Dear Nigerians, each time I read comments regarding this MTN penalty madness by NCC, I end up wondering if most of the comments were just for fun or realistic opinion of the commentators both on Nairaland and other top social sites. The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC slammed a N1.4 trillion penalty on MTN Nigeria for failure to disconnect customers with unregistered SIM cards. That fine is outrageous please! We have to stop the sentiments. I don't see MTN paying that huge amount of money. They have given reasons why they were reluctant with the SIM card deactivation thing which I believe is credible and reasonable enough.

We should not forget that MTN has the largest data base of users in Nigeria and they care so much about their customers more than the unfriendly policy.
They wanted a gradual process to the issue which favoured their customers more. Trust most Nigerians, registration of our SIM has always been an issue because of our 'attitudes'. MTN even called some customers, pleaded on many of them and even used free bonuses to encourage subscribers to register and update their SIM but many still refused. That's how we roll in Nigeria Now, deactivating those SIMs would have resulted to severe difficulties for users who had genuine reasons for their inability to update their account.
Yes, MTN violated the law but justice can be tampered with mercy. MTN has done so much for this country: from infrastructural development to massive man power empowerment and development. From educational development to massive entertainment industry boost, in summary, MTN corporate social responsibility programmes are highly commendable and among the best in this country. MTN has changed lives in this country: many people can pay their bills because of this same company. MTN has done so much for us and should be respected please.Their (MTN) investments in the telecom sector have affected other telecom giants positively. This embarrassment against MTN should stop please. MTN is not like all these Indian and Lebanese companies that reserve most juicy management positions for their own citizens only, MTN pays their direct workers (Nigerians) very well unlike most of these foreign companies operating in Nigeria i.e ISON BPO. Top management players in MTN Nigeria are Nigerians. I strongly believe they should be respected and the large data
base and services the company operates here in Nigeria should be considered too. It's not easy to adhere to such rule while having such data base like that of MTN.
For those calling for MTN to leave
I laugh in Chinese and Zulu Yes, if MTN leaves Nigeria, it will surely affect the company heavily but we will suffer it more. Our economy will suffer and unemployment will rise. You are calling on Nigerians to port to Glo and others: wait until any of these telecom companies handle the number of subscribers MTN is currently handling, then you will appreciate MTN better...I can bet you, many of them will collapse! They will not be able to handle such huge traffic.
Those of you calling MTN names
Can you count how many times you have cheated MTN to browse for free? Do you think the infrastructures used for internet services are bought for free? Do you think it is easy to maintain a business in the Nigerian environment with poor power and transportation sectors? Think again please! Don't ever forget that you benefit from MTN directly or indirectly. For those of you crying about MTN promo, did MTN force you into any promo? And most of us don't read terms and conditions of these services and promo from MTN and others.
MTN does not force you to subscribe to any of her services. Yeah, some marketing strategies are deployed to lure customers into certain services but it's still left for you to opt-in and opt-out. I can beat my chest to say that since 2009 I started using MTN line, I have never experienced any reason to accuse them of stealing. I rather say thank you to MTN than accuse MTN of stealing from me. Subscribers make the mistake of subscribing for one service or the other and finally accuse MTN of stealing from them. Some subscribers leave their app running on the background while their airtime gets deducted and they blame it on MTN. You're asking DSTV to leave as if it is DSTV that's working against an indigenous company from doing well in the same market. We complain about MTN and we still don't want to leave them, why? Other telecom companies should compete well with MTN or is it MTN that prevented Glo from taking over other African countries? MTN remains the best network in Nigeria and Africa, take it or leave it. The company should be respected and appreciated too. At least, they accepted to invest in the Nigerian telecom industry back then when other companies where shying away from Nigeria. They made the sector attractive. They made the industry lucrative, they believed in Nigeria when others didn't. I love MTN with my whole heart. Please, we should empathize with them instead of slamming them.

U work for them and you're scared of getting layed off if NCC continue punishing them. Well, all south African companies should be sent back home. They have too much power, imagine MTN calling me at 3am, sending me like 10 useless consecutive promo messages every morning. Dem never see anything. Dstv own go soon start.

Osahon7:
Smh.! Is this person employable?

Definitely a typo. That is why no matter how excited you are, you need to read over before pushing the send button on social media.

MsGlobalwonder:

MsGlobalwonder:

MTN you don't need to cry. This is exactly how we feel when you bombard us with those useless promo messages and those stupid midnight calls. You will endure as we also are enduring your wickedness.

If 50m Nigerians are to sue you guys for N1000 each. U will pack your masts and run. So you better pay the cheap N1.4trn asap.

N1.4trn penalty too heavy to bear – MTN

Three days after Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC slammed a N1.4 trillion penalty on MTN Nigeria for failure to disconnect customers with unregistered SIM cards, Parent company MTN group has cried out that the fine was too extreme, even as it continues to engage the regulator on how to resolve the issue.

MTN Group noted with dismay that Nigerian Communications Commission refused to listen to its plea to reconsider its stand on the penalty slammed on its Nigerian arm last week.

According to a report, MTN Nigeria spokeswoman, Chineze Gbenga-Oluwatoye, had said in an e-mailed response, that “recommendations were put forward with respect to the non-commensurable nature of the fine but the Nigerian Communications Commission did not accept recommendations that the fine of 200,000 Naira ($1,005) per SIM was too heavy.”

‘‘MTN Nigeria contacted the regulator with concerns that a demand to disconnect SIM cards by a certain deadline would cause “severe disruption” for customers and recommended a staggered process to limit the possible impact,’’ said Oluwatoye.

As a result of the fine, MTN shares plummeted about 20 percent this week in Johannesburg. The biggest four-day drop since 2008, valuing the company at about 284 billion rand ($21 billion).

A MTN service provider tries to register a client's SIM card in Lagos, on October 27, 2015. Nigeria's telecommunications regulator has fined South African mobile giant MTN $5.2 billion for missing a deadline to disconnect unregistered SIM cards, the company announced on Monday. The penalty saw shares in Africa's largest telecommunications company crash more than 12 percent to 167 rand on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the biggest fall the firm has suffered in a day since November 1998.

Nigeria’s telecommunications regulator has fined South African mobile giant MTN $5.2 billion for missing a deadline to disconnect unregistered SIM cards, the company announced on Monday. The penalty saw shares in Africa’s largest telecommunications company crash more than 12 percent to 167 rand on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the biggest fall the firm has suffered in a day since November 1998.

The phone operator had said on Monday that the Nigerian Communications Commission is seeking the penalties because it missed a deadline to disconnect 5.1 million subscribers and is reviewing its management in the country.

Moody’s Investors Service had on Thursday lowered it’s rating for MTN to negative from stable following the fine.

“Key concerns raised to the NCC highlighted the difficulty of carefully reviewing the data on 18.6 million records within the one week deadline to ensure identification and disconnection of only affected subscribers,” Oluwatoye added.

Meanwhile, Financial analysts have pointedly said that Nigeria government is at risk of scaring off investors it can’t afford to lose if the N1.4 trillion fine slammed on MTN holds through.

With an economy struggling to cope with sliding oil prices, the experts said currency restrictions and no finance minister, authorities are doing themselves no favors by penalizing one of their biggest foreign investors.

According to fund managers including David McIlroy of Alquity Investment Management Limited, the fine equates to more than 20 percent of Johannesburg-based MTN’s market value.

“It’s the last thing Nigeria needs, given the economic and political struggles it’s contending with at the moment,” McIlroy, chief investment officer at Alquity, which oversees $100 million of frontier market stocks, including MTN shares, said by phone from London.

MsGlobalwonder:
incomplete bawo? is "husband" her placenta or her....? Everyone is complete as an individual. Pls stop the erroneous idea that a wo(man) is not complete without someone. It's all shades of wrong.

Are you married?

MsGlobalwonder:

Don't misquote me oooo. Reetta is bae. But a woman is incomplete without a man. It's the needful.

Hello Nlders,

I'm an ardent reader and follower of this great forum.
So,I had to create this acct for personal reasons.

To avoid lengthy episodes permit me to keep it simple by going straight to the point. Thanks

As a young lady who's in her early 20s I find it extremely difficult to love a guy not to talk about being in a relationship with one.

There is this guy who can't just help but to love me passionately. We've been together for 9yrs now but who would believe we had sex just once? YES! Just once after enough fighting and struggling.
Sometimes,I had to lock myself inside to weep cuz it's painful and it hurts! Why can't I have normal sex like any other lady out there?

I just detest having sex with a guy and it's as a result of this that I've lost most of my relationships. This stuff is making me sick cuz I want to enjoy sex with a man like any other lady.

THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THAT AM "BIsexual" but a larger part of me hungers for same sex

And the ladies are not even helping matters cuz they also yearn for me every now and then.,
,
I've tried hanging out with some cool guyz even to the extent of doing stuff with them YET! Nothing positive came out.

Presently,am dating a banker and believe me every other thing is perfectly in order EXCEPT the issue of sex.

Am worried cuz I know exactly what it means for someone you love so dearly to deny you of something.

I've prayed
I've also cried my eyes out
I've even gone for counselling @least to ameloriate this kind of lifestyle YET! Things are still the same.
Someone should pls tell me what else to do...

Lalasticlala

Prayed for what? That God should help you enjoy sex before marriage? Or he should help your letsbehonestism quest?

Wos wos wobi, mind yourself ooo

Mary kay at work.

When a pretty and successful lady is still single at 40. Something is definitely wrong. it's either all the men in the world are blind and useless or the lady has got issues with herself.

iliyande:
I’m married to my childhood sweetheart. We lived together for a few years then got married three years ago. He’s a lovely and responsible man and I’m lucky to have him. We have a great relationship, apart from the physical side. His love-making no longer turns me on as it used to.

I’ve never considered cheating on him though lately, I’ve told myself that if the chance arose, I might just go for it. I love my husband very much and we have a cute one-year-old son. He’s very extroverted and I’m sure he’ll be terribly hurt if this marriage breaks so would I. Is there any way out of this.

You lived together for a few years. How many years? That is where the problem lies.

Popular Trybesmen record artiste, Eldee has once again taken the chance to reiterate his decision to retire from his long music career.

The Retired Singer and rapper dropped a new song titled It Ain’t all bad. The singer took to his Instagram to open up on the release of the song and what inspired him.

Read what he wrote:

“Working on improving the Music Industry. Questioning if Artistry is the end goal.

The entrepreneural spirit; These things have pushed music making into the background for Lanre ‘eLDee’ Dabiri.

Nevertheless, eLDee acknowledges his first love and even though it might not be his top priority as he is constantly evolving, he also understands his need to share with fans across the world.Recorded over a soulful track, “It aint all bad” shares a bit of the last few years of eLDee’s music career, and his decision to step away from the scene. Originally produced by N.O Joe & Ervin Pope for Scarface’s “Deeply rooted” album, it is the first of a few mixtape songs that eLDee plans to share with his fans in the coming months.

“I get a lot of messages daily, from fans requesting new eLDee music and while I have chosen a new path, I understand that I did not choose music, music chose me. I have recorded something for the true fans of eLDee and I hope they enjoy it.

This is NOT an attempt to come out of retirement, I am doing this to reciprocate the constant love I have enjoyed from fans, during and after my music career” – eLDee”

I'd love to learn. I did this with the aid of a tutorial video.

Beauty gets into the head of these pretty gurlz. They think just because they are pretty they can behave anyhow and the poor guy wouldn't do anything cos he's scared of losing a pretty girl.

Headline News!

There are no ugly women. The ugly ones are the pretty ones with irritating behaviours.

pinkiberry:
I tell them to get a job then come back.

Amen! He will get a job but he won't come back to you. It means if he has a job while dating you and lost that job, you will dump him or you will tell him to go get a job and come back.

And it it has been N5,435 she donated, well and good.

@The bolded..... So you were saying......

Pure English language Bro.

"I don't think it's a scam" is not a definitive statement. I never said I was sure it wasn't a scam.

All the same, but thanks for participating, I'm gonna go with the house.

I only felt pushCv might have pushed my cv to them. But with all what my fellow nairalanders have said..... I'm taking a bow.

Thanks yall. This is what our government has exposed us jobseekers to.

Philadelphia:
And you say it's not scam? Ok. Just continue but don't fail to open a new thread as soon as you get scammed o. And please, ensure you give us the full gist/ detail. We're waiting.

#yimmu

Why are you saying this? I asked for help, I never said i was sure it wasn't a scam. I just called the number on the mail and I was given another number. I'm starting to doubt, but the moment I'm asked to pay 1kobo, I'm off it.

Thanks for commenting though.

I just received a mail from Addax Petroleum Nigeria. And I don't think its a scam. The problem is that I've been given two days to accept the offer and provide the following REQUIREMENTS

1. Photocopies of Academic Certificate.
2. HSE Competent 3 Certificates(HealthSafety and Environment).
3. 2 copies of Sized Photo Passport.
4. NEBOSH General Certificate OR Nebosh Cover Slip (National Examination Board of Occupational Safety & Health)

How do I get the HSE and NEBOSH certificates?
