine in Nigeria
increased $500 million to $3.9 billion after the
country’s telecommunications regulator said it
wrote the incorrect penalty in an earlier letter
to Africa’s largest phone company.
“There was a typo,” Nigerian Communication
Commission spokesman Tony Ojobo said by
phone on Friday, referring to a letter dated Dec.
2 that reduced the original $5.2 billion penalty to
$3.4 billion. “The reduction should have been 25
percent. We saw the mistake and had to fix it.”
MTN spokesman Chris Maroleng declined to
comment. The shares traded 4.7 percent lower at
133.40 rand as of 10:39 a.m. in Johannesburg,
the lowest since Nov. 17.
MTN received a second letter on Thursday which
superseded the first letter and increased the fine
to $3.9 billion, the Johannesburg-based company
said in a statement on Friday. The payment date
is Dec. 31.

You've contributed your own share of the fine.

MTN, Accept my condolences. ....

That means increment in stupid text msg. They're just looking for means to sap money from customers... as if na we cause regulator error.

Just to make call sef, they'll display a message on the screen. If u choose 'OK' u dun enter one-chance be that.

The #50 they gather from caller tunes monthly will settle that bill... Change go still remain sef.

Imagine... 50 x One Million Nigerians.

EmptyHen indeed.

End time mistake

They need your money to pay fine na

Its Too small sef, this son Of b*tches call MTN keep deducting my airtime when ever I browse and my phone is subscribed [b]

hmmm

Now they should do something about our blocked lines.

Doesn't make sense to me...cuz it still falls back on us... 1.They may decide to reduce salary of workers
2.Consumers may begin to experience high cost in tariff
3.They may also sack some of their workers (mostly Nigerians)
Ques: Na who go chop the fine? me abi our Government !

i guess this is the major reason why am also suffering being a subscriber of MTN over here in South Africa. Hehehe my airtime just dey disappear overnight like say The witches for my village dey take communicate btw demself

double wahala for dead body

Na wa o.

Ever since Ndukwe left the NCC and Buhari appointed his northern brother Umaru to replace him, that place has been a mess.

The government cannot rely on MTN to solve her economic woes.

Buhari is also too dull to see that he is chasing away foreign investors by his constant flip flops.

D fine cn go to $10billion.... I kuku hate EmptyHen

These NCC are clowns sef, they are just beating around the bush
