These figures would have been reasonably accurate February last year, although it did not indicated GLO's coverage of more countries. You did a good job and I'm confident you can do better than this.

remove MTN from nigeria and watch it GO BANKRUPT

This is why we keep telling Nigerians to know their worth. They think MTN is doing Nigeria a favor by employing people, but instead MTN is milking Nigeria by the second.

Imagine 33%+ of their global revenue is coming from naija alone. With this, there's nothing Nigeria can do to them that will make them leave. They won't want to sell their efforts over the years cheaply to another company.

I'm not say we should chase them out, but I'm saying govt should make strict policies that will make all these companies play by the rules and stop repatriating money out of the country.

Poorly researched article.

Glo also operates in Ghana, Benin and Cote d'Ivoire.

Even the Wikipedia you got your information says as much.

paskyboy:
Glo network is a disgrace

Oga, glo is the youngest of them all. They all started from their respective countries before covering others. Its a matter of time, globacom Nigeria will still cover Europe and American countries. Rome after all wasn't built in a day.

ma'am it has been edited and updated on the second post. FP Posts cant be re-edited. So because GLO's list wasn't updated you concluded the article was poorly researched?
Thanks

true, this companies are in Nigeria but they aren't owned by Nigerians, they have headquarters their headquarters in different other countries (Globacom excluded). It'll be hard to tell how much they make from the countries individually and would take lot of research time. However, thanks for commenting, we'll try and work on this next to time.
