while I do not support the banning of services like whatsapp facebook etc I believe the govt should tax them for operating in Nigeria. These companes make money out out you and I and contribute nothing to our economy. We should charge them for the priviledge of accessing our vast populaion in this time where govt is looking to diversify iot's revenue base. As for MTN and co they should wake up and smell the cofee, the telecom industry has evolved all over the world, telecoms is no longer about voice but data.

I think mtn is responsible for the proposed data tariff increment. They might have bribed NCC. They may even have their way in the red chamber, through the power of Ghana must go. My opinion though.

I totally agree with u. I even mentioned this in one of the threads about the data tariff increase.

subscribers don't make much calls these days because of whatsapp, lolz.

The way i see it and the way this read , I dont think he meand he hates them, he seems to be stating a fact of being in the data market, and those services while beneficial to us affects thier revenue too, even though they serve us the users based on the Data service the telecoms service they (MTN, Glo, Etisalat and Airtel provides. Its a valid business position ... Really !

Well, WhatsApp was banned on Brazil exactly this time last year. It's actually kind of funny, I must say.
But Zuckerberg being Zuckerberg, he was able to make them remove the ban.

This is one of the reasons white people see us like monkeys.
Imagine a big telecom company spewing out that trash.
Is it not the same data we bought from you??
I'm not understanding
He's indeed saying nonesense. It's like NIPOST asking to ban people from sending emails because emails replaced sending letters. MTN should first return South Africa to stone age before thinking of that thrash in Nigeria.

Useless bunch of hypocrites, how many Nigerians has lost means of livelihood due to their contracting every available job out of the country. Imagine monitoring Nigeria MTN cell sites from India or so, how much are the Indians contributing to their mega profit in Nigeria.

Should the polytheificians support the ban, well boycott MTN services.

The Horse and Buggy Owners Association also wanted to get cars banned.

Perhaps The Post Office should also hustle to get you guys banned.

After all you too are bad for their business.

Might not benefit by paying taxes,but the business it facilitates, and the ease of communication, cheap and clear makes it very valuable for Nigerians and our economy,in the broader perspective.

MTN should deal with the reality,and stop sounding greedy.

I remember when this "Money Taking Network" came to Nigeria selling a sim as high as 60,000naira with minimum airtime of N6,000 and N5 abi N10 per mins, they made crazy money but thank God for Glo who break their useless jinx and now they are saying whatsapp and viber should be banned.

If any telecom operator is not ready for business, make them park their useless luggages out of the country.

Thank God I stop using their line for browsing. I will forever be grateful to glo even though their network atimes is fluctuating, though they have improved of recent.

Btw, this useless network was the 1st to send data price increase when NCC enforced it. That goes tell you that they are the mainstream together with other small telcos to effect the hike in data price
Point of correction.
It was N50 per minute billing, not N5 or N10. SMS was N15 then.

It was a per minute billing, meaning you will pay an extra N50 even if you spend 1 second beyond a minute.
