‘I made the first GSM phone call in Nigeria... then corruption chased me out’ - Mr. Strive Masiyiwa Chairman of telecoms giant, Econet Wireless, Mr. Strive Masiyiwa, in this post on his blog — http://www.econetwireless.com/strive_masiyiwa_blog/index.php/its-time-to-play-by-a-different-ethical-set-of-rules-part-7-nigeria-1-of-5/, tells the story of his first hand nasty experience in the hands of corruption in Nigeria while challenging all to “be the generation that fights corruption.” I had the privilege of making Nigeria’s first GSM phone call back in 2001 when I called the regulator to say, “We’re live!” Who would’ve believed then that Nigeria today would have more than 167 million mobile phones?! It all started out as a very exciting new chapter for enterprise in Africa. 137 Likes 11 Shares |

If this man is saying the truth, I admire his courage. If only we know the effects of corruption, duplicity & lies on the society as a whole. It's one of the reasons why despite the abundant resources we are blessed with, we still depend & look up to the whites for even the most basic things 21 Likes 2 Shares |

14 years down the road, what a journey! 'In Matthew chapter 4, Satan says to Jesus, “If you bow down to me, I will give you all the kingdoms on earth and their wealth.” Those who engage in corruption ( or ignore it) have bowed down to Satan. Whenever I see someone who is corrupt, or chooses to be quiet about it, all I see is someone grovelling at the feet of Satan. Let’s be the generation that fights corruption… and ends it!'..........So deep! 17 Likes 3 Shares |
