Happy Holidays food for thought for Elon Musk

Dear Global Adjumawurafourhene1, Nana Elon Musk, one gathers that MTN Ghana has approached you to discuss a Starlink presence in Ghana, through it, lol.

With the greatest respect, whatever you do, do not parley with MTN Ghana. It is a rip-off teleco that has unashamedly cheated Ghanaian consumers for yonks. One kids you not, lol.

For your information, MTN Ghana has been ruthlessly exploiting its sector leadership, to run a lousy network.

Truth be told, to call it unreliable,would be a charitable understatement. It has gotten away thus far, with a vile corporate C-suit marketing culture of endlesely running promotions to entice more subscribers, instead of directing resources to its engineers to ensure that customers can have reliable voice and data usage.

Rather buy the sods out, if you must - or better still, rather buy Vodafone from the government of Ghana for USD5 billion, ditto make Glo Ghana Limited's Nigeria owner, Mike Adenuga, an offer he cannot refuse, at USD3 billion to take it over.

You can then merge the two to become the EverythingXApp's African vehicle for the provision of telecommunications and mobile money services, accros the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Please note that the AfCFTA is the largest free trade area in the world, when measured by the number member nations: 55.

It connects 1.3 billion people across those 55 member nations, and has a combined GDP of US$3.4 trillion. Underpin it with Starlink, which you could use to provide ambitious and hardworking young people across Africa, and the rest of the world, to become micro tech startup entrepreneurs, providing truly affordable community WiFi services giving Internet access to base-of-the-pyramid demographics globally, lol. Full stop. Case closed. Simple. No? Yes?

In any case, Happy Holidays to you, your hardworking teams collaborating with you to make a success of your various projects, and your own loved ones, too, wai, Global Adjumawurafuorhene1!
