Why would MTN feel above the law wherever they go?
The rule of any business is to satisfy allll stakeholder, and when interest conflict, be fair to all.
Government is one of their stakeholder as important as owners and customers.

MTN should come down from their high horse, I won't like my service provider to go down just like that!!

wey our Twitter Senate President. his attention is needed.

Story


It doesn't change the fact that NCC, like the typical Nigerian, is greedy. Always wanting to reap sharp money through back-door.


I really don't care about the agreement. The prevalent body language of y'all shows ALL we want is the fall and death of MTN because the firm is headquartered in South Africa.

Firms all over the world face sanctions. Apple, Samsung, Gucci, Absolut, just name it, but we hardly see people celebrating such actions. I mean people that will benefit ZERO naira from the outrageous fine.

It is people like you who travel outside the country and obey the law to the letter over there, but complain when ever you are sanctioned here in nigeria.

Acidosis:


This is WHY Business Education must be properly enforced on all Nigerian students.

There is something they call PESTEL, & 5 Porter's forces in Business/Marketing. There is something they call Relational Capital, Employee capital and supplier capital in entrepreneurship.

Do you know the cost of fibres, and other telecommunication materials when sim cards were sold for N30,000?

Do you know the weight of political forces and legal issues alongside the associated costs 10 years ago?

Why aren't you CASTIGATING NOKIA for selling you a PKALASA phone at N40,000 some 8years ago?

Why MTN?

When they tell people like you to attend business and entrepreneurship classes, you wouldn't go, but you'd sit back eyeing the CEO position in SHELL & AGIP. These are issues mere common sense should solve without quoting some complex business models and consumer theories.

if the high cost of fibre optic cables led to sim being sold for 30000 10 years ago.going by the current inflation rate it should be 120000 now.
Pls the fact is the took advantage of nigeria,

This Network Need to Lock Up!!! .....

Pay back time..

MTN ti yi ti baje bayi ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

No wonder MTN d vex come expire my bbm subscription, them go take am easy o

How does that affect the cost of gari in Nigeria?

MTN the corporate rascal.

Upon all the exorbitant billings from MTN, they still can't fulfill their own end of the bargain.

End time fines....

MTN should settle us first, it's called FIFO(First In First Out)

It seems MTN is overdoing it.

U've got to imbibe the spirit of competition, not just to encroach a host country and kill all the local but growing industries.
#recieveSense

Too small, MTN can raise the money for that fine in 30 minutes.

Trouble! Every where you go!

End time network

Thank you. On this MTN issue, I noticed your posts and mine are always in agreement. Don't mind the ignorant folks with herd mentality...

So far everyone is hating, let me join too. No common sense to analyse issues. And they wonder why they are unemployed or not in leadership positions.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you both are actually wrong. This has little to do with Contextual environment (PEST) analysis, Business/Marketing or Porters 5 forces (Competitive environment analysis), which are the subject matters I lecture on as a PT associate professor at a business school in Amsterdam.

This has more to do with anti-trust laws and regulations which are quite complicated, but in short are there to ensure that the market and especially the consumers have a fair playing field as well competitors. I wont claim to know the details because you cant base on a short summary, but it seems that MTN was not playing fair and I applaud this as it shows that Africa is moving towards a developed business environment.

Did you read the article? Do you understand why they have been fined? Did you understand the nature of the offence? Is it similar to the one for which they received a fine in Nigeria?

Do you know they signed an agreement with NCC, and the fine wasn't arbitrary? Ignorance isn't a crime.

Don't mind him.....and ignorance is not an excuse

Zeedarh:
Happy for them.
I've always trusted God to judge on my behalf . Last week, these same people came to our campus for MTNinvasion show (most boring show i ever witnessed). I was in the crowd jejely watching when the MC invited me over to their ugly looking 'pako' stage to come and pick ticket from the raffle box for someone to win one phone like that. In my mind, i was like 'chai, i go see something collect from MTN' not knowing i was in a 'jonzing' world. After picking about four missing winners and tearing their tickets, i finally picked a lucky and available winner. When the guy came, it was as if i was inexistent; not even a 'thank you' from anybody. I just use style leave stage in shame

Welcome to the world of MTN. They take, take , take and never give. Sorry anyway, next time if you get called like that, walk upto the mc and say this "If you don't compensate me for this, we will meet at the bottom of the sea"

na wa

Oh No, that post has nothing to do with the fine. It's a response to a poster claiming and asking why MTN Sim cards were sold at N30,000 some years back.

I'm sure you'd agree to the fact that costing and pricing structure has to do with supplier capital, PEST, competition.

good

I think you are ignorant of the fact that government is the regulator of bizs and punishment as deterrent to violation is always a fine anywhere in the world. In extreme cases, licence can be withdarwn. Clawn!

Of course they do, my apologies if I have misunderstood you.

The day of reckoning has finally come. I predicted all these happenings when MTN stole my 800 naira airtime. Pay me what you owe me!

nice one

I just want the world to know that, I am the reason why the earth exists!

You really believe the guy saying NCC is greedy? Why do other network providers followed the rules but MTN disobeyed? Maybe be you guys are from another planet.

Empty hen don suffer
