Safaricom Vs Kencell/Celtel/Zain/Airtel

[Ruffneck]

@captain obvious

Kencell ni maringo iliwamaliza. They thought they were doing their subscribers a favor. My uncle had that Kencell line and every time he loaded the 300 shs voucher, he would receive 250 shs. Yaani they just took 50 bob for no apparent reason…can you imagine?

no, i cannot

Peasant Power mjamaa. If u have the common man on ur side you’ll dominate business, politics, entertainment and everything. Ata Raila is popular coz he connects to the common man. Same goes with equity, citizen radio n.k. Who listens to that mid morning rock show in capital fm wakiongea hiyo kizungu yao ya mapua. Ukienda allionz francais utapata mababi wa braeburn wakifanya stand up comedy pia na kizungu ya kutweng, there’s no way watapendwa na nchi kama kina hamo.

The best strategy for airtel is to destroy safcom from the inside juu from outside hawatoboi. A few guys from airtel should apply for jobs in safcom KGB style and introduce those policies that ruined kencell like per minute billing, ama ata sabotage their infrastructure. Don’t these guys study the cold war… nkt!

@aviator

the other day, i put forward a theory about the relationship between a name and the probability of success.

In the corporate world, Brand Color is the king. If you don’t have green anywhere, you are unlikely to make it. Green is the color of growth, fertility, reproduction, etc. Red, on the other hand, is the color for danger, blood, death, fire, etc. If I bought kencell/Zain/whatever, the immediate thing would be to rebrand.

Do you know Coca Cola? Just withdraw your statement, thii ukiumaaga

Would you give that same advice to the vodacoms, virgin and coca-colas of this world?

Airtel is doing well elsewhere, but not in kenya.

@aviator

Airtel is doing well elsewhere, but not in kenya.

So your theory is limited to two companies in one location? Not much of a theory

I have only lost a phone once and it was forcibly removed out of my pocket by street thugs and that was way back in 2004.I change phones when I get tired of them or a new model impresses me.
