MTN's sponsored programmes are seen as another means of exploitation, Is it the 'Who wants To Be a Millionaire?' where very many people send texts first at N200 but later reduced to N100. Imagine how many people would send text only for very few of them to be picked. Or is it the current one where you are asked to text 'Treasure' at a cost of N100 to win N1m?
To me, I think it's the abject poverty that has struck our very existence that gave them-MTN and others like that ample opportunity. For instance, look at 'Idol West Africa' sponsored by the then Celtel, Nigeria, what becomes of the winner other than empty promises up till now.
No wonder, Mr. Anike Chibuzo Charles, Ethnic Reformer & National Director, Ebadai-Ereca World Wide said in the Monday November 10 2008 publication of the National Mirror newspaper that EFCC should probe MTN Lottery. In his words..'MTN instead of helpin' to develop the youths and upliftin' the Nigerian society positively by sponsorin' and encouragin' academic research programmes, which is the hallmark of meaningful development; It rather defrauds the talents of the youths by misdirectin' and reducin' them to mere street dancers'....
