This country no get any functional institution. wetin we dey run here na window dressing.

Abeg yu don hear frm the president since him return?

Because corruption is less widespread in Kenya than in Nigeria.
You have teachers, civil servants and other workers paid well compared to politicians and they are not owed perpetually like in our own country.

jbkomo:
Dem poor pass us nao

How do you define poor?

Doctors in Kenya have been on strike for months because of pay.

Teachers aren't always paid on time either.

What are you talking about?

So una think say na infinix increase the price abi?

Ask ur government to give u lit and infrastructures..

Then u can now compare prices..

Na resellers add to the price as e no pay dem to sell for Kenya price

Compared, key word.
Compared to Nigeria.

Loan rates in Kenya are about 14.5%

Guess Nigeria's own?

I'm not even going to go into costs of clearing goods and stuff.
Nigeria doesn't need external enemies we do a damn fine job screwing ourselves over

Just imagine the rawbishness!
...and the useless nomad is feeling fly!

seguno2:

Compared to Nigeria.

They have the same issues with a smaller population and they also don't have a large unwieldy northern population that Nigerian has to struggle with.

The GDP of Lagos state on its own is almost double that of Kenya's.

You don't know what you're talking about.

jbkomo:
Dem poor pass us nao

lai ! lai !, no talk am again !. was in Kenya 2weeks back, they are way ahead of us in terms of standard of living, asides phones, food and transportation, everything in kenya is expensive in relation to Nigerian Naira, houses, cars and clothings are double the prices in Nigeria comparatively, but the bottom line is "THEIR CITIZENS CAN AFFORD THEM", Nairobi is filled with standard malls not like the stores we av here called malls where the south african store chains are champions

diablos:
Dollar exchange rate is to be blamed bro...cuz when u have exchange rate fluctuating like ur president's health...it leaves much to be expected.

not only the dollar exchange, I think mobile phones fall under goods that was hit with luxury tax.

Nigeria is experiencing recession. ..wat d f**k did u expect..?

I think the law of demand and supply is into play here. the higher the demand, the higher the price and vice versa.

Kenya is closer to China. That Ship carrying the phones will still have to travel another equally long distance after reaching Kenya

this is the apartment where i stayed it cost 6.5 million shillings (=N=26 MILLION) and it is not for the soo rich, but for the middle class, the inequality gap is not so much.

kenya airways their national carrier is one of the fastest growing airlines in the world, has a fleet of 45 aircrafts , including boeing 787 DREAMLINER.

Their rail system is far ahead of us. tell me what makes a people poor?

Bcuz naija are lovers of phone and they are ready to do anything to get dat infinix of a phone. Not recession of a tin.

How much is hot 3

kaycyor:
Kenya no reach Naija for anything.. only Athletics dem pass us

Una get light for Naija? No
Una exchange rate beta? No
Una corrupt pass other countries? Yea

It takes a few hours to clear goods at the port in kenya once they arrive, sometime the port official board the ships high in the seas and start inspecting cargo, by the time the ship docs half the goods already cleared.....
Kenya is also tech friendly to tech companies... Most of them end up setting their africa HQ in kenya, from IBM, Google, Nokia research lab, Oracle,Qualcom....
Its not just infinix... Even techno and sumsung usually do the same..

Microsof too is following the same trend http://m.fin24.com/fin24/Tech/News/Microsoft-CEO-in-Africa-for-Windows-10-launch-20150729

THE REASON IS SIMPLY .LAW OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY

mmsen:
Ask yourself where these phones are made.

Then ask yourself what the cost of shipping these products is.

Then ask yourself how heavily these products are taxed, including import duties and also how long it takes for these products to clear customs.

Then ask yourself how the difference in rent between Lagos and Nairobi might cause shops to raise prices to cover said rent.

Or how electricity prices might cause retailers to raise prices to cover said rent.

Or how increased wages might cause retailers to raise prices.

Increased taxes on business might cause an increase in prices.

And then hopefully you'll understand why you're paying more and why you do not have time to waste in mosques and churches because you have imbeciles in positions of power that you do not hold to account - we have control over some of these differences. One measure that should be taken is to ensure that there are other viable ports so that there isn't such a backlog at Apapa and Tin Can ports.

You're comparing two Africa countries, most of these comparisms you posted do not account for this high difference in prices between two countries.
Sellers in Nigeria are pure greedy bastards, their profit margin is very high, too high. You wouldn't understand this until you order for phone from overseas online stores.

I know this is a sarcasm.

Kenya is much closer to China/Asia where these phones are made than Nigeria.

Nigeria's main port is much busy, probably has greater backlog.

Also, I've never bought an Infinix but I've purchased genuine Samsung's for less in Nigeria than I've seen elsewhere.

It depends on the volume and the vendor. I've bought phones from DCSL in the past and they don't charge a premium.

E Still better pass Kenya by far.. even with all these factors listed out by you

Even in education they are far ahead of Nigeria, how Kenyans do you see in Nigeria? But the reverse is the case

Thanks for the candid assessment.
