Due to inhuman treatment meted to Nigerians by South African Authorities, not minding that Nigeria and Nigerians made DSTV and MTN richer beyond their dreams, All MTN subscribers all over the country will switch off their phone just for one minute everyday  by 12:00 noon for 7 days. One minute switch off protest will make MTN lose N500 million naira. Let's show them  the power of population. The power of Naija!

We should retaliate in whatever way to prove a point that our sovereignty can no longer be taken for granted.

Suit yourself. I find such talk like "without us they would be nothing" repulsive especially when it comes to foreigners and multinationals. If we are really all that we would have come up with our own coys/solutions to meet our needs.

is people like you who take all sort of rubbish from people, simply because of your low self esteem!

LMFAO @ Switching off my phone? grin

My phone stays on.

MTN is useless, we know. Not turning off anything for a protest that has no head or tail.

Get the phuck out of here.

Not trying to justify SA action but do you ever wonder what the nigerians are doin over there. I stayed in SA for a while I saw many of my country men jobless doin all kinds of menial jobs they wud be ashamed to do in nigeria. How many South africans do you see hawking perfumes on streets of lagos, setting up churches with no defined means of livelyhood, smuggling drugs etc.
Lets face it nigerian govt. and people provided the atmosphere for dstv and mtn to thrive. If nigerian govt had assisted a company like HItv, dstv wud not dominate the market. You call for boycott of mtn lines. Do you know how many nigerians will become jobless? We are clearly a troubled nation, lets not blame others for woes.
There are diplomatic solutions to the deportation saga, more strigent visa issuance to south africans. Raising tarriffs on goods shipped from SA etc.

I personally know some former classmates of mine who are doing just that. Little wonder why our country has a bad rep internationally.

@mbeki, i commend your patriotic spirit, and in reality what the south African authorities did was unpardonable, a country that has benefited from us in numerous ways, but i don't blame them, i blame the foolish leaders of this country, they have put us in this derogatory state and we allowed them do it without opposition and thus we should not complain. just forget about switching off phones that's not going to solve anything, what this country needs is a SNC so that we can know where we stand, cos right now i'm ashamed of been a Nigerian,  This country has a very bad reputation overseas. i believe if care is not taken, it'll get to a time where you'll be arrested abroad just for affiliating with a Nigerian and you'll be stoned to death for been a Nigerian, it's that bad,

What exactly will switching of our phones achieve. Who will lose? I think the poverty in this country has destroyed the psyche of Nigerians. What a silly way to protest.

lol, after our so called leaders loot and stack it up in SA you need me to turn off my phone as a form of protest because a senator was affected this time and he complained to his be-in-co looters in the house. I feel pity for the other 124 caught in the diplomatic row with that dishonorable ''sinator''. When we are ready we will TURN ON our phones and call people within to protest against a government that cares nothing about her people. Until then let SA continue to deport thieving ''legislooters''/executhieves/governors and council men.

How foolish that plan sounds? Are we fighting a country or the entrepreneurs in it? In as much as I don't so much like the MTN brand, I won't let out my bitterness over such a baseless, political standpoint.
Re: Switch Off Mtn Line Protest By 12:00 Noon For 7 Days by Wadosky(m): 2:16pm On Mar 07, 2012
if we are protesting against high tariff,I will understand and comply.what about other countries like UK and USA were Nigerians are subjected to inhuman treatment?
