“Remove your sim before sleeping, the thief cometh by night” – Check out the most hilarious tweets on the MTN credit drama

by Lekan Olanrewaju

Maybe it was delayed revenge for the Nigeria/South Africa deportation row, maybe it was the Illuminati; nobody knew but speculations were many over what led to the mysterious disappearance of airtime from the phones of many MTN customers, which subsequently led to ceaseless insults directed towards the company, as well as something of an attempt to mobilise people for a lawsuit (seriously). Check out the top ten tweets on the issue below.

(Editor’s Note: MTN has formally apologised for the incident and confirms this morning that the missing sums have been refunded)

@toluogunlesi: I knew the South Africans were gonna hit us back, somehow… #yellowfeverwahala #MTNonrampage

@penanpaypa: I’m sure mtn was singing “we go chop dia money, chop dia money iyeeh, chop dia money! We don’t care! We don’t care!”

@ttopsy Dnt forget 2 remove Ʊr sim b4 sleepn..d thief comet by nyt #MTN#;;)

@Toni__Tones: So basically @mtnng packed all our credit money and gave it to DavidO.

@gbengasesan: I hear @MTNNG is playing the “Easter Game” – crucify (take away) users’ credit on Friday and have it resurrect on Sunday. Happy Easter 🙂

@Ifreke: Maybe it is because we don’t give MTN enough ‘credit’ for being such a good network? #OkBye

@deolaaa: MTN, pls, remove my credit. I want to be cool. Thanks 🙂

@DicksonKalu: MTN just ended a 6-year relationship. D guy said he can’t trust his babe who refused 2 own up dt she used up his airtime

@Jamilah_IB: Class action against MTN:  Pls if u are affected & interested in suing, send ur name, address & nmbr to 07030166376 or [email protected]

Mtn did not refund everything to me,they stole my airtime twice,friday night and saturday morning and they only refunded the one they stole yesterday morning• I'm still waiting for them to credit my account with the airtime that disappeared mysteriously on friday night because I will not take it easy with them if they don't comply
