I think the amount is not too much for them to pay for their crime. What I am skeptical of are the silly and criminally minded Nigerian leaders who will not use this money for something good. Nigeria is a disgrace to humanity! |

OohLalah:Well, ur tone suggests MTN is doing Nigeria and Nigerians a favour but I disagree, between MTN and Nigeria, it's a win-win for both parties. Question is, how economically robust was the MTN group before dey entered the Nigerian market? In my opinion, they're far richer now than dey were before coming to Nigeria. They're making good profits datz why you won't hear dem saying dey want to leave. They're business people. |

john650: Abeg broda , should Mtn decide to leave Nigeria, we will have a buyer for their company in the next two hours of their decision. Which golden goose are they? Don't ever have the notion that we will feel pain. No pain will come from their exit, not one. But if they leave Nigeria they Will fold up in the next six months. |

When there is benefit, we will always say thanks you. But let us not forget the truth of the Bible. Your did are following after you. If their did is good, people will say. MTN took over their call center from Nigeria and give it to Indians, what will the Nigeria it was taking from will say. The Indian that took over do the ffollowing: 1- increased the working hour by 3 hour. 2- slash their take home pay by 50% Did you think the affected workers will reason and plead for the Indian or MTN ( Indians were expected to create job in Nigeria not to come and take over our job from us). Both MTN and the Indians need to be repatriated back to their country. I guess out of my money deducted withoutaking call or send SMS is what the government is asking for as a penal.. More to say but limited time I have. Considered this too |
Re: We Nigerians Are Unfair To MTN by Jazzygrafix(m): 9:54pm On Oct 31, 2015 |
If i had my way i'd write a thousand negative reviews on mtn and a thousand petitions against them, cos they have little or no value to customers Nigerians are tired of them, tired of South African Firm exploiting Nigerians in our own country. The other day i tried making a transfer and my 1000 got hanging, i called and called and it took almost a week before they finally returned it while i was on a call and my call used up part of it. Something i should have subscribed with. MTN keeps doing us more harm than good, and they even have selected line they promptly attend to. The earlier they left better networks to serve this country and move else where the better for us |

Unfortunately I have read a lot of comments from Nigerians and it is obvious that they do not understand the dynamics of international business and the workings of NCC. This same MTN was fined about N2billion just a few weeks ago by NCC and they have paid. Granted the fact that MTN did not comply with NCC directives which they have cleverly linked to aiding kidnapping and terrorism in Nigeria, is it only MTN that did not comply with the directives of MTN? What about Glo, Airtel and Etisalat? It is only gullible people that will believe NCC and everything that they read on the news media. Below are some facts: 1. MTN has been increasingly targeted by NCC to lose their subscribers base having being declared as the dominant operator in the telecom sector. 2. MTN has sold its base stations and can easily disinvest from Nigeria; contrary to what some people think, Nigeria will lose here as foreign investors will be compel to take their investment to other countries. 3. MTN has a strict policy of not giving bribes and as such will always want to comply with the laws of any country they operate in. It is laughable for NCC to claim that MTN is evading tax when their record of paying tax is in the public domain. 4. If MTN decides to leave Nigeria, it will definitely result in surge in unemployment rate in the country as a lot of people will lose their primary source of income. The latter will affect those directly and indirectly employed by them. 5. Of all the telecom operators in Nigeria, MTN has the best record of giving back to the community they operate in via its Foundation. 6. Globally, regulators in any industry do not aimed at crippling the operations of an operator through dubious and unreasonable sanction. 7. MTN never said that they will not or do not want to comply with NCC directives, they gave reasons why it will be difficult to comply with NCC directives within the timelines given and asked for more time. Personally, I think the latter is reasonable given their huge subscribers base compared with other telecom operators. 8. What is the annual revenue(not profit) of MTN? What is the budget of Nigeria for 2015? For those saying that it is now payback time for Mtn for ripping them all these years, I am indeed sorry for their line of thinking as there is no justification for penalizing a company $5.2billion, an amount they cannot earn as revenue in 3 financial years. The action of NCC is embarrassing and pathetic as it has indeed shown to foreign investors how unfriendly the Nigeria business environment is. The issue here is not the deduction Mtn has been deducting from your phone account, neither is it about the quality of their network but rather on whether the penalty impose on them is reasonable. Let's be honest with ourselves for once, if you are one of the owner of Mtn, would you be willing to pay the $5.2billion fine given the fact that you cannot earn that amount in the next 3years? Personally, I will not think twice of counting my lose and selling the company. Let's be wise! 1 Like |

Princedapace:I couldn't read through the long prose of emotional horse _shit you were yapping up there without a surge of bile surging up in my guts. ARE YOU A NIGERIAN ?? 5.2 million unregistered active SIM is a matter of national security and flagrant disregard of the laws of this country. With the high rates of kidnappings, boko Haram, advance fee fraud, threats and intimidation. I wish the NCC and DSS could add criminal litigation to that sweet fine. What mtn has done for Nigeria is just a drop in the ocean compared to what they make. This is a network thAt claimed per second billing isn't possible in Nigeria until Glo forced them on it. This is a network that has 63 million subscribers....more than the entire population of south Africa. Nope, mtn needs Nigeria like humans need air. When GlaxoSmithKline, BMW, etc defaulted in China early 2015, these British and German companies paid huge fines and tendered unreserved apology to the government and people of the republic of China. It is no longer business as usual in Nigeria. It's about time Nigeria started flexing her powers by punishing multinationals who exploit and flaunt our laws blatantly. Dstv should be next..... By the way.... South Africa seized our alms money at a time of dire need against boko haram for breaking money laws, despite the urgency and lives at stake.

Re: We Nigerians Are Unfair To MTN by streetpres: 11:05am On Nov 01, 2015 |
Princedapeace,MTN came to Nigeria to make profits; if they cannot compete fairly and under the law, then they should pack up and go....but they must pay the fine or let their assets be confiscated. So you know, MTN fought tooth and nail to stop the law which allowed for porting; they were worried that other Telecoms companies would take away their customers since many of the other Telecoms comoanies, such as GLO, had better tarriffs and better quality service. How much was SIM cards when they introduced it? Let them pay the fine NOW! Proudly Nigerian! Not to mention security issues with unregistered sim cards in the possession of a foreign company. |
