Ncc is unfair to mtn

MTN partly funds 9ja 2016 budget. Thanks to PMB

Nice news I guess... cos I've got like 10 Mtn Sims not properly registered and they all have data

Good day gentlemen. Please has anyone noticed that MTN has been taking money from our loaded balances? It happened to me and I will follow it up. I loaded N5000 on my phone. I made one phone call of about minutes to a local number. I slept and woke up and when I opened my bed side drawers, I found an loaded card which I forgot some time ago. Before loading it, I checked my balance and I had only 7350 credit. I have heard people complain about these illegal debits. Pls let's raise our voice and something about this. Few people check their balances and MTN will get away with this. They are doing this in order to pay for the penalty.

My MTN is no more browsing for 3 days now. They have started misbehaving. I think the money is too small sef

Hahaahahaha you have a comedic skill boss... But wetin carry Jona for this matter? Which one be Chibok girls again? Them be mtn kids?

All join.

TonyeBarcanista:
Haha, you make sense oga but.. You didn't factor operation cost, maintainace of their facilities, wages and salaries, security, kick-backs that officials demand etc. Then we move to posting profit for shareholders and surviving in the market under a hard Nigerian environment. Boss, give MTN 10years and they won't be able to pay. We are talking of $5billion here o.

Boss if you actually read meaning into my comment then you will know that no other thing will be affected except share dividend slightly since the fine is not to be paid once. And the fear of paying once was responsible for the crashing of SA stock exchange last week since MTN's operation in Nigeria is responsible for their profile boosting in SA and across other African countries. So they cant afford to loss their operation licence even though Nigeria too will greatly be affected by such a withdrawal.
Have you ever wonder why the increasing ambassadorial/celebrity sponsorship contract and the huge amount paid them by this telecom companies when almost all adult Nigerians have atleast one SIM card already.

..The only thing that will make most nigerians happy is to see the mighty fall of this network i don't care if i loose my line when they are done with paying.

They took ma NGN150 way i jst dey manage on saturday for no good reason.Don't feel sorry for them cos they've been scamming nigerians since 1960.

let them start paying up.When people complain ov this network in the phones forum i'll be wondering why they h8 them so much.

i dont even care if NCC steals the 1.4 trn,which dey will definitely do tho.

Once beaten, twice shy.

Find a way to stop them from stealing from you. Me i don master my art.

razid:
At least the government said they need $25billion for infrastructure. They have gotten a cool $5billion without sweating. If to say we fit get that $20billion wey Sanusi say e dey miss, the money for just complete gbam.

Straight to the point. Lol.

The worst thing that can happen to a man is that, he has money but does not use it well. Hope this 1 trillion builds many roads in Nigeria Julius berger grade.

Yes they do. Borrow credit and make your calls. Then recharge to pay them.

Thats the only way out. You could still get a bonus on recharging.

While pleading for staggered payment model, MTN has finally bowed to pressure as it has accepted to pay the N1.04 trillion fine slammed on it last week by the telecoms regulatory authority, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

Accordingly, the telecoms operator was fine for violating its directive on SIM deactivation.

This follows series of meeting held between MTN management team from South Africa and Nigeria with the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

The telecoms operator which has largest subscriber base in Nigeria, it was gathered, may have agreed to pay the fine to sustain the interest of its telecoms business.

Industry sources who confirmed the new arrangement, disclosed that the federal government is already yielding to the plea, which according to him, was part of the agreement reached at the series of meeting held at the weekend in Nigeria.

“There have been series of meeting at the Presidency between the Vice President Osinbajo and MTN team both from South Africa and the Nigerian arm. MTN wanted a waiver considering their level of investments in the country, but government did not buy the idea of waiver. Instead, I think there will be concession, but certainly not a waiver. At the conclusion of the meeting, the MTN people negotiated on how to stagger the payment. The Presidency is even angry because MTN was a signatory to the regulation, but they are failing to comply with rules.”, the source added.

It would be recalled that NCC had said that MTN would not escape the fine, owing to the enormity of its implication to national security.

Although NCC had hinted that the issue is being handled by the federal government, the telecoms authority also noted that MTN would risk withdrawal of its licence if its fails to comply with the fine.

Even with the widespread calls for the intervention of the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), on the N1.04 trillion fine, Chief Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), had last week called on the NSA not to intervene in the matter, adding that NCC regulation must take its course.

NCC said it had consistently engaged Mobile Network Operators, (MNOs) to strictly adhere to the regulations and its business rules in the registration of their subscribers.

Following several engagements, the Commission had confirmed various cases of violations of the regulations and sanctioned appropriately.

I love this news men!we are now in a no nonsense era. A repercussion of all the the injustices being done to Nigerians owing to the corrupt practices of the former administrations.Up President Muhammadu Buhari, a non onsense man

Sleekyshuga:
Indeed a wishful thinking .. This will pass as a note of warning to other network providers.. Most of the shits they do here cannot be tolerated in SA, though I see a massive retrenchment of over 50%..
NCC should peddle down, and agree to a spread payment..

#1.04tr is a generation changer..

Lol @ "Generation changer"

What boggles my mind is that they knew they had a deadline cos they were forewarned but chose to not follow orders. Maybe they thought they thought they could bribe their way through this one UNTIL it became public knowledge!

Even if they end up paying a quarter of that amount, it'll still be substantial and as you said a befitting deterrent for future offenders.

Gabbysky:
I think that MTN will take its revenge on any staff (permanent or contract) that supports the apc.
They would have penned down names of many Yoruba and Hausa guys already in their company that would be sacked after this.
MTN should look inward, this could be pure sabotage from some certain people, to make a competitor owned by someone from from a certain tribe in Nigeria to grow or chase out MTN from the country.
But again, what the f**k do I know?
I am just a wailer

Glo with their poor services. Dropped calls. Uneven call rates, cheap today, costly tomorrow.. When you load large amounts like N500 and N1,000 vouchers, they debit it mercilessly by morning next day. Smh..

MTN is still the best network. Thats why everyone talks about them..

akpobi:

Borrow credit and talk. Later buy and recharge to pay them. They got nothing to debit.
