They can't sexualize this news, so the commentary will be rubbish.

Tell them to post on the innocence of ijesha, 29 pages and counting. No wonder the Nigeria is terrible.

There is something about this huge Multinational companies and their CEOs that makes them unbelievably greedy.
Always trying to cheat people out of their dues and when they are finally forced to pay, they just pay peanuts.

Nkosana Makate, who is 44 years old, is a South African who proposed the "Please Call Me" concept to Vodacom in his 20s. His idea consisted of sending a free message to other Vodacom users in order to request that they call you, even if you do not have enough credit available to do so.

Nkosana Makate shared the concept with his employer, but never received payment for it. He laid a charge against Vodacom and won the case against them after an 8-year battle. Now he is fighting for the appropriate settlement which he believes is 266 billion naira.


How about me that sold the idea of "borrow credit" to MTN during one of our customer call in the year 2006 nko who has paid me a dine?

TRUTH be told this guy is also damn greedy!

When you work in an organization where you are paid, you are expected to contribute by hard work and idea to move the organization to greater heights and be profitable!

As a staff, He contributed an impressive idea to the company, he was appreciated with a whooping R47 million (About ₦1.2Billion)

Greed push him to demand for more!
Is he expecting the company to hand him all the profits realized from his idea?
No, the CEO unilaterally made the decision which he claimed to be the minimum possible benefit he could have gotten for the idea, he is now requesting that the judge make the decision or set a guideline for the CEO to follow.

That's too much though.

Remember, 5 years ago it was determined Vodacom had made R70 billion from this and Makate was entitled to 5%, but they only offered R47 million. So he's asking for that plus interest.
