More problems for the Nigerian banking system, we go soon stop to use bank sha

Finally we are going cashless

Congratulations MTN. MTNNG

I thought the debtor-Buhari government once Lai that this the same MTN and Shoprite would leave Nigeria ni?

Look inward it is fulani company. South is sleeping while these people have taken over everything in Nigeria. Haven't asked yourself why that tribalistic moron will boast about declaration of northern country if any party gives Igbo man Presidential ticket.. Nig is gone.

It’s going to be called mobile money. Replica of pos but this one no cards is needed. Just from your phone mobile money wallet you can withdraw from their agents and so many other payments services

Being a fool does not necessarily mean the person will be senseless n poor, being a fool can be when a person is not telling him or herself the truth.Soludo stop listening to fulani and make a name for urself. Do not allow fulani ppl to destroy u Soludo.

I can imagine the kind of bank

The way dem go hack their accounts ehn

so MTN wanted to be helping nigerians to efficiently remove their alert sms charges, card maintenance charges, complaint charges.....

I feel this MTN banking will be easy for the police to extort!!

Mtn mobile number services is a welcome development only if it comes to stay.

MTN knows what the future holds.

Yyahhhh good news

Hmmmm

Is this not xenophobic south African company that the zoo is giving such opportunity despite what they do to Nigerians in their home

This is a vote for the economy of Nigeria. This is a testimony that our economy is strong, enduring and full of confidence. It's sad that it's foreigners that always see our potentials and have confidence in us and our country.

Imagine the number of people wey them don settle to get this thing rolling 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂. MTN get funds Abeg Lol

Theives

🧑🏽‍🍳This is a good move by them. Let’s see what impacts this has in improving financial activities for the masses. They should also be a role model when it comes to internet speed and data packages. Right now there’s a lot lacking on this front.

Alright

Get improvement

Already been done in Ghana ,most west Africa country
