Apart from Glo, I know most of you have been using this networks of MTN, Airtel and Etislat for years without knowing who their founders are,

Now for those of you that always complain of poor networks from those network providers, meet their founders(CEO), so you can properly channel your grievance to them whenever their network is slow or zaps your data.

1. MTN – The CEO of MTN is the person of Sifiso Dabengwa, the company founded in 1994, MTN is a South-African company with headquarter in Johannesburg

2. Airtel – The CEO of Airtel is Indian Gopal Vittal, the company founded on July 1995. Though the founder is Sunil Bharti Mittal and hence the name of the company you hear as Bharti Airtel.

Remember that the company in the name Airtel has been sold couple of times to different GSM network companies before Bharti Airtel took over-an Indian Company with headquarter in New-Delhi…Airtel former owners are as follows Econet, V-Mobile, Celtel, Zain and now Airtel.

3. Glo – The CEO of Glo as most of you down here already know is in the person Chief Mike Adenuga… Glo is an indigenous Nigerian company founded on 29th of August 2003 with headquarter in Lagos, Nigeria.

4. Etisalat – The last in our list is Etisalat and the CEO is Ahmed Abulkarim Mohd Julfar, Etisalat was founded in 1976 in the United Arab Emirate and with headquarter in Abu-Dhabi

Cool info. All these companies, save for Glo, have done well by surviving the first 20 years of their existence. Especially Etisalat. These are the kind of businesses one needs to own - if you know what I mean. Hehe grin

MTN, ETISALAT, AND AIRTEL are all doing well except GLO which has died a natural death. whenever I pick up my phone I hardly see GLO numbers on it. Besides of all the networks GLO has the poorest and worst service. I cannot wish my enemy GLO.

So is this article promoting patronization of Nigerian-made? Don't get me wrong it won't be a bad idea anyways. We can give licenses to Nigerians n the govt can help fund it, thereby reducing the tax on the local companies and that in turn will reduce the call tarrifs, and that in turn will increase employments n investments cos our money stays in our country n not wired away to India or SA

Every sensible Nigerian should have a glo line.

As Nigerians we must support our own.

That is what works for the Indians and south africans.

I am buying a glo sim in kaduna today.


Until glo gets to the USA
