Airtel Attacks MTN In New Video Ad

I was recently watching a video on YouTube, then I saw an Airtel advert right before the video started, you know some videos have adverts placed right before the real video start?

Airtel recently launched a new welcome to Airtel plan which gives you 5x what you recharge. This plan is specifically for new Airtel subscribers.


*555* even that sounds suspicious.

To promote this new service, Airtel has released a video advert and the video is really sketchy.

In the video, a man walks into a place carrying a yellow bag and a yellow phone(everyone knows yellow is MTN's official color). The man tried making a call on his 'yellow' phone but probably due to network issues the call didn't go through and the man threw the phone on a chair nearby in frustration.

Just then, his bag came alive and ran out of the place(omo see race!), the guy ran after the bag like Barry Allen jumping over cars and everything in his path hehehe...

The bag got to an Airtel shop and majestically walked in and the man followed.
As he went inside the building, the man was welcomed by two ladies, he wasn't really keen on staying he just wanted to get his bag and go. But then he was offered an Airtel phone and that got his attention.

His bag was then returned to him, while the bag was being returned it changed from yellow to red you get the point right... (switching from MTN to Airtel)
Then he tried making a call again and this time, it went through and he walked away looking really satisfied.

Now, it might just be me but this clearly looks like Airtel throwing a jab at MTN.
I mean, even that picture above is somewhat suspicious, placing a red cap on a bunch of yellow bags.

I've said my bit.

Watch the video below and tell me what you think.
