 Technology Market / Favour In Technolgy by MIBLerinloshe(m): 11:33am On Jun 19, 2013 |
Etisalat Nigeria has announced that 50% of the subscribers who have ported so far in Nigeria’s Mobile Number Portability (MNP) scheme have ported to its network. MNP was launched by the regulator, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) more than one month ago. Meanwhile, the NCC and Interconnect Clearing House Nigeria Limited, an independent firm contracted by the NCC to serve as clearing house for the scheme, said they have not made any data available to members of the public. The telco said that seven weeks into MNP in the country: “Etisalat (is) already taking a huge lead, with almost 50% of ported numbers coming its way. This revelation was made after collating the successfully ported numbers at the end of the sixth week of the launch of the scheme and shows that Etisalat had almost 50% of ported numbers so far.” According to a statement, the Chief Commercial Officer at Etisalat Nigeria, Wael Ammar, disclosed this without giving details of the actual figures of ported numbers. He said: “I can tell you that Etisalat Nigeria has gained almost 50% of the total figure of ported numbers so far. This is a clear indication that the Nigerian consumers have made their choice based on current realities on ground. We set out early in our business to ensure that we developed products and services that suit the lifestyle of all our target customers. We have also ensured that we have a reliable network to accommodate existing and new customers and these efforts have been recognized by the NCC and other stakeholders in the telecoms industry.” But the Director of Public Affairs at NCC, Tony Ojobo, said the agency is yet to make any data available to the public. He said any operator that is making any claim was free to do so, adding that it was all in the spirit of competition. Ojobo explained that the MNP scheme was beginning yield the desired dividends as it has engendered competition in the industry, arguing that it was for that reason that it was launched in the country. The Chief Operating Officer of Interconnect Clearing House Nigeria Limited, Uche Onwudiwe, said the firm does not release data to operators but to the NCC, adding that it has done just that. Corporate Services Executive, MTN Nigeria, the dominant operator in the voice segement, Akinwale Goodluck, said recently that it was premature for any operator to make claims on the number of ported numbers into its network. Like Ojobo, he argued that it was not the total number of people that port that is important but the fact that customers have been given the freedom to opt out of the network of a non-performing operator. Explaining why Etisalat has become the darling of Nigerian subscribers, Ammar cited the last quality of service indicators for mobile operators released by the NCC shortly before the launch of MNP as a clear indication that Etisalat was ready for business. The report shows that Etisalat met all the KPI targets as signed in the memorandum of understanding (MoU) for Drop Call Rate (DCR), Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR), Traffic Channel Congestion (TCHcong) and Stand Alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCHcong). This has even been acknowledged by the regulator which has given it different awards. The CEO of Etisalat, Steven Evans, told ICT editors in Lagos recently that about 90% of its subscriber base comes from the youth segment of the country. He said the ‘young’ telco will continue to invest massively to redefine the experience of customers on its network. |
| Literature / Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again By Ola Rotimi, A Review by MIBLerinloshe(m): 10:56am On Jun 19, 2013 |
Title: Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again Author: Ola Rotimi Genre: Play Publishers: University Press PLC Pages: 86 ISBN: 978 154003 6 Year of First Performance: 1966 Place of First Performance: Yale School of Drama Year of First Publication: 1977 (this edition, 1999) Country: Nigeria This is the first time I have read a play written by an African and the second play book I have read since Shakespeare's Macbeth. And save one or two issues, I enjoyed it. Extremely. The issues has to do with reading the instructions given in the play, such as telling the director of the play that a particular statement was made off-stage or something else. Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again is a hilarious comic play by Ola Rotimi. It tells the story of Lejoka-Brown, a soldier and a man of many wives. One of the wives he married himself while fighting in the Congo, the other (Mama Rashida) was the wife of his elder brother who was married to him by default after the death of his brother. The third wife, Sikira, was married to help Lejoka-Brown, who was contesting for a political position, obtain the votes of the market women since her mother was the president of the National Union of Nigerian Market Women and standing for a political position wanted the post. The comedy starts when Lizzy, the one only wife who thought she alone owns Lejoka-Brown, decides to come home to her husband after completing her medical studies in the United States. Lejoka-Brown didn't want her in his fathers' house and so decided to pick her up from the airport. However, the plane landed earlier than scheduled. And Lizzy, having known of Lejoka-Brown's fathers' name, proceeded to find it and make herself at home. Ola Rotimi What follows is a series of comic incidences that need to be read and appreciated. For instance, Lizzy, having stayed in America, came to the traditional marriage with 'White' culture in terms of dressing and her relationship with her husband. She was bold to say whatever she wanted, whereas the others were not. She played with her husband whilst the others could not. It was one of these love-plays, chasing one another, that the third wife (Sikira) ran away to her mother's house shouting 'Our husband has gone mad again' - she left the marriage for good. People have read this as a political statement. I only read it as the period of transformation that hit most African families from the traditional to what we have today. It also marked the changing roles of women in the household. Thus, even though Lejoka-Brown was a traditional man, he loved the 'eccentricities' Lizzy brought into the household and into the marriage relationship. However, being a man as he was, once in a while he wanted to show his authority. Another point is that, Lejoka-Brown's political ambition was to help him match up to his educated wife, since he was less educated. He was later to abandon it when Lizzy told him that that wasn't what she loved about him. She expects to see him as she knew him way back in the Congo. Let me spoil it by saying that in the end, Lizzy got her husband all to herself. How she did it is for the reader to find out. I recommend this book to anyone who love to read. It is that good.
