If MTN, DSTV, Gotv, Stanbic, Shoprite halt all outlets in Nigeria, over 10 million Nigerians would be rendered jobless and useless.



Nigerians should stop destroying people when they have no better alternative. Think about the number of football viewing centres. The number of Chelsea, Arsenal fans that would die of heart attack, the number of Shoprite workers and affiliates.



We simply can't do anything order than empty noise online. We have more Nigerians living in South Africa than S.As living in Nigeria.

We are just bunch of lousy buffalos who have nothing to offer than extorting monies. Why can't you all go to S.A and make or build another MTN? What stops GLO from investing in S.A?


We need to bury our heads in the saw dust of shame. Shameless citizens.

So government should allow them to do anything they like because they employ Nigerians? Can they do that in other countries? Your type will justify enslavery of Nigerians by Chiness factories. You talk as if their companies are charity . Early this year , DSTV increased subscriltion against court ruling, they must obey the law.

Salmoneus:


PDP screwed this country up for 9 years and you expect it to be fixed in 6 months?

It will take a longer time to fix what buhari did to the economy in his six months of inaction than to fix what ever you people claim pdp did. Before Buhari was born has been the adage " A wrong decision is better than non."

Even SA government have told MTN to go respect they law of their host nation. To all these waivers,no nation will tolerate this blatant disregard for their law. Do you know how many NIgerians lost their life as a result of these none compliance. Unregistered SIM emboldened terrorist to carry out bombing without being traced.
British petroleum BP has to pay America $20 billion for braking the law,why should NIgeria always be the dumping ground? We can only beg FG to accept staggered payment of the money,anything less is supporting willful violation of our laws.

I have no issues with fines and sanctions. MTN has to obey the laws of the land, but why are we over-flogging this issue. We all seem interested in the matter (recharge card money) including the Vice President.

Should we even be waiting for MTN to revive the dying economy? What's the motive behind the fine? To revive the economy? is that not a shameless matter?

I read jealousy on every letter! You are comparing MTN with Chinese companies? Even the chinese companies, if Nigeria has enough and better jobs for us would any take their jobs. Thousands of families are feeding because of those companies!

Let me start by asking sen ben bruce whether he has put into consideration what mtn unregistered sim must have cost us(terrorist n kidnappers alike)and someone Is crying wolf here.can mtn try that kind of shit in developed countries_hell no.well new sheriff is in town that's d good news

They must pay because if it in south Africa too they will not allow it

see as govt. take serious with this fine! how I wish they were serious like this with the establishment laying off their citizens!

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.

No need worry, at least other companies are not caught doing fraudulent transactions for now.so no need worry. However next time you SA guys will learn to respect diplomatic agreement and bilateral relation moreso be accommodating cos some countries accommodated you guys

all naija celebrity make una help them pay part .abi all the million wey them dey collect .if them go na them go lose. MTN but sha pay

I remember when the South African government seized millions of dollars which our Federal Government wanted to use to buy arms and ammunition aboard Pastor Oritsejafor's Jet. Look at the speed at which our money was seized.






Now it's payback. And Payback is a bittch.

We flouted their rules; and we payed for it. Now, it's their turn....

Like my bro knew what was about to happen!!!! Seriously this shoprite of a thing is really getting out of hands, they just wanna tAke over everything, the worst is the money ain't staying in Nigeria ßϋн̣̣̇̇ south.A which doesn't help our economy, the earlier we act the berra for our nation, it's time to close down those nonsense money sucking shoperite and open ours, let's take care of our nation not server other countries, government should build shopping malls for every state, and as for MTN well no word for you guys shaa.... Handle your biz

xenophobic.u first started it.enough!mtn has sucked us dry.this is d time to pay back but d consequence is retrenchment of their innocent workers.

cirmuell:
Well, not anymore.

Time shall tell

permsec:
Let them go! we will establish our own local shoprite et al. One way to improve the economy but it seems it will scare investors away sha

Why didn't you establish your own before shoprite came in?

Easier for the Government to blame MTN for its security challenges and fine them .Does nigerian government has data for its all its citizens ? Has it issued national identity Card to all its citizens,

MTN, DSTV & others should always do the needful,..God bless naija,..my dream & prayer is to see all nation turns to christian believe faith of God so as peace can reign.

Thats the end of any SA investment to Nigeria. Lets hope China will come and fill up the gaps.

Nigerians and their love for quick money. Your economy is failing in the midst of over 30 mineral resources and all you all can think about is MTN recharge card money. Same money you all will indirectly pay back to the company.

you are very wrong in your reasoning. what we are saying is that MTN break the law and they are fully aware of the consequences. So they must pay, there is no sentiment in the rule of land. Get that

oz4real83:
Shame on u for supporting the excesses of another nation against urs!!! I expected us to stand together in this kind of situation. Mtn has been raping Nigerians for so long. They don't care about our rules even when they were signatory to some of the agreements. Even when we don't communicate they still charge us as long as we have dialled a number!!! Our data subscription still expires even when we don't use it. They bill us for services we don't even request for. Our companies in South Africa can never blantantly break their laws over there as they are doing here!!! The case of the seized 15million dollars is still very fresh in our memory. I stand with NCC all the way in this situation. If u can't do the time don't do the crime!!!

Your govt don't provide power supply to run their biz.

PUSH1:
MTN should sell their facilities in Nigeria and move out if they are not ready.

Other investors are willing to buy and comply with the rules.

Thanks for Change.

Thats whats gonna happen in a longer run, they might sell 60% of their nigerian assets, than to risk loosing South african workers pension money. I dont see MTN sticking around for more than 5yrs.

olutunde12:



Before you begin to act fast out of jealousy, think about the number of Nigerins who have provitable jobs with that company nd others like it from SA. Ipa n pa ara e, o ni oun pa aja.

Who says the Companies will close down, they will leave and the government of Nigeria will nationalize it as well as resell it to Nigerians examples of such cases are union Bank, first Bank etc

So na South Africa get Stanbic bank? Make this people no carry my moni run one day o. What should I do now(thinking)

The management of MTN Nigeria is not South africans, so is the management of DStv, they are nigerians, so dont blame South africans for disobeying the order.

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

[size=18pt]You made my day abegi....[/size]

an epic truth

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 million cases of that...

Do the math

Yello network pay up jor

It's 280k per sim when considering 5 M users

baba11:

It's 280k per sim when considering 5 M users

Then make it 5.1 million users since I thought it's of no consequence adding that

Misterlaby:

Hmmmmm

1.4T/5M =

haaaa

Who cares if they go or not. The president Buhari once said if he emerges as the president, business in Nigeria will no longer be shit. "Will be based on rules". The management slept too long to realise there is new sheriff in town. This will send a positive message to potential investors that Nigeria is fast becoming Africa's Singapore. I am sure they will be willing to invest and a get return for their money.
