You are ignorant and shortsighted.

Intelligent Nigerian with foresight knows that Tinubus policies are what is best for the Country.
We know we would face hard times but it better we face the hard times right now to fix it than grow old into a dead country.

You cant eay your bread and have it.

This is a process.
Its like renovating a house, the house gets messes up, some walls a broken, Windows removed, door pylled down etc but its all for the greater good
He still hasnt done what is needed really. Subsidy on power and petrol is still there, corruption is still there, and we still have to get a handle on security.

He didn't say phone swapping was never part of the system but is on the increase as new people go for it and those buying new ones have decreased.....

“The money spent on importing these phones is also increasing. From charges at the ports, dollar rate, logistics among other things.

“We are also struggling just like our customers.”

Investigations revealed that the current prices of most popular phone brands have increased.
The price of phones of brands like Samsung, Infinix, Nokia, Techno, Microsoft, Xiaomi Redmi and Itel phones with smaller gigabytes of Read Only Memory (ROM) and Read Access Memory (RAM) with low or medium battery power ranges from N70,000 to N90,000.

Those with higher ROM and RAM goes for N150,000 above which were sold at N70,000 before.
Mrs. Demilade Raymond, a salary earner, said she swapped her Techno pop 5 for a higher grade last month.

“My old phone, Techno Pop 5 , had little space. Most times it hangs whenever I don’t relieve it from large documents it stores.

“I have been using the phone for almost three years.

“The manager at the phone store where I did the swapping said the phone series was highly sought after by some people.

“He valued the phone at N30,000. I was asked to add N70,999 to get the new model of my choice.
“At least I have a new phone now and spend less.”


Mr. Daniel Apata, a mechanic said he swapped his android phone for a non android phone (“Palasa or torchlight phone” as it is popularly called).

“When I visited the phone store, I requested to swap my android phone for another thinking I will just add N20,000 to get a new phone.

“But I was surprised when my old phone was valued at N20,000.

“I had no choice but to swap for a non android phone by adding N5,000.
“It is better than nothing.”
