Bound to happen because they focus too much on advert than good service delivery.

Only a few people today use Glo as their main line. For most people, it is the second line.

Glo was my first mobile line. But 2011 I left them and bought MTN. Had some very terrible experience using glo. If it was developed country I would have sued them. Was using bold 2 blackberry then. So I did glo sub to browse my assignment to be submitted the following morning. Brethren glo no open a single page, I tried and tried until my battery was low, I nearly cried that day. The following day the lecturer sent us out and labeled us in serious student, just imagine what glo caused me. That was the day I removed glo and moved to MTN. Anytime I remember that day it changes my mood. Glo no serious at all.

Glo will give you 1 billion gig for 100 naira of data but you no go use 1MB inside before you troway the SIM card.
I'm into sports betting..
I selected 6 draws and was about to stake 1k bro Glo network seized and I couldn't stake it so I tried all possible best but Glo network signal didn't come up. I just took it that maybe God doesn't want me to lose that game so I gave up. 4 hours later Glo network came up and I checked my games they all played draws 6/6 but I didn't stake it cos glo had seized my network. The money I would have gained that day would have been more than 100k.
Since then I hate that network

I dumped my glo sim the time I did monthly 4gb sub and 3.5 gb expired at the end of the duration. I climbed pole, tree, three storey building, traveled to city center but all the wash.
Right then I knew they were not the right network for me
Re: See How Many Subscribers Glo Has Lost In 10 Years by brainhgeek(m): 10:30pm On Jul 25, 2025
How will I have 11gig and it can't open one page? Most painful part is that I paid them thousands of naira to migrate my glo sim from 3G to 4G.
I only use the line to make and receive calls now.
9mobile is another terrible story

Go to your network settings, off automatic network select and choode MTN.

Glo makes more money than MTN and Airtel because they are a national carriers like Nitel of those days.
I think they have fiber and submarine cables
who is using the fiber and submarine cables? Is it not their subscribers? So how will they make more money when they don't have as much subscribers as the others
Re: See How Many Subscribers Glo Has Lost In 10 Years by StoryHaven: 10:56pm On Jul 25, 2025
They are so arrogant that they were sending me notices that my line will be locked because it's been a while I used it. I laugh in Arabic.

Naturally, Nigerians prefer MTN network. Many Nigerians including myself have more than one MTN lines, both old and new generation lines. The old generation lines are those lines that started with 0803 & 0806 while they new generational lines are those that started with 0810, 0814, 0707, 0941 etc.

The problem with MTN is that in some areas, their network use not to be stable when compared with Airtel.
..but MTN data are very expensive now

https://x.com/StatiSense/status/1948778905168458088?t=zKT2LfGR2ScuX4GVT2-eDQ&s=19[/quote]Unfortunately, the market share does not include the total number of users. This would have helped us confirm how APC has totally changed our country for worse in all areas, since ebilokan packaged his rotten northerner Buhari to replace his fellow southerner Jonathan.

How could the Lagos master planner replace PDP prosperity of 16 years with APC extreme poverty 10 years ago? Why do that with a Buhari who you said was expired in 2011? shocked

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Definitely not since two years ago when ebilokan hit the ground running to make everything even worse than his clueless APC predecessor did. embarassed

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

It is well sha
Honestly, they should have focused more on investing in quality telecoms equipments and improving their services. Glo being a Nigerian company should have nothing less than 50% of the market share, but see where poor service have put them.

I traveled from Lagos to Accra some years back, I couldn't even open a website with the glo sim I bought there. Had to buy an AirtelTigo.

If they continue this way, I doubt they'd have any market share in the next 10 years.

Seriously, I wonder how they make money despite their steady heavy adverts on big media corp like CNN and hiring different celebrities. ..

The only place I know Glo shines is offshore for marine based companies

GLO should go public! Private money alone may not give it the full scale resource to fund their expansion and nationwide appeal it deserves to gain public acceptance. You don't just list a company simply to raise money but for also marketing and brand acceptance purposes.

Mine has been working PERFECTLY after roaming it on the MTN network. Search for a post on Nairaland about 9mobile been granted permission to roam on MTN. This was about a week or 2 weeks ago. Do what the poster says and ur 9mobile will be back

What killed glo is how they deactivate your sim whenever you leave it for couple of months.

Who has time to be going to their office to do God knows what Everytime they deactivate your sim.

Is it fiber or submarine cables we go chop, we are talking of good service here. Glo's service is very poor. Glo suppose to be the best network, being the only total indigenous network, and would have gotten the highest patronage from Nigerians, but alas, their network is the worst, they should do something about it please, i personally want them to be number one network in the country, since it is completely Nigerian.

They are the most useless network of Nigeria follow by Etisalat.
Airtel still managing but MTN gbam.
