You're such a fool, we talking about life here ooo mumu

Funlordmaniac:


Chai! My premier league games? My cartoon network? My cnn? My channels? My mtv? My movie channels? Never! And leave me stuck with pre historic NTA?

Abeg drive mtn and shoprite but leave DSTV!

ThinkSmarter:
Nice move, if the SA authorities re not ready to handle the issue with fairness, seems they are indirectly instigating the xenophobia from their body language.
Shoprite, DStv and MTN Nigeria can easily be bought off by our standby billionaires.
SAs should goto hell.

And the companies will be run same way the Distribution companies are.

MizAijay:
All these selfish self centred lot. If they send away the SA businesses it won't affect them one bit. The poor masses will suffer greatly while they still get paid fat sums by just sitting on their butts and saying 'Ayes' and 'Nays'.
Sending away MTN, DSTV and SHOPRITE won't change much rather it will increase unemployment in a recession striken country. They should figure out another means to fix it. That is why they get paid I suppose.

What do you mean it won't affect them? The South African president HIMSELF came to Nigeria when MTN by the Nigerian government. MTN is a HUGE part of the S.A. economy. They will feel this.

owabor:
Do you know how many Nigerian's that will be jobless? Look before you leap. Cus ur children are not in d country, Is there job in the country when it comes to mass return? Joke Republic

Your brain the work well my dear. Real talk, only matured minds see it this way

bid4rich:



Whats the result of the last dialogue? is it not the same thing that resurfaced? Why ain't their president come out boldly to persecute the perpetrators or condemn the attack. Up till now, Jacob Zuma has not said anything about it nor their house member, It means they are in support of it.

My dear, dialogue isnt going to work this time, we need serious approach for serious issues.

We will survive MTN et al. They are not the best network; they are only widely coverage and other network providers are up to the task.

Before shoprite we are surviving, now that some like it have sprang up. What make you think we will not survive it?

For DSTV, what do they offer? - Dnt wanna talk about it

Even the Bible says "the kingdom of God suffers violence and violence is the only solution to take it by force"

And your Bible quote applies only to you? Why when some South Africans get violent, you're here moaning, when you & your verse are also in support of violence? Riddle me that.

Expel the companies and increase the number of people who are not employed.

They should expel the SA ambassador and issue a travel warning.

Let mtn close down there network nigeria will be sorry, because banks,security,government and other company used it

For the people saying this won't affect S.A. Here's a Bloomberg article on Nigeria's role in MTN alone.

"Nigeria’s telecommunications regulator last week slapped the mobile-phone operator with a $5.2 billion fine, wiping almost 20 percent off its market value over the space of four days. There is a lot at stake for Africa’s largest mobile-phone operator and the government of the continent’s top economy as the following charts, converted to dollars as of Friday’s exchange rates, show.

While Johannesburg-based MTN is in talks with Nigerian authorities over the penalty, imposed for failing to disconnect customers with unregistered SIM cards and having incomplete data, failure to negotiate a lower sanction means the company will be paying away more than double the group’s estimated net income for 2015. It also exceeds sales of almost 54 billion rand ($3.9 billion) that the operator made in Nigeria in 2014, about 37 percent of total revenue."

If MTN is expelled. The company is finished. It cannot survive without Nigeria's revenue, as Nigeria contributes to nearly 40% of the company's revenue. It will quickly turn from a giant into a small company without Nigeria. That is why a small fine alone forced S.A. president to come to Nigeria, they lost 20% of revenue from it. If the Nigerian market is lost, the company will surely die, and it will mark of a large revenue off of its stock exchange contribution to the S.A. economy. We have glo, who will expand and hire more people. We will be fine.

The senate should stop saying rubbish
Expel who
Are those companies not privately owned
Are they the one killing Nigerians

Use diplomatic means
Not trying to do what's not possible

So you would wait to be killed for your family even when there is nothing to dialogue?

Perhaps you just scan through what I posted. I suggest you go back and read in full

They would bribe the senators and they would keep shut... that is what happened the last time.

PS: I would be porting my MTN line to Etisalat tomorrow. I already have a GLO line. MTN has lost me as a customer. I have already switched from DSTV to Startimes in May 2016.

Rubbish

CeoNewshelm:
Nigerian Senate on Tuesday weighed the option of expelling South African companies in Nigeria over xenophobic attacks.


This is coming as Nigerians in South African are at the mercy of various attacks by the citizens who believed that Nigerian citizens have taken over many of their jobs.

Senator Olusola Adeyeye representing Osun Central constituency of Osun State gave the hint during Tuesday's plenary.

I don't understand what you're trying to say in your 1st line. But anyway, your quote says, just to put it loosely, that sometimes violence is necessary to take what you want back, by force (in your domain). Am I right? So what I'm asking is, why is it then an issue when South Africans apply the same logic? I read your entire post but the Bible verse caught my attention since the reason your country wants to expel South African companies is because of violent acts commited by some South Africans against foreign nationals. It just seems contradictory & riddled with double standards. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. It's your country so do as you wish, just as South Africans have also done in theirs

Don't expel DSTV. Simply force them to adopt and implement the pay-per-view policy in Nigeria.

annnikky:

HHmmmmm... So what's ur own suggestion?

first i suggest all nigerians living in south africa shall be immedaitely evacuate and their consulate be closed and their ambassador sent home and all their companies nationalize

or one day the like of togo,benin republic will do the same thing these south africans are doing cause they will feel the nigeria govt do not care about their citizens living abroad

Akaujaa:

How are they doing it now? Just curious.

What stops Nigeria from sending troops to SA?

The developments in S.A. is an act of war.
After all, Trump has our back.

Abi he need a war to start somewhere naa...

**** South African started it all. (I think you know that)
**** When the so called dialogue seems not to be existing, what next? Is there no President in South Africa to condemn the act? Have you read or watch anywhere in the media that they have done so?
**** I think we should call a spade a spade and not a spoon.
**** I am not an advocate of violence but being silent on the critical issue like this especially the one that involve lives and properties, I cant keep quiet on that.

If the government of South Africa think what the citizens are doing is right then nothing is wrong if the country affected also take measures to show displeasure

Thats my take

This shows that the Senate are doing something about the attacks on our brodas and sistas in SA, but is expelling these companies gonna solve anything? won't it lead to massive unemployment back home?

Shameless Nigerian senators and politicians. When south Africans were using their brains to think deep, come up with great business ideas and invest in Nigeria, our useless politicians were busy stealing money and spending it building useless houses and sleeping around with oloshos... now they are talking nonsense about wanting to expel S.A businesses in Nigeria. How many south africans work in MTN, Game, shoprite, multi choice in Nigeria? Expel them and render many youths useless and hopeless. The bas.tard that kept 9million dollars in one dirty house did not use his brain to start a business. They just steal money and keep it somewhere. No common sense at all. May thunder fire all the senators talking nonesnse.

I just like the way you analyzed everything and ended it with"We will be fine" thumbs up bro. like that.

Thats my take

Yes, they started it, but the same logic applies! There have not been "silence" from the South African govt. over this. Your compatriots posted something just a few days ago, with a govt. spokesperson apologising over the recent attacks. Plus the attacks are already a thing of the past to my understanding, so it seems the law did its job. But hey it's your call. Send them packing! More jobs for us!

annnikky:

Meaning

You beauriful it's true

South-africans don't use all those but Nigerians do. Senaticians, use your empty brains!

Elfaris:

If it is true that expelling MTN will render the company useless, why can't anybody or group of persons come up with a company as big as mtn? We know glo is already trying but can't we have an indigenous net work company as big as MTN? With all the billions our bas.tard politicians have stolen, none of them could use their brain to start a huge business to compete with or totally chase out these south African firms

yinkslinks:

Actually MTN, DStv & Shoprite are popular here too, there's just other better alternatives for MTN & Shoprite, but not for DStv. Startimes sucks.
