Giant Telecommunications Company, Etisalat Disowns ‘Uche, Face Your Work’ Customer Care Call

 

Giant telecommunications company, Etisalat has disowned an alleged comic, Etisalat customer care call going viral on social media.
Speaking with ENCOMIUM Weekly on Friday, February 7, 2014, Chineye Amanfo, spokesperson of the telecommunications company reacted to the alleged call, “We are aware of the telephone conversation from the so called Etisalat customer care personnel. We are currently investigating the matter but it is not a commercial from Etisalat. All our commercials are handled by our agency and it will be duely signed before it can be released”.

A couple of days back, a hilarious phone conversation between an alleged Etisalat customer care agent and a purported subscriber, who just ported to the network went viral on social media.

 

The routine call which lasted two and half minutes had Uche, the alleged Etisalat agent communicating with a supposed subscriber known as Abdulraman Bakare. Unfortunately, Abdulraman’s wife was the one that picked the call.

In the conversation that ensued, the woman warned Uche to face her work and stop trying to steal people’s husband. She even further threatened to show up at Etisalat’s office to report Uche to the management of the company. Throughout the conversation, Uche remained polite, firm and professional in her dealing with the woman.
Since the communication went viral, different comic photographs, write ups and comments have flooded the social media about the conversation.
They include Every Uche Omise on my matter, please face your work. My pikin, I say let me ask you, do MTN call people like that, why this Uche no wan face her work. My name is Uche and I am innocent in this matter.”
ENCOMIUM Weekly’s checks revealed that no agency has laid claim to the commercial. However, speculations abound that the commercial might have come from competitors and distractors who are adapting measures on how to cope with the competitive market.
