9jaRealist: I am surprised that someone turned your freaking mic on. You let a fool have a mic, he thinks he's the cat's meow. You're very juvenile with that emojis. When you can't express yourself and need gap fillers, you resort to emojis! |

9jaRealist:The case of Michelin and Dunlop is quite different. Perhaps you should read up on why they folded up in Nigeria. And I am not necessarily talking about local providers. The Nigerian market is probably the major market in Africa. The competition with Orange, Vodacom, etc in Ghana, South Africa and other African countries is one major reason MTN cannot afford to lose Nigeria with its massive market share. It is funny how you could say DStv already has competitors in Nigeria. I would have argued that no Nigerian could say such but then again... Just so you know, DStv is running a monopolized market in Nigeria. While the other petty cables show the Bundesliga, and Serie A, Multichoice is the only one with the rights to air the Premiership. How then is this a fair competition? Should South African companies get shown the door in Nigeria, which I am praying for, local providers will conveniently thrive at a steady pace. Perhaps you didn't know one of the major reasons why most of the so called competitors don't last is because of some deliberate actions by certain people in Government doing the bidding of these foreign companies in Nigeria. You'd be amazed at how their would be new companies begging for operating licenses should South African companies get the kick. Bharti Airtel will no doubt revel the day it happens. 3 Likes |

9jaRealist: I do not have to clean my lingo especially when dealing with your kind. You know why? Because I know when I am dealing with a fool and know the language that he understands. And when I'm dealing with someone decent and with enough sense, I speak to him accordingly. So, now in the moment that I am dealing with you, it would be out of norm and ethical malpractice to accord you any respect or dignity albeit in my use of the language since that's not what you're used to. Why bother? |

Sanchez01: Exactly how is it “unfair”? They bought and paid for the rights... You apparently didn’t know (or forgot) that Hi-TV once bought and own same rights - and it was a DISASTER. And just btw, it’s no different from NBC owning EPL rights in the US... Or Skysports in the UK itself, or BeIN Sports in the Middle East. That’s basic ‘free’ market COMPETITION. Meanwhile, you didn’t explain why you classify the case of the tire manufacturers as different... But I fail to see the difference. 2 foreign investors left and were not replaced by local or foreign investors. Nigeria is admittedly a GREAT market for MTN and I doubt they’ll leave unless forced to (hence why they opted to pay the mega-fine and to list on the local bourse), but Nigerians should not overplay this so-called “huge” market narrative. We are presently the World’s Capital of Extreme Poverty (which means the largest absolute and percentile numbers of people living in extreme poverty) and growing, with little or no indices that the ruling class has the foggiest idea how to reverse the trend. It doesn’t necessarily affect a company like MTN that much because SIM cards are relatively dirt cheap, but the brutal reality is that with hordes of well-educated skilled and middle-class Nigerians emigrating in droves, effective consumer demand is way much SMALLER than the supposedly huge population numbers would ordinarily suggest. In fact, by most estimates it’s not more than 5 million effective demand for leisure and luxury (ie, non-essential) goods and services. Nigeria requires MASSIVE foreign (together with domestic) investment to create the millions of jobs it’s ever-growing population desperately and even to finance infrastructure (that would further engender investment and productivity). Arbitrarily kicking and/or expropriating the country’s single BIGGEST (non-hydrocarbon) foreign investors for events beyond their control and in which they have absolutely NO direct (or even indirect) link or nexus to sends the worst possible signals to any and all foreign investors contemplating in this country which already has an appalling reputation for poor infrastructure, rampant efficiency, often poorly-educated and skilled work force and spectacular corruption. > |

I closed my MTN line since 2017. Once I receive a call from anyone, I immediately inform the caller that I'm no more using that line. At the end of this month, my GOtv will be relegated too. Right now I see South Africans as the most barbaric set of people on earth. I wish our parents did not contribute all those 1kobo they sent to them during that apartheid period. |
