So because 50% of your friends use iphones, that automatically translates to most nigerians actually use iphones? for starters, how much does an iphone sell for? And you think most nigerians can afford it You are ridiculous.

On the emboldened. I cant agree more with you. In my opinion, i thinks its a very close call between Chinko and Nokia and it all boils down to affordability. You will see a chinco phone with dual sim, mp4 player, internet browser and some other crazy effizy selling for say 12k. what then does anyone expect?

Nokia on the other hand has got affordable phones  with 4k you can actually own a nokia fone.

LMAO at the guy that said iphones are the most commonly used fones in naija? SMH at such an utterance


Read my post properly before you comment. I never said iphones are the most commonly used in Nigeria. Read the conversation leading to the postm then you will understand my point, I hope !!!!

China phones

Sony Ericsson/LG

It's really a very close call between Nokia and China phones. But i think Nokia phones are still a bit more patronized than China phones.
@ Lexus: Most call centre operators use ZTE phones and there are more call centres in Lagos than the number of friends you claim to have. I think ZTE phones are the most widely used.

ZTE is still fall under the CHINA PHONE category. No one knows the number of China brands in the market. It is just safe to put them under the same umbrella(CHINA PHONES).

Islamrules- I agreed with Ur contribution but only disagree with Ipone being on the list. because the trend refers to NIGERIA as a whole not limited to Lagos/Abuja & PH only.

[quote]China/Fake Phones,
Nokia,
Blackberry,
Iphone,
Samsung/LG

Breaking it down,

Nokia is largely sold to common phone users. Due to its economy scope coverage (You can get it at any price, even with 3,000)

Blackberry is the largely sold expensive phones in Nigeria, seconded by Iphone, then Samsung.

Blackberry is still the common expensive phone in Nigeria

What is Iphone doing on this thread? How many people can even afford to buy one? And people keep categorizing it, Na wa o. I'm not even sure if it's going to make the top 20. But when we talk about smartphones, it may struggle to find a place.

Show me your friends, and I will tell you the kind of person you are !!!!!
What you should be saying is, most of your friends use chinko phones, 50 % of my friends use Iphones. (before you comment, I have so so many friends ) !!!!

HA HA, listen to your-self.

100% of I-Phones in the market are locked to one foreign Network(AT&T.e.t.c) or the other.

And until they are unlocked no can use them on Nigerian networks.

Which means less than 1% of Nigerian use I-Phones.
