All telecom providers should go to hell. Why are they complaining? Have they forgotten years back how they sold a SIM at exorbitant rate as high as 70k, 50k and 30k. Then Nigerians were blind flooded and they were making mush money. Now that we are wise that a SIM now cost 100# and they have lots of competitors, they are complaining. Is this another way to bamboozled us again? Pls telecom companies should just do their business and ignore sympathy because we know how mush you spend and how mush you make. |

Afrocatalyst:bros,well said. But this isn't possible in Nigeria at this era of ours. Some power drunk bizman who supply diesel to this companies and the country at large will not make this see the light of the day because of their own selfish interest. Femi Otedola (Zenon oil) has hand in the country's eractic power supply. |

jnrbayano:Sorry to derail. Is your company recruiting staff to be deployed to Aba? |

Thanks, but what happens now that the power is becoming stable |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by obyrich(m): 6:32am On Aug 24, 2015 |
jnrbayano:Thanks so much. Someone called me few days ago asking me to help him recruit 10 maintenance engineers for a new contract with I.H.S ( They just acquired MTN infrastructures). He claimed he was from your company. I've been doubting the authenticity of his claim. Thanks once again. |

Solar power is a good choice. |

They are jokers! Why can't they install solar units? After all their are 15KVA inverters. With 5-7million they can power one single bases for 5years without buying fuel. |

Consultville: We have filling stations and we run a gen evryday, thats 40 litres tops everyday, while I agree that its on the high side, you have to bare in mind that these guys charge the highest for services 70 percent of which arent rendered at all, they enjoy near monopoly status in the country evade taxes, and engage in capital flight as all their profits are shipped to their home countries abroad, the only thing we get from them are the paltry wages and occasional handouts no thing more, theres no development , no tech transfer, imagine even things like bottled water are imported from sa, so our local content is excluded from their business. |

bushdoc9919: Even at that they still make a hell lot of money. If they make times ten of what they spend it is still a wonderful investment. Were you expecting them to rip off all Nigerians more than they are already doimg before you know they are hitting it big. Did they not know about these expenditures before they ventured into the biz. If the business isn't viable they would have long quitted. No oyibo company ever does anything without commensurate proceeds. |

Consultville: please tell your people to go and get solar panel installed to generate electricity , its cheaper and cleaner ..and common sense |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by ooshinibos: 7:43am On Aug 24, 2015 |
jcmaiah:exactly , that's what I just told them , solar panels is the best way , it is getting cheaper and cleaner, I recently installed 14 panels for my house , cost me about 2.5 million , 3 years ago , it was 6 millions |

Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by owobokiri(m): 10:11am On Aug 24, 2015 |
bushdoc9919: Wrong analysis Their much talked about running costs can never justify the exhorbitant charges and extortions that characterise their very poor services to Nigerians. . |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by nenergy(m): 10:15am On Aug 24, 2015 |
bushdoc9919:You're a very logical homosapien. Na sound, unbiased and analytical minds like yours we need for 9ja! |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by dayodare49o: 10:17am On Aug 24, 2015 |
jaybee104:in 2008 I read three of them made 700 billions naira. Etisalat had not started operation and fewer nigerians were using phone then if will make adjustment by now they will be making close to 2 trillions naira. That is half of fed govt tax, that is more than lagos annual revenue, that is more than ten states alloation in a year they are thieves they are still stealing from poor nigerians |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by Nobody: 10:47am On Aug 24, 2015 |
jnrbayano: After you kill your workers with very long work hours. There are qualified jobless nigerians and yet you won't hire more personnels. |

mtn makes at least 1billion naira in recharge cards sale per day....so 175million is no biggie |

Why not go Solar to cut cost? |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by Swiftboy(m): 12:52pm On Aug 24, 2015 |
rman:you singled out that statements to address the whole comment. Read again the made 500 billion naira profit. I say again Profit. Minus every input from output. 500 billion naira profit is like 2 point something billion dollars. Thats not bad for a cooperation. How many companies make that much within a calender year in Nigeria? |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by rman: 1:02pm On Aug 24, 2015 |
Swiftboy: Industry is different from industry. Same way u can't blame Apple for making billion dollar profits. Telecoms industry is so volatile and flexible that, what seems profitable today will burn your fingers tomorrow. Investors study trends and the trend for telecoms in Nigeria is downwards. We can all help fast track the collapse it or face reality and make it survive. If it was so profitable and easy, why did NITEL and MTEL fail? |

bushdoc9919: You forgot something VERY important! They pay AGBERO and OMO ONILE on every diesel discharged and every time the gate is opened for servicing either the tower or generator. I weep for my country! |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by luorquay: 2:07pm On Aug 24, 2015 |
So they spend this much in a day!! Why not all GSM operators (Glo, Mtn, Eti, Airtel) come together, pull resources together and help Nigeria work out the issue of power in the country as this would go a long way in solving their own problems as well.............Na onlu to charge excessively on calls and bill us die on data plan dey sabi |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by laudate: 7:59pm On Aug 24, 2015 |
jnrbayano: What type of power solutions? Are you talking about solar systems or gas-powered systems? And what kind of 'retrofitting,' do you carry out at the base stations? |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by laudate: 8:03pm On Aug 24, 2015 |
socialmediaman: Na God I take beg you... don't bring tax into this issue! Many of our tax officials are soulless, clueless, greedy neanderthals whose sole aim is to cripple a business, especially if such a business is an SME. Their criteria for tax assessment is as changeable as the weather. And a lot of them are so corrupt, that it is mind boggling! Thanks to the antics of tax officials in Lagos, a lot of businesses have closed down and moved to Ogun State, next door. Maybe Fowler was appointed to head FIRS in order to replicate the Alpha beta nonsense they did in Lagos. |
