All of you are jokers

So far so good i can authoritatively state it is more than 2 million. If mtn has deactivated more 1 million what about the rest network.

I hope this would be the revalidation process bcuz am tired of standing in long cues at the MTN office,meanwhile am enjoying my New MTN Tariff, N200 can now last me for a week.

And what did they gain from it

What about advertising via numbers u can block it abi yeye

What about the MTN fine?

How far the 1 trillion naira unrealistic fine?

I wonder why they haven't blocked mine though i didn't get any directive to reregister.

I hv recvd mor dan 20msgs frm MTN in d past 7hours urging me to go n re-reg wt sincere apologies, of which I've regd n veried few days earlier.

Shuu!!
Wot I do

just tell us that about 1 million mtn lines have been disconnected

Ok

Airtel should stop calling my lines to advertise their nonsense.
I have other important calls to receive.

Well done

Hmmmmm

This NCC guys are just too clueless for my liking.

Let someone blame GEJ

Hope NCC has achieved the purpose for the registration?

mtn will be affected mostly
