Etisalat: Arabian GSM lands in Nigeria

The poor network service infested Nigerian GSM market has a new kid on the block. Estisalat the new kid in the exploitative GSM market is headed by Keem Bello-Osagie, former MD of United Bank for Africa (UBA).
We welcome Etisalat and pray her presence will not further frustrate Nigerians but will provide better services than what is currently on ground. We further more pray that the high business ethics of the Arabs will rob off on the Nigerians on the board of Etisalat. Our next prayer is that this new company will not end up like some shady Arabian companies used by previous governments to loot Nigeria.
Above all, we are worried why a Nigerianised Arabian Company should bear this name that the average Nigerian cannot pronounce. Is Etisalat hoping to change name soon as is the fashion of Celtel who has been having teething problems despite being among the oldest GSM networks to encroach on virgin Nigeria airspace.
