That’s a Nigerian man for you. Always coveting what the white man owns. Covets his dollars, football clubs, country, women and the list goes on. Shame on you.

This is hilarious, what of other companies that left Nigeria. Anyone can spin this story.

Dstv ,multichoiice Nigeria made a loss of more than N70B and might leave Nigeria soon after their disastrous business year.

If the economy was growing strong no GSK would have left for Ghana.

Does it mean the investment banker cannot do a hostile takeover of GSK in Ghana market.

Is GSK so profitable than somebody would consider a hostile takeover.

So start another story spinning

In sane climes that are working such a man would be fished out and hanged on national TV in front of the whole nation...every leader will think twice before using impunity ...that's why countries like South Korea and the likes are developed.and his wealth will be given to the state.

Policies indirectly enforced by cabinet ministers contribute to high cost of DSTV services and the high cost is the reason for the drop in the DSTV's market share. People were stuck with DSTV when there was no option. Netflix and other pay-as-you-go platforms now give people the opportunity to resent DSTV. You pay heavily for data and talk time because of those same greedy ministers.

GSK UK is now acquiring the full shares. The boardroom fight between GSK UK and the Nigerians who own more GSK Nigeria shares has been reported by the Cable.

HeatSeeker:


So you are agreeing with him? Interesting...
No. I am asking anyone interested in it to go read the real account. This is not your usual gossip pepper soup, these are regulatory related. Shareholder ownership in companies are publicly available if you bother to find out and read.

The economy is seriously bleeds. Many companies are leaving by 2024 . Decisions to leave can be attributed to anything. Shoprite left GSK left ,Dunlop, all left. They left for Smaller
Several multinational companies have left Nigeria in recent years, citing a variety of reasons including economic instability, security concerns, and government policies. Here are some of the most notable examples:

This David Hundeyin guy isn't very intelligent and only impress his dull followers. This is the reason why he quickly block those who ask critical questions about his posts on tweeter. He is only comfortable with the Obidients, majority of whom aren't well educated and well informed.

1) By simple Boardroom Policies, GSK could have reduced their shares available for public trading e.g from 49% to 30%. So the so-called Cabinet member couldn't have taken over the company because, the highest shares he would be able to buy will be 30% (and it is not even possible for one person to buy all the traded shares).

2) GSK can exit the Nigerian Stock Exchange if they don't want certain people from buying into their shares that can lead to a hostile take over by transiting from GSK Nigeria Plc to GSK Nigeria Ltd, without pulling out of the country.

3) If they are afraid of hostile take-over by the so-called Cabinet Minister in Nigeria, can't such a person target their shares in London Stock Exchange or Johannesburg Stock Exchange?

4) Will GSK be running from every country when and if some Capitalists want to massively buy over their shares?

You made it sound so simple. That's how it usually is from a keypad. David may be right or not but a hostile takeover is not so easily brushed aside as you put it. Moreso when the hostile party is well connected and powerful in a country like Nigeria.
