Read this story as far back as 2010.The prominent local business man he spoke of is Oba Otudeko, the same person that has almost run First bank and ETI aground with bad and fraudulent loans.

always talking like an advanced outbecile, pick ur northerners who are not corrupt, check major corruption case dey are from d north, Ibori developed delta State unlike ur northerners who can't build schools for ur almajiris

Goodness! Dude......are you seriously for real? THIS is your response? "Ehn, the Northern politicians too are corrupt", dude are you not ashamed of this response? So because Northern politicians are corrupt, Southern Politicians too should be corrupt? I wonder what you would think if the Northern politicians set their people on fire! Is this the kind of mentality you want your kids to adopt?

God, how did I end up sharing this country with people like these?

This is how this wicked men destroy our country, our nation with their greed.
Only God knw how many jobs Nigerian teeming jobless nd unemployed youths would ve gotten 4rm econet.
The countless opportunities we ve lost as a nation because of our greedy politicians.
I remember that mr Strive Masiyiwa had discussed this extensively on his facebook page about a year or two ago.
I always follow all his post and entrepreneural teachings. Very educative nd insightful. I recommend them for every entrepreneur out there.
It's just so sad we lost such a great opportunity as a nation.

If you worked with econet those days you'll know this story get k leg

Ibori ask for bribe or not.

These people brought technical college graduates and made them bosses over people with masters degrees here mind you not even in core departments o

Then you should have seen these leeches after paying them armed robber salaries everything they used for themselves from lunch to taxis outside work hours they would requisition abeg the man should swerve if Na you invest money they way delta state did then and heard all this you no go vex?

Guess ibori showed him who the bigger person was. If this isn't a selective attack why can't he mention the other business man? All these people feeling they can be all moralistic by running others down ...guy swerve go and lick your wounds somewhere else.

Tell me the major deals anywhere in the world such things no dey happen?

This guy is just a bloody sore loser

Except that you demonstrated ignorance of Econet being Airtel today.

Econet -> Vodacom -> Vee Networks (V-Mobile)-> Celtel-> Zain-> Airtel-> ?

They sent Strive's team away from the management not sending the company away. I'm not aware he has even sold his stake.

Really? That's your excuses? "deals like these happen anywhere in the world"? And you're not covered in shame just typing that? Dude, you basically just justified corruption! And with these same fingers, you would accuse someone else of corruption!

Really, with people like you, should we be asking why Nigeria is in its current state?

The problem with this is not if one company survived or not. The problem is that our leaders are willing to lose opportunities that would benefit the masses and the country if doing so would serve their selfish personal interests or massage their egos. Econet may hay have survived in various forms to become Airtel but God alone knows how many companies have folded up just because those who should create an enabling environment for them to survive and thrive are to blinded by greed and self-centeredness and/or those leading the companies have become enmeshed in the cesspool of corruption that is the Nigerian political system!

Ibori demanded 4.5 million out of 9 million. Who's the person that demanded the rest? Why is he hiding the other person? Probably the person still had control ?

Could be the national leader of our ruling party?

Ibori demanded for $9 million dollars from you to do what exactly.I know Ibori was governor when Econet got the first GSM license and I know tens of millions of Delta state govt money was used.In fact DTSG was a major shareholder,so was Ibori asking this man to start refunding thevmobey DTSG pumped into Econet or what
It's so easy for him to just throw that shifty bribe story out there after all Ibori is an ex con and everybody is expected to buy that Vick and bull story.

This caught my attention and i don't know how to react to these criminals called politicians. They make selfish decisions not for the people but themselves. Who know what might have been if Econet was still in the country. Maybe the phone tariff maybe cheaper than it currently is base on logistic and competition.
