THIS IS INFO FOR GLO:

Globacom Limited (or GLO ) is a Nigerian
multinational telecommunications company
headquartered in Lagos. GLO is a privately
owned telecommunications carrier that started
operations on 29 August 2003. It currently
operates in four countries in West Africa,
namely Nigeria, Republic of Benin, Ghana and
Côte d'Ivoire . [1] As of June 2009, the
company has employed more than 2,500
people worldwide.



Overview
GLO has an estimate of over 34 million
subscribers (April 2016) of which 26 million
are internet subscribers [2] and it is a 100
percent Nigerian owned company. [3]
GLO built an $800 million high-capacity fibre-
optic cable known as Glo-1, a submarine
cable from the United Kingdom to Nigeria[4]
but still provides extremely slow and unstable
internet connection to subscribers.



Ownership
GLO is privately owned by the Mike Adenuga
Group which also consists of ETB , now
merged with the Sterling Bank , Conoil PLC, a
petroleum marketing company, and Conoil
Producing, a crude exploration company. [5]







Strategic business units
Glo Mobile
Glo Mobile, a subsidiary of GLO, is GLO’s
Mobile Network Unit. In the first year of
operation, it had one million subscribers in
over 87 towns in Nigeria and over 120 billion
Naira in revenues. [6] Glo Mobile has now
spread to other African countries , namely
Benin[7] and Ghana . [8]
Glo Gateway
Glo Gateway, a subsidiary of GLO, is GLO’s
International Wholesale Voice and Data
Exchange Trading Business Unit. Due to an
expansion program which took place in 2008,
Glo Gateway now [year needed ] covers 140
countries under its roaming services, and it is
currently connected to 235 networks. [8] 2008
also saw growth in Glo’s data roaming for
mobile phones, laptops and BlackBerry
handsets, which has now spread to 72
networks in 29 countries. [8] This now gives
GLO the largest roaming coverage for voice
and data in Africa. [3] Glo Gateway recently
acquired a license in Côte d'Ivoire.
Broadband access
As a part of GLO’s service offering, Glo Broad
Access will be improved by the laying of the
fibre optic cable for the metro ring, which is
progressing steadily. [citation needed ] The Glo
Broad Access was launched on the 24th of
November 2009. Glo Broad Access offers
landline telephones, broadband internet and
video, all on a single digital wire line.
Glo 1 submarine cable
Glo-1 is the first successful submarine cable
from the United Kingdom to Nigeria, and GLO
is the first individual African company to
embark on such a project. [9][10]
Glo-1 has the potential to provide high speed
internet services, faster, more reliable and
cheaper telecom services. [11] Glo-1 will
potentially facilitate foreign investment and
employment opportunities especially to
Africans.
The 9,800 km long cable originates from Bude
in the UK and is laid from this origin to Alpha
Beach in Lagos, where it will have its Landing
Station. [12] Glo-1 will also improve
teleconferencing, distance learning, disaster
recovery and telemedicine among several
other benefits for Nigerians and the people of
West Africa. [13]
By country
In August 2003, Glo Mobile was launched in
Nigeria. Glo Mobile introduced lower tariffs,
pay per second billing and alongside other
value added services. Although Glo Mobile
was the fourth GSM operator to launch in
Nigeria, within seven years of the company's
operation, its subscriber base has grown to
over 25 million. [14]
In June 2008, Glo Mobile was launched in
Benin. Glo Mobile showed unprecedented
growth through the sale of 600,000 SIM cards
in the first ten days of operation. [15] Glo
Mobile offered Per Second Billing, which
charges subscribers for the exact airtime
used. They also offered other value added
services such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging
Service), Glo Magic Plus news and
information, vehicle tracking, musical ring-
back tones and mobile banking.
In May 2008, GLO acquired an operating
license through its Glo Mobile division in
Ghana and plans to capture 30% of the
current 11 million subscriber market within 18
months of launch. [16] They plan on achieving
this goal by launching with bundled voice and
Internet services for Ghana and through
specifically targeting ‘un-serviced’ areas
outside Ghana’s two major cities, Accra and
Kumasi. Glo Mobile was set to launch in
Ghana the first quarter of 2010. [17] This has
however been postponed to the third quarter
of 2011, and again to 2012. In January 2012,
Glo Ghana opened the "Reserve your number"
campaign, but still without opening the
network. On April 8, 2011 GLO launched the
sub-marine optical fiber GLO1, one part of its
maiden operation in Ghana, to usher in
another major player in the Ghana
telecommunication industry.
In October 2009, GLO acquired submarine
cable landing rights and International Gateway
Services in Côte d'Ivoire.
History
In 2005, Glo Mobile introduced the Glo Fleet
Manager which is a Vehicle Tracking Solution.
Glo Fleet Manager helps transporters/fleet
operators manage their fleet. They also
introduced the Glo Mobile internet service
which provides subscribers with access to
internet sites which have been customized for
mobile phone browsing.
In 2006, Glo Mobile introduced BlackBerry.
GLO started the sponsorship of the
Confederation of African Football African
Player of the Year Award. The company also
started the sponsorship of Glo Lagos
International Half Marathon.
In 2009, Glo Mobile launched Blackberry
prepaid services which gives subscribers
options to pay daily, weekly or monthly for the
service. Blackberry prepaid service gives
subscribers free yahoo mail access and free
blackberry messenger. The company also
launched 3G High Speed Internet services
through the sale of its 3G modem. Glo Mobile
3G network is available in Lagos, Abuja , Benin
and PortHarcourt .

Post info for MTN...thief

[/s]

It's probably only you that didn't know IBB and Atiku has big hand in Glo...Adenuga was just a front.

Why did Adenuga and his family go on exile when Glo was under invesitgation...

Tell us another lie...

oooduancalmdown:
Which mtn is owned by ibos?

Which Glo is owned by Yorubas?

Electricdangerr:
You only control the gala selling and crime sector of Nigeria, Joseph Sanusi, the former CBN governor is from Ebonyi. Its a shame you have no working brain, reason you keep spewing trash everywhere.

I keep on telling you. Those gala sellers make more money than your weak agbo sellers...

Electricdangerr:
You don't even have a father cos you are a product of baby factory, is that why you sold your mother for few coins just to flex this December?

Childish..when did your baby factory start? You have been banging yourselves for ages...That's why you have several pshycotic skull miners..who kill people without thinking about it...

oodualover:
You think you can inflate your population? Majority of your people attend anglican and catholic. Your people are very few in redeem and mfm. Dont inflate your importance. Leave those churches for a start and let us see.
Pathetic tribe

Hahahahahahahaa...

You are probably a Yoruba Muslim and so have never visited those churches...

Electricdangerr:
You are just like your late father, no working brain at all. We are talking about Eboe owned bank and you posting jargons. I wish i can use belt to flog that your empty flat head.

You are now involving your father whose wife, is his sister, in this discussion...Who owns those banks...?

Uglyojuku:
lol..you could not name any Igbo company in ICT except your one and only zinox which Glo will buy one million times not to talk of Yorubas' Omatek,Main one etc.Trading does not build an economy,industry does and Yoruba has this.Anybody can be a trader even last mumu but only the gifted are industrious like the Yorubas.May God forgive us.

Name the Yoruba company the supplied the banking software used by most Nigerian banks?

I am into banking and IT...I know you are a road side vulcaniser who have access to phones...

oodualover:
Let them close their account and stop beating their hairy chest here.
GTB does need ibos.

Just like Redeem, Living Faith, COZA, MOF, Cele, Aladura, Baptist churches don't also need Igbos, hu?

How many of you attend TREM?

Remember Churches are next to the banks in money generation..

Ogbeni, you will be the GREATEST loser..because of your early clannishness...

Electricdangerr:
You are dull, How many Eboe banks do you guys have? Lmaooo No one is holding you animals from closing your accounts with GTB, but don't cry victim when they sack all flat heads working in GTB. I understand you have no working brain, but try get sense abeg.

Who are the majority in these banks; Zenith, Access, UBA, Fidelity, Diamond...they yaribas?

Now how does your brain work?

oodualover:
Osu pig leave GTB and stop making noise here.

Afonja, Ilorin/Offa emirate council donkey...Have you closed your in Fidelity bank?...

Tunde1Salam:
Michael1004


happy birthday

please behave wella on this thread otherwise we will turn this ur birthday to a sour one

thank you

When your people were jumping up and down..wishing that INNOSON will receive the heat and fail...You didn't tell them to delete...

Clannish evil people everywhere...

oodualover:
Leave the bank and we will see if it will suffer.
Chest beating baboons

The heat one Alariiwo wished INNOSON would have and fail is now reversed to GTB...

Very soon they will reduce the amount you can draw as their cash flow...will go under...

Bad belly no good.

You clannish and evil people who wish other people bad...started it...

Electricdangerr:
[s][/s]

So you want them not to like their own but love wild animals like you people that wish them evil daily. Are you mad?

If you close your account in Igbos banks which you don't have...and Igbos close theirs in Yoruba banks...which they do have accounts...who would go bankrupt first?

Uglyojuku:
All what is garnered in these spots are not up to the financial giveaway or takehome dough of just 1 Yoruba ICT coy.As for the war,covetousness of the Igbos caused that.Blame your natural longthroat.

Which Yoruba ICT company is bigger than Computer Wa...Group alone, who manages the software used by almost all the banks in Nigeria? It is owned by an Igbo...

See yoy life...so because Igbos are covetous... and they want to leave Nigeria...Your tribes man starved and killed millions so that the would stay?

Now who is getting frustrated....?

Hahahaha..

oodualover:
Good. Tell your other osu to leave GTB

Loser... they are reading and listening...

Now tell you people to close theirs in Fidelity, Diamond...

Hahaha..you know you don't open accounts in non-yourba banks already so?

ProWalker:
Wetin concern me with church, if you like carry mat and go and be sleeping in yoruba church looking for miracle
Did they put a gun to your flat head to attend a yoruba church? You are their mugu, so you must pay to them.

So also in banking...did they put gun in your oblong head to open account?

Ogbeni the mugu...I am just drawing analogy...

Yourbas are the clannishest people in Nigeria...They always like their own first. This is the reason you would losse if others behave like you people.

Go and figure it...

Uglyojuku:
Success of a bank is mainly determined by the patronage of industries which Yorubas have in abundance not kobo kobo loan that Ibo traders take.
The advanced countries are mostly not traders like the Igbos but owners of industries and salary earners like the Yorubas.Trading does not develop an economy, industries do.
Talking about poverty,everybody even the UNO knows there is massive poverty in Igboland reason everybody is running away from there.

Can you in your entire life...predict how much is generated daily in Computer Village, Aspanda, Alaba, Building material market Alaba Suru and orther mega markets in Lagos alone?

Igbos went to their place in 1967, guess who starved and killed millions of children to make them return to Nigeria...Is this yoruba man...who was in jail at that time...

ProWalker:
[s]My mention is only for intelligent people, not stupid people.

[/s]

Stupid person is a day light robber who is afraid to say the truth as it is...Have you every attended an Igbo church in you sickening life?

I have attended and paid tithes to Yoruba churches.

See the ethnic bigot opening account in non Yoruba church...

Abegi!!

ProWalker:
You don’t know because you live in abakaliki village

Shut your ewedu mouth...Igbos have many computer firms in Lagos. More than 50% of the staff are Yorubas. We don't do like you who would never attend non-Yoruba churches...You clannishness is next to none....Even in the church of God you bring your pettiness and tribalism there...

Markfemi2:
You mean the same Ogun State that has 14 private universities all owned by Yorubas
Has second largest oil refinery in Africa owned by Yoruba
Host 4 mega churches all owned by Yorubas
Has a larger Igr than south east

Is filled with salary earners
Looooooool

Those churches will become empty once Igbos who are the second in population stop paying tithes and start attending ONLY Igbo chirches.

How many Yorubas attend non-Yoruba churches?

Always remember that...

kettykin:
is it GTB or FG that is punishing Innosson , please some one verify because the whole Igbos are either in the process or have finalised plans to close GTB accounts

The funniest thing is that we are yet to see GTB make a statement...about this saga....knowing that it can impact on their business.

GTB should pay for allowing itself to be used.

Close your account with GTB...now.

Very nice!

Guestlander:
Nobody is above the law, not even the president. But if the man is innocent I hope he is fully exonerated.

Liar...The president is above the law. Where is his WASC certificate?

He had 15 SANs, ready to defend him for not qualifying for the elections based on not having a certificate...

So stop your wicked lying...

zaxworth:
I will Pay 2 Million USD For the capture of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
