Hausa being the most accomodating people in Nigeria followed by yoruba will they agree to stay as one nation should biafra succeed in becoming a country?

And what will happen to all those investments the igbo people have in the northern and western part of the country, will they continue to run their businesses or they will take them back to their region?

Come on guys grow-up and start showing some signs of reponsibleness.It really hurts when i see those especially, end time crew posting end time everywhere in a thread that should be analysed and make constructive comments therein,the most annoying is when they make FTC. We all know that we are approaching end time,but not everything that happen is about end time. So pls you are advised to stop it we are here to share ideas,knowledge and benefit from one another.

The one word crew, am referring to those posting things like, ok,noted,k..... you dont need to be told there is no meaning and sense in what you are posting, plus no one force you to comment on every thread, let those that have something reasonable to post.

The blank space crew,what are you afraid of? if you are not good enough to post on nairaland you better be a good reader.

Lagos — Nigeria's fine of $5.2bn to MTN, Africa's largest telecommunications company, is billions more than any company has been fined anywhere in the world and may well scare off investors, international analysts say.

MTN was fined for having 5.2 million active but unregistered SIM cards.

"It is totally out of proportion," said industry expert John Strand of Denmark-based Strand Consult. "I have never seen any operator receivinga fine of more $100m and I've been in this business for 20 years."


Until now, the United States tended to levy the highest fines. AT&T is suing the Federal Communications Commission over a $100m fine — the largest ever imposed by that body.

"There is no comparable fine, anywhere in the world," Roger Entner, of Recon Analytics based in Dedham, Massachusetts, said of the Nigerian sanction. "This is far beyond anything that anybody has ever been levied — by magnitudes."

Unregistered SIM cards are a matter of national security in Nigeria and may have caused deaths. Boko Haram Islamic extremists use cell phones to activate bombs and coordinate other attacks, say law enforcers. Mobile phones are also used in rampant armed robberies and kidnappings. Unregistered MTN SIM cards were usedto make calls demanding ransom in theSeptember kidnapping of a former Nigerian finance minister — weeks after a deadline for providers to deactivate unregistered cards.

MTN ignored other Nigerian rules and had committed a total of 28 infractions, Nigerian Communications Commission spokesman Tony Ojobo told The Associated Press.

MTN officers "have always been flouting regulations," he declared.

The company was the only cell phone provider that failed to meet a mid-August deadline to deactivate unregistered cards, said Ojobo. The commission's enforcers wound up deactivating the millions of cards. The fine is based on sanctions of 200 000 naira ($1 000) for each unregistered card, an amount agreed in consultation with service providers in 2011.

Since the fine was announced, the South African-based MTN Group has lost more than 10% of its value. The group CEO resigned last week.

Standard & Poor's downgraded MTN and Nigeria and put both on a negativecredit watch. The credit rating service cited "heightened regulatory and country risk in Nigeria" and fears that MTN's liquidity could "weaken significantly," depending on the ultimate size of the fine and the timingof its payment.

MTN is the biggest player in Nigeria, where it had about 62 million subscribers before the deactivations and, according to Strand Consult, totalrevenue of about $10bn in 2014. MTN said it made $2.6bn in profits in Nigerialast year, making the fine equivalent totwo years' profits and three times the$1.8bn the company says it has invested here.

"Fines like this destroy companies," analyst Entner warned.

MTN extended its Nigeria operating license this month until 2021, for$94.2mn. It had little choice, the analysts said, noting the Nigerian operation provides more than a third of the group's revenues, though it operates in 21 other countries in Africa, the Middle East, Afghanistan and Cyprus.

MTN bought its Nigeria license for$285m in 2001.

"Then, everyone expected it to be a product for the few among the many, but today it is the product for everybody. Nigerians have been able toget affordable telecommunications," Strand said. That's because Nigeria hasAfrica's largest population, estimated at 170 million, and building a telecommunications network costs roughly the same for 1 million or 10 million subscribers, he said. Mobile telephone networks, in a country without working landlines, have immeasurably boosted business and trade.

Entner said the fine will hurt MTN's service to Nigerians. "I think the company can survive it (but) it will probably have to really cut down on expanding, improving the network and make a whole bunch of other cuts."


The fine equals nearly a quarter of the 2014 national budget of Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer which has been hammered by the global plunge in petroleum prices and depreciated naira currency.

A review of Nigeria's penalties for tax avoidance and cybercrime, and global precedent, led Strand to suggest a fineof $500m is more fitting.

Strand warned the fine could hurt foreign investment: "The question is: What is the purpose in giving a company a fine of this amount? Is it just a revenue generator for the government? I think it's a big message to send to other investors in Nigeria: Stay out of this country."

mostly if you see missing child its from poor family is it that they dont take good care of their children?

Hello Fellow Nairalanders i believed that its not only me that have this type of question whenever i see someone selling something that is less than two or five thousand on the street, i use to wonder how much is he/she going to get as profit and are they reallyon depending that business for food,clothing,accomodation,? and some of them have children to send to school all with that small business. Is it that these type of people are more contented with the small money they have or they have other sources of income?

PunkyVeer:
Jesus H Christ! Must everything be about sex? What, are you still a teenager?

That expression has nothing to do with sex. She was just being flirtatious. She must like you a lot & if you like her too, don't go ruin it by acting like a sex starved tool.

Is like you didnt get it. She even asked me to tell her about the dream, i mean what else would she be looking for?

I have this lady as friend,though i sometimes jokingly call her sweetheart, yesterday she asked me to dream of her and this morning she asked 'did you dream of me, tell me about the dream?'. Actually i considered it as invitation to sex.

Ladies, what you mean if you ask a guy to dream of you?

An armed robber enter your house and gave gun to you to shoot your husband you said you couldnt do it,he threaten you and shouted if you didnt do it he will kill you,you still couldnt shoot your husband. He collected the gun and gave it to your husband and ask him to shoot you,your husband shoot three times but fortunately there is no bullet in the gun. what would be your reaction?

Many times you will hear people sayin he spoiled her,especially if sex is involved all the blame will be put on the guy.My question here is that are there no girls that spoil guys? and people always blame the guys.

wip7:
All recognized institutions abroad are listed in ministry of education in Abuja. So you will need to take the name of your chosen university or college there and check up their list.

Best wishes!

Thank you

sneak3:
OP why asking if cat has ever said no to fish??

If they hear you ehh,i will not hide you

With the situation in town even if you are not rich, just dress well and be responsible you will get alot of attention from ladies and am not saying money should be the yardstick you decide wether to say yes or no.

But no girl want to suffer with that ladies have ever said no to a rich guy that wanted to date you,or can you say no?

wip7:
Yes some universities abroad do that. However, in Cyprus most University does not even have PGD and will not admit you directly into master program with Higher diploma. They mostly admit students with degree into their master programs.

I have heard that CIU in Cyprus do admit HND holders, but I dont know about that, so you may visit their website and make inquiries from their registrar office.

ok Thnk you ver much. but what about recognition, how do i know if a school abroad is recognised in Nigeria pls,cos i heard cases of schools that are not recognised and people have already gotten certificates from such schools

The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR) is commemorated on the third Sunday of November each year – to remember the many millions killed and injured on the world’s roads, together with their families, friends and many others who are also affected. It is also a Day on which wethank the emergency services and reflect on the tremendous burden and cost of this daily continuing disaster to families, communities and countries, and on ways to halt it.

Road deaths and injuries are sudden,violent, traumatic events. Their impact is long-lasting, often permanent. Each year, millions of newly injured and bereaved people from every corner of the world are added to the countless millions who already suffer. The cumulative toll is truly tremendous.

The grief and distress experienced by this huge number of people is all the greater because many of the victims are young, because many of the crashes could and should have been prevented and because governments’ and society’s response to road death and injury and to bereaved and injured victims is often inadequate, unsympathetic, and inappropriate to a loss of life or quality of life.

This special Remembrance Day is therefore intended to respond to thegreat need of road crash victims for public recognition of their loss and suffering. It has also become an important tool for governments and those who work to prevent crashes or respond to the aftermath, as it offers the opportunity to demonstrate the enormous scale and impact of road death and injury and the urgent need for action.
Many varied commemorative events are held on each World Day, or on the days before or after.

major courses of road accident

Speeding

Impaired Driving (alcohol/drugs/fatigue)

Deficient Road Infrastructure

Non Use of Seat Belts

Non Use of Child Restraints

Failing to Wear Motorcycle Helmets

Cell-Phone Use/Texting
