Nigeria has overtaken South Africa to become the continent's largest mobile market with now over 90 million subscribers, and yet market penetration stands at only around 60% in early 2012. Subscriber growth had slowed significantly during the global economic crisis, re-accelerated in 2010 but then slowed again in 2011. Much of the remaining addressable market is in the country's rural areas where network rollouts and operations are expensive. This in combination with declining ARPU levels is forcing the networks to streamline their operations and to develop new revenue streams from services such as third generation (3G) mobile broadband, mobile payments/banking, and others. At the same time the operators are rolling out national fibre backbone networks to support the ever increasing demand for bandwidth. At least two operators are rolling out fourth generation (4G) LTE networks.

How difficult it is to succeed in Nigeria's highly competitive mobile market became evident with the spectacular failure of Multi-Links in 2011 in which seasoned heavyweight Telkom South Africa lost almost its entire investment.

This report contains a market overview and analysis, key statistics, regulatory issues, profiles of major players, including financial results where available, and two scenario forecasts for the mobile market in 2013 and 2016.

Abagworo: From what I saw from a program on AIT, he was not comfortable. His house looked so old and unkept and he was a very sad man. He went as far as using his own mouth to complain of abandonment. I lost my value for many of his co-players because of that. I believe they should have initiated a form of rehabilitation for him and not Government. [b]The experience Etim Esin had at Okocha's house[/b] goes on to tell a lot more about the "Super eagles mafia" of the 90's. They have a clique and they are the rich ones.

new maonza: All dis foreign based Nigerians sef, wetin b una own sef if na iphone una dey use catch trips dere enjoy & stop taking panadol on top our headache. . . Over sabi is dangerous 2 ya health

NRI PRIEST: I am very very angry and frustrated with the whole Nigerian system !! Maybe its the BLOOD OF INNOCENT BIAFRAN WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO WERE MASSACRERED BY HAUSA/FULANI,YARUBA,THE MINORITIE AND THEIR FOREIGN ALLIES AND MERCENARIES THAT IS TORMENTING US !!

You well so ?

Onlytruth: Okija_Juju, I'm looking at you with lowered lenses these days!
I like the new you.
If not for your contrarian (I would say irresponsible) attacks against the Great Ikemba Ndigbo, you would be just fine as nwa afo.
Anyway, I welcome this new you! In fact I love it!
So, keep tracking your steps back to your brothers. We are here to offer counsel, help and support should you need them.

Ndigbo are a very INTELLIGENT tribe. They can see through anything and anyone. So, better be real!
Thanks for your answering your true fathers name at a time like this!

Okija_juju: Good Day Sir!!

Now nothing personal!! But a conspiracy theory is only a theory when you hear what exactly the conspiracy is. The guy only stated that his dad who was a pensionier had a "Conspiracy Theory" as to why pensioners are always made to travel back and forth for all sorts of verification. . . The least you could have done was ask the fellow what exactly his conspiracy theory was. . But you didnt know what his theory was, and yet went ahead to say "YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORY BAFFLES ME". I would ike to know what exactly you were baffled by as I am yet to even hear the theory let alone be baffled.

Mr President (Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Azikiwe Egberipapa) as it stands now is doing his best to bring the country under control. I find it rather unfair for people to accuse him of this and that all in the name of tongue-lashing the president. The president did not start corruption, The president did not destroy our security outfits, the president did not institute Boko Haram. . So when next you decide to talk trash about him, do well to remember say our contry don spoil for almost 35 years. . And No be Jonathan spoil am. The man is trying his best. You think he enjoys the fact that Boko Haram is making his adminstration hell?! Please!!

All I am saying is, disrespecting the President dont make you any wiser. . . If you were so intelligent, why arent you the President.

IBORI, like all other politicians in Nigeria was not arrested by the president. Its not the Job of the president to judge and sentence any person. . He has changed the EFCC head from Waziri to the new guy and thats all he can do. . . The problem starts from our juduciary down to the law enforcement agencies. . . He even changed the Inspector general of Police. . Wetin again you want!! DO you know how much it costs to prosecute a criminal abroad?! Do you think that justice is cheap?! Ask the U.K how much they spent on the Ibori case!! Corruption is not a weak animal!! Its vicious and fights back with all its strenght!! They started probing the Fuel Subsidy scam and an important office of one of the NNPC subsidiaries catches fire and burns to the ground together with all the evidence. . . Nna give Jonathan a Break abeg!! You think say to rule country na beans!!

I have realized that we are moving as a country!! In the right direction . . . slow but surely!!


God Bless Oga Goodluck Egberipapa Ebele Azikiwe Thankgod Freshair Jonathan!!

Only-Rebel:
Yes really. Feel safer in Nigeria than US.

BabaTony: Guy forget it, i have just said the truth, I feel safer in Nigeria than in the US, where pychos are always on the prawl anywhere, in nigeria we know its insurgency and one should steer clear of those areas till the trouble is over but in the US there is no peaceful place because, anybody could be pycho, you hear all sorts of stupid killings.

farmlander: Hi Everyone,

I have lived in the United States and being watching how people win different state lottery. Often times, something in my mind tells me there is a talented person somewhere in Nigeria who can crack down the winning numbers. I believe in my people, Nigerians. With Nigerians, anything is possible.

Am not so good at mathematics, permutation and combination and all that stuffs so I decided to bring it on board. This is a deal. If there is anyone in the house that can crack down on the winning numbers, let's share the details. The result can be viewed online to be sure of monitoring.

Let's go guys.


AMERICAN PIGS, YANKEE ASSHOLES......

WHEN THEY FACE A GREAT TASK THEY SEEK NIGERIAN'S ASSISTANCE AND CALL US NAMES TOMORROW

HOUSE? REMEMBER THAT THIS "USELESS SET OF PEOPLE" WILL COME BACK ON THE INTERNET TO START CALLING US

CODE CRACKERS/HACKERS....... VERY ARROGANT PEOPLE

chaircover: This is what makes me laugh when DK and family come here and insinuate that Nigerian women are lazy gold diggers.

Go to Nigeria and you will see women like this working hard and taking all sorts of risks to sustain their families. Do you think that all those market women sit down and someone comes to supply them with goods? many of them are up at the crack of dawn going to the wholesale market, bush, farm etc to source their wares. Same thing at night. Go to any main road at 9pm and it is these women you will see with a baby on their lap selling all sorts of things. Surely they all cant be widows or single parents.

One old mama sells amala to the shop girls in my complex. The mama is about 60. When I engaged her one day, I found out that she makes all the food herself. She wakes up at 4 and rushes to the market, then comes back to cook. One day I did not see her, so when I asked her the next day she said that some people didnt pay her up the road and so she didnt have enough money to go to the market the next day so she couldnt cook. when I asked her how much she was being owed she said N800. I couldnt beleive it. Women like this are not alone. Many many women are sustaining their families. Kudos to them all.

Agbenyiess: Stop hoping and act if you are single...the grl make sense die. gud for her man!

Tgirl4real: Another thing that causes wahala is when the wife wants to control the relationship.

You want to determine wen your hubby wakes up, shower, go to work, return from work, what he eats @ work, who he eats with, the type of work he does, how he spends his money.(lol). You want to make every decision for him. All in the name of making your own contribution you dominate his life.

You determine everything in the family. He hardly says a word, u've said 10 and you hav an opinion on every matter. He doesn't know how to do anything well. Infact, you are competing the 'head' position with him. You are the only one that knows what is best for the kids. His opinion doesn't count.

If you are controlling, u will eventually turn your hubby to a puppet. When he wakes up from his slumber, you start having issues claiming that he has changed.

If you complain too much you chase him out into the hands of other women cos you are choking him.

The bible says it's better to live on the rooftop than to live with a nagging wife.

Just as we want our husbands to 'gbo ri du ro' and treat us right, we also have the responsibilty to treat him as the head he truly is and stop competing with him.

alj harem: BTW, when would the FG give Innoson the necessary policies to favour them ? England give Ford those Policies, Germany gave BMW etc those policies why is Nigeria different ?

We cannot penetrate the market if we don't patronise our own. We have one of the highest population in the world I think it is about time we put that to good use.

dayokanu: Na wa ooo

From ojuku to Uju Okonkwo to Reetardeen now to randon private guards

Nna, have you checked your HIV status.
Visit SA, God forbid. With such high HIV rate, you can even catch it by radiation/conduction   . I don't want to be fed to lions by some white racist farmer or shot like Lucky Dube. All these development you're talking of done by white people  cannot be claimed by the average Sowetan. They are still suffering from post-apartheid paranoia (PAP) and PTS. Who wants to be killed when they suddenly run amok one day killing fellow Africans. They spent too much time being angry and violent, it is now firmly in their DNA.

dayokanu:
When you are tactically withdrawing, As the leader your first thought should be on his people.

If he had withdrawn all his people to Abidjan then that would have been plausible, But he fled on his own and left ppl to suffer.

Analogous to a Father who scaled the fence when Robbers came to his house and left his family to the mercies of robbers and invaders

Ojuku is a shame to all war generals

pDude:
Last time I checked, a hero doesn't abandon his people so as to save his own skin. A hero reps his people at all times. He stays with them through thick and thin.

Ojukwu a hero? Laugh wan tear my sokoto.

dayokanu:
Ojuku is a coward who fled to Abidjan and left his ppl to suffer

Are you a refugee at Lampadusa? Is the place a lounge at an international airport or entrance for cruiseliner?
@poster Onlytruth is if one's name means king of weed he should warn himself when entering a place where selling Igbo carries death penalty. Some of this guys cant read so they wont see the warning in their hands.
