some people do not understand how these things work. Nigeria Government should be the one regulating these people through the help of SON but no, everybody is busy looting the money and collecting bribes thereby turning Nigeria to a dumping ground I read some peoples comments saying "don't come here to complain cuz they didn't force you to buy". Do you even know the work of a government? Their primary objectives is the protect the interest of the people. Bottom line, consumers are hungry and if you market anything to them, they will buy it. These people are like Physicians and consumers are like patients, so tell me, will a patient refuse what his doctor tells him? Don't you know that if medical profession are not at least merely regulated, they will prescribe anything to their patient just to make more money and they will buy it. Imagine the government let cocaine and other hard drugs flood the market, they will market it well and almost every citizen will try it out and guess were Nigeria will be then..... Regulation is the key. And how they hail do they allow these substandard products in Nigeria and yet they don't have service stations in the country. This is the height of hypocrisy. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

The iPhone is probably locked to foreign network like Verizon or at & t. Let me know if you have intentions to sell it. laprince: |

We nigerians know these phones. We know the best and the counterfeits. Since the producers sees the interest of nigerians on their product. They are mainly using business sense on us. Since majority of us can't buy Iphones, Ipads I think its better we stick to our counterfeit phones. because our government won't take action same as we the masses too. Just keep using the products with care. |

Part of the problem is we buy the latest gadget without asking about after service or doing a little research on the product we intend buying. Don't buy a phone because you saw a friend with one and felt intimated, and carried away on impulse, do your research on it. If you buy your device after doing due research, you won't be tossed to and fro by the winds of product changes by the manufacturers. As our SON is more interested in politics than product Safety and quality, it behooves us to verify the quality of what we intend buying through online customer reviews. A premium quality phone can still meet ones communication and media needs years after. Well, BlackBerry Z10 is not the best phone out there, but it has served me well 3 years and counting. I bought the Z10 after thorough research, its only short coming was/is battery life, which I was aware of before buying and is not much of an issue with my mobile power bank. 2 Likes |

You are 100% correct but the question is '' wat do we do about it''?? The only thing is to accept it the way we see it.. |

delishpot: You are quite right but do not forget that they produce these cheap phones to meet buyer's purchasing power. If these chinese manufacturers increase the phone's ram to say 3GB, with metal body and finish, Gorilla glass 3 or 4, snapdragon cpu with either adreno or mali GPU coupled with all the bells and whistles of high end phones, how many Nigerians would be able to afford it? Sorry but they sell substandard phones to you guys because that is what the people can afford. When the people are ready to pay more, they would get higher quality phones. I mean do you expect a phone of S5, Nexus or iPhone quality for 24000 naira? Be realistic please. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: How Smartphone Makers Are Defrauding Nigerians by delishpot: 8:00am On Jun 10, 2016 |
DerKaiser: I believe Nigerians like quality and they would pay a bit more for it. Nigerians would not mind paying the extra if the product is worth it. Other factors that I see influencing the trend is the govt fees and other expenses the country places on the manufactures for their goods to be allowed into the country. In the end, this affects the price or the quality. If they can't increase price uneccesarily then they reduce the quality to make it up. |

MrMcJay: This is the major problem I am having with electronic products in Nigeria. Buy a gadget and later discover there is no service center for it. It's so bad. That's why I ensure that any phone or higher gadgets am buying must have a service center for repair. |
