Humblegoodman:
It is good to enlighten people on what they don't understand. The problem is from NCC. When customers are registered and data forwarded to NCC for them to save in their data base, they ignore it , ostensibly because they are out to sabotage MTN. After a while when these datas are not saved by NCC, they return to MTN as incomplete registration.[b] This means that MTN will have to painfully invite the customers again for another round of registration. [b/] People don't understand what is happening here.It is not the wish of the company to see customers suffer. NCC is not happy that MTN has instituted a court case against them because of the outrageous fine imposed on MTN.They are doing everything possible to undermine the company, thereby making them lose customers. Can you be truthful for once? Ask me why on earth should NCC impose a fine of 250,000 for a sim that hitherto did not have a complete registration. Is it fair? why use a hammer to kill a musquito?

In October 2014, NCC wrote to MTN telling them to within 7 days disconnect 5.1 million lines that have incomplete data in their system. After due consideration of the situation, MTN met with NCC to discuss the issue with them.Technically, MTN cannot disconnect 5.1 million lines in 7 days. Secondly, Disconnecting these huge number of customers from the network will cause untold hardship to them, reason being that a whole lot of them use the lines for their businesses. Many use it to look for their daily bread. Moreso, MTN will lose huge amount of money by doing that.

MTN pleaded with NCC to allow them do the disconnection batch by batch so that registering them again will not overwhelm the company. NCC refused bluntly. In the course of the negotiation, 7 days elapsed. The next thing MTN saw was a letter asking them to pay a fine of 1.04 trillion. Now, that fine is about 25% of the total value of MTN. MTN saw that fine as absolutely outrageous , uncalled for and a witch hunt. Since MTN does not have such huge amount of money to pay the fine, they went to court to seek redress. Now, all parties will have to maintain the status quo untill the matter is determined by the court. Those who do not have information about what is happening should know now. I'M an insider, so i know what's happening.
Humblegoodman, I like your humble opinion. But I think Mtn need not invite the customers again. All they need do is to re-forward the already captured data to NCC. Abi Mtn self nor dey save data? Why ask a customer to come provide info that's already confirmed n stored in your database?

In fact, NCC should double that fine.
PhonesRe: My Experience At MTN Service Centre Today. by franconian:
Smooyis:
I was at home yesterday when a friend of mine called me of the free credit being given to selected mtn customers as a means of compensation. I hurriedly entered the code ie *559*40# and sent.

To my amazement, I immediately received a confirmation text that I have been given a bonus of #5,000 credit. I was so so happy. Checking through my balance I did not see the bonus reflect so I called the friend who told me my account would be ready for use today.

Early this morning, another text came that I should go to any of their service centres to complete my biometrics without which I would not be able to access my free credit.

'You have been compensated with N5000 valid for 7 days. To activate, please visit any MTN Registration outlet to update your biometrics. Dial *559*40# to check'

At the ikotun service centre, the situation was very chaotic as I met many customers who had received same message from mtn trying to get entrance into the office without success. Many aged people, nursing mothers were in the sun unattended to for several hours.

When I could not bear it any longer and seeing the way people who have received similar texts were trooping in, I could not withstand the pains of waiting endlessly.

What is MTN really taking us for in this country. Must we go through all these suffering to get our sims registered. Do they subject their own people back in south Africa to such inhumane treatment.

Have you any of such experience. Feel free to share with us.
You own story self better.


Silly MTN blocked my line, I had to go to their office to update my biometrics (something I had done before) . That day, I witnessed the worst customer care service ever. This was at their office along Aba road, PHC.

I got there around 12noon. Customers were allowed to enter the compound but not into the building where the registration is done. We had to wait outside.
At interval, one very rude warri boy (I know from his accent) will come to address us using mostly pidgin English.

The annoying part is he only attends to those who want to retrieve lost SIM. Na so I take wait from 12 reach 5pm when them finally call us in. To my surprise, the hall where they attend to customers was almost empty with only CC agents joking with themselves.
Well, I finally left around 6pm. My only joy was one beautiful lady working with them, her beauty made the last 1hr looked like 1min cool

The SIM worked that night. I got a text to finish the update process by answering a question. The question was "what's your mother's maiden name?", an info I gave them not quite long. I responded to the question and I was given 1k bonus. I also made some calls with the bonus.

My brother, can you believe that the motherfuckers blocked the SIM on the basis of SIM update just 3 days laterhuh
Well, I can't waste such time again. I was forced to abandon my 9 years old Sim... My very first love. I only use it to receive calls now.

For the records, this SIM has been registered 3 times. I don try... I can't be going to Mtn office every other day like I work there.

I love MTN... I really do. But for this single act, I wish thunder will fire them for wasting my time repeatedly.

Most Nigerian girls act like glutton, I once remembered one of my bosses sister , if she is going out on a date with a guy and doesn't have money she would come to me and say pls borrow me 20k I would give u when I come back , I understand that, she would say what id after eating the guy aak you to pay for the food you eat or after buying u food he start talking trash, she said I would just pay for my food and walk out. She always return the money when she comes back but that made me respect that girl , she knows the stuff she is made of not the ones that will order things they can't afford.

Okay this is a counter thread...grin Ion like it when Niggas try to make we single ladies feel bad. grin

Cc: emusmith. I doff my Okrika hat. grin


So..below are the obstacles that kept some men in the bachelors class throughout 2015.


Unrealistic Dreams:
His monthly allowance is 30k, he works as a Clark at Dangote cement store BT he doesn't want to marry anyhow girl, He prefer the likes of...Zara Buhari, Obama's daughter or Nelson Mandela's grand daughter..etc
Dude forgot there's a wide gap between unrealistic dream nd reality.tongue

2• He thinks he can have it all:
He's that play boy who is always looking for something better. He wants to enjoy his life to the fullest when his still young before people start to tag him as *CREEPY OLD MAN* tongue

3• He doesn't want to compromise his spiritual beliefs:
He knows women can be over spiritual therefore: he won't want to compromise his proffesed faith to placate hers. So maybe, he would consider marriage next year. *shrugs*
JollyJoy and misspicy pray for him abegtongue

4• He has confused and unrealistic expectations:

He's highly confused about the kind of girl he wants. He would love to marry a Beautiful, tall, light skinned, sexy, lively BUT not a talkative, have big nd sexy curves in the right places, hardworking, humble, God fearing, YORUBA girl
shoo na only you waka come?

5•He's selfish and immature:

He cares about himself only. His girlfriend cones second or third in every option. He can't give but he likes to take from his girlfriend instead. *dudes favorite song is: She no want designer by Davidogrin
He forget or totally ignore things that matters most to his girlfriend but, you dare not forget his birthday.

Biko, how do you expect him to marry? :-/

6• Spiritual attack or cause:

He really wants to get married but, the Pharaoh nd Satanic agents from his father's house has been preventing him.

OR

Bros don rape a 6yr old Binta when he went for National youth service in ABAKALIKI and Mama Binta don swear for am with her left bwest. Abeg, how hr won take marry with that kain curse na? cheesy

Mehn, I no longer understand you.

The people who elected him know why they elected him, if they feel he is not doing well, they should summon him. They also have the option of organising a protest.

I really don't think adopting 60 kids was one of his campaign promises. He probably adopted them because he feels he is in a position to give them better opportunity in life. No sane person will reelect him just because he adopted 60 kids. Adopting kids is never a yardstick for him to forget his senatorial responsibilities.

Even if what he did has political implications, it has come of as an advantage to the poor, the fatherless, the motherless...the masses.

He didn't adopt the kids because he wants to give you a cup of water or an entire ocean. If you feel he owes you an ocean, go demand for it and leave the orphans alone.

Stop the hating Bro, it's not good for your health. If you must hate, hate objectively.
