mactoni91:You think you can do without Mtn? Let Mtn network go down for 24hrs and see the chaos in the country. Infact if they want to sanction us they will just sabotage the network. Hope you enjoy using glo and airtel, as for Etisalat, you know it is under Mtn network right? |

Way to go. South Africans must not be allowed to get away with the killings of Nigerians in SA. I pray Nigerians are able to pull this off |

Ezzymadu:If you are reasonable, this should be a time to promote your local companies as alternatives. That’s a healthy competition and will favour Nigeria. Shutting down of any Firm this period should be prohibited, unless the company does something illegal! Dont quote me if you don’t have any intellectual discussion! |

Kobojunkie:This is someone who reasons! Kudos for bringing this up! I wonder why any student should join such protest. If they are asked to submit their names, so they won’t be employed by any South African company in the future, they would decline. This ‘shutting down’ looks like an avenue to loot or be bribed . Not in anyway beneficial to Nigerians |

There are more than 108 south African companies operating in Nigeria and they make over 9.8 billion Rand per year. Our citizens have earned a right to be in that country sir if they combine all the businesses of our citizens over there I doubt if it's up to 5B Rand. Whatever company they have here can and will definitely be replaced by indigenous ones. The south African would be wise to caution there thugs. The amount of money MTN alone makes in 1 year from Nigeria they can't get it in 7 years in South Africa, who born them 😏 Jakarta: |

Lol dey play, networks are waiting on the sideline to take their spot with quickness. We will wean ourselves off of that cancerous dependence on them, the same Nigerians thought they could not do without subsidy and we are without it today, that's the same way MTN and all south African companies will go, it will be hard at first but another will take their place. They know it that's why their CEO has been on overdrive begging Nigerians to take it easy this past couple of weeks. It's a huge national security risk to have an entire country's telecommunication industry in the hands of foreigners who clearly hate us.....it's a pity we are being ruled by bütt holes nedekid: |

ViceGovernor:MTN Nigeria has a workforce of over 1,900 employees, with about 99% of them being Nigerians. Some of these protesting students may even end up working for MTN someday. As for profits, MTN has invested billions of dollars in Nigeria's telecom sector. Why wouldn't it expect to make a return on that investment? You forget that year when Econet dey change owners every week, before Airtel acquired it? Let's not even talk about the push, start, quench Glo of a network. Yes, Nigerians have every right to live and do business in South Africa, and xenophobic attacks there are condemnable anytime, any day. But destroying the assets of a multibillion dollar company because of the actions of some intolerant individuals in another country is a capital NO for me. |

Look at these fools, when children and teachers were kidnapped in state they never said anything, when communities were wiped out in some parts of the country they never said anything. Useful idiots. |

Whatever infrastructure MTN thinks they have it will all be nationalized and transferred to other network providers if they don't force the hand of their government to stop the xenophobia. They're enabling it by allowing their network to be used to spread hate and encourage the lynching of Nigerians, our senators are already looking at chasing their major businesses away. Jakarta: |

mactoni91:so you are still thinking South Africa owns DSTV? wooow. It is now owned by CANAL+ INTERNATIONAL, a French company. As for MTN, there is a difference between MTN Group and MTN Nigeria. They will only end up hurting our own people who work in MTN Nigeria and their dependents. |

ViceGovernor:Lol, no offence but it is likely you may be young to have experienced what it means for Nigerian to run organizations, we do not have the capacity, we do not have the work ethics, we are black and so by default cannot get our act together. Which outfit have Nigerians been able to run without running it down, from Nigeria airways to Air Nigeria, to virgin Nigeria(acquired from virgin airlines), what of Nnsl (Nigerian national shipping line), abi is it Nitel? A country so corrupt that NNPC refinaries could not produce 4 liters of petrol after $3.5b had been spent, as Benin boys will say, "they have use the money to buy benz". Oga you know if Mtn network shakes Etisalat will automatically go because their platform is Mtn, you will then be left with 2 networks ie glo and airtel. Both networks are already shitty, imagine if more subscribers move to their already shitty network, it is like putting a straw on the entrance of your pee hole and peeing after drinking 6 bottles of beer. Even if you say Nigerians should run the place, they will run it down, besides the south Africans have the source codes, the blue prints etc. Mtn is of strategic national importance in Nigeria, from your Nin, bvn, jamb waec etc. Infact we rather should be careful let south Africa not decide to sanction us through messing around with Mtn servers. It is just like when buhari government wanted to allow mastercard(an American company) handle our national identification project. A lot of Nigerians including myself protested against it. Ofcourse the usual zombie databoys ignoramus attacked us. Imagine if an American company has such sensitive information, America can even tell mastercard to ground the Nigeria economy by turning off the mastercard network to Nigeria. We are in a tight spot with Mtn. As for dstv note that their services in Nigeria is owned by Adewumi ogunsanya through multichoice Nigeria, so while hurting dstv you are also hurting Nigerians. |

ViceGovernor:Nationalized? That's easier said than done. Just look at what happened to NITEL, NICON, and Ajaokuta Steel. Government ownership made those companies crumble As for holding MTN responsible for everything South Africans Xenophobia acts, that sets a dangerous precedent. By that logic, should Nigeria ban or nationalize Nairaland, Facebook, or X because they've all been used to spread hate speech, misinformation, and even criminal propaganda against Nigeria and Nigerians? Should we place a bet? our senators will never do anything of sort, forget about bribe. |

I agree, we should all proceed with caution and it is very Important that diplomacy be applied not violence or economic sabotage. I still would like to see my country regain our previous status of the number 1 economy in Africa. I think we are enriching our rivals at the detriment of our own economic progress. And this rival hates us eith perfect hatred. It's all about MONEY AND WOMEN. Nigerians are very enterprising especially in other countries, and women are attracted to success. That is the situation that brought about the whole hatred towards Nigerians in Southy. Jakarta: |

You clearly have not used Glo recently, Airtel may be a bit shaky but currently Glo is head to head with MTN in terms of their network quality and overall service delivery. Do you also know among all networks Glo has the best call, sms and data to airtime ratio. With Glo I can purchase a gigabyte with less than 500 naira. I don't think that's possible with MTN. MTN just happened to amass a lot of customers because they were here before Glo, they got years of headstart on the competition. They have more customers than Glo but the network is the same, Glo is actually better in my location. nedekid: |
