  1. Listen here, don’t take this report too seriously because we all know that the drug dealers in nigeria need at least 3 different numbers in order to conduct business and when they come visit south africa, they are involved in the theft of at least (on average) 5 cellphones.
    So this explains why they would exceed south africa in users.

  2. Hey Nicholas! You listen.
    I’m sure you’ve never had the privilege of visiting Nigeria before, thus your assertion but I can assure you that Nigeria is not a country full of crooks, as you think. Your line of thought is very shallow and simplistic.

  3. Of course we all know that decades of living under appartheid has robbed Nicholas of any class he might possess…..but folks, that’s one of the many ways we all pay for the sins of some of our brothers..
