dis change of ownership don dey tire me

who cares, oh, this's my first comment, i should sound lovely, ok, em!!!! yeah, i wish them well.

See there is nuffing there if am a shareholder and i have alotta money. i can buy the france guy coming to buy it is all about money bro

We can't really blame the past and present operators of ZAIN.  The problem is more of a precarious economy in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. The basic objective of every businessman is to make either short term or long term profit. If this can't be met, it is better to sell the bunch of shit or else they spend more on a brandless  brand while profit keeps falling year after year.
If Vivendi is not careful, they might end up selling asap. They should prepare for the worst they can think and endeavor to embace local manpowers to cut cost.
Though i blame Econet, Vodacom and Vmobile for lack of creativity and innovations. They lack aims to sustain a longlasting brand. As per Zain, what happened to them is almost inevitable in this time of reccession as their biggest market share brings in the lowest Roi. Even Multinational Coys like Lehman Bros and GM filled for bankcrupcy. Only God knows whats going on in Etisalat cos they still have lots of souls to win. To  Vivendi:
To be relevant and stay longer in a country like Nigeria, you ve got to be Creative x 3 with lil touch of street cred. They should learn that strong brand is not built as entertainment but something that makes people pay for a quality service. Nigerians should be left with no option than to "vivendi ur fone" Ask MTN the secret. All da best.

Another dies, another one is born.

If this Econet-Vodacom-Vmobile-Celtel-Zain and now,

This reminds me of the SAW movies, so unnecessary-LWKM

anybody wey dem like make dem sell am for na browsing me i dey after

Again Abeg make Nairlanders prepare to bid o so we fit get naira-mobile.

@ Post
Who cares!

UNLEASHED:

@ Post

If you don't care, then don't write anything. Yeye

I know that zain will still be sold to 2 more companies b4 i will finally buy it and then name it smuthcom

What matters most is that they should reduce price on both calls and browsing. Glo is crashing down the tariffs on data(internet) & voice calls. This is because their under water fibre optic cable linking europe would be concluded then. To them the cost of bandwidth which is currently $72,000 would then be $7,200. Change names and reduce price like Etisalat

Ezenwenyi:

I will buy zain(Vivendi) in 2020.

IT IS NOT MORE VIVENDI BY 2020,WHO KNOWS,MAY BE MOBILY?

Hmmm, I actually thought they had gotten to the final alphabeth Z, Zain. Well, i guess i was wrong.
obviously its about to begin from A

I said it, this is all planned, the license was initially bought by a consortium so once one makes the license money , they transfer to the next person, and to the next , so give or take Vivendi a year to make thiers ,

so sad am just joinging the condortium so am looking at 2019, then it become MABALLACK,
wld offer u internet speed at 3 x 10"8mb/s and so much more, support us and buy a line for ur family and ur enemies also

zain arent ready for business. Why did the FG allow them in the 1st place. They think they are selling pure water. If they dont have fund to keep their company upright it should be closed down totally. It should go into extinction like mtel. But they should first refund the thousand i used in buying my line

Its still a surprise how they manage to maintain a relatively good service with all the re-branding.

The new name/buyers sound cool. . . more like a fashion house.
@Topic,whatever,as long as they deliver.

I read about it 2 months ago then i knew it will be sold to the france company. Anyway all the best, soon they will place a bid on them again.

they are now renovating their outlets in my area, could dis b connected?

Of all 'em owners, I miss CELTEL the most! Really don't care about how often they change baton, as long as my line's still workin very welllllll. Luv the 'new name', sounds Behind! Roflol,

It's fun jere.
I spoke wit a staff up d company and the staff said d "right pple ain't managing". So Vivendi dat's sumtin u shld work if u wanna last long o. Welcome.

This may end up enriching some naija artistes again

I forsee vivendi doling out N100million to artistes for ''vivendi ambassador'' stuff.

Hmmm na wa o

4ur info, ZAIN is the worst GSM network we have, (nitel is out of it and it takes three to be worst), high tariff even on-net, they shd be ashammed of them self,

please continue to share the national cake among your friends and relations
