Dear Nigerians, each time I read comments regarding this MTN penalty madness by NCC, I end up wondering if most of the comments were just for fun or realistic opinion of the commentators both on Nairaland and other top social sites. The Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC slammed a N1.4 trillion penalty on MTN Nigeria for failure to disconnect customers with unregistered SIM cards. That fine is outrageous please! We have to stop the sentiments. I don't see MTN paying that huge amount of money. They have given reasons why they were reluctant with the SIM card deactivation thing which I believe is credible and reasonable enough.

We should not forget that MTN has the largest data base of users in Nigeria and they care so much about their customers more than the unfriendly policy.
They wanted a gradual process to the issue which favoured their customers more. Trust most Nigerians, registration of our SIM has always been an issue because of our 'attitudes'. MTN even called some customers, pleaded on many of them and even used free bonuses to encourage subscribers to register and update their SIM but many still refused. That's how we roll in Nigeria Now, deactivating those SIMs would have resulted to severe difficulties for users who had genuine reasons for their inability to update their account.
Yes, MTN violated the law but justice can be tampered with mercy. MTN has done so much for this country: from infrastructural development to massive man power empowerment and development. From educational development to massive entertainment industry boost, in summary, MTN corporate social responsibility programmes are highly commendable and among the best in this country. MTN has changed lives in this country: many people can pay their bills because of this same company. MTN has done so much for us and should be respected please.Their (MTN) investments in the telecom sector have affected other telecom giants positively. This embarrassment against MTN should stop please. MTN is not like all these Indian and Lebanese companies that reserve most juicy management positions for their own citizens only, MTN pays their direct workers (Nigerians) very well unlike most of these foreign companies operating in Nigeria i.e ISON BPO. Top management players in MTN Nigeria are Nigerians. I strongly believe they should be respected and the large data
base and services the company operates here in Nigeria should be considered too. It's not easy to adhere to such rule while having such data base like that of MTN.
For those calling for MTN to leave
I laugh in Chinese and Zulu Yes, if MTN leaves Nigeria, it will surely affect the company heavily but we will suffer it more. Our economy will suffer and unemployment will rise. You are calling on Nigerians to port to Glo and others: wait until any of these telecom companies handle the number of subscribers MTN is currently handling, then you will appreciate MTN better...I can bet you, many of them will collapse! They will not be able to handle such huge traffic.
Those of you calling MTN names
Can you count how many times you have cheated MTN to browse for free? Do you think the infrastructures used for internet services are bought for free? Do you think it is easy to maintain a business in the Nigerian environment with poor power and transportation sectors? Think again please! Don't ever forget that you benefit from MTN directly or indirectly. For those of you crying about MTN promo, did MTN force you into any promo? And most of us don't read terms and conditions of these services and promo from MTN and others.
MTN does not force you to subscribe to any of her services. Yeah, some marketing strategies are deployed to lure customers into certain services but it's still left for you to opt-in and opt-out. I can beat my chest to say that since 2009 I started using MTN line, I have never experienced any reason to accuse them of stealing. I rather say thank you to MTN than accuse MTN of stealing from me. Subscribers make the mistake of subscribing for one service or the other and finally accuse MTN of stealing from them. Some subscribers leave their app running on the background while their airtime gets deducted and they blame it on MTN. You're asking DSTV to leave as if it is DSTV that's working against an indigenous company from doing well in the same market. We complain about MTN and we still don't want to leave them, why? Other telecom companies should compete well with MTN or is it MTN that prevented Glo from taking over other African countries? MTN remains the best network in Nigeria and Africa, take it or leave it. The company should be respected and appreciated too. At least, they accepted to invest in the Nigerian telecom industry back then when other companies where shying away from Nigeria. They made the sector attractive. They made the industry lucrative, they believed in Nigeria when others didn't. I love MTN with my whole heart. Please, we should empathize with them instead of slamming them.

Tbliss12:
Bros forget it, nobody is INDISPENSABLE!! If MTN moves out of Nigeria today another network will EMERGE and even better.

erekoshe:
They're in[b] completion[/b], nobody is forcing u to remain with their network

Completion or Competition?

Anyway, staying or leaving them is my choice and not your opinion.

MustyDanYaro:
Its either you're a MTN staff or you've been paid to write this nonsense.

It is criminal to defend a company like MTN that has for years fleeced and exploited Nigerians.

On top of that, MTN evaded tax for years & created tax havens in Dubai and Mauritius where money made in Nigeria are laundered to just to avoid paying tax.

In fact, this is not just a felony, this is economic treason. They must pay the fine & all the tax they've evaded.

Kudos to NCC. The FIRS and EFCC must wake up and further investigate MTN.

danniekute:
This what MTN is doing for our people

Bloggers like u need to be arrested.

MTN has done NOTHING for nigeria, instead they have been ripping us off.

Alexander001:
never sleep, stay awake to plot revenge...I recharged mtn 400 and left my SIM card unused in my wallet for a month plus. only for me to put my sim back to make call and saw #5. I called the customer service to know my crime only for the guy to tell me that I had used my sim to answer mtn Q $ A for which each answer cost #20...my people, how can I answer question with SIM card inside my wallet?

If MTN was the worst network provider, it would be having 2m subscribers, the fact that they have 62m it means they are doing something good or better other networks.

calabardick:
not so easy brother, many have applied for license to come in but our ogas ate the top joined hands with the 4 cardinal networks to deny and delay their license...... as GEJ

Romeolowo:
try to hit ur head in the wall stingy guy

Mikkyboy008:
Yes I know they violated the law.Reason might Probably be because they put the customers first with consideration of what the customers with unregistered sim might lose but then again,is it not What we'd probably want from companies like that?I mean,companies that put customers first?And I so believe most of the people saying mtn deserves the fine they are getting now are one of those that have not registered their sim,neglecting the fact that mtn 'fought' for them,in a way,by not blocking their sims,something they wouldnt have wanted.
