I got this breakdown of the production price and retail price and it left me with the conclusion that buying it is so irrational.



Wisdom and savings are the elements of wealth.

Never knew you work there oo. 5 gbosas for you

Phone is a brand, Apple is a brand. Even if Tecno make a phone with the same spec, it won't sell at the same retail price. Branding is important. Very important. Branding with quality products and services is very important...

jeso kreste

What about the mental sense of putting those parts together

Ok..

Whhhhaaaatttt!!!!

na brand i go chop? Abi my tecno or infinix wont satisfy my needs in a smartphone, hyping too much, making you to reason with snus, if I'm as rich as dangote i will be using a phone that is cheaper than 120k, quote at your own peril

chief go and research d cost of producing drugs and compare to their market price, u'll be convinced dat Apple is still in d Bsc phase of extortion etiquette

hehehehehe... Your mentality is as expected.
Your view from the perspective of a consumer and I am thinking like a producer. Buy what you can afford or what makes sense to you. Your opinion will not stop people from buying the product here in Nigeria, even in this economic loophole we got ourselves in. Even as rich as Dangote is, he has got his own taste: he can't do cheap cars! ..... Maybe you're a student, maybe you still live with your parents. Maybe you're tenant, you will wanna build your own mansion to your taste and you'd probably buy Dangote cement, won't you? Or, would you?

My brother, we are from different worlds, I am a Martian.

Advice: Learn to express your opinion without insulting. 'twill help your spirit and make it pure!

That's apple for u

Where do u think the money they use for marketing comes from? How will dey pay their engineers? Do u even know how much the mental effort put into the phone innovations cost? Do u know how many staffs apple hv to pay their salaries? Tecno cannot bill u such because they are aware the product isnt worth the price tag. There's something called goodwill, its like comparing an Aston martin car to a Toyota car. Thats how business works. No offence intended

If this is iPhone 7, How much will tecno c8 cost? $25

Hmmmmm.... Extortion

Money for commercials. And other parts. Battery. Ear piece.
