Confusion trails Teleology’s alleged withdrawal from 9mobile


By Prince Osuagwu (Hi-Tech Editor)

There appears to be some confusion in the news that new owner of 9mobile Teleology Holdings has withdrawn from the deal as the local arm, Teleology Nigeria, dismisses the story.




The news broke early yesterday morning that Teleology Holdings Inc, represented by former MTN Chief Executive, Adrian Wood had withdrawn from the 9mobile deal, citing delays in effecting important contractual agreements by the local partner, Teleology Nigeria.
This is happening just about two months after it received approval to take over operations of 9mobile as the preferred bidder.
Going! Going! Gone! Finally, 9Mobile goes to Teleology
The two arms appear to be trading tackles. While Teleology Holdings is accusing the local partners of blocking it from concluding a management services contract, the local partner was short of calling the international arm a fraud, saying it does not want to abide by due processes and standards of operation.

Meanwhile, Teleology Holdings said that the management services contract would have enabled it and its team of experts oversee the implementation of the organisation’s elaborate business plans including funding proposals, had the local partner straightened its acts.

It said the decision to pull out of the 9mobile deal was because it doesn’t appear the local partners were sincere in the whole project.

However, the local partner, Teleology Nigeria retorted by saying that some of the practices the international arm wanted to introduce to the business were unbecoming, hence the willingness to see Teleology Holding adjust to standard practices or quit willingly.

A reliable 9mobile source told Vanguard that even if Teleology Holdings withdrew, it does not mean the 9mobile brand will have any issues because Teleology Holdings is just a minority shareholder with only 13 percent shareholding.

He said: “If your information is correct, I don’t think 9mobile will even have any issues.  9Mobile has no business with Teleology Holdings which is owned by Adrian Woods. 9Mobile is owned by Teleology Nigeria Limited which is a fully registered indigenous company. Teleology Holdings is just a minority interest holder in Teleology Nigeria Limited. “It holds only 13% equity which up till now, it (Teleology Holdings) has failed to pay 600Million USD it is supposed to remit”.

The source also accused some of the executives of Teleology Holdings as being averse to local content policy that would allow more Nigerians either employed or have stakes in 9mobile

Teleology Holdings Ltd is reported to be seeking to exit its shareholding in the local joint venture, Teleology Nigeria Limited, and demanded the Teleology Nigeria to change its name.

If that happens, the $50 million initial deposit the company paid to acquire 9mobile could be forfeited.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
