[center] NCC names Zain best in customer service[/center]


The Nigerian Communications Commission, on Friday, awarded Zain the prize of being the telecom network with the largest customer care outlets and also commended it for showing genuine commitment to serving its customers.

The award was presented to the copany at the fifth anniversary of the Telecoms Consumers Parliament held in Abuja.

According to the Executive Vice-Chairman, NCC, Mr. Earnest Ndukwe, besides investing heavily in setting up customers care and contact centres across the country, Zain had also recruited and empowered its dealers to handle and resolve customer enquiries throughout the country.

He said it was the resolve of the commission to ensure the prevalence of good customer service in the telecom industry, stressing that it was NCC’s job to make sure consumers were not taken for granted but get value for their money.

The prize was presented to Zain before a live audience comprising telecom consumers, regulators, consumer advocacy group, journalists, and operators.

The award to Zain by the NCC comes barely a fortnight after the company was rewarded for the fifth straight year by the Nigeria Telecom Awards for the being the best customer care operator in the country.

Ex Inferis:
its time we own up to the truth: nigerian muslims are making the same mistake year after year. the month of ramadan DOES NOT begin until first september, ie tomorrow. right now in the whole world only nigerians are fasting. the moon rises in the EAST, and since most of the middle east is a couple of hours ahead of us (GMT +) i fail to see how year after year we are the first to sight the moon. the sun sets two hours in saudi arabia before it does here, and the moon rises from their side of the heavens. in Dubai they have an array of telescopes and other astronomical tools aimed at the sky since last night and this morning they conceded not to have sighted the ramadan new moon so i wonder how it is we here saw it with our naked eyes.
as for me, my fasting starts tomorrow.

As long as your muslim leader; Sultan declares it, you are expected to commence. Once you hear that it has been declared; off you go!

Perhaps you might go to sokoto next year with me so we can confirm these findings of the moon-sighting.

However, like a popular scholar suggested today, 'Amirs' from various states of the country should be present at the sultan's palace when this event is around so that we stop this 'madness' of HAUSAS NEVER COMPLETE THIRTY DAYS IN SHABAN OR THEY NEVER FAST 29 DAYS IN RAMADAN.

Ramadan 1429
   Announcement: The holy fasting month of Ramadan will start Monday, September 1, in most Arab and Gulf countries as well as North America and European countries.

"There was no evidence of any person seeing the new crescent today," Saudi Arabia's Judicial Council confirmed in a statement on Saturday, August 30. Therefore, Sunday, August 31, will be the last day of the month of Sha`ban and Ramadan will fall on Monday, September 1, added the council.

   Based on calculations, more than 35 countries have announced that the first day of Ramadan will be on Monday, September 1. Click to see the list

The Astronomical New Moon is on Saturday, August 30, 2008 at 19:58 Universal Time (i.e., 3:58 pm EDT, and 12:58 pm PDT ). This moon is impossible to be seen any where on earth on August 30. On August 31, the moon will be sightable in South America by naked eye, and possibly in South Africa and in Central America if wheather conditions are perfect. It would be very difficult to see in North America on August 31, but it will be visible on Sep 1, Insha-Allah. Therefore, first day of Ramadan (fasting) in North America according to sighting, is expected to be September 2, Insha-Allah. However, according to Saudi Ummul-Qura calendar, Fiqh Council of North America, and European Council for Fatwa and Research, the first day of Ramadan is on Monday, September 1, 2008.

In UK, the moon may still not be visible on September 1. However, according to a new Fatawa from Deoband, India, the first day of Ramadan in UK will be September 2, because the moon should be easily seen by naked eye from Australia to Morocco. In Pakistan also, sighting will be easy on September 1, and first day of Ramadan will also be September 2.

The moon was not sighted in Melbourne today 31st Aug 2008 Sunday evening due to cloudy weather. Sky was clear Just before sighting then cloud appear and disappear during sighting time. However it was sighted in Darwin (Capital City Northern Territory of Australia) according to some evidence. Here are views of Ayn Academy.

“The crescent was not sighted in any other location, but there was a report of a sighting in Darwin. Australian ‘Ulama have decided to accept a sighting report from Darwin. ‘Ayn Academy along with Al-Ghazzali Centre disagrees with this sighting report on the basis of opposing scientific and jurisprudential facts. However, according to a majority of Australian 'Ulama', 1st of Ramadhan commences on Monday 1st of September 2008. …Ayn Academy Adelaid”

Dr. Shabbir Ahmed (MCW member) Imam of Rooty Hill Mosque Sydney Australia reported: Seen
The Hilaal has not been sighted in all of the major states of Australia except Darwin by the evidence of Br. Abshar Mohammad and Br. Kamaluddeen. From the astronomical point of view, there was an extremely slim possibility for the moon to be sighted in all states, including Darwin, but as the coordinator of the Moonsighting Committee of Australia, I have spoken to Br. Abshar and Br. Kamal concerning their confirmation in the sighting of the moon and they both admitted to obtain the responsibility of being the evidence of this sighting. Also, I was informed by other resources that these brothers are of full authenticity. I thereafter discussed this concern with the following Scholars:

Mufti Obaidullah -Melbourne
Mufti Muneeb - Melbourne
Sheikh Gulam Ali - Melbourne
Mufti Naeem Ali -Sydney
Mufti Amjad Iqbal -Sydney
Sheikh Shamim -Sydney
Sheikh Adam -Darwin
Sheikh Ridwan -Sydney
Sheikh Ozair - QLD
Sheikh Imran - Gold Coast
All these scholars agreed upon accepting this sighting of the moon. Therefore, I declared that the first day of the month of Ramadaan would be on the 1st of September, 2008.
Mr. Ahmad I. Adjie (MCW member) from Bandung Indonesia reported: Seen
Alhamdulillah our team led by MCW member Ahmad I.Adjie from Bandung has seen the hilal today after maghrib, sunday 31st August 2008 at SRAU beach, East Java near Pacitan city. Therefore for those who follow moonsighting at Maghrib way in Indonesia, the 1st of Ramadhan will be on Monday, 1st September.

Moon sighting has always been a controversial issue among Muslim countries, and even scholars seem at odds over the issue.

While one group of scholars sees that Muslims in other regions and countries are to follow the same moon sighting as long as these countries share one part of the night, another states that Muslims everywhere should abide by the lunar calendar of Saudi Arabia.

A third, however, disputes both views, arguing that the authority in charge of ascertaining the sighting of the moon in a given country announces the sighting of the new moon, then Muslims in the country should all abide by this.
