I doubt this news. Visafone is rich itself. The owner is a rich man and he owns different companies. I don't see him selling of his biggest assets
Not as rich as MTN. You got to respect MTN, they have acquired so much by stealing from Nigerians.

Wasn't there a time they wanted to acquire Etisalat?

I just hope government can do something about these companies poor internet services.

Not surprised. The business is due for sale. Visafone has just refused to take-off. This is one business I know Jim Ovia must have regretted going into.

I think the issue is visaphone refused to tap into the opportunities the cdma offers although many cdma platforms . Maybe they should have been investing more in the mobile data aspect ,that is where the gold mine would be very soon . If mtn takes over,they won't scrap it but they will make sure visaphone data takes a more robust look and better service . This will give mtn a larger share in our telecom market.

Visafone is rich how, na u put money for their pocket.. For your info Visafone has been a big burden for Jim Ovia in the last three years where they have seen active subscriber base deep to almost zero . The will gladly sell to MTN ..

I know VISAFONE is being sold, but the company was not revealed to us.

Visafone just sacked lots of her Staff last month.

VISA is the only functional CDMA company in Nigeria, all other CDMA Telcos are dead due to competition.

Agbegilodo:


My dear friend. ... Please don't venture into business as your post has displayed that you have egocentric tendencies. .
The fact that the owner is rich has nothing to do with the potential sale of the company. If the offer is right, he will sell the company and move on. What stops him from using the money to set up some other business franchise? ??

He is among people who see things from the outside without knowing the true state of the business.

I am sure I will be among the 2.2 m subscribers on Viasphone platform for a line I used for only 4 months and dropped it off since 2010.
