The news just went viral last week that the
Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, was planning to shut down
Blackberry services. Although the NCC almost immediately denied the
rumour, Blackberry users in the country are still nursing fears that
their cherished service may go under the knife of the regulator. Most of
them still insist that there is no smoke without fire.
Majority of them who expressed their opinions through pinging messages said that although the ban happened in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, there is no ground for its success in Nigeria.
Miss Morayo Adebayo - a student: Why would anybody ever thought of it! Banning Blackberry? Its not reasonable in anyway. But I know the way things go in Nigeria, there is no smoke without fire but the truth is that the device has done a lot of good than harm.
