Nothing lasts forever. BBM is a highly imitable product btw, unless you're buying off competitors like big conglomerates do (Facebook/WhatsApp, Nestle, General Electric, PZ, LG, etc.) no imitable product can survive the market.

We are in a knowledge economy, where knowledge and information are out there for all at no cost.

Ordinary Bigi is about to displace Coca-Cola and La casera in Nigeria by simply offering extra centilitres of their so called secret flagship recipe. Innovate or die.

Tecno should also prepare for its eventual death come 2020/2021.

The fashion of this world passeth away.


I remember when it was a status symbol to have a BlackBerry phone. But today?

iPhone is now in vogue, enjoy while it lasts.

Hmm...... Time will always tell. Many people landed in a life embarrassment because of blackberry device, and now it's no where to be found. Talk much on ladies who in there lifetime then that causes chaos here and there, stealing of different style.

Wait, it will soon go down...

They should have found a way to link up bbm messenger with individual personal phone number and squash the bbm pin ideology. This would have made it better in competing with whatsapp and other messaging app platform. To me, it was actually a strong contender if not for the added stress of users generating and craming their individual pin number that you will further be shared with others.

And funny enough, as at then, it will always look nice.

Gone are the days to at which one will wait for a 5mb music track for almost fifteen minute, yet be happy to have the track.

Smile... Life goes on!

I guess new innovation may still comes up, the moment whatsapp launch his advert on it platform...which may give room for competitive market.

still the best messaging app in my opinion.

I hate the fact that peeps get to chat with you on whatsapp just by having your phone number

An average blackman IQ Is very low thus they hardly think out of the box. If u don't want anyone to just have access to your whatsApp. Don't use your Main Line to register on the App. Get a seperate No for the App....Then u will be selective of the people u want to chat with. Simple as ABC.

Am afraid what might happen to Nigeria soon, and I will explain why.

I remember when Nokia was reigning I can't believe 4-5 years later I would be able to buy BlackBerry Curve.

When I saw Android devices on foreign magazines I was wondering if I would have the chance to own one.
2-3 years later I bought one.

Then we heard that 4G LTE is coming I was wondering if I could afford to experience it, 2-3 years later people in my village are connected to the 4G LTE network.

Now we are hearing that 5G is coming hopefully in 2-3 years I will experience it.

Now why I said Nigeria might soon be in trouble, anything that has to do with technology comes so fast that Electric cars will soon replace fuel vehicles.

Just like a joke Nigeria is not taking into consideration that European countries are switching from fuel cars to Electric Power cars by 2025 that's like 5-6 years from now.

We are not the owners of Hyundai, Toyota, Honda and other car brands to say we can stop the manufacturing of electric cars.

By then the demand for crude oil will decline and that means oil might fall to $10-15 per barrel. That means we are falling into recession for life like Venezuela.

Nigeria must act fast and stop all these unnecessary politics cos if Honda and Toyota starts mass production of Electric cars Nigeria will be in trouble.

Something Nigeria has not even started preparing for.

Soon there will be no more reason to fight for resource control. It won't be worth much. We have only about 5 years to find an alternative income source as a nation.

I can't believe I still have a BlackBerry Passport grin

Well, I still need another smartphone with Qwerty keypad because it's superfast to type on it. Besides, those keys have a good feel.

I checked BlackBerry android and saw BlackBerry Key2.

Guess what, the price is over #120k.

That company is not serious!

I think the ability of someone to PING was the best thing that ever happened to BBM. When that happens,your phone vibrates!

What I am even saying? Do you know you can show your friends the music you are listening to from BBM?

Unlike WhatsApp, changing and viewing dp on BBM happens in a split second.

You are right: BBM pins make it super private messaging app.

Indeed, BBM and WhatsApp are worlds apart.
