Mr Goodluck said there are only 12 expatriates working for the company in Nigeria compared to a workforce of 6,000 Nigerians.
"So if people go ahead with their threats to attack our facilities, what that means is that we may be forced to close down the business in Nigeria and about 6,000 Nigerians that make up 99% of our workforce will be unemployed.
Then, when you look at our support chain, we have about 500,000 Nigerians gainfully employed. So, boycotting our services simply means destroying so many other Nigerian businesses and making over 500,000 other Nigerians to lose their jobs. This business supports a lot of businesses across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Many of the businesses that are affiliated to South Africa are in the retail space, supporting the growth of Nigeria and employing so many Nigerians. We see no revenge of Xenophobia and we commend the role the Nigerian High Commissioner in South Africa has played; at least there has been no fatality on the part of any Nigerian,” he said

Hmmmmm....the way i see it its a two way thing.... Both sides will lose.....
Scope...
Na lie... Mtn gets a new management.. that's all
MTN vindicated
Let the expatriates leave too. What's the need, give them jobs and kill their brothers? Must grief be a way of saying thank you.
He's mad
Not much then. They are threatening a whole country with 6 thousand jobs. So sad
Nigerians don't care and that won't be a treat if thousands loose there jobs. After all human life should be valued that's all the masses are saying. The question is can we try that here in Nigeria by killing innocent Africans so pls Mr. Good luck Nigerians are not fools to b toiled around. Let's make peace that's all we want
rubbish and he didn't even condemn the attack.We survived civil war and how can we not survive just closure of mtn.How much do they even pay?Nonsense
'at least there has been no fatality on the part of any Nigerian,'. You should be ashamed for making the above statement. All who died and those displaced are Africans like u and i. If SA refuses to put her house together, we'll send their businesses in Nigeria packing and bring in new ones. What nonsense!
Dumb statement by dumb man, wtf sport guys I had to swear, let them loose their jOb and save life then new company will take over and create double of those jobs.
Black Africans always behaving like fish brains
Goodluck dont worry yourself about 6,000 losing thier jobs, ofcourse another nigerian would buy it, then the workforce will increase from that 6,000 to 10,000. thank you... leave our country abeg
Don't worry other network providers will come up and employ them, d man dey burnt his car shop he also employed south Africans, mtn in xenophobia no rationality, all we want is justtt go, mtn must go
So freaking what? Are those lives in South Africa greater than 6000 working Nigeria.? One life kine is a lit mire important than 10million jobs.
We can get another 6million jobs but we can never get back that post life
Mr. Good luck if u are feeling sorry for the numbers of Nigerians loosing there jobs what about the Nigerians that have lost there businesses n some that has lost there homes n even life. Let's not arque blindly please if u had a relation or brother there in SA ur story will b diffrent. Just my thought though
Then we replace it with a new MTN.. Change is inevitable... Wilkings
Nonsense! MTN and other multi nationals have been dodging taxes. Treat their Nigerian staffs like shit. Oga what proof do you have that they've not killed any Nigerian? Even at that, should we wait till then? Very annoying, hisssssss
No they won't lose their jobs of Dangote or Otedola or even Adenuga buys MTN.
They shuldnt make it worse
Dont use that line to blackmail us. Shut down and let South Africa feel the weight of their economy. We should begin barring south Africans from entering Nigeria sef
So when u guys wia killing blacks u never thought of this. MTN, DSTV,Mr price, spar,multichoice,shoprite carry ur bags n go.
If mtn leaves someone more deserving will replace it
Hmmm the last thing we need now is more unemployed Nigerians on the street
Is this one a nigerian?omo ale jati jati..no single patriotism in his head.
Wale good luck u dey mad. Because u want to secure ur job u are busy saying no Nigerian have been attacked so far. Plz go check d record about 50Nigerians lost their jobs over there to hoodlums in s.a also be it ple from Congo Ghana Zambia dey are all our brothers if u kill 1 Zambian it means u have killed a Nigerian . so stop protecting your fucking job bro. Be ready to be jobless
Hmmm the last thing we need now is more unemployed Nigerians on the street
I said it yesterday.
Leave MTN alone na only there network dey fast for my location.
Best revenge (if that's even necessary) would be shoprite. Lol
And...
OKORO UPGRADED**
So what?
A new Nigerian company own by Nigerians will emerge and employ 10,000 people. Thank you.
I dont believe mr Goodluck. MTN exit will lead to compitition in the communication sector and compitition brings efficiency
Nigerians are myopic in thinking. Many haven't thought about this rollback effect. Always critisizing our government blindly
2 wrongs can't make right...
There is some truth in that. However his response is kinda arrogant and unprofessional. You don't threaten ur host community with what they stand to lose
So now it's blackmail? Lol! See why Africans became slaves...
This guy is brave to threaten Nigerians, how much does MTN make on a daily basis...well his name says it all.punk! Babz
wait...this sounds more like a threat.... na wa o..
Goes to show how dependent Nigeria is.. Let's take this as a lesson and start creating our own companies. And start giving license for certain businesses to just Nigerians. No,, it aint selfish because many countries do that. 0h well.. I knew nothing much would be done. ----C21

Another telecommunication will be welcomed or better still it will give opportunity for other telecommunications to emerge,what MTN will loose will be far far worse that pple that will loose their jobs, how much her they even paying them self, peanut esp those at the call center. MTN WILL LOOSE MORE... , They should go and caution their pple.
Obviously two graves will be dug, but trust me MTN will loose more and if the same goes on in other African countries, then MTN will be limited to SA alone. Think that will be cool for them.
Let SA shud stop d rubbish in dere country
Pamscrib.blogspot.com
MTN, Mr Wale Goodluck! what a f***K are you talking about. am so pained that you could make such speeches. MTN and their sisters company have sucked and still sucking bloods out this nation as a whole. Is a crime for someone to traveled to a foreign land to seek a greener pasture? is it a crime to live and work in an African country close to you. Nigeria is over 150 million, so is it 6000 Nigerian MTN gat? You guys have long gone take us for a ride. MTN should send messages to whatever place they call their country home and stop the killing.
South Africans should be educated on bilateral relationship amongst Africa nations the country generate alot of foreign tax revenue in Nigeria.
We will be forced to destroy your company if these inhuman act against our own continues.
Nicely said. But really he's making that a yardstick. Trying to make us feel like we don't have a say. A lot of Nigerians would lose their jobs. But don't throw it at our faces.
add your own voice to help push government to do something about this, use your goof office, power and connection
South Africa feeding Nigeria home and abroad. What a pity. Cursed nation. No one pride.to revenge this humiliation?
Tell Those touts o
Oh,I see,so its until dere is a fatality before anything can be done. Hmmmmm God help we Africans
MTN is not the only network in Nigeria, if the continue to kill or destroy Nigeria property.
Dats rubbish !!..Mr southern job owner...wat do Yu mean by" at least there has been no fatality on the Nigerian side"...I.e we shouldn't get involved since we've nt been affected....true;!!!yur companies have provided a suitable standard of living for Nigerians as Yu so say creating jobs for 500,00 people ...bt this shows that 500,000 jobs is better than a human life(a brother cannot fight for his brother)and thank you once again for rubbing it in the face of the Nigerian government and youths..the youths beecause we've got our intellectual power bt would rather ascond It on a white collar job instead of being pro-active with our minds,and our very self ...and the fact that you say "Yur company is dis dat dis 99% of Nigerians "dnt make it sound like yur doing us a favour after all its nt cause you choose it,its the law of indigenisation, as if it the company here in Nigerian doesn't create a greater gross profit than in any other country and pls don't threaten your largest subscribers because we are the ones doing you a favour and its not the first time neither is it the second...that means you do not just owe us that , you owe Africa as a continent and the world at large ...so dnt be ungrateful becus we let Yu till our soils and plant companies here....so is say Mr southern job owner #sarcasim" thank you for giving us a speech of the year..we highly grateful"....#think be4 Yu talk, yur supposed to be smart... #Johnny says
so? no effect on the side of your company? u a joker! MTN go hear am wella
so what?before you came we are surviving so sharrap. i hate MTN with passion. iam for glo own by our brother
This is an empty treat bcuz they make most of their net profit from Nig
The federal government won't even dare
shut MTN down.
It's just a mere protests from angry Nigerians.
This people are really mean o...well I don't blame them it's the failure of our government I blame. jobs can't be compared to human lives
A word is enough for the wise. Two wrongs don't make a right. Closing down SA organisations in Nigeria will not solve the problem but like has been said, put more Nigerians in the unemployment market. There are other ways to resolve the issue.
Wow!! ...#sarcasm..well said....yu just evaluated the human life and our choice in it to 500 000 jobs ,dats fair ...so now that push has come to shove , we shouldn't think of fighting for our brothers !! Wat am I sayin sef ??...we should choose btw fighting for what's just and right ir 500,000 jobs. Well said Mr southern job owner!!...Like Jonny said .."thank you for givin us such a speech of the century"
Pls, the lives and blood are far higher than jobs...LIFE NOT REPLACEABLE but jobs are!!! They've carried out this wickedness before so we must make SA stop by any means...
IN AS MUCH AS WE DONT WANT DS,BT WE WANT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO B SAFE AND FREE TO WALK AROUND IN SA...TOMJERRYSWIT
Rubbish!!! You are just speaking to save your job. Ransack the bloody companies, seize control and make it Nigerian, isn't that what the Zulus are doing?
Nawa ooo,evn mtn cn decide to threaten us that they wld shut down at anytm wth this analysis ooo. There is serious problm cos we ar stil at their mercy
We will nationalize your company... Glo can take over #portforXenophobia. I can't wait to be proud of my country once again
Rubbish!!! You are just speaking to save your job. Ransack the bloody companies, seize control and make it Nigerian, isn't that what the Zulus are doing?
Mr. Wale Goodluck please note that there can be no gain without pain. Africans are dying like goats in the hands of South Africans and you say people will lose their jobs in Nigeria if Nigerians retaliate, what a shame! Does this mean that the South Africans owners do not benefit from the the venture called MTN! Closing down MTN in Nigeria and other African countries will make the SA government more responsible. How else do you get South Africans that have business interests in other African countries to exert pressure on their government to be responsible and stop the attacks
shut off mr goodluck. do the Zolu guys know that some of this foreign companies do employ their own nationals to and now they are suffering. note that MTN NGN generate about 28% to 30% of the entire MTN GROUP profit from Nigeria and hence its a big blow for them if they still think like fish.

No they will not loose their jobs.We willdo a take over.
Look at this Yoruba imbecile. So those in SA should die while business flourishes in Naija.
Sasol, sent South African citizens home from Mozambique. Even sending the 50 home will SA sit up.
Wale Badluck, u are a nincompoop
Little price to pay for recklessness on the part of an entire nation, feeling like they feed the world.IgboBorn!
This is a speech made by former South African President P.W Botha to his cabinet about 27 years ago. It was reprinted by David G Mailu for the Sunday Times, a South African newspaper, in 1985.
I quote…
” We are not obliged even the least to try to prove to anybody and to the blacks
that we are superior people. We have demonstrated that to the blacks in 1001 ways. The Republic of South Africa that we know of today has not been created by wishful thinking. We have created it at the expenses of
intelligence, sweat and blood……We do not pretend like other whites that we like the blacks
The fact that, blacks look like human beings and act like
human beings do not necessarily make them
sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. If God had wanted
us to be equal to the blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect.
But he created us differently:
Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers and the ruled. Intellectually,we are superior to the Blacks;
that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years. I believe that the
Afrikaner is honest, God fearing person, who has demonstrated practically the right way of being. By now every one of us has seen it
practically that the Blacks cannot rule themselves.
Give them guns and they will kill each other. They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives and indulging in sex. Let us all accept that the Blackman is a symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence. Isn’t it plausible?
Therefore that the Whiteman is created to rule the Blackman……And here is a creature (Blackman) that lacks foresight….. The average Black does not plan his life beyond a year”.
* So tell me , despite the insult, has the black man with current events in south-Africa been able to prove this man wrong after 27yrs.......??
We all know the bulk of the profits MTN makes in Nigeria goes back to SA despite the fact only few expatriates work with them.If MTN decides to close it will just create another opportunity for People like Dangote and the likes to get into the telecom industry.So this guy should stop threatning Nigerians and focus on the fact that innocent ppl are being killed
Dont worry, Etisalat, Glo,Airtel, Visaphone e.t.c will absorb the 6,000 staff since there will be more business for them
Doubt these protesters are in their right senses
True! Bt is dat a threat?
how on earth is this guy a company's communication guy? such arrogance and insensitivity in one. whose economy benefits? and who says our people; your employees would not get jobs elsewhere? ...imagine not a single comment attacking the senseless xenophobic attacks....
No one is askn u to liv Nig, all we r sayn is lend ur voice n say NO to XENOPHOBIA!
Surely Nigerians r going to b at big lost if they ever dare otherwise in d name of revenge.
Pls shut up my friend. Simply Nigerianize it. Make dem sell it to Nigerian business men or corporations. Adenuga, Dangote and co re waiting for this opportunity. And pls wake up Nigerians stop letting other idiots use u.
At least let's show them too little pepper
They will be alright....GTFO!
This is a ridiculous threat. The company can be bought over by stakeholders. All SA businesses can be sold. They should leave. This is a myopic statement implying the future is being held to ransom.
What is this one saying. You will be forced to sell your company to a better candidate Ni. And stop threatening us.
They should leave Znigeria. The likes of Otedola, Dangote , Alakija could invest in telecommunications
Buhari will us with more better jobs, so MTN, shoprite and Dstv can leave.
BAD BAD PR!!!
SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT EVEN IF IT'S TRUE.
True.
I think instead our musicians/actors should not shoot any video in SA.
And other Nigerians should not go there on holiday cos we spend a lot of money shopping when we go there
Nonsense!!! There is lots of competition out there, Na only MTN dey employ.Not suprised ur last name is GOODLUCK=Clulesness
unfortunately, the South African business operating in Nigeria are not own by the black South Africans that are killing their fellow black Africans. If the businesses are closed it will not affect the black South Africans, it is the Nigerian employed in this companies that will lose their jobs. So there is no need to shut down their businesses!
You should not threaten Nigerians with the number of people that will look their Job. If MTN leaves the country today, other organisation will come in and employ. Therefore, people will gain their employment back.
Guy, leave that thing.
That space would be swiftly occupied.
What about the 60000 people who are endangered in south Africa.... Corporate impunity at its highest
@Mr Wale Goodluck, from your name you should be stoned to death. so killing Nigerians in SA is better . How will you support Xenophobia.... I don't know why you make harsh statement that "6000" Nigerians will looose their jobs. They will get another job somewhere....
his an animal and so what if the communication is shut down is better than the life of those lost,why is it that our people don't always think of others they should leave if they continue to kill or threaten our Nigeria people.
Is dis a threat or wat??how much dem dey pay self? oh well, na bad government i blame.....btw, mtn if una go we no go mzz una one bit,so long we av eti,glo n airtel...we r gud to go!
That's trash,they should be bothered about how much billions they are going to loose. Nonsense!!!
Na wa o, dis is a serious matter
yes 6,000 people will loose their job but what about the money the owners of the company will loose, this is just to make them move and talk to their president nobody in this world wish to loose money so they will have a good talk with their people in govt and im sure nobody will loose their jobs hear cos they will not want it to happens.
so they should go on killing Nigerians? Job and life which is more important? There is no, no logic in what this guy is saying!
MTN should go nau.. Glo, Airtel and Etisalat will expand their business here.
Linda cogitate
Do you know billions of dollars MTN will lose if they should leave Nigeria. so pls keep your treat!
If mtn leaves then glo & etisalat wud hv more customers & wud employ more pple
MARIOLA BLOG says: hmm!
#sinequanon#..............***nebulars***
Forgive me for what am about to say If Mtn leave Nigeria they will loss more than us they should not use that 6k workers to hold Nigeria others Network will receive the subscribe member and workers
If they know what is best for they should pray south Africa stop this rubbish because we can't afford to loss our brother and sisters life and work for some lazy south African
12 expatriates? Big big lie
PARENTAL ADVISORY!!!
So they blackmailing us now abi
Shut up already! Meaning wat?! Tell ur pple to stop the killing
He's speaking for himself, If we lose our jobs for naija we know how to get another unless you are lazy. Do you realized how many foreigners in SA that has lose their jobs and shops and can't even take normal route to their place of work like usual cos of fear? Listen Mr.man, if MTN should go others will stand, abi glo and etisalat no work for your area? A lot of business guru will happily buy MTN, thank God you said 99% workers are Nigerians so why promoting their company if we can run it ourselves that means they are lazy and eat profit with ease (Monkey dey work Baboon dey chop? Zain was formerly Econet& Vodacom, recently bank changed their names e.g Phb to Keystone and so forth, who bought them abi ppl no lose their jobs or retain some ppl? Mr.Man go sleep, you are just blabbing.
Pls Oh
Let Something be done fast oh. Our Government
MTN management,tell your people to stop killing our people or else... We have no other option to ask you people to leave. And we will establish ours
so na make we come dey watch una kill our brothers and sisters abi una dey crazy .we no does working with u will definitely lose their jods . all i known is dat when1 doors closes another will open . if una go another we come . so make una waka abeg ur people are evil beko
so na make we come dey watch una kill our brothers and sisters abi una dey crazy .we no does working with u will definitely lose their jods . all i known is dat when1 doors closes another will open . if una go another we come . so make una waka abeg ur people are evil beko
We re sold out hmmmmm wat a talk .....FG una see una life 4 outside? ??? Una jst dey chop d money alone n sold una citizens out for 50kobo
Dem dey madt our brothers life is far better than their stupid work.
He should shut up and go and find a new job. Mtn shld get out of Nigeria
MTN should shut the hell up.. is that what they should say? they should use their brand name and appeal to the south African government to look into the attacks instead of talking bull crap
All I see in mr wale is selfishness yes people will lose their jobs but has he taught about how many africans that have lost their lives, many Nigerians that have lost their businesses over there in S/A and how many still in danger how many more that may lost theirs lives if noting is done urgently if south africans don't want Nigerians we too don't need them here multichoice and mtn can go to the moon and operate from there for all I care afterall they milk us like there is no tomorrow suck us like Mosquitos we can always fall back at our own bring in more companies is time for us Nigerians to support and embrace our own like Ghana
The Federal Government or the CBN should stop all remittances of funds from Nigeria to South Africa. That would be better than shutting the South African companies down.
I currently work at MTN port harcourt and please, i am not ready to lose my job
just shut up there. if any would lose job, it is only you and your fat pay and that is what you are afraid of. let mtn go and indigenous company like glo grow and give real employment to Nigerians not contract jobs. Nigerian government should nationalize their assets and send the back to where the were before coming to Nigerian and make it big. who knew mtn before? it is Nigerian that make them what they are today and all they could contribute to Nigeria and Nigerians is fraud and rip-off. let there be a job lost but let them go and we shall know who will be the losers.
A very well said truth,Nigerians are not as stupid as the South Africans,if we are,we need not wait for them to bring it up first after all they gain and take more away from us. #stopxenophobia
Hatred towards foreigners is caused by fear is xenophobia
Hatred towards blacks by blacks is Afrophpbia
Lol. Be not afraid...
Look what happened to the jews in Hitler's time bcos pple that weren't affected didn't comment..
The price we pay 4 looking d other way.
K n
I BEG NO THREATEN US....NO ONLY MTN BE TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANY WEY DEY NAIJA...I BEG GO SIT DOWN...
BUT THAT IS THE TRUTH...WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTN OF OUR OWN IN THIS COUNTRY.. WE DEPEND SOLELY ON OTHER NATIONS TO HELP US BUILD OURS SO WHY THEM NO GO DO SHAKARA? GOES TO SHOW THE KIND OF COUNTRY WE ARE IN.
is that a threat or wht....that 99% nigerians will lose thier jobs if u leave Nigeria............u better speak to ur fellows pple to stop the killing of innocent pple or else u are going back to ur country...stupid pple.
is that a threat or wht....that 99% nigerians will lose thier jobs if u leave Nigeria............u better speak to ur fellows pple to stop the killing of innocent pple or else u are going back to ur country...stupid pple.
Truth tho... I said the same thing today. I feel it's our loss...
It would shock MTN that as soon as they are sent out of Nigeria the rich men here in Nigeria would form NTN and MTN would be so forgoteen all people have to do is port to other networks.
Se oro niyen ni igboro enu? Dey shd sha tell der pple 2 stop der deadly act or dey lose der busness here. U can't b gaining 4rm us here yl ur pple r der killing our pple n distroying der properties
MTN should talk to its home country, South Africa, not us. Is it ok for them to continue business as usual here when Nigerians are hounded and killed in SA? 6,000 jobs yes, but they are no missionaries; they are carting away our money(Dollars!!) in their truck loads on a daily basis. What goes round comes round; their leaving will be the gain of Nigerians, a million fold. It is only a matter of time and adjustment. The big question is why is this terrible imbalance in Nigeria's relation with South Africa? We keep rubbing and soothing their back and they keep poking into our eyes. Why? Their big corporations in Nigeria cannot play innocent or blackmail us with job loss. They should learn diplomatic shuttle, lay it on as it is to their people or get packing. MTN in particular builds schools etc all over SA, pays huge tax etc. So it has a sphere of influence there.

Hmmm 6000people with d nos of unemployed graduates on ground as at now. Is not gonna affect Nigerians alone it will also affect MTN I mean d business. So ds case needs serious nd a deep attention
They forgot to mention how much they will loose

True talk
Abegi, dey shouldn't blackmail us with dat. It means Glo, Airtel & Etisalat would pick up, thereby employing more people. Linda take note!
Then the option of a hostile takeover is available so get it on with.
God will intervene
How much will they lose in form of revenue? Is Nigeria not their biggest cash cow in Africa. 95% of the so called 6,000 staff are contract staff with no benefits and wicked conditions (being perpetuated by fellow Nigerians thinking of their pockets only). Anyway its not your fault, its NLC that has failed the Nigerian workforce by not protecting their interest. Go to better countries and try that rubbish.
Better call your govt. to order.
SHUTUP!!!WHO TELL YOU SAY GLO AND ETISALAT NO GO EMPLOY ALL OF THEM
Mr Wale is saying rubbish. He's saying that cuz of his selfish interest. MTN been a telecommunication company in Nig and SA they are suppose to voice and comdemn the attacks on fellow blacks. If MTN is shut down in Nig it will give room to indigenous businessmen( Dangote, Tony Elumelu etc) to establish a formidable telecommunication that will employ more than the 6000 people with better salary base. What the 1% expatriate earns in a year is worth more than 2,000 Nigerians earn in the company. Just like multichoice they fought tooth and nail to destroy and displace an indigenous satellite company( HITV) just becose they were showing EPL matches and their subscriptions cheaper than that of DSTV. Nigeria still remain their highest subscribers in the whole of Africa yet their tariff is so high in Nig. Just recently DSTV want to increase to almost 100$ for complete subscription whereas countries like Angola & Namibia is paying less than 70$ for the same complete subscription.
He is an idiot. So because South idiotic Africans have not harmed any Nigerians then we should be glad. If matters were reversed those he think they will allow Nigerians set up a booming business in their land? Is he a moron, hasn't he been following the way south Africans have made life difficult for Nigerians and every other Africans. Yet we allow them thrive on our soil. I really don't blame them, I blame our idiotic government cos it's like we are at their mercy. Left to me every one should leave that cursed County and boycott all their products then we'll see if a man can be an island.
Others will absorb them
Eh let them go and give it to south africans, we will work for glo
THATS WHAT I BEEN SAYING NOT EVEN 1 NIGERIAN HAS BEEN KILLED IN XENOPHBIC ATTACKS IN SA SO WHY ARE THERE MAKING SO MUCH NOISE SEEKING ATTENTION, MXXXM
I don't believe MTN employed 6000 nigerians, even if they did, this is emotional blackmail, so we should allow our people die because of jobs?
And so does what? Even at that, it's just for a while. Sooner, networks like Glo and Etisalat will expand thereby giving opportunities for many other Nigerians. Let the worst happen. Just go and stay in your country we will still survive, we will even grow stronger. We are Strong Nigerians!
MTN IS TOO BIG TO LOSE YOUR THREATS WONT AFFECT THEM THERE ARE OPERATING IN MANY COUNTRIES IN AFRICA AND ASIA,THEIR BIGGEST MARKET IRAN, SO YOUR PEOPLE STAND TO LOSE JOBS IF YOU THREATEN TO SHUT DOWN MTN, I THINK YOU PEOPLE ARE JUST OVEREACTING,
Another story for the gods. The 6,000 Nigerians you talking about will be absorbed by GLO, Etisalat and Airtel.
We Nigerians do not appreciate d threats of unemployment, as much as we are absolutely aware of d consequences. Unemployment or not we'll derive no pleasure in driving out an investor from our country(we are all africans). Mtn & other south african companies in nigeria are influential enough to talk sense into d south African government to act fast in preventing xenophobia, & put in place a plan to stop this horror ones & for all, bcos we believe one good turn deserves another. Gosh I have so much to say but never mind! Mtn just don't try to threaten us with unemployment, be sensitive enough to help us. Wld it be so bad if u put inplace an anti-xenophobia organisation in sa? With armed forces who calm situations like this before it become an issue, or better-still suggest this to your sa government. This has happened twice now, not putting a prevention plan inplace is like experimenting with pple's lives & security.
Shut up idiot
The other nationals they are killing are they not human beings,the action will be like a caution to S.A,thats why we Nigerians don't protest because of selfish interest,i don't a relative in S.A but it hurts me.nigerians let's try and be selfless for once.
U are very stupid 4 dis statement..... u useless south African... we were surviving b4 mtn can 2 Nigeria and trust me we will be beta after u left. Idiot.
My dear, if South Africa can survive, we ll. Dey should stop making it look as if, they are not gaining either + MTN network is d worst u can think of.
Can u imagine,thunder fire whoever made dat statement..mtn should fuck off jare.
So 6000 jobs is more important than 6000 lives. They will get job somewhere else Mr.
Na wa, wale u just fall my hand, instead of u and ur oga at d top to do an sms to condem d attack, u re dere threatening people wit job,ha Nigeria my dear country, wen re u goin to be delivered from dis slave masters? And I knw from very soon u guys will come up wit a stupid sms like, To know how many people killed during xenophobic attacks in South Africa, text xenophobic to 30333. Sms cost #50 per week. God go punish all of una management team at MTN for dat inhuman response.
Is dat a treat? abegi hand over d company to som1 else and leave no need to shut it down.
Is the life of those that has been killed not worth than 6 thousands job lost
These Hypocrites should Shut up. It's Sad though. I feel so pained. Yes, 6000 people will loose their Jobs. Myself Included. But how many of us are Real MTN Staff.??? The entire company's work force is outsourced. So we are Basically all contract staff. Without any form of. allowance. Just a Basic salary.
This large scale of workforce outsourcing IS NOT the case in South Africa. These guys milk our Country and equally treat us Nigerians like Trash, both in our Country and theirs.
I know any Business strives to be profitable, but If a Company can earn over N749 Billion after Tax, why should more than 85% of its Staff be contract? Its a case of monkey dey work, Baboon dey Chop!!!
I'm not saying the Company should be shut Down, But my point is MTN Management should not make it seem they are doing its Staff a favour. Bcos we receive Peanuts compared to what they earn...........If MTN Nigeria goes down, sincerely na those Management Staff go feel the Pain more.

MTN is making billions of naira every month in Nigeria. Remember that we are the giant of Africa. What MTN will loose won't be compared to those that will loose their jobs. We won't miss them. There's Glo, Etisalat and Airtel to serve us; and other telecommunication companies will spring up before u say Jack. So we won't take to that threat.

Nigerians are very funny and highly hypocritical. If we could execute 'Ghana Must Go' how then is 'Nigeria Must Go' now so wrong. Illegal immigrants are a big problem in SA and the people are right to take action. Nobody should be killed but what happens when illegal immigrants refuse to leave?
IS BETTER TO LIVE WITHOUT A JOB THAN TO DIE SHAMEFULLY IN ANOTHER MANS LAND
Air tel, Etisalat, glo etc would take MTN's place and absorb them all
can we all calm down pls? Mr. Goodluck's statement is not a threat. He was merely stating the obvious. SA businesses (MTN) inclusive employ thousands of Nigerians directly and enable thousands of businesses too. You close down their business, you would be putting Nigerians, working on Nigerian soil, out of work for the actions of South Africans in South Africa. Make we dey try use our brain small now? Anh! Should the SA businesses be pressured to pressure their own govt to stop the violence? Yes of course. Should we also directly pressure SA govt to stop the violence, again the answer is yes! BUT there are ways to go about this without endangering the livelihoods of Nigerians living in Nigeria. Lets stop all this cheap and illogical reactionism in the name activism. Abo oro l'an so fun omoluabi.....

You speak ignorantly. we dont care is that not better than your lazy and foolish people killing foreigners. Your statement mean support for the killings..... Pack and go before the story tell u
Useless talk! No show of empathy at all!!! If they leave Nigeria, then their infrastructures would be used by Glo or others Nigerian Telecoms Company, which can be boosted to their full potential. Am sure new Nigerian owned telecom companies would spring up too.
He is talking about 560k Nigerians loosing their jobs. What about the millions they rake in every day? Poor service, Expensive rates, High rate of casual workers, etc.
MTN must go!!!
Imagine....jes 6000 workers,in d whole Nigeria.Rubbish.biko...dey should go.
Haba! We just have to condemn any form of xenophobia, rather than calling names and reacting to a comment made by one person, who may have been quoted out of contest or misinterpreted. I urge everyone to condemn xenophobia b'cos it's very sensitive and be very careful of our reactions.
Guys! MTN already condemned the Xenophobic attacks how will they now threaten Nigeria again? Dem no fit! This story has been twisted jare.
Mr. Wale Goodluck,So by your explanation,Nigerians in South Africa should be sacrificed because 6,000 Nigerians are being employed by MTN. This is arrant nonsense.
Spread love not WAR! Nigerians can be aggressive sha. When you attack a company because of something that it has nothing to do with are you not being Xenophobic yourself? Wake up guys
OMG!I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO UPSET IN MY LIFE.DID I JUST READ YOU RIGHT WALE GOODLUCK.?
MTN MAKES BILLIONS AND YOU DARE THREATEN MTNS REASON FOR EXISTING?HOW CALLOUS OF YOU.
NO NIGERIAN LIFE LOST!OMG!!YOU ARE A UNBELIEVABLE.DID YOU JUST SAY THAT?
NIGERIANS,AFRICANS (EXCLUDING SA),PLEASE LETS CALL FOR THE SACK OF THIS POMPOUS MF.I NEVER SWEAR BUT I'M SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!HOW DARE YOU?????
MIKE ADENUGA WILL MOP UP YOUR BS.ITS NOT LIKE YOUR STAFF ARE TREATED WELL.A LARGER SHARE OF YOUR WORKFORCE ARE CONTRACT STAFF.WITH NO BENEFITS!
WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SAYING.LET THEM LEAVE AND LETS SEE IF THE FOREIGNERS CAN GET THE KIND OF GOOD LIFE THEY GET HERE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.WHY DO YOU THINK FOREIGNERS HUSTLE FOR NIGERIAN POSTS?EVERYTHING IS ENGINEERED INCLUDING THEIR FRIGGING TAX.THEY HIDE THE FEES UNDER MISCELLANEOUS ETC.DESPITE KIDNAPPINGS ETC,THEY FLOOD OUR COUNTRY.OH GOSH I'M ANGRY!
As if more have not lost their lives gboro lenu asinwi.
What MTN didn't know is that if they closed down today, we have people who can buy all their investments in Nigeria and re-employ sacked staff, change the name to NTM. The game has just started, let's see who wins
OMG!!This man sound like an idiot. Is he treating protestrs? Shame on whoever gave bitth to this waste of space. So if MTN is shut down, no other company can replace them? What a loser! Gosh!!!
Make dem go biko. Other substitutes are there.
If I catch that man I swear I will burst him head. He is not sorry for what his peopl is doing.
It won't be easy thou...but let the truth be told..,.he who got a life gonna work, not he who is dead......so mtn benefit from us, same do we are...so let use our Brian instead of our mouth
And Mr. Wale, u refused to tell us that d salary of d 12 expatiate is equivalent to more than half of d workers.
Nonsense so till they kill nigerian bf we can react?for us to allow them kill our pple pls we prefer them alive back to us.Sai Baba wl create employment soon so naija go better.We value our pple lives abeg.We don't agree with each other politically,religious n enthenic difference bt we don't allow any other country to touch our own.
KFC stays biko
