gulfer: Occupy MTN, CNSSL i gathered belongs to one of the big shots in MTN (the yellow man); cant really place his names now (Dozie or something), The fraud that is contract service should be stopped.

Na so Naija people like to dey tell lies... The company is owned by Engr Adebayo and it says so on their website - http://www.cnsslccl.net/?p=about. Until you have facts to prove it stop telling lies!

Outsourcing is a general practice, but I always thought contract staff should be paid better than regular staff, since they do not have benefits such as housing, health, etc. We need to confirm how much MTN gives them. Is it really 180,000? I doubt it.

Anybody who works in the Jos Call centre should place a post and confirm/deny these rumours.

In all things, I think we should be patient and wait for the other parties to state their case before jumping to conclusions.

I have read stories about Jos call centre staff not receiving what other MTN contract staff are earning, and I wonder if it is the same company(CNSSL) that recruited all of them.

I bought the MTN Lyte, na chinco phone, without no value. You can't even log on to facebook or get 2go working on it. It as a memory card slot and radio, that all it does.
MTN is a scammer!!! Be informed

@dorothy, how much is that phone? Is it not the 3000 naira own? In this day and age, you bought a 3000 naira phone with memory card and radio, and yet you are complaining that it does not have value? HABA! I bought the phone for my little cousin, and she is a 2go champion! Maybe it is where you are located.

Reading all these comments make me wonder o... It just sounds like unnecessary beef, except for Prince Paris, who spoke the truth about the MTN advert(which quite frankly does not say anything). They should go and learn from phone makers like Nokia who list all the features!

People, even if it is MTN,let us try and be realistic and reasonable. If you have seen another 3000 naira phone that offers all that the MTN lyte phone offers, please tell us or just hold your peace!

Reading all the comments here really make me smh... Someone says Dangote is on the stock exchange... DID THEY FORCE HIM?
We like to reap where we did not sow. Eriko says they should indigenise them and sell their shares to locals... forgetting that there are already Nigerians who own shares of MTN... These Nigerians decided to partner with South Africans and invest in an industry where other rich Nigerians were afraid to invest in.
If they had failed, no one will agree to share the loss with them. It is now that they have become successful, you think the best thing to do is to force them to share their profit with you. And all4naija has the nerve to call them greedy!


We forget so easily. This is a company that came to invest billions in an industry that many Nigerians were afraid to invest. I remember one email that used to go round saying that UBA and Zenith bank did not want to borrow them money because they thought MTN will collapse.


Look at Econet/Vodacom/Celtel/Zain/now Airtel. It is because of the plenty profit they were making that the greedy Lagos, Delta and Akwa Ibom govts and other Nigerians chased away the Zimbabweans from a business that they supported with lots of cash. Since then, has the company remained the same? Everyday, new owners, and yet they are not stable. Glo overtook them to become number 2, Econet is still chasing them in court, and I think they will only become stable when the states sell their shares. That is what happens when govt gets involved in private business... everything scatter scatter!

Bros, I am learning from you, but I honestly dont understand or agree with all this grammar o,

How will listing a company on the stock exchange be in the interest of security of the country? What is my business with global security analysis and alert? You sound like a stockbroker! Make it simple!

If stock exchange is a network that defines the operations of the market economy of a country, how does that affect a private business such as uchesco and sons who is only interested in making profit?

Simply put, your explanation sounds like telling a business man to do something that will not be profitable to him(and his investors)but will be beneficial to the elite of the country.(because the poor will not benefit from this)

Yes, MTN is listed on the JSE, so is Shell, Etisalat and others. However, THEY WERE NOT FORCED TO DO SO. That is the bottom line.

Why would a government want to force them to do something they are not ready for or willing to do, for which they will not benefit from, for which the overall Nigerian public will also not benefit from, all in the name of security? Which security?

Abegi, if they want to privatise, let them start by privatising NITEL and PHCN and listing it on the Stock Exchange! At least we can buy shares there

It has been done in other parts of the world, why not here? Because they are not profitable. It is greed, I tell you, just greed!

Make I go eat, hungry dey catch me
