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

OTUN EKITI

Otun Ekiti is the Headquarter of Moba Local Government Area in Ekiti State. It is located to the North of Ekiti State. It is a nodal town which shares boundary with Kwara State to the North and Osun State to the West. History Of Otun Ekiti Tradition has it that the Oore emerged from the Okun Moba (Moba Sea) in the present coastal area of Lagos with a Calabash containing water in his hand, beads around his neck and a beaded crown on his head. It is also a fact of history that the people of Otun under the leadership of Oore have settled in different places at different times, including Moba near Mushin in Lagos and passing through Ile-Ife before they finally settled at their present location. Some of the places they passed through after Ile-Ife included Akure, Oke Olodun, and Ipole before moving to the present site over 400 years ago. The movement from Ipole (about six kilometers away) to settle at the present site was due to scarcity of water. Water supply was so problematic at Ipole...

Language and Culture Of Ekiti People

Language & Culture The Ekiti is a sub-group of the Yoruba , and indeed their ancestors migrated from Ile-Ife, the spiritual home of all Yoruba . The local dialect is spoken with slight variations in the different communities, but this does not prevent Ekiti indigenes from understanding each other. Christianity, Islam and traditional religions are all practiced. The people of Ekiti are culturally homogenous and speak a special dialect of Yoruba language known as Ekiti. The dialect however varies across locations, e.g. Otun people (in Moba land) speak a dialect close to that of the Igbominas in Kwara and Osun States; the Oke-Ako, Irele and Omu-Oke people speak a dialect similar to that spoken by the Ijumus in Kogi State. The people of Efon Alaaye also speak a similar dialect to that of the Ijesas of Osun State. Although slight (and in very few locations, somewhat wide) variations exist in the local dialects, the Ekiti people understand each other and communicate pretty well. Poli...
