Funny enough yes and in my case it was your (South Africa) that stole the show. Lol. We got mobile licencing in my country and one of the companies that got the license was MTN Nigeria. We were so proud of it and it felt like it was our own because they did a lot of CSR stuff. But while working in a management consultancy firm, my boss & I were to do a presentation to the top management team. On getting there, I discovered only very few of them were Nigerians, the others were South Africans and the main man was an Australian. Now that got me confused. From documents we got as regards marketing and parent office, I discovered it was in fact a South African company. That didn't change much of how I feel, their service is great and am still using there mobile line 18+ years after. Cheers.

Lol very cool story, I use MTN too! Funny how some brands just get it right and we adopt it as one of our own. I used to work for a company called Travelstart which is a swedish company that moved to SA and opened up in Nigeria I used to work on the SA, NG, TZ and KE sites mostly and people wouldn't think for a second that they're not a local company.
There are plenty of SA companies in NG multichoice too. A few friends of mine also moved up to work for Konga for a while
