Can MTN just pay this fine and be done with it, Jacob Zuma will not help you guys.

ABUJA – President Mohammadu Buhari has said that 10,000 lives of Nigerians were lost due to the delay in the registration of sim cards by MTN.

Buhari who spoke in a joint press conference with the visiting South African president, Mr. Jacob Zuma at the presidential villa, Abuja was giving reason why the Nigeria National Communication NCC, fined the network provider.

He said that this would be his first time to speak on the issue as the president of Nigeria.

He said that the concern of Nigeria was basically on the security of lives and property of the people in the midst of terrorism.

He also hinted that the court action by MTN slowed the intervention of the government as it could not have interfered on the matter before the court.

He said: “This is the first time I will personally as a president be making a public comment about it. The concern of the federal government is basically on the security and not the fine imposed on MTN. You know how the unregistered GSM are being used by terrorists.

“And between 2009 and today, at least 10,000 Nigerians were killed by Boko Haram. That was why NCC asked MTN, Glo and the rest of them to register GSM.
Unfortunately, MTN was very, very slow and contributed to the casualties”.

MTN’s reluctance to register SIM cards caused 10,000 lives – Buhari

Buhari is indefatigable in his effort to providing infinite controversial thesis to Wailers to wail on to the extent that Zombies are tired and intricated of vindicating him.
Like someone rightly said: “Buhari's govt is an opposition to itself”.

You guys should be reasonable for once. Under which Government is MTN operating? You have a President that is bold enough by slamming a huge amount on MTN and could boldly tell South African President MTN's offence. Buhari should be commended and Jonathan should apologies for his carelessness.

' You guys'?
So, who are you fighting?

Perhaps I'm in the sparring corner with you or PMB maybe...

Oh

Typing

Nonsense

Mtn is a criminal company. Somebody tell those greedy f-cks to stop sending me all those messages selling dumb products,otherwise I switch from their criminal network.

Akainzo:
The hypocrisy in Nigeria will not end. Wasn't it president
Buhari who couldn't pay the 27m naira presidential ticket fee
that is saying his children study abroad because he can
afford it?
Now he is blaming Mtn for his own incompetence.
shior......This Government is full of lies and hypocrisy

You really do have a poor man's mentality. There abound many pepper sellers in Lagos and across the country sending their kids abroad to school.

One doesn't have to be a millionaire to send kids to school abroad, it's a matter of priority.

BTW, the President only adduced reasons why MTN's actions which necessitated the fine contributed to the insurgency, he wasn't blaming them for the insurgency.

Plain English pls, not parable.

I'll like to know the interpolation and therefore the extrapolation between MTN sims and the core indigenes of Maiduguri, who might not have seen a mast before

The president is talking

Yes, blame all of them...


They don't know what their inaction has indirectly caused



Mtn has plenty mast in my area so that is why NEPA/PHCN has refused to make power constant so that Mtn will not dry the dam with their overload


Mtn is also responsible for $1 = #320


Blame them Baba, blame them well well

Chai, when will this blame game end... It is well.....

Jonathan should apologise for what Se eleyi gbadun sha

Humm..... no wonder NCC fined them so large like that, I was wondering that the fine was much but now I know that the fine is even not large enof

So all those MEDIA AIDS surrounding Mr. President couldn't prepare him well before today's public appearance?
Why didn't they teach him the difference between GSM and SIM card?
There he stood before Jacob Zuma and said "unregistered GSM are being used by terrorists"

You don't register GSM, you register SIM card.
Haba!

Unregistered sims the cause of 10,000 deaths?! That's a long stretch of reasoning.

Realy ? Xo na mtn b thier sponsor ki...?

Scape goating is far from the Solution. Even mtn deactivate all their subscribers boko haram would av Bombed, they might even bomb more.

truth!

Na wa o

What are we going to do with the fine? Make una nor share am oooo.

Yes, Buhari should be commended for this too:
