miles ahead is far from the truth..

please can you check on NCC reports on subscriber-base of the telcos in Nigeria?

abc115:

Miles away from MTN is total rubbish statement spurned from inferiority complex and pull our down syndrome. I don't use MTN, the network I use is 1000% better than MTN

You're absolutely right but let's be sincere tell us the network and even in terms of open tariff plan as well. The bitter truth is that if South Africans companies is nationalized who will manage them, is it the FG that couldn't manage NITEL, Nigeria Airways or the failed national carrier which a lot was wasted on. Apart from that MTN is a quoted company on Nigeria stock exchange which means it is owned by individual which you also can own a unit with less than 150 naira.

Sir get tye message; our penchant for anything provided it is not made it distributed by locals just to show off is our greatest undoing as a nation.

Do you asked why NYSC has to import the the gears for corps members instead of buying them within the nation?

Or why our DISCOs resort to importing prepaid meters instead of patronising the ones manufactured in Lagos?

Or Senators will import utility vehicles for instead of going for Innoson brands? The list is endless

that's the point am trying to make as well.. In as much as those companies are leading it doesn't make them miles ahead. If they leave, there are other companies on ground to absorb them. The reason why they are leading isn't because they are doing things that are spectacular its just the governments protecting their interest. The only reason many people still put up with DSTv is because of the exclusive right they have for viewing top matches, they aren't the only one in Africa with the rights but we choose to give them the exclusive right in Nigeria. In advance countries no company will enjoy a 30% monopoly. You are right its the government that allow all this rubbish.

Ever heard of Amazon Fire stick or Android box? Do you know with good internet of about 19k use Spectranet unlimited or NTEL unlimited of 17500, you can steam thousand of channels with amazing and new contents unlike the nonesense dstv is showing??

Sorry sir, the amount you just mention is also a problem with a greater one - where do you get the "good internet" from in Nigeria? Sir, until we are ready to tell ourselves the truth and decide to build, the future is still very bleak for Nigeria

I can bet my last breath no one here broke their decoders or their mtn sim in protest against South Africa despite all the noise.

Forget all that online bravado, we know better.

No sir, you don't.

They was no light before Buhari came, the roads were in a very bad conditions but thanks to the Buhari administration most are undergoing rehabilitation. Light, don't even mention that one because we all know better. I can tell that; this guy is an Igbo guy because they are the ones blaming Buhari for every misfortune.

Yes these things weren't there. You're right. But how many of it has Buhari added so that when another takes over, he/she can add to them?

Buhari wasn't "voted" to compete for the failures of PDP or his predecessors of which he is also one.

Airtel is ahead of MTN.

Which report do you base your argument?

I am referring to official reports released by Nigeria agency - NCC

psucc:

oga get my point.. They are ahead not MILES ahead.. What's your definition of miles ahead., do they have the cheapest voice or data, do they have the quality service all over Nigeria? Can MTN hold Nigeria to ransom or threaten Nigeria they are leaving and we will panic or fidget. If your answer is yes to all those question then you can say they are miles ahead meaning other network have no hope.. Otherwise my brother they are just ahead waiting to be pounced upon by other network should they start messing up.

. I will give you 1,500 so you can help me get their shares.. How many shares did they sell when they went public

Midas01:
Have you ever heard of Airtel?

How about it? By God's grace I use Airtel since 2003. MTN still leads in terms of coverage and subscription base.

You can only boycott what you have an alternative to. In Nigeria who is competing with DSTv, even in the telecom, other brands are still miles away from MTN.

To worsen, matters, even the poor no longer patronize the kiosks in their neighbourhood but root for ShopRite. The list is endless.

A nigga once said:i agree with you 100%.you cannot really boycott what you don't have an alternative for. It's high time we stop deceiving ourselves and tell ourselves the truth. If we had an alternative this topic would not have been raised by a Nigerian. Let the government stop frustrating private business and see the real meaning of boycotting by Nigerians..

I guess if you would still be talking about the alternatives if your brother or sister has been mauled over there.

Among all those that quote me, you are the only one that is promising. In fact, I can close my eyes to vote you anytime you contest for leadership where I am.

I love honesty and go broke for it. Thank you.

you're still not getting the beat. ok. MTN has the highest number of subscribers. Thus, their profit is also high. Even our leaders will not allow them to reduce tariffs. Know why?

Nigeria would have been a lot better if our colonial masters had actually stayed longer than 1960 ,they would have developed key sectors( though for their own comfort) of our economy while setting the tone for our self discovery..

We as a nation need a lot of lesson to sail through our selfish,unpatriotic and self destabilizing way of life.

As at last trading day (Friday 20th of September) the closing price of MTN is N140, which means with 150 including charges you will get a unit so your 1500 will not get you nothing less than 10 unit. The shares is traded on daily basis on NSE except on weekends and public holiday. Let me tell you this it is the most capitalized company on Nigeria stock exchange. Consult your broker

Bitter truth is that ; I would have stopped to use my MTN if not because Osinbajo also have a share in it

Not Airtel bro...Forget that MTN is the biggest brand. When it comes to service, Airtel is the best in Nigeria.

new2012:


Doesn't that make you xenophobic in itself? The only way to shame haters is to build yours and make it viable, not to destroy theirs. For some, we don't even have alternative.... Dstv, where will we ear h premier league, champions league etc.. Whatever happened to tstv was local.

How is it xenophobic to boycott SA businesses in reaction to the attack on Nigerians?

bro, we dey the same page jhare....Airtel all the way. Abi na Glo you dey use?

Duggedised12:
why not port your Sim instead of breaking it?

I honestly forgot that was possible.

no skin off my back though

I've always used glo, and in fact, I just bought the MTN last year because glo was getting even worse.

Airtel is to my surprise even better than MTN here in OAU

Sir, I don't know about your area, but where I am, the reverse holds.

But that's not the case here. We Are talking about market leadership not service.

What is special about MTN.I decided 10 years ago to use GLO which is owned by a Nigerian instead of MTN.I believe Nigerians using MTN are just unpatriotic.

So telling lies to ones self is patriotism? If that is, I prefer being "intelligent".

Nobody is boycotting anything. It has come and gone. If not for our louthmouted brothers with their love for crime from the other side, nobody will have peoblem with us all over the world.

Nobody is boycotting anything at least in south west (yorubaland). No cause for alarm, we no go school to be stupid.

Too many fools on Nairaland. For your information your tribe is well represented in SA and some of them are victims of the attack.
The President of the Nigerian union in SA is Yoruba.

Startimes is fast catching up. I couldn't believe my eyes the last time I say their picture quality. They also have some really decent contents and affordable.

Last time I visited my village, two things stood out. Most people were now using cooking gas instead of kerosene and Startimes was everywhere. Those guys have completely displaced DStv in rural Nigeria. Remove football n DStv will crumble.

If Startimes want to collect football license from DStv. I swear to God their Government will right then the check. Better fear Chinese money. Same way Huawei now controls our telecommunication which was before held by Ericsson.

I use glo, and my glo has never dropped 4G service in any part of Lagos even while in transit. Might be d phone tho.

Yinmu! I just dey laugh you. have you used startimes recently well lemme update you, they have removed Spanish league and Seria A and Fox Sports from their channel list without prior warning na only Brundelsliga remain for startimes. Called customer care they said they don't have money for airing rights for those leagues again. So Gotv might take a fair share of the market back from startimes

psucc:
Then who owns all the millions of lines as reported by NCC?

Are you doubting that there are people that don't use MTN? I have never used an MTN sim myself.

Nothing special. We Nigerians are never satisfied with home-made. It must be foreign to be good or original.
