Is this a news? See what joblessness can cause.

The dirty game called politics where common citizens kill themselves over perceived political enemies who share same table at the bar. Nothing is good in Nigeria politics not even Buhari or GEJ.

You are suffering from colonial imperialism. We are Africans and we will always love black

Are there no good hospital in Nigeria? Is he going to treat an incurable disease? Bullshit

Good riddance to bad rubbish

How come nobody is hailing him like before in this picture? Fayose's reputation is diminishing per second after seeing their rejected golden stone (Fayemi) going higher.

In twenty years time, animals will surely be better than our generation morally.

Ethiopia has ruled out allowing foreign telecom operators into its domestic market.
The position was stated by the CEO of the state landline telecom monopoly – Ethio Telecom – Mr Andualem Admassie.
He was speaking at The Economist Ethiopia Summit panel in the capital Addis Ababa this week.
“The answer to your question [whether] Ethiopia is planning to open up the telecom sector to foreign operates is No,” he told reporters.
“We won’t open the telecom sector to foreign companies because we need to use the money from the sector as an enabler of growth of the country.
“We circulate the money in the economy. We don’t want to let in foreign operators and allow the profits from the sector leave the country,” he said.
Responding to the claim that the government did not want to let in foreign operators because of its intention to control the information outflow, the Mr Andualem denied it and insisted the reason was only for economic benefit.

Ethio Telecom’s gross profits reached 21.5 billion Birr (around $1 billion) in the 2014/15 budget year, a rise from 17.5 billion Birr in the previous year.

Currently it has some 60 million subscribers, which according to Mr Andualem it seeks to increase to 103 million subsribers by 2025.
He mentioned that the country is investing in both fibre and wireless technologies to improve Internet service delivery in Ethiopia. Presently there about 40 million mobile phone subscribers in the country.
Rafiah Ibrahim, the Middle East and North East Africa chief at Ericsson, which is one of the three foreign companies currently engaged in the infrastructure development of Ethiopia’s telecom sector, admitted that mobile phone penetration in Ethiopia has been growing fast.

“We believe that every 10 per cent mobile penetration increase will result in one per cent GDP growth,” she said.
Along with Ericsson, two Chinese telecom companies – Huawei and ZTE – are also working on telecom infrastructure expansion in Ethiopia on contracts worth $1.6 billion in total.

N1.04 Trillion Fine: NCC Suspends Regulatory Services To MTN

The Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) has suspended all regulatory services to MTN Nigeria until its pays the N1.04 trillion ($5.2bn) fine for flouting its directive to deactivate 5.2 million incomplete subscriber identification module (SIM) cards on its network,

Consequently, the share price of MTN Group reacted failing by 12 per cent yesterday.

LEADERSHIP had yesterday reported that NCC fined MTN Nigeria N1.04 trillion ($5.2bn) for not deactivating incomplete SIM cards on its network.

LEADERSHIP can also confirm that Nigeria’s largest mobile operator with headquarters in South Africa is in for more trouble for 28 accumulated breaches.

According to an NCC document exclusively cited by LEADERSHIP which catalogued MTN’s numerous infractions, the regulator decided to wield the big stick to beat MTN into line.

“In the NCC quarterly compliance enforcement report for Q2 2015, out of the six sanctions imposed on operators for various acts on non-compliance, MTN was involved and sanctioned for four separate infractions,” the NCC document stated.

“As it stands today, MTN’s persistent violations have forced the NCC to impose the unprecedented sanction of suspending all regulatory services to MTN following its accumulation of over 28 separate and proven infractions.”

NCC also said MTN’s dominance places limitations on the federal government’s power.

MTN currently has 59.3 million active subscribers, the largest fibre-optic and microwave backbones and the largest data centre in sub-Saharan Africa and uses over 9,000 mobile towers for its operations.

“MTN’s dominant position in the mobile telecommunications market is so strong that the other telecommunications operators in combination cannot provide sufficient capacity to cover for MTN’s traffic if for security or other reasons the government needed to impose ultimate sanctions. This situation may further embolden MTN to not comply with the law in a timely fashion,” the regulator said.

On Thursday, October 22, 2015, NCC reviewed the registration records of all the telecom operators, took into consideration their compliance records, and imposed a fine on MTN alone for noncompliance on SIM registration.

“The fine of N1,040 billion is in line with Section 19 of the SIM Registration Regulations specifying N200,000 per unregistered SIM and the penalty has been applied for the 5.2million MTN SIM card registration records found to be non-compliant by the NCC.

“This unprecedented fine is indicative of the magnitude of the transgression and the seriousness with which the NCC and the authorities are approaching this issue. It is also more likely to ensure that the willful non-compliance by MTN ceases,” NCC stated in the document.

MTN’s infractions, according to NCC, shows that the operator failed to comply with the directive of the NCC and security agencies to deactivate improperly registered subscribers within the seven-day deadline ending on August 11, 2015. Following repeated warnings and compliance enforcement visits as detailed above, MTN only made a partial attempt to bar unregistered subscribers in selected areas over a few days in September 2015.

“Other operators had fully complied and reconciled their deactivations with the invalid registrations shared by the NCC up to four weeks earlier. The consequence of MTN’s refusal to comply with the directive is even more pronounced as about a half of all the invalid registrations shared by the NCC belonged to MTN.

“These SIM cards with invalid registrations pose a grave security risk to the country as their registration information cannot be used to successfully identify their owners in the event of a security issue involving any of these SIM cards. The recent kidnapping of the former finance minister, Chief Olu Falae, is one example of this risk: the kidnappers used MTN SIM cards and MTN was unable to provide any registration data for those SIMs,” NCC explained.

NCC stated that “MTN’s non-compliance with the deactivation directive is unfortunately not an isolated incident. It needs to be seen in the context of a general pattern of non-compliance, with regulatory directives that actually predates the current SIM registration infractions.”



MTN’s Catalogue of Regulatory Infractions

Other infractions committed include non-compliance of MTN with the restriction on promotions imposed on mobile operators on November 8, 2012, in an effort to address persistent Quality of Service issues within the industry; failing to comply with NCC’s Determination of Dominance 2013; and violation of pricing obligations under the 2013 Dominance Determination for MTN Virtual Top Up plus.

On May 2014, NCC issued a ‘final warning’ to MTN to comply with its pricing obligations under the 2013 Dominance Determination or face penalties.

On October 2014, NCC imposed sanctions on MTN for violating its pricing obligations under the 2013 Dominance Determination through its ipulse offer. And on August 8, 2015 MTN failed to comply with NCC directive to all operators to stop the automatic migration of data bundle subscribers to Pay As You Go (PAYG) browsing upon depletion of their data bundles, which other operators complied with.

On July 8, 2015, NCC directed operators to deactivate all pre-registered SIM cards (SIMs registered but without a record of activity) within a period of 21 days – from July 8, 2015 to July 29, 2015.

On August 4, 2015, operators, representatives of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Department of State Services and the NCC held a meeting to discuss issues concerning SIM registration in Nigeria.

The issue of invalid registrations was highlighted as a major threat to national security and a directive was issued to all telecommuni- cations operators to deactivate all SIM cards with improper/invalid registration details by August 11, 2015. On August 17, 2015, NCC and security agencies conducted a compliance audit on all operators between August 17, 2015 and August 19, 2015 following the expiry of the August 11, 2015deadline for deactivation of improperly registered SIM cards.

The NCC disclosed, at press conference on August 17, 2015, that despite sharing a list of invalid registration details with operators, MTN made little or no effort towards compliance with the deactivation directive whereas other operators largely complied.

It noted that on September 4, 2015, a high level meeting chaired by the chief of staff to the President Muhammadu Buhari was called at the presidential villa, Aso Rock, Abuja.

This meeting is unprecedented in the Nigerian business industry as the telecom CEOs were brought to meet the heads of the main security agencies – ONSA, DSS, Directorate of Military Intelligence, (DMI) and the NCC – in order for the compliance with the deactivation directive to be emphasized.

Operators were advised that continued noncompliance would lead to the imposition of penalties of N200, 000 per improperly registered SIM card in line with S.19 and S.20 of the SIM Registration Regulations 2011, and that all businesses must respect the law or risk licences being revoked.

According to the NCC document , the chief of staff implored operators to take the matter seriously, noting that (i) security and safety of the people is No. 1 on the president’s agenda; (ii) 70 per cent of kidnappings, violent crimes and insurgence are facilitated using unregistered SIM cards, making it impossible to trace the perpetrators; (iii) government supports the private sector but companies must operate within the law; (iv) in other countries, heavy fines are levied on the private sector for noncompliance (e.g. JP Morgan’s $20bn fine).

It was also agreed that (i) operators were to immediately reconcile the records of their deactivations against the list of invalid registrations earlier shared with operators by the NCC by September 7, 2015; and (ii) a penalty of N200, 000 per unregistered/poorly registered SIM would be imposed as stipulated in the SIM Registration Regulations 2011.

Who deserves punishment of these thieves

America and their selfish interests. They are creating desolation and they called it peace. What is peaceful in Libya today? Nothing.
Obama is a total failure to Africa and the world.
No wonder Putin is better than him.
