You are mad. MTN has nothing to do with this. The company that installed masts must be held responsible.

The company was contracted by MTN,and therefore,MTN is directly responsible for all actions taken on its behalf regarding the maintenance of its technical assets.

Good morning my people,please,I want to get some info concerning the NA DSSC programme; I know that it lasts for 10 years and can be renewed to RC.
But is there a way for a DSSC entrant to surpass the rank of Brigadier General?,the NDA guys seem to consider the rank of Lt Colonel to General to be their birthright,and their seem to be a conception that a DSSC entrant cannot lead the army(especially in the field) from an executive position,even though they had undergone BMT(with the NDA guys) and even advanced training abroad.
Also,is their a way for a DSSC entrant to remain in the army after his 10 years expires,baring inconsistency in RC admission?

mzilakazi:
MTN outsource many of their projects every time, so do you blame them. You are pathetic. They outsourced the installation and maintance of their masts to a private company.

Both MTN and the private company should be dragged to court for gross negligence; this is a matter of national security and heads must roll.

mzilakazi:
MTN should be charged for outsourcing the work to another company. You are financially dry

It is quite obvious that MTN intentionally contracted a company with questionable credentials to maintain and supervise its technical apparatuses in the SE; MTN should be charged to court and slammed with enough lawsuits to make sherlock holmes shiver in despair.

mzilakazi:
You act like an apartheid government with Buhari as President Botha. It will not help to deny people the truth. Moreover, you are blaming MTN for nothing.
MTN cannot be pinned down for this debacle since they have no knowledge of this. They have outsourced the installation and maintainance of their mast to another private company.

MTN should be charged with espionage,treason and criminal subterfuge!.
It is very obvious that MTN is an agent of distabilization and part of a grand conspiracy to sow discord in the nation; the south african ambassador should be immediately summoned,detained and meticulously questioned over this issue.
Infact,the supreme court should immediately order the suspension of all MTN operations in the east and impede their license pending proper investigation.

You thought they were only in Nigeria alone. You see MTN if they decide to leave nigeria, they would still make money. Thats the advantage of investing in multiple number of countries.

lol,if MTN leaves,they will make only a fraction of their former income.MTN Nigeria is the branch that services and sponsors almost all of MTN's operations in west and central africa.
The number of subscribers wont matter in the face of a plummeting gross income.

mzilakazi:
We do not invite FDI and only to use them as cash cow for our national budget no matter how hard our economic activities are. If they are going wrong, give them advices and guide them how should they run their busines. If they flaunt some of the regulations alert them of the violation and pardon them when necessary depending on the gravity of violation and do not see it as the opportunity to make money. Do not even get into their affairs and spy how much money do they have, it does not concern you. That way your relationship with FDI will gel and become a strong bond. FDI are very important to us. They build infrastructure, pay taxes, employ our people, sponsor our university students, fund charity programmes and help alleviate poverty. If your relationship with them is positive they will even expand their investment.

Nonsense,MTN does none of those things you mentioned(except project fame).

lionel4power:
Nigerias current population is abouy 180 million give or take.

Sorry,I made an error.

stop lying, crumble by half, are you mad? 37% is now 50%, go and murder your maths teacher.

37% is enough to crumble MTN substantially,even the aroma of sanction from Nigeria was enough to throw MTN's stock exchange ratings into chaos.

mzilakazi:
MTN will never crumble by half. Never!!.

If Nigeria has the most customers, it does not mean that they make half of the total customers MTN has.

It is said that Nigeria's MTN customer base only makes a quarter of the total subscribers, which is estimated at over 240 million.

240 million indeed?,240 million subscribers from where?.
Bros,go and sleep.

mzilakazi:
Sometimes you really do not have to be harsh on your visitors. If they are wrong channel them in the most acceptable way and dont make them feel like they are merely used as revenue supplement. Soon they will leave you with your Nigeria and the black cloud of high unemployment hanging on your head.

What would SA have done differently?,I want to know.
PS: SA suffers from gross unemployment,actually,you are the one with unemployment issue hanging over your egg head.

andrewza:
We dont ignore but we dont drive invistors out. If MTN leaves Nigeria tge biggest looser is Nigeria Not MTN and south africa as country would not be effected.

ah,andrewza my very good friend!,how does SA deal with wayward investors?,Nigeria will not feel it if MTN pulls out,it is MTN that will crumble by half.We have other service providers to fill up the space.

mzilakazi:
I hope all foreign investors will leave you with your Nigeria to run alone.

That is an impossibility.Moreover,if investors misbehave in your country,do you pat them on the head and wish them a merry chrismas?.This isnt SA where insolence is ignored.

FighterPilot:
Nigeria is busy pushing foreign investment away. Guiness Nigeria is fined $5.2 million.
http://www.nation.co.ke/news/africa/Beer-maker-sues-Nigeria-agency-over--5-2m-fine/-/1066/3008920/-/um70nz/-/index.html

Guiness,MTN Stanbic IBTC and co must pay!.
Due process must be followed; in the case of guiness,it is a fine that has been long overdue.Customer care is a disgrace,warehouses are in shambles with lizards,cockroaches,rodents and all forms of vile arachnids crawling everywhere,even the bottles are so filthy and rusted that you will be hard pressed to see the beer inside them.
Nowadays,we dont trust the bottles enough to directly drink from them,we make use of plastic straws and patronize canned drink,giving them the opportunity to fleece us by shamelessly reducing the quantity in cans.
We wont be held for ransom in our own country,let them go to court!.
If they like,let them employ 1000 senior advocates of Nigeria,they must pay!.

A very merry chrismas to all of you!,happy hanukkah to the judaists and a jolly new year to every one on this thread!
I felicitate with all the arm-chair military analysts and gallant trolls on this great thread; I salute every patriot of WHTSMIA,both those who are notorious and even those who remain anonymous.

Who said Iran has no nuke? You truly are backwards, ask america if Iran has no nuclear.

Iran has no nuke,Israel would know if Iran does and they certainly wont keep quiet about it.
Saudi Arabia will be enraged enough to break ties with the US and acquire nukes from Pakistan,with the already stationed US nuclear warheads in Turkey,the middle-east would become one giant radioactive apocalypse waiting to happen; Obama and even the republicans arent crazy enough to allow that.

FighterPilot:
But certainly you have no choice or will end up seeing your economy shrinking to the down low reaching recession.

We have choices,and we are already exploring them.

snydergp1st:
4000 boko boys armed with muskets did so with relative ease.

So yes you anyone can if the country is named Nigeria.

Nonsense,BH is not a conventional army.

FighterPilot:
One nuclear head and the whole of 200 million people stand still.

Iran has no nuclear warhead.
Moreover,using nuclear weapons on Nigeria will mark the beginning of WW3.

FighterPilot:
Nigeria will not see any growth until they devalue their currency. You are pressurized to devalue your currency, like it or not. That's IMF recommendations.

Ah,yes..Africa should remain firmly bound to the neo-colonial shackles of IMF?,IMF is recommending that we should devalue our currency; but this would lead to a catastrophic surge in inflation rate and an obsene increase in price of imported goods,tipping our trade balance unfavourably and eventually crashing our NSE.
No,but no thanks.

FighterPilot:
Israel has stable security and intelligence. I think someone here forgets that Nigeria is just a walk in the park.

How the hell do you go to war with a country that has 200 million citizens,half of which are healthy youths?,Nigeria can amass an army that has no limit of manpower,an army with neither beginning nor end.
I repeat that Iran cannot sustain a war outside its immediate geographical displacement.

FighterPilot:
A sensible president wouldn't wait six months without a pointing finance minister. Bwahahaha…
Nigeria is even worse because investors have pulled out of your markets and Naira is now falling like a skydiver.

Better than going through 3 finance ministers in a week.Naira has stabilized to N198/$,and it has remained stable for months now,drawing in more investors by the day.

Iran military threatens to crash Nigeria over the wilful killing of the Shiite sect.

http://africanspotlight.com/2015/12/16/killing-of-shiite-muslims-iran-military-threatens-nigeria/

Nonsense,Iran's unfeasible claims should be dismissed.
They have been threatening to bomb isreal for over 50 years now,yet we havent heard so much as an iranian dynamite in jerusalem.
Moreover,Iran does not have the military capability to launch an offensive 4000km from its homeland,Iran cannot go to war with a country that isnt within its homeland vicinity.
All bark,but no bite.

FighterPilot:
To be correct, they were two and not three. The minister who was previously occupying the position was deployed to the BRICS bank in Shanghai. The pres replaced him with the little unknown minister 1 and the markets never had confidence in him since SA is an advanced economy. The pres had to replace him again after listening to the markets and the people and reshuffle him with another minister who previously occupied that portfolio of finance before and the markets started showing confidence again.

A sensible president wouldnt have made the mistake of choosing a finance minister with negative market outlook in the first place.
Even with the 3rd minister,the market is definitely not showing positive outlook,moody economic indicator has even demoted SA from "stable" to "negative",and their is now political unrest in south african.
Such a mess.

FighterPilot:
That cassava is only a good food for you there in Nigeria. We and the world eat maze and corn.

That is exactly why southies tend to have their heads shaped like avocado pears; over-consumption of primary carbohydrates and frozen poultry has left SA a ravaged wasteland of obesity and digestive dysfunctions.
What happened to wheat,rye,sorghum etc....?
