Uganda’s Commercial court has ordered MTN Uganda to pay a sum of Shs 2.3bn (about $662,000) which is about N190 million in damages to EzeeMoney Limited for sabotaging its business. It all started when EzeeMoney, which runs an e-money business, obtained a contract from MTN for the provision of digital transmission [E1] and 30 fixed telephone lines to carry out its mobile money business. After agreeing to the terms of the contract, EzeeMoney then contracted Yo! Uganda Limited (YUL) to implement the service after Uganda Communications Commission, the regulator, approved it on December 2012, to use the 7711 short code to enable its customers to subscribe for e-money services. However in 2013, MTN after doing a review of the contract, canceled it, saying EzeeMoney was a direct competitor to its mobile money business. Through AF Mpanga and company advocates, EzeeMoney went to court, saying MTN’s action “restricted and distorted competition.” EzeeMoney said MTN also damaged its ties with YUL and deprived it of services of other telecommunications operators. It argued that MTN used its exclusivity agreements to stop its agents from working for any other firm with similar business, further limiting competition. Delivering judgement in a suit filed by Ezeemoney limited on November 6th, the presiding judge, Justice Henry Peter Adonyo ordered MTN to stop acting in an unlawful and anti-competitive manner, which denies other businesses an opportunity to prosper. Justice Adonyo said MTN should pay Shs 800m to EzeeMoney in general damages for loss of business. He also directed the telecommunications company to pay a penalty of Shs 1.5bn in punitive damages to deter not only MTN but also warn other companies against uncompetitive business tactics. http://www.scoop.ng/2015/11/mtn-uganda-fined-662-000-for-sabotaging-business.html/

mapet:Don't defend what you are not sure about...the line 'an official.....condition of anonymity' is use by ALL print media in Nigeria, that is not a valid reason to claim the news is fake. |
mapet:Indications have emerged debunking recent media reports that former President Goodluck Jonathan was responsible for signing the contract with SystemSpecs, the owners of Remita software, which is currently being used for the implementation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s proposed Treasury Single Account (TSA) The media reports comes on the heels of revelations that at least N25 billion have been paid to SystemSpecs, amounting to 1% of all monies remitted to the TSA. According to investigations by the Hope For Nigeria group, Mallam Umar Sani, the former Senior Special Adviser to former Vice President Namadi Sambo availed that the immediate past government never signed any agreement with SystemSpec. He said: “The government as at that time began the implementation of TSA through the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), a World Bank assisted Project domiciled in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation and it is through GIFMIS that all government Budget (Personnel, Overhead, Capital, Transfers etc) transactions are carried out, so why do they need Remitta? “I can categorically tell you that it is the new Accountant General, Mallam Ahmed Idris, that put forward the Remitta proposal, but some other Directors led by the Director, Funds (Dikwa) vehemently opposed it on the grounds that government cannot have more than one payment platform and instead of using Remita to implement TSA, GIFMIS should be used”. Also speaking on the issue, an official at the Federal Ministry of Finance who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the “outrageous” agreement with SystemSpec on the use of REMITA software as a payment platform has nothing to do former President Goodluck Jonathan, as they did not sign any agreement. Also speaking to the group on Friday, November 13, 2015, an official of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) availed that the apex bank has its own bespoke software for e-Payments and e-Collections, adding that there is no need for the use of REMITA.

mapet:[size=14pt]Last time I checked this discussion is about why the government should spend a huge amount of money as commission when they can spend less of that amount in purchasing a similar Software. So, let me ask you, do you support the government to continue paying commission for eternity or they should just buy one?[/size] |

Don4life:[size=14pt]To all Chelsea fans, Don't mind this mumu...Mourinho still remain the most successful coach of all the coaches currently coaching in the English premier league...if you like hug transformer or add cement to your garri if you still hate him. Asene Wenger still remains a specialist in failure until he wins the cover of the champions league cup. Chelsea still remains the defending champions of the premiership until the end of the season. We fall together to rise up. [/size] |
Not always about the money...go for glory, a good name is far better than gold and silver. |
Intel’s Chief Systems Technologist Ajay Bhatt created the USB technology. The USB — which turns 20 years old on Sunday — is now used in more than 10 billion devices worldwide. But the man who invented the technology hasn’t made a single cent from it — and he’s OK with it. “I don’t do these things for money,” Ajay Bhatt, Intel’s Chief Systems Technologist, who’s largely responsible for inventing the USB technology, told Business Insider. “I did this to bring about change, and it’s not very often that somebody gets a chance to bring about this big a change.” In fact, the USB technology didn’t make money for anyone. It’s because Intel, who owns all patents to the technology as the first backer of Bhatt’s USB idea, decided to make it open and royalty free from the beginning. And Intel had every right to do so, Bhatt believes. The USB is now considered the de facto standard for connecting different devices, but it was met with a lukewarm response when Bhatt first pitched the idea to tech companies, including Apple and Microsoft, in the early ’90s. One connector to rule them all It was a smart idea, basically creating a single connector that bypassed the need for a separate floppy disk or driver to install each application. But companies had an inherent fear of breaking the existing compatibility functions, Bhatt said, and only Intel — the company he was working for at the time — was bold enough to make the investment in his idea. “As an engineer, I’ve been handsomely rewarded by the company,” Bhatt added. “And I couldn’t do this kind of work anywhere else. I have nothing to complain.” Although Intel first backed the idea and began to build support for it into its chips, it was Apple that first shipped a USB compatible product for end users — the iMac G3 in August 1998. Soon, Microsoft followed suit when it provided USB support for Windows 98’s second edition, and the rest is history. Bhatt may have missed out on a chance to make hundreds of millions of dollars on this, but he believes his contribution to the overall computer industry is what makes up for it. The basic premise was to make the PC easier for regular users, and expand the overall PC market, and the USB certainly helped the cause. “If computers are seen to be easy, then we’ll sell more computers, and as part of that, we’ll sell more chips. It’s a much bigger picture that Intel saw,” Bhatt said. “As the pie gets bigger, we get a piece of the pie, and we’re happy with it.” The next frontier So is there ever going to be another technology that becomes as ubiquitous as the USB? Bhatt thinks he found one: the stylus. Bhatt is currently working with 35 companies to create a standard for stylus pens, so they could all work under one universal technology. That means an Apple stylus pen could be used in a Microsoft Surface, and vice versa, if his vision is realised. “We are defining a standard to make the stylus more ubiquitous, more responsive, and address the entire handwriting experience,” Bhatt said. “It’s the next frontier.” Whether all the competing companies agree on the need for a common stylus is another matter.

TheGoodJoe:[size=13pt]Look we all know money get missing in every Ministry in Nigeria...Anybody can come out and reveal to the public that 70 billion dollars in missing in NITEL when we all know if their account is audited we will discovered atleast one third of that amount will be missing considering the persived corruption rocking NITEL and other ministries, NNPC is not an exception...i promise you that if the present administration decides to audit the CBN account during Mallam Sanusi tenure we will see how much get missing under his watch. It just pains me why politicians see some people as gullable and they proof to them even with their level of education that they are really gullable, including you...sorry but that's just the truth.[/size] |

obailala:[b][size=13pt]Since you claim nobody knows the exert figure missing...abeg how did Mallam Sanusi now arrived to the fact that money is missing?...was he acting on hear say or he actually saw the money get missing? If it is by hear say then his admition that money got missing cannot be trusted, if he actually saw the money get missing then why is he confused as to the actual figure?

obailala:[size=13pt]How do you expect Intelligent Nigerians to believe a Mallam that keeps changing the figures from 49billion to 10billion and 20billion then 9billion and now to 1.4billion? Abeg is this Mallam confused? Only fools will believe a confused man...ask yourself this question: if PWC with there report now came up with 1.9billion missing which Deizani admitted was due to some descripancies which we all know is common in accounting whether in private or government...where did that Mallam get that bugos figure of 49billion initially? Why would an Intelligent person take this man seriously? There is definitely no smoke without fire...it is clear he is all out to smear the name of Deizani and Jonathan, but that same Allah that he calls will strick him soon for blasphemy. [/size] |
