It was not hard to see why. Millions of subscribers turned to Glo who had shown that the impossible was possible to the chagrin, most probably, of the board of directors of rival companies.

To stay in the flow, MTN and Econet beat down their prices, from SIM cards to calls, SMS and much else. It was as if Adenuga had come to show them the way this kind of business is done. Today, Glo is as much a household name in Nigeria as MTN and Econet now Airtel after several reincarnations and as it turns 19, the proudly Nigerian company is glowing with pride and more than certain to glow brighter/ better as the years go by.
