Igbo's are slowly becoming like the North.

This Biafra protests these past weeks has made me realize that violence is not sectional.

The same Igbo's that are speaking against violence in the north have shown their violent side these past weeks.

If the north and east are agitating for Independence, what can I say if they are exhibiting the same traits?
The so called IPOB protests has led to the loss of lives already.

How can you resort to vandalism just cause you're aggrieved?

My suggestion, anyone caught should be made to pay damages.
PLEASE DON'T BLAME THEM, you see, am a muslim and have been residing in the north for the past 20 years with what have seen and know about the political elite of these northern region, JUST KNOW THAT NIGERIA WILL REMAIN PERPETUAL RETROGRESSIVE! FOR EXAMPLE I LEARNT THAT A 4 LITRES OF pms IS COST AS MUCH 2000# IN SOUTHERN STATE WHILE IN THE NORTH WE ARE BUYING 4LITRES 700#! "WHO IS SUBSIDISING WHO ?"

Didnt you go to school enough to know that owerru and abia states arent the only igbo states in nihgeria? Did all igbos tell you they wanted biafra?
Yoou all have a way of just wanting to slander igbos at every chance you get, go over to yoruba land and you'll see enough violence there only its a smaller scale. This mtn office vandalization has once haapened in lagos so why are you bringing in the igbos?

in a so call civilized community,nothing justifies such barbaric act.

Although I do not support violence but there is nothing barbaric about this. When you deal with a crowd you need to be careful especially when the responsibility falls on you to make amends. The report was scanty and cannot be based on for any meaningful judgment. MTN has never been straight with Nigerians, their business ethics have always been questionable, at a time they had the worst customer service amongst the networks.They don't comply to directives and seem not answerable to any body. Can a Nigeria company disregard directives in SA? If we really mean to move forward in this country people should be made to account for there actions, both individuals and corporate entities.

Nigeria is a funny place, where whatever happens in/with one region of the country gives those in other regions ample opportunity to bash and make tribalistic comments. Those of you making unreasonable and generalizing comments about the Igbo tribe/SE becoming violent and all that, especially the lady that was first to comment on this post, who even went as far as saying she wouldnt date an Igbo guy even if she was paid to. I just pity our unborn generation because the hate seems to grow stronger with each passing generation.
Now for those uneducated comments, I ask you, do you actually know what happened there at that particular MTN office that got people so riled that they decided to start pelting the MTN office with stones and all whatnot? Imagine standing in the hot sun for hours just to get your line unblocked and not being attended to because the staff of that particular MTN office chose to attend to certain people based on "who they are" and then totally ignoring those who "arent anybody" nor know anybody in that office, you feel what am saying? If you dont appear rich and influential or have a commanding presence, you wont be allowed in and attended to, who you know became a yardstick for attending to customers because the number of people whose lines were blocked had grown so big and to make matters worse, the staff at the top floor office decided to pour water on these already aggrieved customers who have been standing in the sun. Imagine the disrespect, imagine the embarrassment, now imagine you were one of those people that water were poured on, imagine being insulted in such manner and tell me you wont react.
the staffs there !! are they southies or Nigerian ?

You just said it all. I have come to a conclusion after observing this nairaland for years that about 60% of its members are either in secondary school or undergraduate [some unknowingly even include their ages (18-22) in their post]. That's why some of the comments here are mostly one-sided and portray no level of maturity from those still feeding from their mum's pocket. There's no zeal to analyse an open-news and research to ascertain the authenticity and cause of it. Ones it's here, everybody must comment.

I Registered my own line five years back but got a message of incomplete registration and line will be barred if not fully registered . Been to Mtn's office 8 times but could not succeed after hours of waiting. Went there two days ago and even met those who registered last month and were given #500 bonus claiming they got a message of barring again. The staff there ask everyone to text "status" to 779 and we'll get a response if our details are complete or not. Everyone there did and about 80% got a confirmation of complete registration details from MTNN and left the hall. I also did happily thanking God for saving me the stress.
Imagine recharging my phone to make a call only to learn that my two mtn SIMs have been blocked yester-morning.
The blocked SIMs can never and I say never make igbo people as claimed here to destroy that office. If there's one thing I know about Igbos, they adapt to any situation and if tried to unblock their SIM from MTN and could not after two-three days, they will just get another network and continue their business as usual which many of them have already done so.

Pouring water on a people that put food on your table and carter for your needs coined as salary is very very wrong. I don't think most people whether North or south can tolerate that.

I did not write this comment to argue with anyone cause I have resort not as I might just be doing so with a secondary school student or an undergraduate.

It's like you don't have an MTN line, or you were lucky that ur line wasn't blocked.

I duly registered my line. Even when they started sending messages for customers to go and verify their sim registration, I did, as I had to spend over 2 hours in their office to be attended to. Imagine that after all these, they blocked my line last night. I went to their office in Maitama today, and it was like a market. So many customers were shouting and complaining. Many of them said they were going to port straight to Glo.

MTN will lose so many customers after this mess. I'm very sure of that.
na by force to use mtn line ? not dat it offers any preferential package or whatever. suffering n smilling dey Africa. there network is ripping us off yet they block pipuls line, abeg move from dem naah

I have this feeling that NCC is trying to run MTN down cos I see no reason why they will ask MTN to deactivate already registered lines..

The Nigerian Business Environment is becoming a ZOO.


No investor will put his hard earned money in a ZOO.

We're putting Nigerians in South Africa at risk

We're endangering our relatives in Diaspora

We've indirectly 'sacked' our employed workers at the MTN experience centre in Owerri.

We're directly telling potential investors never to consider investing in Nigeria.

Owerri will automatically be termed an hostile business environment in Nigeria.

That is what you get when you start suspending your subscribers line now and then? How many times are we going to register one line as if we are registering for JAMB. Mtn buckle up and improve on your housekeeping.

I'm sorry, sir.
Are you okay?
Have you read through all the posts on here before making this your silly comment?

Was it NCC directive that people whose lines have been registered (severally, in some cases) should be disconnected?

Is it that you don't understand the frustration people have been trying to express on this thread or u just chose to be plain stupid and decided to expose your foolishness for the whole world to see.

Why do you feel the need to insult someone on an open and faceless forum to make your point?

How do the insults add value to your argument?

Did you lack parental care or get dropped on your head as a child or are you still one?

Is it the "frustration" of having your line disconnected that is impacting your ability to comprehend and hold a civil conversation or are you usually this obtuse on a good day?
