Mobile Telecommunications Network, MTN, has promised to unblock every sim of subscribers they blocked in the next 24 hours.
MTN Nigeria, over the past 24 hours, acted upon directives by the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) to disconnect telephone lines connected to Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) that were not associated with National Identification Numbers (NINs), which were supposed to go into effect on July 31, 2024.
Some of the subscribers vented their resentment and aggravation about the problem as they arrived at the MTN offices early on Monday, July 29, 2024, with long queues forming at the entrances.
Many vowed to kick off their protest to end bad governance in the country from the MTN offices in their various states.
In a recent development, a viral video captured the moment an MTN head staff announced that all barred sims would be unblocked in the next 24 hours.
While the announcement brought relief to many Nigerians, others speculated that it was a calculated attempt by the government to stop the nationwide protest scheduled for today, July 29th.
Fans of popular Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky are anticipating his release from prison.
It would be recalled that some months ago, the socialite pleaded guilty to Naira mutilation, a crime that landed him six months in jail.
In a recent development, fans counting down to the end of his jail time flooded his comment section to express their anticipation for his release.
A fan identified as Elle Badoo on TikTok shared her excitement in a video, stating how much she missed the shenanigans and trendy updates from Bobrisky.
“Congratulations guys; Bobrisky is coming out today. We miss you on the street of social media. Mummy of Lagos, we cannot wait to see you,” she stated.
