nairamaverick: these companies should be quoted on the stock exchange

The government is seriously working towards that. By 2015 this should happen

kingspin:
Acknowledging how capital-intensive telecoms infrastructure deployment is,
the NCC boss had recently said only MTN was making profits in the market. He
said other operators were still putting more investment in infrastructure rollout
to cover more locations in the country.

...and yet they are the most stingy of all network providers.

What's the point of this regulatory body, judging by the figures Nigerians are paying over the odds for data and calls

That is eh? If one man has four (4) lines - MTN, Glo, Airtel, Etisalat and Visafone .....you can be sure that by proxy he has additional four (4) to fend for . In addition to this, there are also BB subscriptions to battle with and Android data bundle to buy for those other four (4) proxy lines ....Naija and yet UN go say we de live below $1 a day.

mrprestige: See money. Well am aint surprise on the statistics, when someone will load 200# for Chioma, 200# for Nkechi and 100# for family members

Ok

billion o...Naijas get money biko. Wont doubt that for once cos ppl recharge and make call every minute...
NCC pls help reduce call tarrif for us callers so as N100 go reach 10mins.

What about Data usage?

sirjohnson: Mehn, this is Much

Na. N 636 per line per month is poor. Shows there's not much business going on in Nigeria. Take out non profit calls and data and you're probably down to N300 per month or N10 per day. Poor. How many serious seconds do Nigerians spend on their comm. devices.

Yeah, thats true o. Thank you Mr. Mathematician.

why do you think people like Mike Adenuga are so rich?

I cant recharge my Glo line...what's happening??

I know where this is headed. some Minister or Chairman of some waste committee will say this is good reason for subsidy removal

tchigofigo: gawd!!! dts y i dn't pity them when they suffer any technical hitch dt results in free calls, free data or hacked accounts and codes..esp, mumu emptyhen netwrk..and their jazz too strong, i'v found it difficult to dump'em,.cos if i do.,d figures in d nxt 5 months will be..N500bill nt N602bill..

So you make Calls worth N102bill. Bros take am Easy, you can lie for Africa.

Though I so hate MTN.

I dont see the much ado about this info... I still fink the figures are less compared to how much people spend for phonecalls in some countries like Turkey for instance... I spend about 80TL running my phone bills monthly which equals 40$ and 40$ equals five thousand Naira plus, nowh8 I am even a very prudent phone user so 40$ is on the lowside... what about chronic phone users?
meaning there are people who pay even 120$ phone bill or more? so whats the fuss?

kultimate009: Globacom with more subscribers than Etisalat Joke of the Year.... I probably have about 3 glo users in my contact list out of over 500 contacts....

The number of glo users in your contact cannot be used as a Yardstick to check their Nigerian Customer base. I particularly use glo and have lots of people who do.

I Think all these boils down to the number of years these network providers have stayed in Nigeria, Etisalat should have the lowest because they came recently as compared to the others.

If all of them started at the same time or close time frame, I don't think MTN would be the network of choice for most Nigerians.

NCC see MTN so many drop calls,and tell them to stop frauding Nigerians with their dumb loteery schemes its lies.

Imagine hw much those thieves called MTN are making from their various schemes,plus calls are still the highest in Nigeria,looking at their profit margins calls should be very cheap nw.

Toluchenko: Hello everyone!! I'm d newest guy on here.
Wishing myself a nice time on NL.
Guess u all wish me d same.
Peace!!!
Wow!! I hit first page on my first day...

u just come so...how u take know ftc...fp...??pipo wen de here since never even know how to hit fp...ftc...u eh...u can lie eh.....

Okijajuju1: And how many of those calls are good quality calls?!



Sometimes, people spend 100 Naira on calls that should not have lasted more than 10 Seconds because they are too busy moving around searching for signal and shouting 'Ehn!! Ehn!! Can you hear me?! Is it clear?! I'm sorry I cant hear you please Call me back..

make money from telecoms

FYI, MTN and Econet now Airtel started at the same time

not only that, they ordered telecoms company to increase price of calls to at least 12naira per minute

brownlord: Those Nigeria Criminals Commision NCC should shut the fvck up, they are the once conniving with the telecoms coy to exploit Nigeria's, why won't they make trillions with their deferent method of defrauding Nigerians.

Mtn send you text message of win million, win billions, with 100 naira per SMS, you answer 100 questions and you are still answering. We would be better without this NCC people.

Nigerian Telecom operators are just not loyal....
