The Federal High Court, Ikoyi has nullified the Ex Parte Order earlier issued on 3rd July 2017 approving the appointment of an Interim Board for Emerging Markets Telecommunications Service (EMTS), now 9mobile.

The company is the fourth largest telecommunications service operator in Nigeria.

Document obtained shows that the order on Friday by Justice Ibrahim Buba followed the Preliminary Objection filed by United Capital Trustees Ltd in response to the application by Spectrum Wireless, a shareholder of EMTS, for a nullification of the Ex Parte Order.

The development has set off another round of confusion and may affect the January 16 new deadline set by the NCC lat week.

The Interim Board of EMTS backed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), recently received bids from about 5 bidders in its intended sale of the company.

Barclays Africa, the financial adviser handling the sale of 9mobile, had the initial mandate of December 31, 2017 to conclude the sale.

Barclays Africa had since last year, shortlisted the final five firms – Teleology Holdings Limited, promoted by Adrian Wood, the pioneer CEO of MTN Nigeria; Smile Telecoms Holdings, with operations in Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Congo DR and South Africa; Helios Investment Partners; Bharti Airtel and Globacom.

Meanwhile, Solicitor to Spectrum Wireless Communication Limited in a public notice warned that by virtue of the said judgment, Dr. Joseph Nnanna, Oluseyi Bickersteth, Ken Igbokwe, Funke Ighodaro and Boye Olusanya as security trustee nominee of the board of Emerging Markets Telecommunications Service has been nullified and the order appointing them vacated.

The Solicitors warned that any institution or company who transacts business for the purpose of sale or acquisition of EMTS or 9Mobile does so at his or her own risk.

Justice Buba in his judgment said that the motion is struck out having set aside the order adding that “the respondent shall reverse all steps taken by it since the order was nullity.”

Facebook said that there are over 15 million active users of the social platform every month, and over 7.5 million every day, and 97 percent of these 7.5 million access Facebook via mobile. So we can say, that people are now spending more time on Facebook than they spend on radio or TV.

So can you now see the opportunity your startup has to get in front of the world? The average Nigerian wants to Facebook, LOL, even my grandma; they have been hardwired somehow to believe that anything internet is “Facebook.”

The millennial will rather post pictures of their day on Facebook, they will rather lock themselves in their rooms chatting than come to the sitting room to watch TV, and even when they watch their Korean and Filipino love movies, they continue chatting, they even pause the movies just to reply a message, like a post, tag friends or search friends.

So if Nigeria is where your target audience is, Facebook is a perfect touch point.

Another good reason why you might want to use Facebook ads is this: Of all forms of media I know, Facebook is the one point you can run ads on without coming off as advertising your products. The first few seconds of a YouTube video might be an ad, and I have been hardwired to “skip ad” because that’s not what I want to watch.

If our radio and TV stations ever give us the ability to skip ads, I can tell you that their revenues will fall drastically.

This doesn’t mean that people wouldn’t know an ad on Facebook, what it means is that it stands out less, and integrates perfectly into the Facebook news feed.

But…

If you have an e-commerce store, and you’re not Jumia or Konga, Facebook ads might not be the perfect place to get people to buy your products. (This paragraph is speaking of the African Market ONLY, it doesn’t touch the western world.) But I will clear this in a minute.

Here is the point. You can meet prospective customers on Facebook, people who are really interested in your products, and if you’re running a Lead Ad, where people give you their emails, or place “pay on delivery” orders, Facebook is a great option. Facebook is also great for getting people curious about your product or concept, and if they like it, you might have to meet in person to transact business.

Nigerians, and Africans as a whole find the concept of giving you their credit card info at checkout really hard to trust, I ran a conversion ads and I had a ton of customers adding the products to the cart. When they got to the checkout, they didn’t see anything like “bring the product and I’ll give you money” and they disappeared, never to return.

So if you are fine with the “bring the product and I’ll give you money” concept, then Facebook ads is the way to go. But not even the MIGHTY KONGA survived Pay On Delivery.

Now back to my point. I have run Facebook ads targeting people in the western world (Europe and Americas basically) and people pay ever before their products are delivered, so if your target audience is in that part of the world, then be assured that you’ll get sales without issues.

If your target is getting those leads (people requesting your products, emails, attendance at events etc.), then Facebook ads is perfect

Cost

With just 5 dollars per day, you can get over 1500 people to know about your product. Facebook ads targeting Nigerians is pretty cheap, and that means you’ll see the ROI you expect, that I know.

Compared to the traditional methods of advertising, I think this method is the safest and cheapest. You can stop Facebook ads at any time, you don’t have to kill your startup’s account just to run an ad, and you’ll ONLY be billed for people who engage with your ad.

Now you know about it

Recently, NCC reacts over the alleged reports spreading fast online over the preferred bidder anointed to acquire 9mobile, which date was fixed for Globacom to buy 9mobile but Glo also speaks against the alleged information.

So, the NCC – Nigeria Communications Commission has said that the new deadline to conclude bidding for the acquisition of 9mobile is January 16th 2018 as against the former date, December 13th 2017.



In a statement on Friday, the Director, Public Affairs of NCC, Mr Tony Ojobo said that the extension was because there had not been any preferred bidder for the acquisition of 9Mobile in a statement on Friday.

Ojobo said that an approval of the request for extension of time by the 9Mobile Interim Board was given by the two regulators, NCC and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

He said that the approval set the deadline for the receipt of biding offers from the prospective bidders till Jan. 16, 2018.

So, this actually means that there’s no telecom operator or company that has been anointed to acquire 9mobile and therefore, the said date is for the bidding deadline and not the day it will be handover to the winner who will own 9mobile.

According to Ojobo, the new owner will first apply to NCC, in order to commence the processes for securing the regulatory approvals necessary for full effects of the transfer.

Dude, nobody is saying ur jaiyu s3 is not serving u or that it is not a good phone, I made my comment because u said the only difference between these phones and s Samsung flagship is just price and u know u are wrong. The display of a Samsung flagship alone is expensive to make, Snapdragon cpu is expensive. U can never find a Chinese phones with Snapdragon 835 being sold for less than $400. One plus 5 is sold for $500, that is not cheap, mind u it has an inferior display to Galaxy s6. Just because s Toyota Corolla has 4 tires and has ac, stereo and all that doesn't mean it's the same thing as a Benz e class even though there's no where the e class will go that the Corolla can't go.

Samsung flagships are premium, premium things are expensive. Now is the s8 worth the $750 price? Definitely no, but it is definitely not a $200 phone. Maybe $500-600

Hmm
