Proud of her for this great achievement. A product of a great, warm, intelligent and goal driven family. Her parents gave us as corps members free and furnished accommodation throughout our NYSC service year, even when none of us is Yoruba, I, my colleagues and our families remain eternally grateful to that family. We won't ever forget them and plan to return to that community, to immortalize Prof. (her dad) of blessed memory! 20 Likes 1 Share |

Are they selling off the company or they are partnering? Can someone clarify this? |

After years of being in operation, they’re selling for $320m? MainOne literally sells internet bandwidth to all ISPs in Nigeria and I think some in Ghana and they’re valued at $320m? Nawa. They should have just done an ipo 4 Likes |

g7conet: NIGERIA, AS AN ENTERPRISE NATION, SHOULD BE BUYING AND CONTROLLING A HIGH STAKE IN MAIN-ONE. THE COMPANY IS NOT JUST A MERE DATA COLLECTOR SUCH AS FACEBOOK, TWITTER, OR INSTAGRAM. THE COMPANY IS A STRATEGIC DATA CENTER THAT WAREHOUSED OUR NATIONAL DATA. IT’S CONNECTED TO OUR BANKS, TELECOMS, IMMIGRATION, SECURITY AGENCIES, NATIONAL DATA SYSTEMS, MINISTRIES, AND OTHER AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT. THE AMERICAN COMPANY KNEW WELL WHAT THEY WERE BUYING, A NATIONAL ASSET. IN THE AGE OF TAMPERING AND CYBER INSECURITIES, NIGERIA GOVT SHOULD BE BUYING THIS COMPANY FOR NATIONAL STRATEGIC PURPOSES, ESPECIALLY ITS CONNECTION TO WEST AFRICA COUNTRIES. I KNOW WELL PRIVATE COMPANY WANTS TO CASH-OUT AND MAKE MORE MONEY FOR OTHER BUSINESS VENTURES, BUT DATA WILL NOT ONLY BE CURRENCIES OF THE FUTURE BUT A TARGET OF WAR-FARE TO CRUMBLE ENEMIES SECURITY- INFRASTRUCTURES. 11 Likes |

CSTRR: We are not losing anything as the company will remain a Nigerian company with foreign and local shareholders just like other multinationals operating in Nigeria. The partnership will lead to massive expansion of the company and more returns for the owners. This is the kind of foreign direct investment that we need in Nigeria. 2 Likes |
