PrinceOfLagos:

I am not Igbo and yeah, Obi is already the flag bearer of Labour party for 2023 general elections.

Why is APC making a fool of Tinubu?

Nawao, ordinary screening don carry over 20 topics on frontpage. The primary election will have to shutdown the site.

This apc matter ehh, e nor clear at all o

Ttalk:


Slaveoflagos, why are you so obsessed with anything Tinubu. What becomes of you if Tinubu eventually win the primary. The insanity that has clouded you require a spiritual intervention. How can an adult be so confused that he can't chose his fight.

Where is your GEJ consensus candidate in APC, where is your Peter Obi the flawless one from the East? Your anyone but Tinubu will destroy your life.

he's the prince of Lagos
accord some respect

Corporate2020:


We have told you severally that we have Plan-B, and Plan-C, it shouldn't be a surprise when we pull the rug under Buhari and his cabal. We will turn them back to their unpopular CPC and ANPP. Only a Southern candidate will be accepted.

If the idiots give it to an Easterner, then we will accept it and move on. But any consensus that produces another Fulani/Hausa/Kanuri Almajari will be rejected

Hypocrite. Stop mentioning Easterners. We do not have any pact with you. Face you Fulani slave masters giving it to you rough from the back

Corporate2020:


Buhari cannot sideline Tinubu. Instead, we will turn the APC back to CPC and ANPP by leaving the party for them. Let's see how many votes they can gather. A man can build a house, and later decided to abandon the house if his children decide to behave like bastards. That is why you see several abandoned houses in your village.

It seems you are a learner in Nigeria politics. If Tinubu try it EFCC will visit his file. Infact he will ever regret playing national politics

.

PrinceOfLagos:

I have no answers to your question but I trust Buhari got plans and Tinubu ain't part of the future plans for APC

As Buhari confidant or mouthpiece? Omo Irankiran, ati oko wa ba ile je.. Tinubu isn't the cause of your generational misfortunes. Your father can't even attend a village meeting in Imo state not to talk of aspiring to become a councilor. Tinubu is already made, think about your life, how you will stop selling Gala in Lagos traffic.

Amumaigwe:


Hypocrite. Stop mentioning Easterners. We do not have any pact with you. Face you Fulani slave masters giving it to you rough from the back

Omoluabis will not have any pact with drug pushers, fake drugs manufacturers, and products of baby factories.

However, whether we fight or we agree, Southerners have a common origin. There is a strong root that Yorubas, Edo, Itshekiri, Ijaw, Urhobo, Igbos, Efiks, Ibiobio share.

So, we will fight. We will settle. We will fight again. Then we settle again

Corporate2020:


Buhari cannot sideline Tinubu. Instead, we will turn the APC back to CPC and ANPP by leaving the party for them. Let's see how many votes they can gather.

Don't be like those empty barrel, we don't make threat, we don't chestbeat. We always keep our plans to ourselves till when it's time to act.

Then from what you stated above, it also implies that if the consensus favors Osibanjo, you won't have issues with that.

You are a man.

Nigerian youths please read and remember. Econet ran out of Nigeria because of corruption.



The year was 2001, two years after Olusegun Obasanjo was elected President of Nigeria. His government announced an incredibly transparent international auction process for three national mobile phone licenses. One of the major requirements was there had to be a member of the bidding consortium who was an experienced GSM operator. Econet Wireless met the requirements because of its experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Strive Masiyiwa, CEO of Econet then assembled a consortium of 22 investors ( which included state governments, local banks and high net worth individuals) to raise money to bid for the $285 million GSM license, which he later described as “the most expensive license ever issued in Africa.”

Econet won the bid and was granted a Digital Mobile License (DML), which birthed Econet Wireless Nigeria. Econet Wireless Nigeria immediately set up shop and started operations, gaining an estimated 57% market share in a short period, despite the existence of competition. All seemed to be running smoothly until Masiyiwa was asked to pay about $9m in ‘bribes’ to senior politicians in different state governments, who had facilitated the fundraising to pay for the license.

According to Masiyiwa’s social media post years later, he did not authorize the payments and this invoked the wrath of James Ibori, Delta State Governor at the time. “He was one of the most powerful politicians in the country and had a reputation for getting what he wanted at any cost”, remarked Masiyiwa. The Governor made good on his threat and without justification, the shareholders met and voted Econet Wireless Nigeria out of management, effectively cancelling their contract.

Econet was almost driven into bankruptcy, causing them to withdraw about 200 foreign staff and they left Nigeria for good. Tech Giants Vodacom took over the reins of leadership as technical partner and operator.

VODACOM – a company that ended before startingDuration: 1 Month and 26days (April 1st 2004 – May 27th 2004)

South Africa’s largest cellular network operator, Vodacom took over control in 2004 by taking a majority stake in the cash-strapped Nigerian operator. It was alleged that they had bribed their way into running operations in the Country. Although there was no evidence to conclude that the new operators paid the ‘bribes’, Masiyiwa insists in his blog that he has access to documentation showing that they paid the money. It was on this basis that he would later write a letter to the United States Department of Justice.

Not much information is publicly available about the events that led to the exit of Vodacom in such a short while, without even having the opportunity to run operations despite the huge population of Nigeria. Many years later, however, the CEO of Vodacom South Africa, Alan Knott-Craig, on his retirement would point to leaving Nigeria as his greatest regret.

V-MOBILE NIGERIA – It’s all about youDuration: 2 Years (2004 – 2006)

Within a couple of months, Vodacom left the wheels and management changed hands again to Vee Networks. With Vee Networks as the new manager, the company’s name was changed to V-mobile and it launched a rebranding campaign in 2004.

The change of name and new slogan was to assure customers that the change of management could only be in their interest. The campaign branded the telco as the network for the Nigerian people, with the catchphrase being “It’s all about you”. According to the company, all of its investors were Nigerian-based, including three state governments – Lagos, Delta, and Akwa Ibom.

The new managers also retained quite a number of Vodacom’s South African staff, with some of Econet staff as board directors.

The network continued operations until 2006 when it was bought over by Celtel for US$1.005 billion. Before this acquisition, V-Mobile had already grown the subscriber base from less than 1 million to over 5 million subscribers in two years – the most significant growth the company had witnessed under management at the time.

Then came CELTELDuration: 2 Years (2006 – 2008)

In May 2006, exactly two years after Vee Networks took over the reins with all its corresponding campaigns, Celtel communications acquired V-mobile for $1.005 billion and gained a controlling share of 65% ownership. Celtel didn’t just buy V-Mobile Nigeria but all V-Mobile outlets across 15 African Nations.

The transaction covered the purchase of existing shares and a substantial equity injection expected to boost Vmobile’s financial ability to realize its growth potential.

Celtel International, formerly MSI Cellular Investments and a subsidiary of MTC Group and a leading mobile operator in Africa was thus going to expand its presence to Nigeria, making a total of 15 countries. However, Celtel didn’t find success during its stay in Nigeria, which led to another its take over and a complete name change.

Another takeover – ZAINDuration: 2 Years (2008 – 2010)

In 2008, Kuwaiti mobile telecommunications company, Zain Group, completed its acquisition of all Celtel International’s shares of over $3 billion – a 100% acquisition. Two years earlier, the Zain Group had earlier acquired 85% stakes in Celtel International and its 14 African subsidiaries in May 2005 in a $2.84 billion deal

With the completion of this acquisition, all of Celtel’s operations in Africa were rebranded into Zain. This marked the end of Celtel in Africa and not just in Nigeria.

The new brand became popular with Nigerians, but it only took two years before the management ran into a brick wall. Zain Nigeria was finally sold to Bharti Airtel a deal that made the company become the fifth largest mobile company in the world. At this time, the company’s customer base had increased to over 180 million customers across its business units.

AIRTEL has come to stay so far.Duration: 11 Years (2010 till date)

In November 2010, Bharti Airtel paid a sum of $10.7 billion to become the new owner of the telecom company, seeing Zain Nigeria becoming Airtel Nigeria. Bharti, which failed twice before to acquire the continent’s biggest mobile operator MTN, finally got a share of a telecom giant in Africa which it had earlier tried to do. In fact, what delayed Bharti Airtel takeover of Zain was the legal battle between Zain and the owners of Econet Wireless Holdings.

It is now exactly 11 years since this acquisition, and it seems like the company might be done with the days of management and brand changes, as promised by Mr Sunil Bharti Mittal the company’s chairman in a speech he gave in 2010.

The company seems to have now stabilised and was even rated as the second largest in terms of subscriber base at the end of Q2, 2020. The financials have also remained in the black.

What did we learn?

The Airtel saga is one that is enough to cause a complete shut down of a company. Corruption, unhealthy business environment, latest market trends, merger & acquisition, etc are very common factors that influence a company into changing its name and policies.

It’s good to see Airtel still relevant in the Telecom industry in Nigeria and having a good size of market share.

Airtel has shown that the change of names and slogans over the years, they have the best interest of their customers at heart. The PR Teams have done a good job in solidifying the company’s reputation in the faces of the public. Change is bound to happen, how a company respond to this change will determine its growth or death.

PrinceOfLagos:
If Tinubu can single handledly pick who governs Lagos state , then I see nothing wrong in Buhari selecting who fly's the APC flag for 2023 presidential election

It is karma , Tinubu and his slaves should stop crying betrayal all over the place .

Corporate2020:


Buhari cannot sideline Tinubu. Instead, we will turn the APC back to CPC and ANPP by leaving the party for them. Let's see how many votes they can gather. A man can build a house, and later decides to abandon the house if his children decide to behave like bastards. That is why you see several abandoned houses in your village.

And if it happens, your Tinubu will win abi. With which votes

Ttalk:


Slaveoflagos, why are you so obsessed with anything Tinubu. What becomes of you if Tinubu eventually win the primary. The insanity that has clouded you require a spiritual intervention. How can an adult be so confused that he can't chose his fight.

Where is your GEJ consensus candidate in APC, where is your Peter Obi the flawless one from the East? Your anyone but Tinubu will destroy your life.

Calm down and talk your own... This is election , everybody must not talk good about your Candidate, even ur brother and sister at home , may not support ur candidate and that will not stop ur candidate from losing or winning...

This Mbaise man. Why are you ashamed of your heritage? Your moniker should be PrinceOfMbaise.

In the battle to re-take Nigerian, the odds are great and seemingly insurmountable, but with our commitment, patriotism and understanding that we are doing, what we are supposed to do for our country, lest she shall die, we shall move on discontent with what is and focused on enthroning what ought to be. In doing this, our battle cry shall remain: get your PVC and become part of this great libration!
Peter Obi...

PrinceOfLagos:

I have no answers to your question but I trust Buhari got plans and Tinubu ain't part of the future plans for APC

PrinceOfLagos:

PrinceOfLagos:

I have no answers to your question but I trust Buhari got plans and Tinubu ain't part of the future plans for APC

If Tinubu can successfully pick who governs Lagos, why can't Buhari pick who rules Nigeria? This is the question, stop trying to change the question.

May God Almighty bless you richly.

Tinubu can pick who governs Lagos, but his supporters think it is betrayal for Buhari to pick, not just APC's candidate, but a successor.

They should get out!

Tinubu is going nowhere.

It is almost weekend.

You guys can leave the APC...who cares?

Has Tinubu ever contested Nigeria's presidency? Buhari has done so severally, garnering several millions of votes on each occasion. There is no amount of votes that Tinubu would bring from the Southwest that could make Buhari president, without votes from Buhari's diehard faithfuls in the North.

Therefore, Buhari remains the single biggest factor in the APC arrangement.

Tinubu would be on his own if he decides to quit the APC. There are other people in the Southwest waiting to take his place.

He has benefited massively from the APC and cannot armtwist or blackmail the party into handing him the presidency.

Would Tinubu allow anyone to dictate who becomes Lagos governor? Is he the only party stalwart in Lagos? Wouldn't he want to determine who succeeds him if he were in Buhari's shoes? Would Buhari have committed any sin, if he decides to determine his successor?

Abeg, make Tinubu shift! Weekend don almost reach. Make una go buy Robb for enough tears, because una go cry well well.
