Adenuga, this is how I know you can bring Glo back to life. You can’t keep doing this with another SIM promo or another celebrity ad. But with infrastructure, discipline, and a five year plan that treats this like the engineering problem it actually is.

Glo closed March 2026 with 22.6 million subscribers and about 11 to 12% market share. MTN has 95.7 million and 51.62%. Airtel has 63.6 million and 34.3%.

This is an infrastructure gap that took a decade to open, and closing it needs real capital and real engineering, not another campaign.

This is my 5 year plan for Glo.

Year one is network reliability. Glo recorded 45 major outages between January and May 2025, second worst in the industry, and no subscriber strategy survives a network that keeps dropping calls. Fibre cuts, vandalism, and power failures are the named causes.

A hybrid solar and battery rollout across the worst outage sites would cut the power failure problem and the diesel cost bleeding margins. Ring topology on core fibre routes stops a single cut from taking down a whole region.

Year two is spectrum and data. MTN and Airtel are winning because the fight has shifted to data supremacy, so aggressive 4G densification followed by a real 5G rollout is non negotiable. The Glo 1 submarine cable should stop being a museum piece and become a wholesale product, selling capacity to ISPs, data centers, and enterprise clients across West Africa instead of just carrying Glo’s own retail traffic.

Year three is enterprise and B2B, since Nigeria’s teledensity sits at 85.67% and fighting for the last few retail SIMs is a slow war. Fibre to the business and fintech backend contracts is a faster one. Governance runs alongside this. The NIN-SIM cleanup exposed that Glo’s old numbers were inflated by tens of millions of inactive lines, so clean internal metrics from day one matter more than vanity numbers.

Year four is the brand rebuild, and it only lands once the network is actually fixed. Glo’s disruptor story only works again when the data experience beats MTN’s, not just undercuts it on price. Price should close the deal, not carry the whole strategy the way it did in 2003.

Year five is a real run at Airtel’s 34.3%, not MTN’s lead. You do not jump from 12% to first place in five years. You jump from third to a strong second, then take the real shot at MTN after that. None of this works without a financing structure to match the engineering roadmap.

Adenuga, the company that taught Nigeria what a disruptor looks like still has the cable, the brand memory, and 22.6 million people who have not left yet. You have done this before you can still do this again.

The comeback is not about outspending MTN. It is about outbuilding them where it matters.

Count on this.

Ideally in a sane and lawful society, Dave ought to request for an autopsy so as to clear his name. Alas the more sinister and wicked you're, the higher your position of authority by the APC.

Dave Umahi claimed that Mary had pre-existing medical conditions, that blood was coming from her nose the day before she died, and that their families were close.

If the roles were reversed and Dave Umahi were found dead, naked, in his bathroom while Mary was in his home, would his family refuse an autopsy? Would the police simply leave Mary alone, or would she be arrested and investigated immediately?

‘’The continued imprisonment of outspoken politician and Tinubu critic shines a spotlight on ‘lawfare’ in Nigeria, writes El-Rufai’s wife. ‘For 150 days, Nasir El-Rufai has been detained. Nigeria’s partners must speak up.’ Nigeria’s friends must understand that this case is larger than Nasir @elrufai. It is about whether a citizen can fall out with power and still be protected by law. It is about whether courts will be places of justice or theatres of intimidation.”

I have followed with deep sorrow and mounting concern the reports surrounding the death of Miss Mary Habila, a 26-year-old Nigerian from Nok, Southern Kaduna, who died on June 27, 2026, within the private residence of the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, in Uburu, Ebonyi State.

First, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Habila family. No family should have to mourn a daughter taken in the prime of her life while also fighting simply to learn the truth of how she died.

But condolences are not enough. Nigerians deserve answers, and it is on this score that the Tinubu administration has failed, comprehensively and disgracefully.

Consider the facts that are not in dispute. A young woman died in the residence of a serving Federal Minister. For nearly two weeks, neither the Minister, nor the police, nor any arm of government said a word to the Nigerian people. It took the courage of Sahara Reporters to bring this death into public view. Three weeks after her death, no autopsy has been performed. No cause of death has been established. The investigation remains domiciled in the very state where the Minister served two terms as Governor and where his influence is beyond question.
And through all of this, silence from the Presidency. Silence from the Federal Executive Council. Silence from the Inspector-General of Police. Silence from the National Assembly. Not one word. Not one directive. Not one gesture to assure Nigerians that the life of Mary Habila matters to this government.

Instead, the Minister has been permitted to manage the narrative of a death that occurred under his own roof: issuing statements through his personal aides, deploying his private lawyers to correspond with the police, and continuing his official duties as though nothing has happened, while civil society groups, youth organisations, and the family’s own community cry out for an independent inquiry.

Let me be clear: I make no pronouncement on anyone’s guilt or innocence. That is precisely the point. Only a credible, independent, and transparent investigation can establish the truth, and it is the refusal of the Federal Government to guarantee such an investigation that constitutes the scandal before us.

A government’s first duty is the protection of life. Where a life is lost in circumstances touching a high official of state, the burden on government to act transparently is at its heaviest.

President Tinubu’s administration has instead treated this tragedy as an inconvenience to be waited out. If the death of a young Nigerian woman in a Minister’s residence cannot stir this government to act, then Nigerians must ask: whose life, exactly, does this government value?

I therefore demand the following: One, President Bola Tinubu must direct the Honourable Minister of Works to step aside immediately, pending the conclusion of investigations. This is not a punishment; it is the minimum standard of public accountability in any serious democracy. No official under this cloud should preside over a federal ministry as though it were business as usual.

Two, the Inspector-General of Police must immediately transfer the investigation from the Ebonyi State Command to Force Headquarters, with the involvement of independent forensic experts. No investigation conducted in the shadow of the Minister’s home-state influence can command public confidence.

Three, a full, independent, and internationally credible autopsy must be conducted without further delay, with the findings made public. The stalemate over the post-mortem, three weeks after this young woman’s death is an indictment of every institution involved.

Four, the family of Mary Habila must be protected from any pressure, inducement, or intimidation, and must be guaranteed unfettered access to the facts of their daughter’s death.
