What about NEPA, who will fine them for ripping Nigerians off from time immemorial.

We still buy fuel even at N200 to N250 per litre, (oil producing country indeed, in Late Fela voice "suffering and smiling", we buy generator, service the generator, buy inverters, buy the batteries, pay for installation, buy solar too and install it. We still pay NEPA bills....what a country? Hypocrisy everywhere.

People pay for services not rendered and the citizens are compelled to pay, either on postpaid or prepaid platform. NEPA make billions monthly and the money ends partly in private hands. Same with the old Nitel.....or are they SA companies too?

We are sending wrong signals to the international bodies,potential foreign investors and world at large. Nigeria is over 55 years and grossly undeveloped. So Nigerians alone cannot develop Nigeria, we need other people just as they need us. You can fine, nobody is saying you can't, but not this huge amount?

Even America, I mean America has alot of China investments in their country. They never fine them $1b, with all their infrastructures o, like constant light, good roads, security, friendly government policies, no community issues o, like Omonile while building a base station, or a customer touch points, no area boys, no multiple taxation,etc. Doing business in Nigeria is not that easy, coupled with all the issues on ground before. It is easy to stay in the comfort of your room and on your laptop and criticise others.

The same Nigerians will ignore the calls or sms to go and register their lines. Nobody blames NCC for that.

See what happened in BVN recently, most people refused to comply till last minute,. Why has CBN not fined the banks that defaulted in blocking people accounts? Or are fraudsters, kidnappers, looters of national treasury etc using banks in the moon and sky?
They use our banks, the same banks like everyone.
A popular new generation bank sent emails to all their customers today on BVN, both those that have registered and those who have not.



Where is all the refunded Abacha loot? Nigerians should be asking questions on these things.

Even if you give Nigeria government $10b today, 97% or more of the money will end in private individuals account. So most people are happy about the fine, like they share out of it. Kobo, you won't see.

Where is all the Internally Generated Revenues (IGR) going into both for states and federal?

The biggest problem in Nigeria is Nigerians.Until we change our mindset, no "change" will take place.





MTN remains the best network, not only in Nigeria but across Africa. Take it or leave it. Put sentiments aside and just be objective.



So the other networks are saints? Story.

dem wan use MTN money run nigeria

This is kwarrupsion

Sad, MTN is a network I dislike, and it is their dishonesty that brought about this very fine.

If they had obeyed instructions like others, they wont have got this issue.

Sad that their large customer base does not still give them that spirit to offer their subscribers superior services, or to tame their insatiable greed.

rman:
Yes, TSA is government money held by banks to do business. Government is asking for her money back. In MTNs case, it is money belonging to a business.

Bros, with all due respect, what u just explained is not the definition of a FINE.

What MTN, FBN and UBA were slammed with is a fine for flouting one regulation/directive or another QED.

Make una nor reduce d fine make una increase am for all my credit wey dem don thief and my MB wey dey wipe d fine nor even reach

I tire for the matter o.

My concerns are even if you fine someone $10b, what will our government do with the money? Few ogas at the top will share it, yet some are happy as if they share kobo out of it.
