₦airaland Forum

I quite agree with you guys about the fine. But lets call a spade a spade, which telecoms company has been VERY helpful to Nigerians through CSR like MTN Foundation. The only company that is investing 1% of its profit in improving the lives of Nigerians.
One other area I admire about them is their youth empowerment programme....MTN Project Fame. No one can argue that among all the Music Reality Shows in Nigeria, MTN Project Fame is the best. Other Music Reality shows sponsored by other telecoms companies are not as fruitful as project fame. Today, these winners are now people many youths look up to.
They might have an issue with NCC, but they helped in changing the lives of many Nigeria POSITIVELY.

In a bid to promote entrepreneurship education and to teach best business practices in Nigeria, leading ICT network in Nigeria, MTN, for the past four months hosted successful business icons and budding entrepreneurs in four major cities across different regions of the federation. This idea- sharing and business-empowerment platform was held in Enugu, Port Harcourt, Lagos andAbuja.
MTN Link Forum is an innovative and interactive platform that is focused on advancing the aspirations of budding entrepreneurs and professionals, by providing them with the opportunity to interact with renowned and successful Nigeria Business icons, who shared with them knowledge, experiences and insights on their business success.

Out of 497 young business professionals that participated in this year’s budding entrepreneurship challenge, Nwaje Lucky, Akinwole Oludayo, Muhammed Salisu and Ogunlana Olumide emerged as the overall winners. Each of the winners received N2.5 million business grants. While ten participants with the best business ideas were also selected for a fully sponsored trip to the 2014 World Entrepreneurship Forum taking place in Lyon, France.

The General Manager, Consumer Marketing, MTN, Mr. Kola Oyeyemi said, “MTN is committed to initiating ideas that make life better for all its customers. The MTN Link Forum is one of these ideas. What MTN has done is to create a platform where budding entrepreneurs can interact with accomplished entrepreneurs and role models, so as to garner insights and knowledge on making a success of their businesses”.

Speakers at this year's MTN Link Forum include the Managing Director of Nigeria's online trading firm, Jumia Nigeria, Dr Jonathan Doerr; the Director of Operations of Mara Group &Mara Mentor, an online mentorship community, Mr. Hetal Shah; the Managing Director of Nigeria's leading online hotel booking firm Mr. Marek Zymyslowski; the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Suntrust Mortgage Bank, Mr. Muhammad Jubrin; the Executive Director of United Healthcare, Dr. Kazeem Mustapha among other notable business icons in Nigeria.

I just observed MTN is giving away 50% bonus on daily internet bundles. I saw a link on my Opera Mini browser  and it took me to an MTN page.
 Anyone else got the same thing? Na jollof for me all weekend!!!

In its effort to finally bring to an end the decade of factional crisis that has slowed its wheel of progress, the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) on Friday, August 8th, 2014 at its Corporate Office, in Lagos, formally admitted the elsewhere factional leader of the institute Mr. Rotimi Adeyeye into the Council of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria.
Adeyeye’s admission into the highest decision making body of NIMN indicates that an end has finally come to the lingering crisis that has resulted into an age-long judicial confrontation between the two factions that have hitherto claimed dual responsibility of overseeing the practice of marketing in Nigeria.
Speaking at the event, the President, NIMN, said the admission of Adeyeye is in the fulfillment of the earlier promised made, while Adeyeye emphasized that he was very satisfied with all the procedures that led to the admission.
‘This is to assure the general public that, all is now well with the institute and the promises earlier made through the memorandum of understanding earlier signed is being fulfilled to the letter’ Koledoye said.
The final admission of Mr. Adeyeye into the Council of NIMN was a follow-up to the agreement reached during last month’s unification and signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two factions where they both agreed to put aside their differences and work for the common good of the institute. It is hope that, never again will the institute finds itself in the messy water of endless and destructive factional crisis.

The ten years old dispute between the Chartered Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (CIMN) and the Nigerian Marketing Association (NIMARK) has finally been laid to rest.
Recently, in Lagos, the two factions put aside their differences and signed a memorandum of understanding; going forward, the amalgamation will now be known as national Institute of Marketing of Nigeria.
The two parties headed by Rotimi Adeyeye (NIMN Gold Card) and Ganiyu Koledoye (NIMN) who were joined by other stakeholders to sign a Unification and Memorandum of Understanding expressed satisfaction at the outcome. They enthused to have long desired to come together as one body that will propagate the essence and core values of the institute while advancing the cause of the profession and interest of the practitioners.
Speaking at the event, the official President of the institute, Ganiyu Koledoye while appreciating the efforts and support of the stakeholders of councils and fellow members, stated that the unification will serve “as a solidarity institute devoid of mockery”.
“This MoU will bind us together as one body and never again will there be any faction or factions that will allow the institute to be ridiculed. There is no professional body in the country without any internal crisis; but they always come together to resolve it, and ours will not be an exception. This is why we are here”.
“We have gone the extra mile to ensure that NIMN certificate is recognised in other parts of the world. We will also use the institute to contribute our quota towards the development of Marketing in Nigeria”.
Koledoye also appreciated the support and role of the federal government for making this a reality while acknowledging the Olusegun Obasanjo led administration for promulgating an Act that established the Institute in 2003.
The then factional leader of NIMN Gold Card, Rotimi Adeyeye while commending Koledoye for his relentless effort in bringing both parties together stated that, the Marketing profession in the country will go all the way to ensure that its impact is felt. “Marketing profession is not in its rightful place in managing the economy of the nation. With the coming together of both parties, we will ensure that the institute takes its leading role and move towards developing the nation,” he enthused.
The institute was established by Act No. 25 of 2003 which was promulgated into law on 25 July by the then President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Hitherto, two professional bodies - Nigeria Marketing Association (NIMARK) and Chartered Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (CIMN) had existed as separate professional bodies competing for membership and authority to regulate the practice of Marketing in Nigeria. The NIMN Act effectively merged the two erstwhile independent bodies and conferred chartered status on the professional body while the Tuesday event officially sealed the unification of the factions.
