You think it is that simple. What will make those companies not to hire completely new staff?

HiddenShadow:
MTN should not pay a dime.
If APC government closes their offices, Nigerians will lose their jobs forcing them to decamp to PDP

dubemivan:

I doubt if this man is a NIGERIAN... what have MTN done for you? how have MTN benefitted you? what is their achievement in this country? Sometimes people talk blindly... In SA they enjoy free browsing, quality network and low tariff, while we pay through our nose to give MTN their biggest revenue and yet we dont enjoy value for our Airtime!
What is APC about this matter?? is it justice to get others pay the fine and exonerate MTN? Does it seems they have the interest of our country by defying orders to suck us dry and still went ahead to court?
Nigeria will only move forward when people like you begin to reason objectively and sensibly!

ibe9ja:
Or what?

mrDennis:



if mtn sacks people it would mean cutting their operating capacity thus making other networks grow due to people crossing over .
.
also if they sack 1000 . 400 will be absorbed by other firms while new hands will also be employed.

Nigeria is in an unassailable win-win situation here ... mtn and south Africa has a lot to loose . or haven't u noticed south Africa's govt isn't being confrontational over the fine? in fact mtn is getting heat in s.a too over this problem.

just watch dstv is next ... sebi na premiership em dey use catch thrips abi. 13k a month cos I wan watch match every weekend. . lol

HiddenShadow:


Keep deceiving yourselves

Free browsing for where in SA.?

Are you the one that pay their electricity bill that will cause them to provide browsing service without pay

praxisnetworks:

You insult the memory and works of late ambassador Ashiru....

rman:
See how people in government talks.

What has GEJ administration got to do with this?

What is total value of mtn Nigeria that NCC alone wants to collect 700billion?

Do you guys know each state, LGA also tax base stations in their locality?

Why are they trying so hard to blame network operators for their own lack of technology to track criminals?

FYI, the almighty DSS has only three equipment that can monitor calls and they move this from one region to the other based on the case they are investigating..why can't FG buy more?

For those that have travelled out, do you do sim reg or your national ID is all u need to show to get one and info is automatically sycn to the sim?

Did anyone not notice the flaw in the registration process. U go and provide information about who u are and there is no means to verify if it is correct. Therefore I can be Tunde on my etisalat sim and Michael on mtn network..isn't that a flaw.

A lazy government that is looking for money deceiving gullible masses that it is for their interest. A government that wants to kill the only industry that they privatised successfully because they lack foresight to see its potential an killed NiTel.

We should not let our unreasonable hatred for SA companies consume us as a people. If mtn shuts down today their is no other operator that has the installed capacity to absorb their subscribers. None! What about the ir enterprise customers?

Fyi, the economy and the people that will suffer if mtn shuts down will be Nigerians. Diesel suppliers, trade partners that have invested millions, generator companies, even fcmg companies will suffer. Sales are now being monitored by companies because field sales people key in data real time and the logical thing to do is use the biggest network.

And the ncc man spoke half truths and he clearly thinks he is impressing the government.

How many people here have registered their lines more than twice this year? Do u think mtn isn't submitting them to ncc? They do and ncc keeps rejecting them. That's why mtn keeps asking u to come back.

The bigger picture is political....mtn is contributing 4% of Nigeria's gdp as one company. Biggest contributor outside oil and gas and they want to take it over and ruin it.

I dare FG to shut down mtn...u will only take your country backwards. A country that needs so much catching up to do is threatening investors.

MTN has already complied by disconnecting the lines twice in the last two months. Is the motive getting mtn to do the right thing of fining them out of business?

The fine is illogical and we are so short-sighted we fail to see the massive negative impact this will have. This is coming from an administration of Buhari that cancelled the Lagos metro line years back under the disguise of corruption and fast forward few years Lagos has one of the worst traffic gridlock in the whole world. If he has foresight, Lagos metroline shouldn't have been cancelled.

Shut down mtn as see how customer experience on all other operators go bad in a few days. I dare FG to do so.

Shallow thinking leaders.

rman:
Let it be on record that the first major achievement of the APC/ Buhari government is not to create jobs but to ensure investors they met are driven out of business. Bokoharam ha bombed more than 150 sites of mtn in the north.....is that also mtn responsibility?

Fine mtn but let it be reasonable.

By now, if I am Buhari, any spokesperson that refer to GEJ in any communication should be fired immediately. No one sent all these ass likcers and shallow thinkers to be referring to GEJ in all interviews. In their mind, they think they are impressing their subjects.

What has Shittu done as minister that these man is praising him? Or is he just minister for fine? What is government road map for telecoms?

Stop using mtn to score cheap political gains because u hav found that majority of Nigerians a gullible and have herd mentality (follow follow)

Yes Nigerians are tired of poor services, not only in telecommunications. Bad roads, no power even leadership, YES we are tried of bad leaders....

luvinhubby:
The sheer crass stupidity of these APC political sycophants stinks to the high heavens.

What is Goodluck Jonathan's concern that MTN did not pay the money they were hoping to use for their scam welfare package?

Hiploko:
I would have called whoever mentioned Goodluck Jonathan in the initial post a .......... But I just returned from a ban... Don't get down to work. Keep blaming Goodluck till we kick you out via impeachment,revolution or in 2019.
