I will not go and re-register my line. You can
fool everyone if you like, you might have fooled me before, but you would never
fool me again.
The only reason while you continue to pull the
wool over our gullible eyes is because the consumer rights’ protection agencies
are either in the vegetative state, or completely dead...
How can you explain a situation where you would
tell your millions of teeming subscribers to register their SIM cards and
provide the necessary bio-data, only for you to wake up one morning to tell us
to go and register our lines again WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION?
It beats my imagination and it defies not just
logic, but also philosophy. Were you drunk when you were registering our
numbers? Did a malicious virus wipe your entire database?
Maybe I’m giving you too much credit sef. You
probably wrote the records in books like an ancient bookkeeper and a giant
yellow rat ate them all. Whatever your reasons (or lack of reasons) may be,
this is beyond ridiculous.
I have always maintained an MTN line because
apart from being my very first line, most of my close associates also use MTN.
To some extent, the coverage is also extensive.
I didn’t hesitate when the directive came from NCC to register our lines. I
braved the queue, registered my line and collected my security number.
Didn’t I try enough?
Looking back, I can deduce that my attachment
to MTN was more sentimental than practical, as your tariffs are the highest for
calls and for browsing.
You send an average of 100 spam texts per day,
enough to run down a Blackberry battery and more than enough to give any Osun
State government worker waiting for Aregbesola’s alert acute hypertension. Your
nuisance value knows no bounds.
Even Airtel that has been passed round
different investors more times than a devil’s mail bag has not come up with
this kind of Grade A foolishness.
What the heck is wrong with you? Don’t your
customers mean anything to you? Doesn’t it bother you that Nigerians who wasted
their time to register their SIM cards have to do the same thing again?
You haven’t even deemed it fit to fine-tune the
process. It doesn’t make sense to preserve bad experiences like these, in very
much the same way that one relic of history is preserving mud huts, and stating
them on an assets’ declaration form.
My records are not on your database, but you
remember my number when you want to tell me to text ‘YES’ to win a missing plot
of land in Port-Harcourt, right? May heavy-duty thunder fire all of una. I
really don’t blame you. If Nigerians had run your devious, xenophobic,
exploitative, heartless, opportunistic, fraudulent ass back to South Africa,
you wouldn’t be here making them queue desperately like migrants.
What’s to say that there wouldn’t be another
sham registration in the next couple of months since you guys obviously don’t
know what you are doing? You blocked my line, you have helped me.
Prior to your ridiculous directive, I had
already banished your yeye SIM card to a barely functional phone.
I have even borrowed the maximum permissible
amount. Go ahead, feel free. It sure feels great knowing that when I eventually
toss the phone into the trash-can, I won’t have to take out the SIM. Good
riddance to bad rubbish.
You deserve to be sued for every fraudulent
penny you’ve ever made on our shores. Thanks to other service providers for
making sure that your evil dream of becoming a monopoly will forever remain a
demented hallucination. There are so many fishes in the ocean. I will not
tolerate your recklessness any longer. Peace at last….
This letter speaks my mind
