hi nairalanders, with the recent buying of v-mobile Nigeria by celtel, i think it will be profitable to the company and Nigerians.

what do you think?
Nigerians

infact its the best thing that will ever happen to vmobile. $1.5b is no small bucks. they've been having financial constraint thats why their expansion programme have not been drastic. u can imagine 3yrs old Glogacom closing MTN up wit more than 8million subcribers presently, while vmobile, the very 1st to hit the market is still struggling wit 5million subsribers. what a shame. celtel has a good track record so i'm sure they will put in a good fight.

i believe celtel has made a mistake and they better get ready to pay heavily for that.

What I see here is simply is a problem of 'vertical thinking' and they didn't get far.
Competition is all about creating an advantage and then, capitalizing on that advantage. What is the VISION behind this Company and where did they MISS it? Anybody knows?
To the best of my knowledge, the PRIMARY aim of business is 'creating customers' and KEEPING them. However with information at the finger tips of discerning consumers, businesses have to go the extra mile.
I guess they know what they're up against. The world is big enough.
