How MTN Nigeria Lost Over 5 Million Subscribers

-

Over 5 million subscribers of MTN, Africa’s largest mobile phone operator, have ditched their lines with the telco outfit in Nigeria.
MTN reported a slowdown in quarterly subscriber growth on Thursday, caused by stiff competition and tougher regulation in the Nigerian market.
MTN said users increased 0.9 per cent in the three months to end-September, a slowdown from 2 per cent growth the same time a year ago.
Chief Executive Sifiso Dabengwa said the company’s subscriber base in Nigeria fell marginally after more than 5 million users disconnected from the network having failed to register their SIM cards.
“Aggressive price competition, weakening macroeconomic conditions in most of our markets and unfavourable exchange rate movements continued to impact financial performance for the quarter,” Dabengwa said.
Although mobile phone penetration is still well below 100 percent in Africa, growth in users is set to slow sharply in the next five years because the industry finds little commercial logic in deploying networks in remote, rural areas.

Unlike the regular, Damz decides to bring a different feel to the Remix of Carry Am Go by joining forces with Nigerian prolific “wicked” music producer Young John and they both came out with an extraordinarily good sound. With Olamide delivering like he has never done before, Niniola blessing the joint with her angelic voice coupled with a well laced verse and Damz doing what he knows best i.e; stepping up with every release, the Remix of Carry Am Go is no doubt that song you’d happily add to your playlist without ignoring the repeat button. And is most likely going to be Naija’s version of a summer hit. Damz is managed by R
