nairalanda1:You're right. My post is based on emerging trends in Nigeria right now. Exchange rate has rendered more people poorer. I bought an electronic device in July this year for N275k. I visited the brand's page this morning to check the new price and I saw N435k. Same device, same brand, same website. |

Best option is to buy unknown brands as known brands are expensive like Pinephone , Fairphone etc. They're more cheaper than known brands like Nokia , Infinix etc. |

Roboto11:It's the duty of government to encourage and support local production. There's only so much individual citizens can do about it. An example for your perusal https://www.google.com/url?q=https://punchng.com/us-supports-18000-nigerian-small-businesses-with-244m/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiLm9zDrJaCAxWYT0EAHeKDCCcQFnoECAAQAg&usg=AOvVaw3rlyb_-LSNkX-H8KirocLv |

Also considering the US has over 300 million people, and all those countries above the US in the list, put together do not even reach 300 million. For sure the US has the most number of Iphone users. The level of Iphone craze in a poor country like Nigeria, with a very low purchasing power, is beyond me though. Even though majority are second hand devices. Unfortunately, with very minimal exports and lack of industries that will attract investors (NO interest in the Naira), Nigeria has little control over the Naira slide against the dollar and other foreign currencies.

Bossman:You're right about the population and the level of iphone crase in Nigeria. We saw the same trend in the days of blackberry. This trend has caused many to live above their means. |

Roboto11:let's be realistic here,roughly 50% of Nigeria imports that needs dollars are consumed by refined oil products and plastics,if we have functional refineries not only will we slash the dollar needs for these two products but also another by product of oil refining which is fertilizer,people like me thinks that if the government cannot properly maintain our refineries which is now a matter of national security they don't have any business governing,bad and visionless leadership is the problem with Nigeria not the masses,and I doubt if any SME manager or factory manager in Nigeria today will make such comment you made |

Ororocelemi:The Problem is with the Dollar-Naira Rate caused by Devaluation of Our Fuel Price. Things will surely continue to be expensive in this country, sadly. Meanwhile; Let's Face Ours.
