MTN came to Nigeria at a time when nobody
wanted to invest in Nigeria, at a time when
Nigerians did not have
phones. Even Zenith Bank
refused to loan MTN cash to operate, UBA
rejected MTN’s offer but today see the
difference. At least we all know the story of the
latest elected President in
Nigeria - Muhammadu
Buhari. We know how the
people said he was not
going to be President; they even ran partisan
comments about him. Today the rest is history.
What about Cowbell? When they came to Nigeria,
they made milk
in a sachet, Peak was laughing at them - they
said Cowbell was milk for the poor - but they
were right! 3-million poor people could afford N10
a day for a sachet of milk. Now, do the math
-3million people buying milk at N10.00- that was
N30million every single day. In a month they
grossed N900million
(almost N1billion).
Even Peak had to make sachet milk in order to
survive in the market. So what have people told
you? What have they said you can not do, or you
do not qualify for,
or you do not have experience for? They told
Cowbell, they told Buhari, they told MTN, but
today the story has changed.
