The smartphone market is fiercely competitive worldwide.

While Apple has been making headlines in Europe and America, Research in Motion, the company behind Blackberry, is looking elsewhere.

In Nigeria, there are four million people using smartphones, and half of those phones are BlackBerry's. In the next four years, that number is expected to hit 25 million.

Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege reports from Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos.

Surprise ? Nah, I'm not surprise about what they can do.

Nigerians loves materialistic things, a news came out of recent in UK that says NIGERIANS are the biggest tourist spendder when their roads are death traps .....yes they spend but they don't on practical things, we never get our priorities right.

Living falsely is one of our biggest problems such as buying things we can't SUSTAIN or not NEEDED for a PURPOSE as well as buying cars that's more than their income and they leave in CRAP HOUSE.

What a way of life same as the ROUGE LEADERS buying houses in EUROPE & AMERICA without living in it and by law you must pay what's called COUNCIL TAX every month.

Can someone tell me what that's all about
WRONG PRIORITY AND GREED this are reason why things are bad in our country and some household.
