Yeah, on the subject of changing subject, there is one thing I've been wondering about; How well is the GSM-network built out, in Africa in general?
Just a "stupid" European wondering...

@tranquil: Not really certain of Africa as a whole, but d networks in South Africa, 4 example, are pretty advanced & matured. Also, I understand some east and noth african networks are pretty developed.
Here in Nigeria, GSM is just a little over 3 years old. Still putting roots out.

Looking at things, Nigeria should have d largest and most vibrant GSM network on d continent. In 3 years, we already have about 6.5m subscribers, plus MTN-NG & glo are the 2 fastest growing operators in Africa.

@demmy. I have never been a supporter of nationwide strikes. My logic is, u dont shut down your body because your head has a problem. 1/ Too many people die when we go on these strikes. Those who have never had a loved one in need of serious medical help at times like that may not see d point. Even if its only 1 person, that person is not a number to his/her loved ones. 2/ History has proven dat the strikes are NEVER effective. After weeks of sitting at home, we get a little reprieve via negotiations and then a few months later we are paying twice the prices we went on strike over. Its a senseless unending cycle.
There must be a better way. Someone has rightly defined doing things the same way you have been doing them with d expectation of a different result as insanity.
Even if we will carry out strikes, they should not be "total and indefinite". That's a recipe for suicide. Then how about more holistic solutions,like someone suggested a Labour Party. It would be so popular dat I dont see why it wont produce most of our leaders at least for d next 10 years.
@brix25. The National Labour Congress is calling for another "total & indefinite" nationwide strike over incessant and thoughtless hikes in cost of fuel that has characterised Nigeria for some years now. Its obvious government is being clever by half. D main problem is corruption really. Billions of Naira have been supposedly pumped into repair of refineries, with no results to show for it. Yet our govt claims 2 be fighting an anti-corruption crusade. No one has been investigated or prosecuted over why d refineries are not working, so we keep importing (at great costs) what we have d capacity 2 produce. Some people are making a lot of money from this all d way fromd top.
