How will this impact the common man on the street when their network these days is too poor, to browse self na wahala infact mtn has now taken over glo motto of grandmasters of snail movement while glo now are now the grandmasters of data that works no snail movement, I don't know how this happened but glo is now the fastest in internet while mtn is now annoyingly getting snail movement.

Sparogatively, the Yoruba meaning of Toriola is... "because of tomorrow". Some would translate it to mean because of wealth, but I would stick to the former!

No one knows tommorow! The breakdown of how much shares he owns, was it necessary?

Anyways, "Because of Tommorw", bearing rioters and 'ALOOTERS' in mind, I think MTN where wise here.

"Na una people get MTN NG o!"
Message passed loud and clear!

Let me not forget to say...

Congratulobia! Mr Toriola

The rightful interpretation of "Toriola" is Because of wealth.

Is he a Nigerian?

Seems You are from ivory coast

The rightful interpretation is Toriola (Because of wealth).

Toriola "because of tomorrow" is mostly used in a statement.

Don't eat this food finish because of tomorrow.
Ma je ounje yii tan Toriola

onyechez:
It is not only Nigerians of Yoruba heritage that bear the name toriola. Togolese, ,Beninois Guinea, Senegalese bears the name toriola.
He maybe nigerian though

why you are so hateful and lost common sense because of envy, even if anyone bears Toriola in those countries you mentioned, they must have been Yoruba descent from Nigeria, just like Seyi Adebayor. Anyway, his name is Olutokun Toriola Karl, he is a Yoruba man, you can now start the worries

Notice how Yorubas are not chanting or making noise about this development...

Hedonisco:
Well deserved. I've followed Karl's career at MTN since he was appointed Chief Technical Officer and I've admired his stride since then.

Brilliant and great guy all round.

why you are so hateful and lost common sense because of envy, even if anyone bears Toriola in those countries you mentioned, they must have been Yoruba descent from Nigeria, just like Seyi Adebayor. Anyway, his name is Olutokun Toriola Karl, he is a Yoruba man, you can now start the worries

Adebayo isn't a nigerian but a togolese , adebayo is a common west African native name. Am not hating or being envy am just stating the fact, have met so many west Africans like togolese, from beniné Republic Guinea, Senegalese, some central African Republic answering names similar to Yoruba but they told me they're not Nigerians but those names are native to West Africans particularly French speakers in west Africa

You are a confirmed liar, no one will ever tell you that, Adebayo is a traditional natural name, it is not a religious name that anyone can bear. You have to know the meaning of a name before you named your child such name. You can't know those countries you mentioned more than me, they are very always proud of their root.

Is he a Nigerian?

Yes. From Osun, I guess.
