In the middle of this shakedown of MTN by the Nigerian Senate for repatriated funds, Joachim Ebong is asking an important question.

See below:

It will take Nigeria a while to find two foreign businesses as committed to this country as MTN and Shoprite. E go tey gan.

For contrast, MTN has paid N1.4 TRILLION in taxes since 2001. How much tax has Dangote paid to the country he has gotten so much from?

While this 'foreign' company pays its fair share of taxes, our homegrown billionaire takes delight in unjustifiable 'pioneer status'.

But Nigeria will not be Nigeria, if we didn't drag the company that pays its taxes through the mud.

If Dangote and MTN ceased all operations TODAY, those affected by MTN's departure will be far more. Make no mistake.

N1.86 trillion in revenues. N1 trillion in profits. TWELVE BILLION in taxes. https://t.co/ElLghCuU16

Dangote pays his taxes direct to political parties and politicians. https://t.co/PI7FjPI2QK

@IsimaOdeh i feel he should pay less as a citizen. Foreign companies should pay more. *my opinion*

Nigerians will only protest monopoly when DSTV is mentioned. When Dangote does it, it's "job creation"
