When you have / steal billions Nigeria won't send you to jail. Nigeria will want you to forfeit it.


But when you steal hundreds, you are already a jail candidate.

The moment they BBM available to Android and apple, it became useless

It was already becoming useless (to use your own word) at that point. That decision was taken to reverse the slide but, too little too late.

This is the reason why iPhones still sells today despite being so expensive...
Apple will never sell their software or any of its features to another phonemaker, if you want iMessage or FaceTime or airdrop you must buy an iPhone!!
such a shame that blackberry couldn't have such common sense!!

It might be time to move on from BBM. The consumer version of the BlackBerry Messenger will shut down on May 31. Emtek, the Indonesia-based company that partnered with BlackBerry in 2016, just announced the closure. It’s important to note, BBM will still exist and BlackBerry today revealed a plan to open its enterprise-version of BBM to general consumers.

Blackberry shud focus on nice phones and go back to the old software platform if possible and work on an update then phase out of android. Bb 10 was a wack software. The Fone designs after bold 5 especially the infamous z10 and z30 were terrible, battery issues were almost unforgivable. They sunk their own ship sadly.

This should be a clear lesson to all. No matter how well you are doing, never relax, always strive to innovate and improve else........
Who would ever believe a time like this would come for BB considering the way they swept everybody off their feet some years back.

This is a lesson for we all...

We should strive to continiously add value to ourselves...

Some people did the unthinkable just to own a Blackberry then...

I think the BBM had long gone extinct... perhaps BlackBerry only just remembered to say Goodbye officially.

What's app and other social app should take dressing from this...

I blame BlackBerry for sharin BBM with androids and iphones. If BBM was strictly for blackberry users, it would have been among the top 3 messaging platform now. And blackberry wouldnt have died naturally

Blackberry that year grin grin grin grin
I remember how girls used to do the unthinkable because of it. Now its Iphone.

I can never forget when BBZ10 was reigning then, thats how one girl came into the mechanical engineering workshop, brought out her Z10 and waved it in my my face , her hands moved from left to right in a perfectly synchronised oscillatory motion, showing it off proudly. She opened her mouth like she tried to form an accent, then she uttered what makes me still laugh till today ..in a very confusing accent "Please do you have BBM charger" . grin grin grin grin

About half of the people who use Iphones have not used 1/10th of its features .And you see them upgrading every year, just to show off.
Life is in cycles . If you think what you use to brag today won't become obsolete tomorrow, then you are just deceiving yourself .

Invest in things that won't loose value. Land in some parts of Ikorodu and Ifo/Sango is 400-500k . Its better to use an android phone of 30k-50k and have land that would never depreciate in value.

Be Wise

Evidence of Bad decision, they decided to sell their only unique feature "BBM" thinking they are expanding....
I remembered i swore to ditch Blackberry if they ever share BBM with IOS/ Andriod, never knew the whole world made dsame decision....!! grin
