seunmsg:Which law? The same law that is blind when it comes to Kanu, Akpabio and other corrupt ex-governors but is wide awake, when it comes to Ambode? Here is another angle to the EFCC search on Ambode's residence. Some of the former governor’s loyalists accused the EFCC operatives of attempting to plant foreign currencies at his Epe home to incriminate him. |

Deadlytruth: The members of parliament at that time expressed a view that was similar to your own. Kindly read the excerpt below: In his own words, Chief Richard Akinjide said the Ministers did not hand over to Ironsi. In 2000, he said ” under the law, that is, the interpretation Act, as acting President, Nwazor Orizu had all the powers of the President. The GOC said he wanted to see all the cabinet ministers. And so we assembled at the cabinet office. Well, I have read in many books saying that we handed over to the military. 1 Like |

Iykesmooth:Oga, speak for yourself. Which research do I want to do again? I bought Infinix Note 4, last year and used it for several months. Within the first 5 months of purchase, it started having charging port problems. I had to change the charging port. By the 7th month it developed another issue. I dumped the phone and bought another Infinix, only to be plagued with similar issues. This time, the 2nd one did not last as long as the 1st unit. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy I have been using for 3 years as my primary phone, never gave me any problems, till date. So should I lie and say that Infinix phones are good, when it has only ever given me problems? Even many of my friends have experienced similar disappointing issues with their own Infinix phones. Abeg, if you have nothing logical to contribute, take several seats down and get off my mentions biko! |

RevenGeMission:You are pained, because I questioned the gibberish your friend was posting. Eeyah....try not to kill yahself. Anyway, like I said to someone else earlier, I am not interested in the emptiness of those who constantly have nothing to contribute, but think they would be taken seriously, by the number of insults they spew out. Go back and read the article. MTN was said to have evaded import duties. MTN did not secretly and forcefully repatriate funds, as it is not possible to do so, without appropriate clearance from banking authorities. Ask any banker who is familiar with banking operations. Any money repatriated was their legitimate earnings made from their operations in the Nigerian market. Please go and educate yourself, before anyone calls your intelligence into question again.

Akainzo:Oga, na God I take beg you...do NOT say what you do not know. I worked for different telecom infrastructure companies in Nigeria for several years, and if there is one thing I know like the back of my hand, it is the logistics and supply chain structure of the telecoms industry. It is NOT actually MTN that imports any equipment into the country. It is the OEMs, their agents, franchisees or their local subsidiaries that do so. Siemens, Motorola, Ericsson and other OEMs etc, have factories abroad, that manufacture these telecoms equipment. What they do is to conduct presentations for different GSM companies on the range of products they have manufactured in their firms, abroad. Based on their project requirements, MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9Mobile etc, can issue an LPO or an order for the product or service they require. The OEMs like Siemens, Motorola, Ericsson etc, then import the items under their own names (i.e. as the consignee) and clear them by themselves. They are the ones who pay the import duties, taxes etc on the imported equipment, not MTN! After inspecting the equipment, and making sure it is in good condition, they then deliver it to MTN, Glo, Airtel or whoever requested it. The OEMs or their sub-contractors or agents are also the ones who install and commission the equipment. After a period of testing to make sure it meets their requirements, then the GSM companies like MTN, Glo, Airtel etc, would sign off on the waybills, delivery notes or completion certificate, to convey acceptance. It is only at this point, that the title of ownership of the equipment, gets transferred to the end user (e.g. MTN, Glo, Airtel). Hope that is clear. So using cars as an example, is a wrong form of illustration. It doesn't work like that in telecoms. In fact, in the past few years, there has been a lot of emphasis on leasing of equipment, and not outright purchases, anymore. And in such cases, the ownership of the equipment, rests with the leasing company, not the lessee. 1 Like |

mfm04622:Underpaid tax? In what way? Govt says one thing without proof, and you chaps recycle it without knowing the facts, or the way the industry works. The telecoms equipment were imported by different companies (not related to MTN), using their own company names, and not MTN's name. Such equipment was only sold to MTN after it had arrived in the country. And the names and identities of the consignees are well documented, and known to govt. Their offices are also open and still doing business. MTN did not import the equipment, or clear the goods. So on what basis are they holding MTN? And using cars as an example, is a totally wrong illustration which cannot apply to the telecom industry. Sp do not go down that route, unless you want people to laugh you to scorn. |

alizma:Tax waiver on.... what? MTN is accused of evading import duties. Are you just clueless, or just pretending to be? RevenGeMission:Each time you open your mouth, the emptiness in your brain becomes apparent. Anyway, I don't blame you. You were not taught rational analysis and deduction in school. You failed to learn anything, despite all the amount expended on your education. You claim MTN 'laundered' money. Do you even know what it means to 'launder' money? What kind of gibberish are you spewing forth? Unfortunately, I am not in the mood to give you a free tutorial today. Look for educationally challenged clowns like yourself, to bandy words with.

rman:Don't mind them. Majority of those jumping up and down on this thread, do not know the first thing about telecoms firms, or the way they operate. When it comes to Mobile Switching Centres (MSC) for example, it is the big telco infrastructure companies like Motorola, Ericsson and Siemens that play in this field. They are the OEMs. MTN does not manufacture one single pole, modem, RF radio or antennae for its operations. These telco infrastructure firms bring in the equipment, sell it to MTN, Airtel, Glo and co, and then maintain it for a stipulated number of years. And they all have offices and warehouses in Lagos. So how can govt tell us that their Federal Ministry of Finance officials all over the federation, as well as tax authorities at federal and state level, including Nigerian Customs Services turned a blind eye to the fact that MTN was not paying taxes and import duties, for 10 whole years?!! Haba! Make dem dey lie, small-small nah! If what govt is saying is actually true, then every senior staff of the Ministry of Communications, as well as Ministry of Finance, including FIRS and Customs, from the level of director upwards, should be sacked with immediate effect! They have failed woefully in this regard! 2 Likes 1 Share |

RevenGeMission:You do not know anything about how telcos operate, so kindly educate yourself. It is only in Nigeria, that telcos have to provide 2 generators at every Base Transceiver Site (BTS), because your power infrastructure is in shambles. It is only in Nigeria, that telcos have to pay state govts exorbitant amounts for right-of-way (ROW) to lay fibre-optic cables, in order to provide telecom services to the public. It is only in Nigeria, that BTS locations are vandalised routinely by miscreants, local govt agents and indigenous community members/youths, with their valuable equipment stolen, because they want to extort money from the telcos. Equipment ranging from air-conditioners in telecom shelters, to switches LNBs or BUCs as well as diesel gensets, are stolen daily from different BTS sites nationwide, and this has a negative impact on the telco's network. How can good services be provided, in the midst of so many constraints? Yet, the telcos are doing their best to still provide such services despite all these challenges. Nothing was laundered by any bank. The money that MTN earned as revenue from its services was kept in the banks, and repatriated to their parent company or their home country. So the word 'launder' does not apply to MTN's operations, in this case. 3 Likes |

Positiveminds: No, sir. Read the OP's post again. WHT was NOT mentioned. This is what they said: “The Attorney General notified MTN that his office made a high-level calculation that MTN Nigeria should have paid approximately $2bn in taxes relating to the importation of foreign equipment and payments to foreign suppliers over the last 10 years,” a statement signed by the Public Relations Manager, MTN Nigeria Limited, Funso Aina, stated on Tuesday. |
