MTN Deregisters, Forced to Reregister Buhari’s Line.

By
President Muhammadu Buhari lost the use of his mobile number acquired from

telecommunications company, MTN Nigeria, Monday, when his line was
deactivated, for failing to register the line fully.

Sources at the Villa Told THE BRIEF that DSS agents went into a frenzy,
when the President’s mobile phone carrying an MTN SIM card, went dead.

MTN was immediately contacted on the issue, to which the DSS was told that
the line was among those deregistered by the company for incomplete
registration.

Subscribers on the network who were yet to fully register their lines
before the end of January, were pummeled with more than 10 notifications
daily, asking them to complete the process, or lose all functions on the
network.

A source from the MTN office in Abuja confirmed the incident to THEBRIEF,
saying the act was expected, as not only the President’s line was
deactivated, on the day.

The source told our correspondent that the deactivation process was
automatic, and did not respect the subscriber’s political or social
status.

The DSS, had to hurriedly bring MTN staffers to the Villa, to reregister
Buhari’s line.

Calls placed to Presidential Spokesman Femi Adesina, to ascertain if the
action of MTN was as a result of the N1.04trn fine the Federal Government
placed on the company for failing to register some of its subscribers,
and selling out pre-registered SIM Cards, proved abortive, as calls were
not responded to, and text messages were not replied.

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

By
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
