I was at MTN office Ikotun this morning as early as 7:30am to get a sim swap. Lo and behold, I met an overwhelming crowd. Almost all the people there had their sim card blocked over the weekend.

The MTN staff addressed the crowd and told them the fault is from NCC who authorized TELCOS to bar people's lines.

Why would NCC be frustrating Nigerians when there's anger already in the land? People need their lines activated for business activities. People who are supposed to go their businesses are crowded at MTN offices because of their lines. I learnt some people came as early as 3am to the office just to get numbers. I couldn't get number because I came by 7:30am. I also learnt MTN staff there worked on Sunday yesterday.

Government should better do something fast before it escalates to something else.
Below are some pictures I snapped. I left there some minutes ago because I couldn't stand any longer. The crowd is overwhelming!!

How's this Tinubus business

E be like say na here the protest go start. Nigerians are being made to endure several difficulties for no just cause.

what is federal government and ncc cooking? is it now that the protest is near they want to disable lines. they want people to be in mtn office august 1st. nonetheless the protest must hold

This is how the protest will start because people are really angry. Government can't keep frustrating Nigerians at any slightest provocation.
My Glo line was also barred but I can't stress myself this morning going to unblock it. I don't know of any Glo office around my area.

If this continues into when the protest starts it's going to be a big problem. I imagine a scenario like this in other parts of Nigeria.

Get prepared to do what??

Do we have to start running to Lome??

Start talking abeg, and those wey dey Enugu,Akwa-Ibom can cross to Cameroon

Government through NCC is testing the mood of the people before the scheduled August 1st protest.

It's so pathetic

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Kj

chai country people.na so the situation reach .nawa well 2days to go.but does it mean even up till now the agbero chairman don't still know what to do .so no agbero to even suggest what the Lagos landlord should do to calm this situation.

So tell how these people won’t join protest even tho some wouldn’t want to.

Daft Govt. Dumb party .

BAT shot himself by calling for revolution and protesting against GEJ.

Now he is the President he can’t even come on live TV to address Nigerians.

GOOD ONE TO PROBABLY EXCHANGE THEIR SIM CARDS WITH AGBADO OR GARRI
TINUBU: Give these millions of bags to Nigerians
POLITICIANS(across party lines, many of whom I know): Which Nigerians, bring those things here and let us repackage and sell them at our newly opened ware houses and shops. It's ridiculous to think a thief will not embolden criminals to up their game at the detriment of sadly their supporters. I have told everyone that needs to hear this protest may lead no where so no point joining, the mother of all protest called end time revolution will happen but not now. it will come from yonder

9MOBILE oo ,Emergency calls only on 9mobile since yesterday. What's happening? Please who is also experiencing this? Are all this happening because of the planned protest? This is really sad. People can't be reached again

Will blocking people's numbers solve the problem? Communication can be maintained via several other means! It is well

Government is using every means to frustrate people and the protest.
Can someone tell me the number of kidnappers, bandits ISWAP etc that have been arrested through the linkage of NIN to phone number?

Why were they blocked cox I also saw the massive crowd at MTN office in ojodu berger...

It means Airtel and Glo will follow suit.

while we south and east aren't part of protest,yes. Its their plan to make Nigerians be focused on Sim issues, just like they fixed oro festival for same period

Dem never see anything

...
MTN is working with the govt to try and distract the people regarding the protest.
It's evident

People are saying it's because they want to frustrate the planned protest

Instead of you to gather on the street to protest gather in mtn office nice strategy.

Glo also blocked lines. Mine was blocked and I'm dumping it for now. Can't stress myself going to unblock it

My line was barred yesterday but as you see me so I no like stress I can't go and disturb myself.. I don't do my business with that Sim.. I don pack am no time

This government has taken Nigerians for a foool truly. They absolutely hate Nigerians and would use any machinery to subjugate the people.

So due to the protest, they had to come up with this insane behavior to deliberately block Nigerians phone lines so they can come queue to rectify their NIN.

Some of them actually have verified their NIN.

Why can’t they verify their NIN via online platform or through their mobile phones why do they need to come to their office?


I urge all Nigerians to make sure they all come out to protest, these are the early behaviors of dictatorship. The earlier you take this behavior, the better for Nigeria.
