I remember back then in 2003 when I wanted to surprise my fiancée with a gift – just got a job in a bank after months of being unemployed. I wanted to appreciate her for standing by me all through the years and believing that I would not partake in the Nigerian frustration for too long. I could not think of anything worth giving than a mobile phone – MTN had the most expensive SIM going for 25K. The significance and symbol of the gift was too important to do “ijebu” so I procured it with a phone to match. Fast forward to present day, any time I look at the SIM in my wife’s phone, I always burst into laughter comparing it to the going price.
MTN has always stood out as the most expensive mobile operator but they have the largest market share in the Nigerian Telco world (very ironic!). Recently, they have been engaged in some mind-boggling low-priced data service – their monthly 100MB bundled package for just 1K and now the mother-of-all-shocks – MTN Blackberry is 3K/month for the next 3 months (Wow!); that’s what I said too; this is how I got the message:
