myopic statement..take it back bro

They will nt force u to buy it, did they? Thats what u get when u say nokia is costly and wanted to change phones like inner wear.

A case where phone makers deliberate set out to rip off the wallet of Nigerians with juicy marketing, only to make a U-turn and do what they ought to do in the first instance. What do I mean? Now, I have seen a couple of phone makers make a certain phone with 1GB RAM, and then 3-months later, they release the same phone with 2GB RAM and add appellations like “Plus, Max, Pro” at the end of the original name. These OEM’s have no “trade-in” policy, they deliberately want Nigerians to dump their new phone and purchase the same phone with a re-branded name. Ouch!

For other phone makers, they make the two variant, 1GB RAM and 2GB RAM, release only the 1GB version in Nigeria and send the two 2GB version to Kenya and UAE because those countries have a government – This is fraud!

The United States has a regulatory body called FCC that checks the quality and authenticity of phones coming into their country. Even the highly rated Xaiomi had a tough time entry the U.S market because of the standards the Chinese OEM had to meet.

Over here in Nigeria, the Standard Organization of Nigeria and NCC allows anything into Nigeria, as if our dear country is dumping ground for some of these phones that should be destroyed at the shores of Nigeria.

I earlier decried the so-called Yezz Mobile Jumia wanted to flood into the market, I am glad the brand was dead on arrival. There are other OEM’s who have established their brand in Nigeria, but now take us for granted with their bizarre business policy – This is fraud, it is dumb and delusional.

It’s even more disheartening that some OEM’s create phones without parts and accessories. They don’t want to offer repair services even when they know their stuff is inferior, they want you to keep buying the same sh!t with the money they don’t deserve.

As much as it is a fraud, I don't see any reason why I should dump my former phone for a new one without at least a good reason.

I have had an iPhone 6+ (a gift) for more than 9months now. I left it packed. Since I got it, does not pick network. So, I took it to some guys in computer village.They told me to bring 30k to update the software, so I can use it in Nigeria.

I just laughed and went to keep it in my wardrobe.

Why should I use all that money to work on the phone when I have a samsung galaxy that is in PERFECT condition? Good battery life and other things. And a steady nokia phone, for my second sim.

I don't like such wastage.

olumig:
But we could insist on quality it starts from somewhere

Debaddest:
The fault is so called Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON), they dnt know their work.

SycophanticGoat:


No mind am.. Same person will come out to probably shout it out that politicians are corrupt. Now look at his utterances. Goes to show Nigerians can take any type of nonsense dished out to them, the suffering and smiling mentality. Little wonder our network providers mess with us and we keep on taking their mess ups...

delishpot:



Typical oversabi Nigerian response. They do not seek to fix anything rather they blame their own people for the actions of others. This brother is educating people who do not know to warn them and make us demand better service but nope, the typical Back stabbing and betrayer of their very own race Negros will surely come out to defend the master. In the years gone, your kind is known as a "house Nigger"




By not spending money to buy these phones Nigerian market can force these manufactures to do better.
Its same with every other product, they send lowest quality to Nigeria and send the best to countries whose leaders are interested in doing their jobs. Making sure things happen as it should.
Even airliners send their shittiest planes to fly African destinations. But that is what our leaders have reduced us to. They have made us the bottom feeders of the word

StreamerBlogger:
or xiomi or one plus... Dis are d only highly rated Chinese phones in the world

DerKaiser:


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.

Mrjo:
u are the 1 nt me.

StreamerBlogger:
They both came same time.. Not 1 coming two months after the other... I can never forget wat tecno did to me with their tecno phantom A... When they released phantom A I bought it only a week later dey brought phantom A+ out for Same prize, but the A+ better in different areas and all I was pissed.

Mrjo:
They will nt force u to buy it, did they? Thats what u get when u say nokia is costly and wanted to change phones like inner wear.

delishpot:



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.

ipledge5:
to think of it...with all buy Chinese mentality of Chinese,they don't use those thrashs,they are the highest users of iPhone in the world

MrMcJay:
The greatest culprits are the online shopping sites who help with the procurement, advertising, sales and distribution of these substandard products.

I bought a TV for my old folks on Konga and about 8 months after use, it suddenly went blank. Unfortunately, it was past its warranty period and Konga sold me an electronic product from a company without a service Company in Nigeria.

As for Standards Organisation of Nigeria, those ones are busy playing Candy Crush in their offices. Buhari should just transfer all of them to go and plant tomatoes in Kebbi.

Emekayoung:

Dont blame them,its just a market strategy. There is no way Phantom A would have been sold if it was released together wit A+.. And so that's why they did it that way. Hope u got my point.
