 Aggrieved subscribers sue MTN and ETISALAT in Nigeria

 

 Aggrieved subscribers whose lines were allegedly wrongfully deactivated have sued MTN Nigeria Communications Limited and ETISALAT Nigeria.

The aggrieved subscribers are seeking a declaration that the defendants had mutilated their social status by not only wrongfully deactivating their lines but by also leaving voice prompts for caller, stating that their lines have been barred due to incomplete information.

They also accused the telecoms companies of trading in their phone numbers without their consent and relaying their bio data to marketing companies, which inundate them with unsolicited calls and text messages.

Dont you think the telecoms companies should be made to compensate subscribers.

Share your opinion on this issue.

 Yisa’s ultimate goal has been to establish an identity that would be recognized by art lovers internationally. 

That identity would include the distinctiveness and excellence of his work and the attention he can bring to the sources of his professional achievement. Through his innovative technique, one can tell that his goal is progressively being attained.

 Born in 1972, Nairobi, Kenya, Lives and works in New York 
 Untitled, 2004: Mixed media collage and painting on vellum: 44.5 x 47cm
 
In Untitled, Wangechi Mutu creates a glamorous, yet barbaric centrefold. 
 In picturing female sexuality, Mutu offers a futuristic totality of womanhood that’s both fiery and liberated. Comprised of motorcycle parts, she’s a machine built for speed: corpulent, sexy, with the dazzling power creation.





 

 Backlash Blues: 2004: ink, acrylic, photocollage, contact paper, on mylar: 198 x 119.4 cm

Painted on mylar, Wangechi Mutu’s Backlash Blues conveys an otherworldly quality: the paint and ink suspends on the plasticy vellum-like surface with an unnatural luminosity.

 Using a variety of techniques from airbrush to stencilling, controlled spills, and detailed brushwork, Mutu’s image poses as a composite of gesture; collaged photographic elements merge seamlessly into the painterly aesthetic.
