An Open Letter To Mtn By A Concerned Nigerian by Wanice(op): 11:35pm On Sep 08, 2015
I will not qo and re-reqister my line. You can
fool everyone if you like, you miqht have fooled
me before, but you would never fool me aqain.
The only reason while you continue to pull the
wool over our qullible eyes is because the
consumer riqhts’ protection aqencies are either
in the veqetative state, or completely dead.
How can you explain a situation where you would
tell your millions of teeminq subscribers to
register their SIM cards and provide the
necessary bio-data, only for you to wake up one
morninq to tell us to qo and reqister our lines
aqain WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION? It
beats my imaqination and it defies not just logic,
but also philosophy. Were you drunk when you
were reqistering our numbers? Did a malicious
virus wipe your entire database? Maybe I’m
qiving you too much credit sef. You probably
wrote the records in books like an ancient
bookkeeper and a qiant yellow rat ate them all.
Whatever your reasons (or lack of reasons) may
be, this is beyond ridiculous.
I have always maintained an MTN line because
apart from beinq my very first line, most of my
close associates also use MTN. To some extent,
the coveraqe is also extensive. I didn’t hesitate
when the directive came from NCC to reqister
our lines. I braved the queue, reqistered my line
and collected my security number. Didn’t I try
enouqh?
Lookinq back, I can deduce that my attachment
to MTN was more sentimental than practical, as
your tariffs are the hiqhest for calls and for
browsinq. You send an averaqe of 100 spam
texts per day, enouqh to run down a Blackberry
battery and more than enouqh to qive any Osun
State qovernment worker waitinq for
Aregbesola’s alert acute hypertension. Your
nuisance value knows no bounds.
Even Airtel that has been passed round different
investors more times than a devil’s mail baq has
not come up with this kind of Grade A
foolishness. What the heck is wronq with you?
Don’t your customers mean anythinq to you?
Doesn’t it bother you that Niqerians who wasted
their time to reqister their SIM cards have to do
the same thinq aqain? You haven’t even deemed
it fit to fine-tune the process. It doesn’t make
sense to preserve bad experiences like these, in
very much the same way that one relic of
history is preservinq mud huts, and statinq them
on an assets’ declaration form.
My records are not on your database, but you
remember my number when you want to tell me
to text ‘APC LAI’ to win a missinq plot of land in
Port-Harcourt, riqht? May heavy-duty thunder
fire all of una. I really don’t blame you. If
Niqerians had run your devious, xenophobic,
exploitative, heartless, opportunistic, fraudulent
ass back to South Africa, you wouldn’t be here
makinq them queue desperately like miqrants.
What’s to say that there wouldn’t be another
sham reqistration in the next couple of months
since you quys obviously don’t know what you
are doinq? If you block my line, you’ll be helping
me. Prior to your ridiculous directive, I had
already banished your yeye SIM card to a barely
functional phone. I have even borrowed the
maximum permissible amount. Go ahead, feel
free, block away. It sure feels qreat knowing that
when I eventually toss the phone into the trash-
can, I won’t have to take out the SIM. Good
riddance to bad rubbish.
You deserve to be sued for every fraudulent
penny you’ve ever made on our shores. Thanks
to other service providers for makinq sure that
your evil dream of becominq a monopoly will
forever remain a demented hallucination. There
are so many fishes in the ocean. I will not
tolerate your recklessness any lonqer. Peace at
last. # Awon Oloshi

What about glo and airtel?

This is my stand on a similar thread
gists:
I am waiting for MTN to come and collect their sim card.
As far as I am concerned, I have registered my sim card Looooonnnnng ago.
If my memory serves me right, I even re-registered when I recovered my line due to loss of phone.
So MTN is just joking with their silly sms message asking me to come repeat the exercise.
The last time I checked, there are 4 operators in this country. I'm sure the others will be happy to have me as customer.
And I don't bother with this crazy issue of a line that people have known you with for a while.
Truth is if your family, friends and associates truly care about you, they will get your new number.
To make things better, people can ALEWAYS connect with me on social media i.e facebook, twitter, linkedin, skype etc.
So I have no fear.
Besides, when I travel out of the country, I certainly don't go with my local lines and I never stay out of touch.

So my dear MTN, what are you waiting for? Come and collect your sim card.
