Are the Minister of communication, Chairman Economic and  Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC),Executive  Chairman Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) and Consumer Protection Council of Nigeria(CPC) aware of the ongoing "unsolicited"or "automatic" subscription to customers accounts at a chargeable fees by MTN,GLO,AirTeL,and Etisalat etc.?

The following is the method used by the GSM companies in making billions from customers unjustly:

"Dear Customer, your subscription to Callertunez service has been renewed successfully and N50.00 deducted from your account. This service will expire and auto renew on 2018-02-17. To cancel, text NO to 4100. Dial *410# to enjoy more tunez".

Perhaps the telecommunications companies are aware that : A lot of customers cannot "read" and "write" in English. A lot of customers even if they can "read in English "do not care to "read" their messages from GSM companies. A lot of customers "delete" their messages without reading it .

This tactics of making billions without customers consent must change or stop. In my humble opinion, the GSM companies in Nigeria must change their pattern of making "billions" from the customers. Is automatic subscription not a fraud or an extortion or an exploitation or a misconduct and or  corruption? The issue of automatic subscription did not start now. It has been happen for years. I humbly advice the GSM companies to stop this practice forthwith in the interest of Justice. 

The Minister of communication , Executive Chairman of NCC,Chairman of EFCC and CPC should and  or must wake up and do their work effectively.

My hope is that we will all have a "win-win situation". In view of that, my advice  to subscribers is that, please, always  read all your texts messages. Check all messages! To the management of all the GSM companies is that , please, order the immediate stopage of this practice . And to the regulators, please, make sure that you do your Job of protecting the general public.

This method employed by the GSM companies is not a justifiable marketing strategy .For me, it is  unfair. There are thousands of lawful marketing strategies but certainly not this.  Subscription should and must be by "order" or "consent" of the customers. subscription must be by the request of the customers. We need positive change in this regard.

May God bless Nigeria!

ISRAEL V. PALESTINE :THE HYPOCRISY OF TWO STATES SOLUTION                             By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                October 19, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict"-Martin Luther King, Jr. Permit me to add my voice on the ongoing massacre of women, children, and armless civilians in Palestine. In my thought, it is not about who triggers the present massacre of the Palestinians , but it is time to talk about the 76 years of massacre of women, children, and the armless civilians of Palestine by the state of Israel which is being watched helplessly by the entire world. Before 1948, the Jews worldwide lived predominantly outside Palestine.They lived predominantly in easter...

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY                                By:                          May 19th, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Barring any last minute changes a "bill" for the recognition of an independent candidacy will be transmitted to Mr president for his "assent". In my thought, if the "bill" is finally "signed" into law it will largely "checkmate" the "excesses" of "governors" and "moneybags" politicians who often denied "credible" candidates "tickets"in order to pave ways for their "anointed" ones no matter their weaknesses. In our modern day politics, we have had enough cases where "credible", "competent", and "popular" candidates loss primary elections due to lack of "money" or "godfather" or state governor's anointment.  In my thought, allowing independent...

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES                         By              Nurudeen Dauda                May 5, 2019 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To begin with, there is now an alleged "drug cartel" in our airports which specialised in planting drugs on unsuspecting airtravellers. Of the six alleged members of the drug cartel arrested in connection with planting of Tramadol in a bag bearing Zainab Habibu Aliyu's name, three were said to be "clearing agents", two were said to be staff of a"security company" and one a staff of an "airline handling company". In my observation, the arrest of Miss Aliyu in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in respect of 2000 packs of "Tramadol" said to be found in a bag bearing her name has nothing , but succeeded in exposing our institutional weaknesses.Heads shoul...
