The reason why they are cheaper is the same reason cars from the UAE(Dubai) are cheaper than almost everywhere : China phone manufacturers use kenya as a trans shipment point to elsewhere in SSA. Basically, its like going to buy at the wholesalers shop,its bound to be cheaper. Most phones landing at the port are not exclusively for the kenya market but for uganda,rwanda,congo dr and south sudan. In fact in when travelling to uganda from kenya,the uganda police are very strict with people who cross the border to kenya to buy phones on the cheap for onward sale in uganda, so they conduct serious search on luggage. 1 Like |

the reasons are not far fetched. dollar rates that is like the loyalty of some nigerian politicians, customs duties, logistics, security and the bizness acumen of middle men and retailers all add to the price gap between the two countries. |

seguno2:The Doctors were on strike for 3 months in what was the longest Doctors strike we have ever heard. The strike ended a month ago,it is not ongoing. And who told you teachers are not paid on timeThat has only happened once, due to a banking hitch in 2014 that delayed their salaries by 2 days. If you think teachers have gone on strike in Kenya over delayed salaries, that has never hppened.The go on strike over SALARY INCREASES.Not salary delays. We have not had salary delays since the early 90s. 1 Like 1 Share |

SUPERPACK:No.You cannot.Because our payment systems like MPESA are closed to Nigerians(or anyone outside of East Africa, except South Africa) and Jumia Kenya does not ship to Nigeria. You will only find the shipping options being restricted to Kenyan Counties and cities. The same way vice versa cannot work either. 1 Like |

GERALD710: Population of Lagos is less than half of Kenya's, while the GDP is significantly greater. What is your point? |

There must be an economic reason for that. To begin let me wish you HAPPY EASTER if you are a Christian! Remember to be focused for your year 2017 money-making goals.. If you ate chicken provided by a benefactor this time around, be sure by the next celebration you will be the proud provider with earnings from your training investment today! Wishing you greater depth than your teacher! I was at my favourite wheel balancing & alignment shop recently. 2 hrs of my time there, 10 cars, 3k each(NGN 30k). And it was still 12 PM - small business you say?. You do the sum for what is being averaged per month!. My point? Most people, even graduates ignore daily income services sector. All they see is the dirt, presumed indignity on those who do them. An empty pocket from no job or an underpaid job is far more indignifying. If u are educated, start small but grow it, package it well and employ others, while you supervise.The same applies to smartphones and Tablets Repairs business, depending on your skills and acumen.

mmsen: His point is well made. Bragging about GDP size is senseless when the standard of living, as reflected in the Human Development Index HDI, is terrible. Lagos state is a terrible place to live compared to Kenya. No more, no less. 1 Like |

seguno2: If Lagos has a much higher GDP (per capita and PPP) then how do you come to such a foolish conclusion? |
Re: Infinix Phones Cost Far Cheaper In Kenya Than Nigeria, Why? by seguno2: 9:01am On Apr 17, 2017 |
mmsen: Firstly there is no measurement of the GDP for Lagos state in isolation from that of Nigeria. If you have a credible source for that, please share. Secondly, Kenya is higher on the HDI than Nigeria and Lagos state. Go and read about HDI before you comment and embarrass yourself further. |
Re: Infinix Phones Cost Far Cheaper In Kenya Than Nigeria, Why? by mmsen: 9:05am On Apr 17, 2017 |
seguno2: So Ambode lied to the press and public when he said that Lagos's GDP is 131 billion dollars compared to Kenya's 64 billion dollars. https://newsofnigeria.com/lagos-state-gdp-hits-131-billion/ https://qz.com/676819/lagos-is-africas-7th-largest-economy-and-is-about-to-get-bigger-with-its-first-oil-finds/ Where is your proof that Kenya's HDI is higher than that of Lagos state? I think it is you who is ignorant of that which you speak. |
Re: Infinix Phones Cost Far Cheaper In Kenya Than Nigeria, Why? by seguno2: 9:16am On Apr 17, 2017 |
mmsen: Yes, Ambode was telling lies as usual. I repeat, there is no credible separate information about the GDP of Lagos state. If you find it, share it. Are you suddenly too lazy to find out the meaning of HDI and the ranking of Lagos/Nigeria and Kenya? How did you become suddenly lazy? |
Re: Infinix Phones Cost Far Cheaper In Kenya Than Nigeria, Why? by mmsen: 9:21am On Apr 17, 2017 |
seguno2: So when you want proof I find it but you can't find proof to substantiate your tales I'm lazy? You made a claim that you cannot prove and now you're hiding behind cheap insults. Your arguments have no basis - you have no evidence that Ambode lied about GDP (or about anything else). You cannot prove that HDI in Lagos is lower than that in Kenya. |
Re: Infinix Phones Cost Far Cheaper In Kenya Than Nigeria, Why? by seguno2: 9:26am On Apr 17, 2017 |
mmsen: Do not perish for lack of knowledge. Below for your free education. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_Human_Development_Index Meanwhile you are yet to provide a credible source for the lie told by Ambode about the phantom isolated GDP of Lagos state. 1 Like |

seguno2: You can't tell the difference between Lagos stats and Nigeria or are you intentionally playing stupid... I reiterate that you don't know what you are talking about and are now hiding behind silly games because my point stands. GDP per capita is higher in Lagos than Kenya. |
