TWO BLOG ENTRIES I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEE

The first is from Tayo. Naija's Journey into Talk, here he chronicles the progress and challenges of the Nigerian telecomunications sector. This post brought back memories, I enjoyed reading it. I feel the history is incomplete though, he left out the interesting days. The days where the installation of a cell phone tower (mast we used to call them) in any city made the evening news.
The second entry is 16 Billion by Wetin dey Happen, and here revisits the pointless spending on electiricty during OBJ's reign.
I would like to add that the juxtaposition of private sector success and public sector failures in the provision of infrastrucre in Nigeria is intentional. Have a lovely work week.

Which Way Nigeriasaid...

EeH yaa! which old school fone was that?

I still have my Motorola Timeport?? used it in Nigeria in 2001 and have it still with me here in the UK.

I have my old One to One SIM card on it. By the way, back then tMobile was one to one (1to1). It still displays one to one to date instead of tMobile.

Though I hardly use it and have had over 5 contract phones since but still keep my Timeport for the memories.
