MTN REFUSES TO MEET UP WITH DEADLINE DATE OF DECEMBER 31

NCC would take a decision on Monday, after confirming that MTN did not pay the N780
billion fine before the close of work on deadline day, December 31,
2015.
A reliable source at the Commission, said: “I can confirm to you that
MTN did not pay the fine before close of work on the 31 December and
so the Commission will take a fresh decision on the issue Monday.
“The telecom operator actually went to court to challenge the fine and
the Federal Government has also lined up very respectable lawyers,
who also counter-sued the company.
“Both cases did not invalidate the fine, which means that MTN should
have honoured the payment deadline. But having not done so, we are
going to come up with a new decision on the fine by Monday.”
Reacting, MTN Nigeria’s External Relations Manager, Mr. Funso Aina
said that “when a case is in court, there is a limit to the comments
that could be made, suffice it to say that based on the lis pendens
rule (pending legal action) all parties are enjoined to restrain from
taking further action until the matter is finally determined.
“Notwithstanding the lawsuit, we will continue to engage with the
Nigerian Authorities to try and ensure an amicable resolution in the
best interests of the company, its stakeholders and the Nigerian
authorities. We urge our customers not to panic as we do not
envisage any disruption to our operations.”source

Yoga and celibacy key to living long according to Indian oldest man

Looking remarkably unlined for his claimed 120 years, an Indian monk who says he is the oldest man to have ever lived puts his longevity down to no sex or spices, and daily yoga. Hindu monk Swami Sivananda was born on August 8, 1896, according to his passport. If true, his life would have spanned three centuries, but despite his apparent age he remains strong enough to perform yoga for hours at a time. He is now applying to Guinness World Records to verify his claim. It currently lists Japan’s Jiroemon Kimura, who died in June 2013 aged 116 years and 54 days, as the oldest man to have ever lived. India’s passport authorities confirmed Sivananda’s age from a temple register, the only record many Indians even decades younger have of their date of birth. However it would be extremely difficult to independently verify his age. Sivananda was featured by local media earlier this summer, with the Times of India noting he looked 50 years younger than his apparent age but ...
