Ndata: What about the Chinese who came into Nigeria under the pretense of opening factories only to start importing and retailing goods?What are our government doing about it? And they use low price to drive Nigerian retailers out of business.And now some of them who have relocated to Ghana to continue their retail business are being driven out.What are they suppose to do now.Our government should look seriously into this issues.I wonder what our immigration department is doing?Most of these Chinese don't have legal document to work in Nigeria.Many don't even have valid visas.Yet they are here running our country men out of business and repatriating the proceeds from this retail business back to their country.

YOU SOUND JUST LIKE THE GHANIANS. The point is our country has so much untapped potential that it should only be an option for any Nigerian to seek business abroad not a necessity. I absolutely disagree with those who say our economy is saturated. The multitude of under-developed sectors that can contribute to our national GDP is evident of that. It's our leaders that we should turn on. They drag the country into the gutter but we all share in the humiliation.

On the part of Ghanians, they display the same brashness and short-sightedness of which most African countries are guilty. It wasn't too long ago that Ghanians were treated like lepers in Cóte d'Ivoire. Going even, but not too, further back puts us at a time where Ghanians were on food rations. Cóte d'Ivoire ran into crisis and Ivoiriens flocked to Ghana and other countries they previously considered inferior - hat in hand if I might add. Ghanians should realise that their prosperous economy is partly as a result of the misfortunes of their neibouring countries. As someone rightly said, simply redirecting investment away from Ghana into neighbouring countries is enough to wreck their economy - their economy is simply not big nor evolved enough to withstand such a shock. They might even be underestimating the contribution of those so- called traders to their economy.

Left to me I hope it doesn't come to that. I'll hate to see another budding African economy collapse, but collapse it can, and the Ghanians should know that. They should note the most recent example, Zimbabwe, and quit being so glum.

Thanks @Lexusgs430, and have a good weekend. God bless.

Many thanks for your contributions and advise. Really appreciated.

**PLEASE CLARIFY TOUCH 3(Two conflicting answers):


- Is Touch 3 9830 or 9860?

If it is 9830, then what is 9860?


Also could anyone please tell me if the ones below have been labelled correctly

Storm 9500 Storm 1

Storm 9520 Storm 2


At the moment I have a number of a couple of Storm 9500 (nearly new and unlocked) How much are these going for.

Once more, thank you very much for your contributions.

God bless you Lexus430. I really appreciate it.

Could anyone please help me:

Every Blackberry has a model number as you all know even though most people refer to them in terms of their nicknames. Could anyone kindly match the Model numbers to their nicknames for me. Of particularly interest are the numbers for Bold 5 & Bold 6.

I am about to bring a number of phones to Naija, but there is just too much confusion with the model numbers even with some of my more informed friends. Please only reply if you're sure so as not to add more confusion. Are the numbers below rightly matched to their NNs, and what are the missing ones? Thanks you very much in advance. God bless you all.
