Meet Nnamdi Ezeigbo, the Owner of SLOT, Tecno and Infinix Mobile Brands


The love and the hustle to get high-end phones won’t ever go away, because of the various brand of phones in the market today. Amazing still is that while some prefer a particular brand of phone over another for no reason, some just stick with whatever brand can give them what they are looking for in a phone.

You will agree with me that the fastest selling phone brands in Nigeria now are the, Infinix or Tecno phones but, these brands were in the past believed to be what we call “Chinko Phones” (China Made Phones); the truth is, whether you go with the Infinix or the Tecno phone, you are buying from the same company or individual, and he isn’t a Chinese man, no! He is a Nigerian.

Meet Nnamdi Ezeigbo, a native of Umuahia, Abia state, the founder and CEO of Slot Systems Limited, and also the co-founder of the Tecno and Infinix phone brands, which are currently one of the fastest selling mobile phones in Nigeria. Born on the 4th of August, 1966, in Delta state, Nigeria. He started his primary school education at Pamol primary school, Sapele, and further had his secondary school education at Ogini grammar school and Ogharefe, in Delta state.

He proceeded to Yaba College of Technology in 1988, where he studied Electrical Electronics Engineering, and got a Higher National Diploma (HND), he had his mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) year at Guiness Nigeria PLC, in 1996. Nnamdi Ezeigbo further proceeded to study Computer & Electronics Engineering at the Lagos State University (LASU), between the years 1996 to 2001, and graduated with a Second Class Upper result. He later acquired a Masters degree in Information Technology at the Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomoso, in the year 2008/2009.

After searching for job with no avail, he decided to become an apprentice learning how to fix computers, however, six months into his apprenticeship, he decided to move on from his employer because his boss was more into making money than building a solid customer relationship. Nnamdi, went on to squat with a friend at Ikeja, where he was able to increase his customer base, due to his sincerity and customer relationship goals.

Luck smiled on him, when an old customer he knew from his days as an apprentice, came to the little shop he shared with his friend to see him. The customer asked him if he could continue fixing his computers, and also requested that Nnamdi move to a much bigger shop. To help him get started, the customer brought some printers for him to sell, from which he used the proceeds to get a bigger shop for himself. He paid 180,000 Naira for the new place and continued with selling computers; he eventually bought the place over, years later for 100 million Naira and so the story of SLOT began

However, the need for an expansion didnt come until customers started demanding for phones, and requesting for other branches of SLOT closer to them. Seeing this as an opportunity, he proceeded to Lagos Business School, to learn how to better manage his growing business; More so, with the increasing challenge of phones with poor network coverage at the time and people carrying multiple phones, Namdi approached Nokia, with the intention of convincing them to manufacture dual SIM phones, a proposal Nokia company rejected believing it will slow down the sale of their single sim phones which were in vogue at the time. That was not enough to discourage him however, as he proceeded to China.

According to his interview with Nairametrics, Nnamdi said; “So I went to China and got a guy who had worked with a company called Bird then. Bird was into phones but they got choked and lost market share. I met with the guy and asked the guy to let us do something. I came with that name and I registered it here and brought the guy to Nigeria. And that was the high point of our business. We came together and I designed the first Tecno phone, Tecno T101. We started it but the market did not accept it and we also had problem with the dual SIM not working together and we had to make corrections and we came with Tecno 201 and that was a bit accepted by the market. But we were basically giving marketers on credit to sell the phones and then pay us later. And I was funding it all alone.”

“Since I was funding it alone, we were finding it difficult to get the right quantity to sell until the market started accepting us. What I now did was to make them pay in advance, I mean the dealers. So we started using their money to order the products. This was around 2007. The introduction of Tecno brand was the turning point of our business.”

“Like I said, Tecno is my baby and we kept improving. I knew a day would come when the middle class would accept Tecno. Initially, it was a phone for low income people but based on improvement and upping our game, the middle class had to accept it and when the economy went down in 2008 that helped Tecno to move to the top. Since purchasing power had dropped, they had to go for something that have same capabilities but cheaper. So with N15,000, you could buy a Smartphone and thank God for 3G network. The advent of 3G network actually helped Tecno to move up. So students who could not afford to buy phones in the range of N30,000 could buy one for N15,000 and enjoy features of Smartphone like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and so on.”

“Tecno now gave birth to Infinix. It is the same company. You can now see how the brand has evolved. So looking at the Nigerian people, you would see that a phone like Tecno will get a point when premium customers will like to use it.”

Nnamdi Ezeigo, C.E.O Slot ltd

The resourcefulness of Nigerians has always amazed and fascinated me. The stories of people moving from grass to grace, making something virtually out of nothing.
Instead of just sitting around complaining about how bad the economy is, how government has not been living up to expectations, and all other irregularities hampering success, it is good to know that some few Nigerian has gone the extra mile to cave not just a niche for themselves but also a great name too.

A SURPRISE

I looked at the mobile phone industry and what l found out will surprise you as a Nigerian.
We have the big players in the industry like SAMSUNG, IPHONE AND SONY,MOTOROLA AND NOKIA and so on

but the story behind

TECNO, INFINIX AND ITEL and their bold presence in the Nigeria mobile market and the whole of Africa despite the odds against them by the big players has always intrigued and inspired me and they could have close to same effect on you.

Now here is the thing: let me give you a quick run on these phones, so that we will be on the same page here:

TECNO MOBILE:

INDUSTRY ………………………………………………………………….. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS.
HEAD QUARTERS……………………………………………………….. HONG KONG.
FOUNDED………………………………………………………………….. 2006.
AREA OF FOCUS…………………………………………………………. AFRICA.
PRODUCTS ………………………………………………………………… MOBILE PHONES.
PARENT COMPANY …………………………………………………… TRANSSION HOLDINGS
COMPANY SLOGAN ………………………………………………….. “EXPERIENCE MORE”
WEBSITE ADDRESS …………………………………………………… WWW.TECNO-MOBILE.COM

Now where does all that data above lead us to.

Notice that Tecno mobile belongs to Trassion Holdings, and the company is based in Hon Kong.
Here is what you really do not know ‘bout Tecno:

Tecno Mobile is owned by a Nigerian.

The company did not just emerge but came into existence
Through the idea of one man.

A true Nigerian,

NNAMDI EZEIGBO.


♦ Infinix too is owned by a Nigerian.
♦ itel is owned by a Nigerian too.
♦ Tecno, infinix and itel are all owned by Transsion holdings.
♦ Infinix is not a competitor to Tecno as you formerly thought, they are actually like brothers and
Sisters, ltel too is a member of same family.
♦ As at Q1 Tecno captured more than 50% of the total smart phone market in Africa.
♦ So whether you buy Tecno Itel or Infinix your money ends up in the same coffer.

Just for the RECORDS,

these phone are owned by the same person and organization but they have separate websites, operates separately and have different and separates modes of doing business and penetrating the market through different angles.

It’s not actually within the jurisdiction of this post to go at length into how NNamdi Ezeigbo did this.

However, one thing is sure that this guy started from barely nothing and worked himself through to the top. I Googled that man’s name and his life story is a real affirmation to the truth that ‘quitters never win and winners never quit’.

All it takes is for you to take the time to find out what your passions are, follow through with planed and calculated efforts to swim against the odds.
Take necessary training where possible and needed,

tell the world you have something to contribute and go out there to stamp your foot on the pages of history.

Always remember to start small. I tell everyone and any one that wants to hear that “there is no such thing as a mega success; we only have bits and bits of successes that translate to mega success”.

THE IGBO ENTREPRENEUR IN THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF NIGERIA
Olanrewaju Akinpelu OLUTAYO
[b]Department of Sociology, Faculty of the Social SciencesUniversity of Ibadan
ABS[/b]TRACTCentral to the capitalist orientation introduced to the Third World nationsthrough colonialism is the role of entrepreneurs in development. This group is still perceivedas inevitable if these nations are to develop. In spite of all the attempts to develop date, verylittle is being achieved.While this monograph recognises the importance of entrepreneurs in development, itasserts that these entrepreneurs have always existed in pre-colonial Nigeria but the re-orien-tation brought about through capitalism has fundamentally affected the pre-colonial situation.As such, there is a disjuncture between the latter and the present capitalist expectation.More importantly, the author tries to debunk the position of certain European writers thatcertain ethnic groups are better entrepreneurs than others. Thus, the responsiveness of theIgbo ethnic group of Nigeria to European economic incentives was a result of a certain his-torico-sciological position that this group occupies in Nigeria. It is posited that as the nationapproaches the twenty-
fi
rst-century, one cannot say with certainty that ethnicity should be themain consideration for entrepreneurial ability. It is the political economy of each nationwithin the World Capitalist System that will determine the emergent scenario.

If you are from Anambra and you are not making plans to move or grab the the opportunities presently abound in the state then I feel sorry for you because in a few years from now you will deeply regret it. I visited Awka last year and I was shocked at what's happening there. Personally I am already working on moving back with my every every, got a couple of lands already. Another thing that tripped me was those fine looking police cars packed at different part of the city, looks like what you see in the movies, their presence were really comforting when driving at night. Talking about night life that one is something else, my trip to Awka made me realize that I can make money, enjoy my money and still feel at HOME!

Uche gi ndi ya, the state dey sweet me die low crime, night life, calm people, I have moved to Anambra already, I don't want story that touch the heart, Awka expecially is fun and beautiful. Read more about my story here
