Nigeria has been ranked the 4th most mobile subscription in the world no wonder NCC has been busy given all manner of regulations to TELCOS.
TELCOS are really milking us dry… and citizens are really milking dent app (If you are not onboard, check here).
A multinational networking and Telecommunications company, Ericsson, revealed this on Friday, June 15, 2018, in its June 2018 global mobility report for the first quarter of the year.
In the report, there are around 5.3 billion subscribers globally compared to 7.9 billion subscriptions.
The number of mobile subscriptions grew at 4% year-on-year, reaching 7.9 billion in Q1 of 2018.
Top 5 countries with highest mobile subscriptions:
- China had the most net additions during the quarter (+53 million)
- India (+16 million)
- Indonesia (+6 million)
- Nigeria (+3 million) and
- Bangladesh (+2 million).
Ericsson’s mobility report also forecast that there would be 8.9 billion mobile subscriptions by the end of 2023 globally.

China added more subscribers than the remaining top five combined. Prof thanks a lot for the dent app.
Naija no dey carry last
Very nice info Prof.
Surprisingly enough, those leading western country aren’t listed US Uk Europe and the rest, Bangladesh? I think China is the only global economy on that list, we thrive elsewhere but are leading in subscription ranking, amazing…
Upon it all TELCOS are complaining? I side NCC for imposing so much on them
Am not surprised about the data at all. Telecoms una try o
Of course, we don’t get quality data
we don’t get quality data so we just keep on resubscribing. I’ve bought 2gb of data twice already this month, if jot for dent it mkifht have been 4 times already
Am not surprised ooo
Who no love Internet?
This result may attract more networks to Nigeria.
I hope our super eagles can be rank like this
Is the 4th position a good or a bad one?
24/7 on the internet
Ofcourse it’s true. When we do monthly subscription 5 times in a month.
not Surprise anyway…… internet is a big-time stuf now
Awesome, more telecommunication may chip in reading this
Wow!!! This is interesting in spite of difficulties in Nigeria
with dent i won’t buy data again, i wish there was a way i can generate many numbers
Nigeria no dey carry last. Always in everything. Nice one.
I still can’t register on dent. They never send confirmation code to me.
Not surprised at all
We are not enjoying the internet sef
The population is there, the power lies in the population/market size
Simple reason is data is expensive, we can hardly afford to buy data that would last us for a while, so we buy severally even in the course of a month
The countries that suppose stay at the front shared FREE WIFI to the people around, i guess these top 5 country you will hardly see free or open wifi without a password around, so people are forced to subscribe if they need to stay online.
