Opening like a Hollywood movie, the new MTN Pulse advert starred popular singer and comedian, Falzthebadhguy, who is a delectable technology security expert contracted by other Nigerian telcos to stop the return of MTN Pulse at all cost.
Since he was unable to achieve this aim, he invited the telcos to brief them about the dashing speed at which young Nigerians are embracing the tariff plan. These telcos were clearly depicted or represented by their corporate colours- a red tie for Airtel, a light green undershirt for etisalat, and a Green tie for Glo.
Unfortunately for these telcos, MTN pulse is unstoppable as nearly everyone is catching the fever. They had no choice than to openly admit that they have lost to MTN. Even Falzthebadguy was handicapped as he decided to join MTN Pulse.
The panic was so much that the wig of the lady representing Etisalat flew off as the helicopter landed. At this stage, Tekno Miles, Skales and a lady alighted from a chopper as they approached the visibly confused telco representatives.
This new MTN advert is no doubt an appropriate reply to Airtel’s shade earlier this year. We always knew that MTN will get back at airtel and other networks. This reply was probably delayed by the fine slammed on the telco by the Nigerian Communication Commission.
The telco gaint has often been known for producing sterling and hilarious adverts. We all cannot forget how MTN usurped Saka from Etisalat in the porting battle among the telcos.
With this MTN Pulse advert, the question is now is whether Glo, Etisalat, or Airtel will respond to the shade. We are watching!
