Dear Editor,I read with heart pains and pity for the Nigerian Consumers, The NIGERIAN NEWSWORLD magazine Tittled: RACE TO THE NIGERIAN MARKET page 49-51 Nov. 24, 2008.
I wonder why we can’t learn from history untill we fall into the same mess over and over again. For instance, a few years ago, the Nigerian Market was saturated with so many Commercial banks.The number was so much that even those sturding Banking at P.H.D. level cannot correctly enumerate them. Untill a ‘messaih’ from here travelled to Malaysia, saw that as great as that country’s economy is, she has only two commercial banks and that one of those two banks is biger than all the then Nigerian banks when put together. When he started the journey to streamline them, he was called names and consolidation was misinterpreted, but today, we are reaping the fruits.
The lesson there is that those sincerely desiring to invest in banking in Malaysia should comfortably join any one of the existing two banks or be ready to generate such huge take-off-capital that will put them in the same level with the existing ones.
Within a few years of lifting the monopoly, there are over five diferrent G.S.M.companies competting here. With many more still paving their way to come up.The untold truth is that some of them are undoing each other so that they will excell.
Why can’t the G.S.M.companies come together in just one or two companies? Nigeria is too big for any G.S.M.company with small (limited) capital to operate in and still succeed in redering prompt/quality service.
See how they are saturating our atmosphere with Masks as if our towns will never have International Airports with traffic of aeroplanes.Surely, with their coperate combination, they can even operate from the Space.
Each time any of these almost one - family -owned G.S.M. Company is sold out or folds up, a good number of Nigerians are enconvinienced.
Many are wondering why the Nigerian Communication Commission (N.C.C.) cannot authoritavily direct them on the modis oparandi.
For instance, why should there be higher charges for calls and other services between two differrent Networks while the same is cheaper when it is within the same Network? Each of the G.S.M.pays equal persentage tax to the same Nigerian government, so that’s enough to rate all of them as equal. And rating them equal should reflet equal bill on the Nigerian consumers.
The N.C.C.has the powers to give the Nigerian consumers unified formulars, for checking their ballances, Transferring credits, loading Credits (ie.Recharging) etc.
All these G.S.M. companies are new commers into the system, why can’t the N.C.C. have these formulars laid down and given to them from their take off.
The exhorbitant charges of these Service Providers are enough to prove that N.C.C. doesn’t monitor their meters accurately.
A visit to our neighboring ECOWAS States, where these G.S.M. services have been for over 20 years now shows that the Nigerian consumers, of which I am one of the, are being terreble exploited.
Both the extent of coverage and the quality of services are not the priority of these companies rather it is to settle the authorities that be and then plunge into the Nigerian Market.
Millions of Nigerians are silently crying under the heavy weight of these exploitations while thses companies are shamelessly declaring jumbo profits.
N.C.C. under the able leadership of these present choice men and women should please save Nigerians.
Thanks,
Pastor Samuel Onyemachi
