pcicero:Well said we always deal with issues from a point of view of sentiment. If MTN did not start GSM, other companies would, we were too lucrative a market to ignore. That a man gives birth to a child does not give him the right to abuse the child. The fines were known before, others complied, why not them? if they want to leave let them leave, we want companies to respect our people and our laws. |

@Op, Classic craap. This I'm bigger than a regulatory body madness is the reason Nigeria is messed with. When a multinational thinks that because they have a large subscriber base and are a zillion dollar strong to play down a directive under the guise of protecting Nigerian, they must be ready to pay trillion naira fines or leave. Anyone knowledgeable in the telecom service industry knows that what any service provider makes per second in built up areas from their services is unimaginable. This same mtn will bill a telco service coy that accidentally brings down their sites millions by the second after a few minutes back up grace without further consideration. why then would they of their own volition flaunt a federal directive and have this classic craap written up in their defense. Have they considered that the subscribers may really no longer be interested in the overpriced data services especially as mobile communications is now going data? |

You're a big fool!Go to other countries and disobey their laws and see what becomes of your business.MTN has disobeyed the law,let them pay the price.Afterall,the profit they make is reflected on South African Stock Exchange. Princedapace: |

Rubbish. You must be an MTN agent or looking for work from them. If they cannot obey the laws in our land, they can as well pack their luggages and leave. |

Seriously, this shouldn't even be a topic for debate. It's simple, there's a law, you know the law and the consequences for breaking the law. There are two things going through the mind of anyone who wants to break a law. 1. I can get away with it. 2. I can bear the consequences. It's not rocket science. Why do we have to drink medicine for another person's headache? |

bodee:So you think its right for MTN to aid and abate kidnappers who use MTN unregistered SIM line to negotiate ransom running into billions of naira. MTN must abide by Nigeria's law if it wants to do business here. 1. Stop sending unsolicited SMS MTN refused. 2. DEactivate unregistered SIM MTN refused. 3. Pay fine for poor services MTN refused. A Nigerian company cannot do all these and operate in South Africa. So you guys pleading or working for MTN not to pay this fine must have forgetten 50 Naira per seconds billing era thanks to Globacom. Infact additional charges should be added for everyday they refuse to pay the fine. |

Princedapace:the reason why the other telcom are not doing fine is becos MTN has the larger subscribers... Wait and let them go and see wonders.... Nigeria is total of millions of people.. Mtn is a scam and they have to pay for it.. If they want to leave; "let them leave" |

Nigerians are sadists. I can't believe someone is supporting This injustice. Is it MTN That caused the depletion of your foreign reserves? There are lots of Nigerian Banks across Africa, plus Dangote industries. How Will You feel if they Start gething This kind of treatment? With a threat to send them out and confiscate their properties. |

I agree that the fine is enough to give MTN finances a massive HBP but we also need to look at an important angle :SECURITY. Since the introduction of the GSM in Nigeria, a new chapter and phase of security challenges were released Crooks, criminals, kidnappers et Al easily tapped into the technology and used it to destroy our lives. We complain of boko haram, frauds and scams but do we realize how crippled their operations would have been if we had good and credible data to work with? MTN was required to ASSIST the country, collate the details of phone users on its network but no, MTN had other plans in mind.According to a publication by the NCC, even when they were contacted to do the needful,they still chose to dilly dally. Would the fine atone for the numerous lives lost to security challenges? families scammed of their lifelong savings etc? Hmnn....the fine can actually kill MTN so I believe the NCC should please pity MTN and bring it down while MTN and other companies should learn to be better socially responsible |

Your reasons are not enough for them to break the Law.MTN were given enough time with several warnings to deactivate unregistered subscribers but they still failed to adhere to the Laws governing the sector. No foreign company will dare try what Mtn is doing to Nigerians in South Africa.Not too long ago,foreigners were killed in South Africa for Labor related excuses. If a subscriber values his sim that much, he/she should get it registered, Period. We r where we r as a nation cos people have failed to apply the Laws governing us as a Nation. If MTN should be pardoned, UBA & First Bank should also be pardoned by CBN. Don't encourage impunity in our land. More is coming Mtn's way for evading tax. Nigeria is a great Nation n shld be respected by whoever lives or do business in our Land. |

I use to delete over 20 messages in a day even though I never subscribed to any of their services. They deducted my money for caller tune even though I don't know how to activate their so called caller tunes. They keep extorting innocent citizens with their network. They should emulate their fellow telecom company. If mtn scale through this time maybe they will comport... Stingy company |

gentle007:The earlier they are quoted on the stock exchange the better. When they are quoted shareholders will the require management to abide by NCC, SEC and NSE rules and regulation. If you eat alone you die alone, I guess that is what MTN is currently experiencing. |

Darkseid:I keep telling folks that when recompense is nigh it doesn't come from a devil with horns from the pit of hell. It comes via the same means wherein one wrecks evil on others, just that one may have messed with the wrong person this time around ala 419ers unwittingly trying to dupe say an organised crime lord. What do you think will happen to such a 419? That's recompense for you, it'd come same way you mete it on others. That's what is happening to MTN. NCC a bigger thief is now wanting to steal 1.4trn from them legitimately and they so deserve it! |
