I think ncc was too harsh on them. Mtn might start sacking workers and hiking their tariff plans. One question I ask myself though. What will happen to that 1.4t trillion. Some greedy battery's will just divert the money to their account

NCC should please take it easy on them ooo

You're a joker.
You'd better port to another network instead of running down your own country. Whose side are you on, anyway?

An interesting analysis of the MTN situation:

NCC was not harsh on MTN at all. All the network operators knew well ahead the penalty for default of SIM card registration. The other three of the big four fearing what the sanctions for default will amount to hurriedly fell in line and met the deadline. The standard is set as a penalty of NGN 200k per unregistered subscriber active on any of the network providers. MTN deliberately held back 5.1 million unregistered subscribers. Ordinarily such SIM cards should have been deactivated and the affected subscribers expected to come and present 'emselves for registration, but I guess 5.1 million subscribers is a tad too difficult for MTN to let go, hence the reason for failure to meet the deadline.

Remember that the NNPC money that was "criminally" held in trust by FirstBank and UBA was so much that those banks must have though: "damn, this is cool untraceable cash about to leave our purses, so let's just keep it". They got fined 5% of the money amounting to 5 billion and 1 billion naira respectively.

Now to your next question: MTN doesn't have to necessarily fire staffs except they try to be vindictive. Neither will they hike tariffs. This is because there I already competing providers out there. They other big three will be willing to welcome subscribers from MTN who wishes to decamp for attractive tariffs, hence increase in revenue and new employments for "laid off" MTN workers and staff strength for those providers.

And to your third question: This money is not going into anyone's pocket. Things have changed and every penny generated is being accounted for.

Finally, it's high time Nigeria moved from significant reliance on crude oil to forms of revenue generation like corporate taxation as the UK does (like what is happening to MTN, FirstBank et al) and also introduce/increase VAT. Then use part of these ready made revenues to build every other sectors of revenue generation eg. Transportation, mining and industry (South Africa and China), agriculture (Malaysia), tourism (Dubai) etcetera etcetera.

ernesty20:
not really


the thing is that whenever i load 1500 airtel for my fresh 2gb, they will give me bonus of 1500.

They will divide it for me jejelly. 750 will go to weekly bonus while 750 will go to weekend bonus.

Thats why i always defend my airtel whenever some people are talking trash about them

it is actually 3gb for 1500

The most intelligent response so far, other nairaland responders should take note and not bore us with unintelligent remarks.
