Never never compete on the basis of price because it will erode your profits margins and that of your competitors when there is no brand advantage.
I am not sure glo has a stronger brand than MTN neither do they have the resources to lower thier operating cost more than mtn so they should scrap this price wars for now. They should focus on quality service and differentiation in the market with a focus or technology/market push. They are a very bad follower and it will be best for them to take the princible of first movers.

Seriously though, it seems anything can trigger ethnic and religious conflicts in Nigeria except the actions of our elite lootocrats.

I can't wait for the day my folks will drop the weapons, quit fighting themselves for a while, and join hands together to fight their looter-leaders, The real enemies.

ifyegede:

One question that never ceases 2 bother me is: where is organised labour, civil right organisations, youth & student movements while all this looting of collective treasury? Whatever happened 2 strikes, picketting, civil disobedience, protest march e.t.c. Nigerians are a bunch of passive citizens hence dis situation.

almoner:

Sexy, beautiful but She cheats

Phate07:

phate07 why would a girl go flirt around (not necessarily have intimacy but do poo) and when she is found out will still be claiming she loves you?

what is the best response if after a year she is still coming back with all the emotional" i still haven't been able to get you off my mind" crap?

She could just be playing around to try and make you jealous and care more. If after a year she comes back and you are still single, take her back. But watch her closely, for she might have another plan.

she wasn't playing around cos of my attention, we were in different cities! she eve had the guts to lie to my face that the guy at her work was disturbing her not like i ever asked,only for me to find out (text) when she came visiting that she goes to see him at home (thats how the bubble burst).
But sha that's history, what plan may she be having if she comes back?

LeoMax:

Traditional marriage wont be higher than 5m in the East, 1m in the West and about 50,000 in the North.

africanist:

We must change our orientation as Africans. Today, we celebrates double wedding ceremonies due to our colonial experience. The engagement i.e. the traditional wedding is original to Africa. However, the church or registry was borrowed from Europeans. Spending on double-wedding is a waste. U can register your marriage with little or no cost at the registry and go to church for marriage blessing without crowds, and later do the main thing "African traditional wedding". BEST OF LUCK.

adexchamp:

The greatest Ye-king of goals, i read the article on punch yesterday i was like what is really happening to him,well i think maybe he's disturbed having learn't his marriage crashed so to say[b],overall he is a quiet type and also a cheerful giver so i don't think his giving attitude should be related to being mentally imbalanced[/b].Well for me i think he should come out of his shelf and contribute his own quota to the development of football in our dear country, we need people like him in the glass house.

Lets c wat this latest attempt is all about maybe a story about an arrow that gets bent- eventually

MIBB:

recap this


The Minister of Information and Communications, Dora Akunyili, yesterday got more than she bargained for when Enerique Fernando Arrundell, the Venezuelan Ambassador to Nigeria, used the opportunity of his visit to her office to tell Nigerians some hard lessons on how to manage, develop and utilize their God-given natural resources for the benefit and good of all.

The envoy, who was responding to an appeal by Mrs. Akunyili to help woo some of his country’s investors to come in and establish refineries under the federal government's planned deregulation of the downstream sector of the nation's petroleum industry, advised Nigeria to rather look inwards and to take full control of the industry.

Though, he acknowledged Venezuela as a prominent member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) like Nigeria, he said his country will be willing to collaborate with the federal government to develop the industry.

The hard truth

Mr. Arrundell said, “In Venezuela, since 1999, we’ve never had a raise in fuel price. We only pay $1.02 to fill the tank. What I pay for with N12,000 here (Nigeria), in Venezuela I’ll pay N400. What is happening is simple. Our President (Hugo Chavez) decided one day to control the industry, because it belongs to the Venezuelans. If you don’t control the industry, your development will be in the hands of the foreigners.

You have to have your own country. The oil is your country’s. Sorry I am telling you this. I am giving you the experience of Venezuela. We have 12 refineries in the United States, 18,000 gas stations in the West Coast. All we are doing is in the hands of the Venezuelans.”

The envoy said, “Before 1999, we had three or four foreign companies working with us. That time they were taking 80 per cent, and giving us 20. Now, we have 90 per cent, and giving them 10. But now, we have 22 countries working with us in that condition.

It is the Venezuelan condition. You know why? It is because 60 per cent of the income goes to social programmes. That’s why we have 22,000 medical doctors assisting the people in the community. The people don’t go to the hospital; doctors go to their houses. This is because the money is handled by the Venezuelans. How come Nigeria that has more technical manpower than Venezuela, with 150 million people, and very intellectual people all around, not been able to get it right? The question is: If you are not handling your resources, how are you going to handle the country?

“So, it is important that Nigeria takes control of her resources. We have no illiterate people. We have over 17 new universities totally free. I graduated from the university without paying one cent, and take three meals every day, because we have the resources. We want the resources of the Nigerian people for the Nigerians. It is enough! It is enough, Minister!”Government’s plea

Earlier, Mrs. Akunyili thanked the Ambassador for his visit, saying it is a demonstration of his love for the African continent, pointing out that there has always been some level of bilateral trade between the two countries, though very skeletal, as a result of the low awareness of the latent potential of Nigeria as an investor’s goldmine.

Drawing attention to the huge potential in the nation’s telecommunications sector, which is being exploited optimally by South African investors, the Minister noted: “There has been trade between the two countries actually, but we do not have many Venezuelans setting up manufacturing outfits in Nigeria. I want you to use your good office to send a message across to your people that Nigeria is a goldmine for genuine investors. We want them to come invest just as other investors are doing in the telecoms sector.”

She gave the assurance that government will give them the full cooperation, adding that President Yar’Adua’s administration is working hard to ensure that the country’s economy is taken to the next level through the initiative of the seven-point agenda and Vision 20-2020, designed to make Nigeria one of the largest economies of the world by the year 2020.

The Punch Version I read yesterday had the man shouting @ Dora Akunyili " Minister this is enough!! Enough is Enough

halfcurrent:

Thank God sha!. But for real, these guys should employ drivers to drive them when they are going out fun. At least they can afford it!!!

Evil Brain:

The laws of economics, like the laws of physics, are universal. The only reason it seem that things are different in Nigeria is the overwhelming effect of government (and its corruption) distorting the markets. Take away the excessive government interference and we're no different than any other country.

The only reason why things aren't working here is because we aren't doing what we're supposed to do. We only pretend to do it while actually doing something else. We pretend as if we're investing in our infrastructure when all we're interested in is sharing out big contracts as political patronage while trying to look good on camera. Everybody is just trying to make money for himself.

And thats the real reason why we haven't deregulated yet. Because if the government didn't own the power companies there'll be no excuse to award multi-billion dollar contracts that politicians can get rich off. And if there was no fuel subsidy then the river of free money in Abuja would dry up.

I have strong suspicion that Aganga's plan is just more pre-election bullcrap (like Obasanjo's "commissioning and commissioning" and that as usual, nothing significant will change. But lets wait and see sha.

Its not like we can do anything about it.

shadrach77:

how can he demand such an amount when he is not a white man?

ChinenyeN:

Hmm. . . well, if you manage to find enough like-minded Nigerians, then I would suggest you set up a website dedicated to understanding the socio-politics of Nigeria, since much of Nigeria's problems stem from a stagnant (to say the very least) socio-political environment. Set it up like a neutral and independent online journal/socio-political organization; not affiliated with an particular party/ideology.

Try to develop it into an organization that will work particularly toward giving the youth both in Nigeria and diaspora, a political voice, in terms of a neutral third party/independent youth committee which reviews and assesses the socio-political environment, in hopes of training and raising youth who can function as politically unaffiliated, socio-political youth "auditors" of policy, politicians, political parties, etc. Youth "auditors"/assessors of the overall socio-political atmosphere and undertakings.

Its headquaters should be in diaspora and there should be a 'central station' stationed at Nigeria's capital. Should the capital of Nigeria be moved, so should that 'central station'. Then it can have various chapters in various states.

Such a setup will not be an easy task though. So you should seek like-minded, well-informed youth who feel and are up to the task.
