Its so sad that when a company is being acquired most times a lot of the staff get sacked. Its worse in this case because these people didn't see the sack coming
How did you know they didn't see it coming?
Even smart and aware outsiders knew Visafone was struggling and enmeshed in all sorts of turmoil.

Since MTN is the new owner of visafone, I have no choice but to do away with the visafone line which I use for browsing. Can somebody suggest a good network for my computer apart from MTN.

In Liar-in-chief's voice:

Blame GEJ grin grin
PROVACATEUR:
I only blame buhari

Rather than blame your friends GEJ and Buhari.....blame the following

1.Visafone is the last of the CDMA companies in Nigeria....a group that once included companies like Reltel,Starcomms, Zoom,Intercellular, etc.

2.One by one all the companies went bust for the following reasons....Visa is the last

3.First....they got regionalised licences....while GSM companies like MTN got nationwide licences. In other words...a CDMA company got a licence to operate in say the South West....while MTN got a licence to operate across Nigeria. By 2007...when this was rectified....it was too late.

4.Most of these companies failed to expand.While MTN was doing yello in tiny remote villages 99% of the country knows nothing about....many CDMA companies....were busy focusing on city. (Rule no 1 of business....you must expand in order to expand).

5.And many of them were badly managed....and invested in bad investments. (If you are a phone company, you are a phone company,not a oil company or a biscuit company!)

watin concern Buhari for this matter? Are you blaming Buhari for allowing Jim Ovia to sell his personal property? Or blaming Buhari for allowing MTN buy visa fone?

You igbos have run out of excuse. This is getting shameful for the entire tribe of "empty-24 hours-ultimatum".

If you have sense, you should have blame our weak "labor law" but i think MTN or Visa fone didn't break any law.

The lesson is, NEVER BE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR POSITION WHILE WORKING FOR OTHERS, make sure you establish yourself and expect any eventuality.
Establish your wife in a profitable business and expand your income stream.. Then avoid ostentatious lifestyles
Nigeria is in economic mess today because of its total dependence on oil..

If you live in the Lagos or Abuja area... a Spectranet internet plan (dongle or wireless) is a good idea.

And among the other GSM networks....Etisalat stands out.
