Mr no one is against octavo.


I respect octavo as I have done business with him time past in respect to a phone. So I hold him in high esteem and will accord him respect any day anytime. He taught 98% of everything there is to the data business. Yes I say so openly.

Now sir you have to understand this about market. As I had said earlier we operate a free market system where every one can sell an item at any price they wish too. That's why its call capitalism. And needless I remind you that price regulation or control have never been and will never be completely successful. Some few examples fan be seen

1. China. Even with how China boast of a socialist government there is still high variation on price of items among sellers

2. Nigeria: Sir though I was never born as at the time of General Bihari / Odiagbon but history tell us that there was war against indiscipline and also price control where price of items were regulated. But even at this some sellers sold more than the other. Woke Soyinka stated this clearly in one of his interview against buhari.

3. Senegal or so (I think its Senegal I can't recall which country). In that country even with the price regulation of cement. Dangote a foreigner went in and slashed the price to half its normal price this send vibrations to every cement maker.

All my above three examples are to show that you can't completely wipe out competition or ensure a fixed price for an item through out a market not even the best socialist government of China could do it how much more we Nigerians.


That been said. Now is not time to trade blames or insults or complains. No matter how long you keep on shouting octavo !! Octavo !!! Or resellers it will not crash the price or revert the issue of SME DATA SHARE. what we should be talking of now is SOLUTIONS, not just solutions but Viable ones. This is the way forward. Rather than shouting octavo or reseller spoilt this and that.

Can we take a legal against this zero integrity company?I just confirmed from their FAQ on SME Data Share as a basis of such legal action 'Is there a limit to the number of beneficiaries that I can share data with?No, there is no limit as long as the sponsor has enough data to share'.

any lawyer in the house

I go join testify on the case , I have the screen shot of the msg

Chigold101:
after paying themoney what else will do? Cos i will do that first thing tomorrow. Another thing is this? From the time i will pay, what will be the validity? Not that 1gb will lastmore than 2weeks but i still want know. Thanks

Once you are done with the bank payment, get to me on 08144845524, text me the MTN number you want the data to credited. That's all.
As for validity period, you will surely get 30 days. Thank you

Dmanlex:
hope u don't exprience dis same problem of transfering MB

No problem in it, it's just the restrictions that MTN placed on it. Thank you.

I see some greedy resellers blaming the competition for MTN's action, they couldn't be further from the truth, MTN has not given any explanation for their action, the truth lies in the fact that MTN is greedy and care less about their customers cause they are the market leaders, there is no business without a healthy competition to determine price, have you forgotten so soon that if not for competition, we would still be making calls at per minute billing with MTN?
MTN is the culprit here, simply put, if you can't stand the heat, leave the kitchen.

I see more sellers emerging and i also see this business closing soon......

Someone working with mtn is playing games with all nigerians......mtn customer care rep, doesnt know sme plans yet.....so funny...

Minor changes in this repressive and regressive policy doesn't make the average Nigerian dumb. We are still street-smart and business saavy.


THE POLICY IS STILL YOUNG AND IN ITS INFANCY. By November one guy, 1 smart Nigerian Guy will upstage the new repressive and regressive mtn policy. WE HAVE A WAY OF GOING AROUND POLICY BUMPS AND HURDLES.

Just chill. You paid mtn agent you will witness new dimensions in the face of this new repressive and regressive policy.

Ymodulus:
You can't say that for sure octavo.

In a capitalist system of market there is always bound to be freedom of price. Even Mtn understands this.


To me I feel the problem is that we are in a country where an Organization can just come out, change rules or policy without properly notifying her customers and they will work away with it. Even our lawyers are not helping matters. You cant pay them a token to sue a company even when its apparently clear that they have much to benefit.


Now is not the time to trade complains or blames. Every wise business man should know that anything is bound to happen in business. And should prepare well.
Now its time to discuss the way forward for the different set of people.

1. The set of people that have about 30 - 75 gig
2. Those with 1- 30gig
3. Those yet to renew their subscription
4. Those who just renewed.


Solutions
Looking at all possible ideas there are only 3 ways to go about this and anything aside this three is just futile.

1. Sue Mtn
2. Plead with NCC or Mtn to let us finish our current Data and then give us a set date after which the new system will kick off.
3. Ask Ncc to force Mtn to re-compensate Us.
4. Sell 10GB only at 1Gb per user and at a Higher price.





Let's just say DataStrike just started and we need a Nigerian Data Congress with a president, protest and lodge a complain.

Why not take to twitter and other social medias and bombard them with emails with a screenshot of the FAQs page to protest this madness of MTN?..

I SOLIDLY agree wit u bro. Expecially on twitter...i discovered dat these companies try as much as possible to maintain deir names on social media. Dat's why i no longer waste my time and ba3 calling any of d telecom's customer care. Instead, i jst snd dem a tweet! So, all d data resellers shud bombard mtn on social media....most expecially on twitter.

I'm just like you in a way.. Just that I hate to write much, you on the other hand, prefer to elaborate.

Your reply to that dude is Spot On!

Now that there's an MTN clamp down, some resellers are now selling even cheaper than they used to, before the clamp down.

Some sold 1400 for 1gig, now I'm seeing 1300.

Obviously, the price crash had no negative effect.

don't tell it's with this development that my MTN is a bit fast in my area? hahaaa MTN you guys are damn wicked and you didn't contact your customers before this. l

All noise was due to the existing data balance with the resellers.

GUYS will sell 750mb for 1k. Watchout for Minor Resellers and Major Dealers soon. Mtn just made this business lucrative for the resellers.

Imagine Luluosas selling to Corporate organizations only. Or a smart guy dealing with individuals like me on possibly 3 or more fronts using 3 or more POS.

IT IS A GAME OF NUMBERS. Economics of Scale is the answer.

You can define your niche. Create ur market segment. Don't let mtn knock you down.

Think Your Way Out Of mtn SME Data Share Quagmire. You Have Been The Best Solutions to Our Data Challenges.

ALL SME DATA SHARE DEALERS SHOULD THINK OUT OF THE BOX.

YOU DID BEFORE THAT IS WHY I CAN POST THESE LINES. Stay in Business for people like me.

If I may ask, what for? ....Even when many people ranted about MTN to reduce data plan for ANDROID users that are even much than the number of reseller, nothing happened...So, what's the coming together gonna bring about?...You think MTN will change her policy because of some resellers?....I doubt it..
