Photos: MTN dissociates itself from ‘political’ recharge cards

I'm sure some of you have seen these recharge cards bearing logos and names of political parties and contestants of next year's elections. MTN Nigeria has dissociated itself from recharge cards. Below is a statement they released...
"As a corporate organisation MTN is non-political and non-partisan. MTN Nigeria does not have any arrangement with any political party to produce specially branded recharge cards or merchandise. We also do not have any affiliation with any political party or organisation, either in Nigeria or in any of the 22 countries where MTN operates across Africa and the Middle East. " Continue...

"Operators and their authorized partners are allowed to sell logical PINs to dealers and trade partners, who in turn retail them to third parties and members of the public who may also wish to/reprint them for their private/commercial use.”
“We will take all prudent steps to ensure that dealers conform to agreed trade practices consistent with statute and policies governing the Industry.”

  18. This is the declaration of the Organization Of Islamic Cooperation for Nigeria. An order which must be fulfilled.

    "amongst other things, that only Muslims should be appointed to strategic posts, non-Muslim religions should be eradicated, Nigeria should become a Federal Islamic Sultanate, and western law should be replaced with sharia".

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuja_Declaration_(1989)

    Who still sees Boko Haram as a surprise? And why The Entire head of APC are all muslims?

    Turkey used to be a 100% Christian Nation...what happened to it?

    Nigerian Christians must wake up!

    Re-Broadcast! Pls.

  32. Some of you guys are bloody hypocrites.

    Where were you when Jonathan & PDP were violating openly the electoral law on campagns; for more than 6 months through the activities of so - called TAN?

    In any case, this is purely a branding matter and is similar to a situation when somebody buys a gift item and brands it for a particular campagn/event. E.g. during xmas.

    If MTN truly feels that the terms & conditions of advertisement placements on their customizable recharge cards has been voilated, the law court is there. chikenna!

  33. Also , Mtn pls dissociate yourself from those frivolous calls u put across to my phone to advertise ur products when am tryin to save my battery.otherwise I wil sue soon

  34. Though all I need is the PIN numbers, I will not buy any recharge that has APC or PDP logo. The two parties have failed Nigerians in the Federal State and Local Governments
