@ all4naija, if after reading all I have said, and after discussing with me and others on this issue, if you seriously think I am lost, then you are insulting me and you know it,

I asked you to share with me the link to your talk that stock exchanges require major companies to list. You have not done so.

Go and read BusinessDay online and check. The lawmakers and Sanusi Lamido have listed the following companies for mandatory listing - Shell, Globacom and MTN. They later added Airtel and Etisalat to the mix.  Their classification of major companies are simply telcos and shell.

This means if the transport sector becomes profitable and companies such as Ekene Dili Chukwu grow to become national players, raking in billions of naira, then they will be forced to go to the NSE, whether they are ready or not. ABC was ready to go to the stock exchange to develop its business, and it did. They have done well. Others said they are not interested, and they have chosen to stay away. It is their right, and they are also doing well. That is freedom of choice and democracy!

My point is simple. If you want them to enlist, then encourage them, dont force them. Forcing them is undemocratic. Shikena.

We are having what is supposed to be an enlightened conversation, so there is no need to turn it into insults. Dont act like what most people do when they are losing an argument. Back up your talk with facts/figures or simply hold your peace. 

all4naija:

I just find out that Shell, Chevron, Elf and other major companies are already listed in the Nigerian stock exchange for long.

If that is true, then why are they adding Shell and Chevron to the list of companies?

You see the dishonesty there? That means they are only targeting companies like Airtel, Etisalat and MTN. MTN especially because it is the most profitable.

Why are they not talking about Glo? Do they know how much Mike Adenuga makes from that company? Abi he is on the Forbes list of billionaires. Why dont they force him to list since he is a home-grown company?

There are so many questions to be answered, it shows that there is no proper planning behind this.

I have said my piece. This government that can do anything whether legal or illegal to make money(such as increasing fuel prices,or reintroducing toll gates on expressways) should not be trusted at all.

Good night.

all4naija:

That for that piece of history. On the other hand, what makes you think Nigerian case won't be different this time around? Nigeria is not under military regime. Many developed SEs world wide require major companies to be listed. Just check them up online.

I have checked, and I havent seen any. Can you share the link?

In the meantime, I dont think they have said that they are not ready to list on the stock exchange. However, their argument is that let them do so when they are ready. Not when government wants them to. Anything other than that is nationalisation through the back door. And when you do something through the back door, then it has become corrupt.

I understand your comments about the need to support the stock exchange,but selling companies on the stock exchange will not boost the economy, if it is not properly done.

Few years ago, we all bought shares of banks through IPOs at inflated prices. Look at what has happened since then. The nationalisation i talked about is another example of what happens when you do things wrong. There are so many bad examples that we should be very careful and make sure that we get it right now.

So they should allow them to list at their own pace and time, or place diplomatic pressure on their company boards in UAE, India, South Africa and Netherlands. The Nigerian government has enough clout to get those companies to do so. However, forcing them by enacting such laws is wrong.

@titus3, why are u using my soon-to-be-established business for reference? Please don't send government after my company o!

Uchesco and sons are very interested in the operations of the market economy of a country, as long as it brings me profit. Shikena!

all4naija:


Is it the common man who buy share in stock exchanges world wide? A modernized stock exchange with electronic network allow room for that though. You are taking this stock exchange for an avenue to procure funds living out security, records, etc. Stock exchange is just an intrinsic part of stock market and it is determined by free market system. So, there is nothing like nationalism in it as you are alluding to. The country is not taking any company from anybody or a nation.

All around d world, poor people are allowed to buy shares in stock exchanges if they have the money. Nationalism was practiced in Nigeria in the early 70s when govt nationalised several companies such as UAC and AP by sending them to the stock exchange. That is where all the moneybags like Danjuma bought plenty shares and became members of the board of directors.

Go and read what happened then with indigenisation decree. It was a military decision that started spoiling this country.

all4naija:


We are in the 21st century and the need to keep records of major businesses which contribute largely to the economy is very important . This must be done at the right time and it is now. If MTN thinks it is an avenue to coerce their company to declare their asset yet there is nothing wrong about that. It is the country they are operating in.

Meanwhile people talked about the expensive cost of license procurement by the telecom here yet forget they also rip the country by making the prices for their network very expensive. The cost of the license is not an issue because they are profiting in an unimaginable margin. Would you have allowed them to purchase the license for a meager price and rip the country of huge profit? Come on, guys! We should stop patronizing what is not in our own interest.

All4naija, I thoroughly disagree with this comment. What you are advocating for is nationalisation through the back door! And if it works, it will be  setting a bad precedent. This means that if I set up Uchesco and Sons, secure foreign backing and start producing rice. If we become very profitable like Dangote, then government can force me to go to the stock exchange so that others who did not sweat can come and chop? Wrong!

What is the purpose of going to the stock exchange in the first place? The last time i checked it is to raise funds for business growth and expansion. This is done by offering shares to members of the public. If they compel all these big businesses to go to the stock exchange, it would not achieve any of the two purposes mentioned.

First of all, Shell, Etisalat, Chevron and MTN did not say they need funds to expand their business. MTN already takes loans from Nigerian banks and so they have no reason to go to the stock exchange, when they can collect loans. Unless they choose to go, and so far, none of the major companies are happy about it.

Secondly, if you choose to sell a company like Shell on the stock exchange, will you and I(the common man) be able to afford it?

With their assets/profits, Shell or MTN will probably be selling as high as 2000 naira per share if not more. How many of us can buy it, if not the big men and politicians who have stolen wealth and are looking for where to throw it?

@all4naija, this is not sentiment. Let us tell ourselves the truth. The call for mandatory listing is not for you and I. It is a plan by some other people who do not care about us, but are looking for where to throw their ill-gotten wealth.

Nice one Dangote, Students of history will tell you that a good businessman always remembers to build a lot of goodwill, so that he can cash in on it later.

I remember when the late MKO Abiola donated 1 million naira each which was really big back then) to all universities in Nigeria. Look at all the goodwill it gave him, That, plus the other goodies he so generously doled out made it that when he chose to run for elections, it was those students who joined their teachers and other Nigerians to vote for him,

Dangote is not planning to go into the heat of politics, he prefers to operate in the background. So maybe he is just gathering goodwill so that his businesses will continue to operate peacefully. Notice he donated to the upcoming University in the President's hometown?

Whatever his motive, my worry(which should be our worry) is that the money will not be properly used.

MTN has just responded on their Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/MTNLoaded

Still waiting for ACN to say their own,

Its about to get hot o,

I like passyjango's analysis (though i'm not sure if i understand it all)

Like i earlier said, it all boils down to giving you what you actually need, not what you want(and cannot use)

If you are an office person like me, you will be browsing more on your desktop or laptop, and not on your phone. You only use your internet when you have something emergency to do.

So probably its the students who are complaining about the small internet service. Then again, maybe they shouldnt be using a work tool like Blackberry and stick to smartphones.

@mbulela, it confuses me too o! (lol)  Seems to me like a vocal minority of MTN customers, plus people from other networks who would have loved to join MTN but are scared of its prices, combine to verbally thrash MTN online,

Yet, they have 41 million customers(according to their last figures) and even have more BB users than other telcos!  

Maybe we should critically look at what they offer. Sometimes its not about how much they are giving, its how much you really need.

Again, maybe its because their network is relatively more stable than Airtel and Glo(maybe not Etisalat) I stand to be corrected.

Or maybe because everyone just hates BIG Business, and wants to beef for beefing sake, while they secretly love their guts

Whatever sha, I am renewing my BB subscription sha!

Hi people, I don dey laugh die after reading all these comments. Nigerians can sooo doubt!

My friend was one of the winners chosen at their last draw held in Enugu last Friday! Please stop beefing MTN jare, they dont do 419 on their promos, and I can testify!

By the way, has anyone of you visited their website to find out the winners? Visit http://www.mtnonline.com/1billionnairamegareward/winners to see the list and stop all the hating, abeg!
