MTN was a signatory to the sim card regulation deadline, yet it broke the rule.

*In mama peace' voice*

WHO DEY FOOL WHO

Misterlaby:
I kinda feel pity for mtn but rules are rules and they already knew all that

200k per Sim on an unduly registered Sim on the network..

And since they have 5.1million cases of that...

Do the math

Yello network pay up jor

magaliyu:
They should have thought about this when they collaborate with some Nigerians in there shady weapon deal,economic monopoly and emperialism of Dstv and Mtn,thank God startime and globacom are onboard the day of reconning is here.
Sorry no offence,is not protectionism is call self defence.

I have been away from this forum for a minute,but I just can't take the foolishness of nigerian youth anymore. For all of you asking for the head of MTN,I hope buhari doesn't foolishly listen to yo all.how can you charge a 1 trillion dollars fine,for what! It is alarming that NCC would slam such a ridiculous amount on MtN,in other words they are educating the masses on how to reap where you have not sown.
As a disclaimer,I am Nigerian,I have never owned an MTN line and I do not work in telecoms . NCC are a bunch of jokers,MTN wild be extremely foolish to pay this fine and Nigeria will be far too myopic to endorse the collective death of enterprise. The joker called Mugabe seized land belonging to white Rhodesians for generations when he had nothing else to offer after years of kleptocracy,but with the redistribution ,where is Zimbabwe today? Didn't Venezuela nationalize the oil companies,where are they today? The foolish guy that started their headache is dead and gone but the people s till dey suffer.
What could be more moribund than Nitel and you people are hoping SA wild abandon their sweat so like Nigerians do,u can joyfully eat a meal prepared by another.afterall we hear stories everyday of hardworking men dying only for their loved ones to be rendered incapacitated by hawk eyed scavengers that call themselves brothers of the deceased.
Even if they gave you a trillion dollars!you would squander it without the ability to work hard,develop infrastructure and plan for the future.i hope MTN leaves so you can understand what a tsunami of economic disasters feel like.Apart from GT bank,I seriously want to be educated about how many globally acclaimed brands have emanated from Nigeria. What a shame,but post arpatheid,the South Africans are still schooling us. Just tell me the worthy replacement of dstv ,I laugh at the level of economic ignorance exhibited here by supposedly well educated but in my own opinion broader picture bankrupt Nigerians.

Can the government or any other company run it the way the ran it, mmmhhh. wait for it to collapse with 12 months. Mtn shares expertise and brings it to nigeria.

Nigeria has the highest number of !diots in her population, I know this for a fact without any statistics, just see how they drive on the road you wont be marveled at the level of !diocy inherent in most of them.
MTN should go then what happens to their staff, will NCC absorb them? what happens to indirect employment viz running cost, service contractors etc?
These are the same !diots looking for jobs, they quickly forgot that MTN has thousands of base stations equipped with Generators and transformers serviced and maintained by companies that can employ them.
Rules are rules but when you want to mete out sanctions you do a comprehensive assessment of the situation, no doubt MTN should be fined but $5.2b? that's insane, it may make sense in developed economies but not Nigeria struggling with acute unemployment.
NCC chairman deserves to be fired!!

No need worrying, Nigeria is an amusement park where everything is possible if you knw your way.

ValerianSteel:
Can they stop singing reggae blues already.

Pay the fine cause this is a new Nigeria,there's no bribing or conniving your way out of this,they can't even go to court,)that would make their case worse.

MTN had better acted responsible enough and pay up these fine cause if it were customers owing MTN,they'd find a way to collect the money in double.

Michaelgates:

If I start with you,u go fear ooo.There are people who regurgitate information without having the capacity to analyse and link different events.it is so easy to tell you do not have a clue about international events mentioning us,vw and MTN nigeria.
I don't want to waste coordinated eye hand activity on someone who would obviously not get it.I realize you will get what I just insinuated on the 10th of November.So wallow in ur obvious ignorance.

The Yorubas have a question they would ask in a situation like this, ' ki lagbe,ki le ju?' .it could also be likened to killing a sugar ant witha sledge hammer. Takata a Japanese airbag manufacturer has been embattled for months and a massive recall of cars with their airbags was mandated. Some people even come congress come testify say takata a dey culpable following injury or death sustained following accidents.Now the lives of U.S. citizens are involved here and the recall is like 16 million vehicles,how much dem fine dem?
Vw for a few years was the highest selling car manufacturer in the world and to operate in certain markets,your technology ought to meet a minimum benchmark.quite frankly vw lied that their diesel vehicles were more environmentally friendly than they actually are.Let me school you a bit, Germany is more technologically advanced than the U.S. and they practically control the European union.germany will not take kindly to any product falling beneath e.u standards cos that is just who they are. Several items are banned annually for failing to meet european standards such as beef,toys etc
How many Americans dey drive diesel sedans?so why is the vw penalty so plenty? The U.S. discovered a window of opportunity in their protectionist agenda. Americans despite the Gms ,Ford and Chryslers are choosing to buy Mercedes,Bmws ,and Vws which include Audis and Porsches. All these vehicles are German and superior to their American contemporaries. Do you think for the life of you that if Chrysler was the offending brand that you would hear all this noise? Naaaaaaa !

The U.S. is a huge country with several states more advanced than most countries. What you see on CNN is just the tipof the iceberg with the deep workings of government oblivious to most people. There are a group of people in Washington known as lobbyists ,some of them earning more than the u.s president and their only work is to push the agenda of whatever interest group it is they represent. Every few months a school shooting takes place in America the great,yet dem no ban guns, why ? Some Eco obsessed billionaires secretly fund the worst of the lobbyists known as environmental lobbyist and they no dey gree at all. I personally with a lot of people in the us believe the environmental agenda is way over rated but these people have managed to make it a front burner issue.That is why way before all the penalties were announced, British petroleum jejely started selling assets and telling their shareholders that the Gulf of Mexico disaster had put the company on a very long ting that they have since not recovered from.
Contrast that with Nigeria,no enabling business environment,ad hoc ever evolving business policies. What do we stand for as a people,how have we helped MTN make the billions that they make? Which infrastructure dem meet for ground,power you no give dem,security no dey,many base station operatives were kidnapped in the restive Niger delta those days and we all keep shouting South Africa.
Wetin South Africa do una? Naa crime to get senior brother?
