South Africans have studied Nigeria; they know their way to the top and are capitalizing on our flaws to milk us dry.

Just imagine if all those Politicians that benefited in Dasuki gate had invested the money in establishing
companies in the country, unemployment in the country would have been abated

I just don't understand this phrase 'milk us dry'. It's not like south African companies (Mtn, Dstv, shoprite etc) are stopping other Nigerian indeginous companies from rising. It is business and whoever knows how to do it best wins. Shikena. MTN is the biggest telecommunication company in Nigeria. Dstv is the biggest cable TV in Nigeria. Shoprite is the biggest shopping complex. All south Africans. If u ask me they bring development to us, no need to be hating. The country is big and rich enough, but our people are greedy and lack business skills. So u cannot blame south African companies for having better understanding and management skills.

maestroferddi:
Are you serious?

How do I do that?

Like how much can I get from pawning it away?

lagosrd:


Go and pay up your penalty. I don't seriously know what this country is all about, someone who was sanctioned still has the audacity to buy another company in the same country. This will finally kill the CDMA market to sell their brand.

rman:


That is what they all fail to understand. They could not do it, lack the capacity to sustain those that were built and handed to them, then they turn around and blame those that has made a success of it.

Everything the Nigerian man sees in developed countries, he desires but theirs must come at no cost. That is why sometimes I do not blame politician that share money and food, they just understand the psych of Nigerians.

greenhulk:


Gbam. Sometimes I fear for the future of this country. Most people that visit nairaland are youths and supposedly leaders of tomorrow, but the way they reason make me fear.

moonraker:
hmmm a very sneaky business move by mtn..

Conspiracy Theory

Lets see so MTN figures that it wouldnt be able to pay the fine but recognizes that Nigeria is a hugh market

and leaving Nigeria totally will affect them as a company profit wise. so what do they do?

since the NCC havent actually suspended their services, they are still within their rights to continue doing business.

buy out visafone. Move mtn out of the country but still remit profits back to SA, Bravo MTN Anaconda call obey


Sorry lads, i will show myself out..

Kirinwa:
Really?

By being a stakeholder in visafone I think am entitled to be chairman of this occasion.
I would be back for further comments.

Meanwhile lalasticlacla you know how's its done.

Yes, visaphone had a good vision and structure but they lacked expansion as well as competent staff and strategists.

They had good call plans and tariffs. Why I stopped using them was not only that I had to travel down sometimes to their office to recharge. I didn't mind but finally my phone got spoilt. Imagine they didn't have technicians to repair it and demanded I give them money to transport it outside my state. Phone I bought cheaply then, about to cost me half of the price in repairs.
I painfully left their office and have not looked back since then, thanks to Etisalat.

Am I first to comment?!

Oga Seun credit me ooh.

I can assure you, in future, if private investors come and give us bullet trains that move from Lagos to Maiduguri in 3hrs and build a network of fast rails across the country, that can ensure a man living in Ibadan can conveniently work in Lagos or Minna because the journey by train is just 35mins, Nigerians will turn around and protest that the company is milking them dry the moment they know it is making money. They would never look at the transportation and opportunity to access cheaper accommodation and de-congestion of Lagos and other major cities it has solved. They will call on their government to fine it or shut it down, if the company is South African, they may even attack her Nigerian staff.

Shallow thinking people. I do not know how we got here, but the biggest job government has to do is massive reorientation, seriously , majority of Nigerian brains needs reformatting.

It is business and whoever knows how to do it best wins. Shikena. We have regulatory bodies , those companies pay their tax and have met every requirements to run their business in Nigeria. MTN is the biggest telecommunication company in Nigeria. Dstv is the biggest cable TV in Nigeria. Shoprite is the biggest shopping complex. All south Africans.

Thanks bro,a good business company keeps track of it's vision even when in tight corners.While political companies keep waiting for government favors.despite all the last controversies surrounding MTN,no competitor consolidated.They were busy celebrating the NCC fine.
