EZEIGBO1OFIMO: I believe OP was talking about quality? If Nokia has a very good brand that I can buy for #15k and it is solid and doing what it is built to do efgiciently and they have another I can buy for #150k with better options and all what not(which justifies the difference in price) and it is solid, if I can afford the #15k one and enjoy it well isn't it enough? Why should I spend the #15k and still find that it was just a box of shii? |

Konga is guilty of this... I remember when I got spark tablet from them... Thank God the one I got was good as others complain of different problems. Sold it and the person is on my neck to get the screen replacement after he broke it ... The worst is that konga don't even care to offer any after sale service on most of these products. |

Op I disagree with you in some cases, you forget the main reasons why you find this products on koga and jumia is because they sell quickly because they are cheap. I have sold phones before and I can tell you Nigerian are friend's with chinko products. They leave the likes of Samsung and HTC and ask you for phones like malata, omata etc and you wonder how stupid they are. You preach heaven and earth to make them change their minds but at the end they want a cheap phone. I once sold an itel android phone for 5k and the customer came complaining all the time and inside me I was like it serves you right, I remember how I advised her not to buy that phone even though I was the person selling but she refused to listen and learnt the hard way. If SON stop the influx of these devices Nigerians will fight them and say they left expensive phones in the market for the poor masses to buy. |

the illiteracy and corrupt stupidity of the NCC & SON are the main reason we see these rubbish..people saying ''U AINT FORCED'' are still those lacking knowledge about smart phones,...people saying ''LETS MANUFACTURE'' d@t would be a gud ideal as many tech engineers and youths would be employed,..but come on,, there are many countries d@t dont even manufacture phones and yet still gets better phones that match the taste of their techs and buyers...these chineese O.E.M are not even recognised in their coun3,.have u ever wondered why tecno sold mostly in africa?..its because we are ignorant and not ready to learn,.and these manufacturers discovered this weak point and used it to their advantage..am not saying we should just empty our wallet just 4 an iphone or samsung s7,..but @least what we are buyin should be something of value for our money.if u can rem..tecno and other chiness brand (in its category) dont even upgrade untill recently.probably its because they think africans dont mind..just immagine [/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

TechRez: I don't see how what you described above is fraud. If a manufacturer releases a 2GB version of a phone you earlier bought with 1GB, doe that make your phone useles? Does the extra 1GB in the new version remove any features from your current version? You have the option to buy or to be happy with your current phone. A lot of Nigerians are just too sentimental for my liking. 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is a non issue. It is written there 1G RAM. Stick with the 2nd RAM phones. Don't buy if d specifications don't meet ur need. If d price is equivalent as in other countries, then no 1 has defrauded you. D 1G RAM comes into d country because dat is wat some of us can afford. If u can afford better insist and buy better. |

delishpot:and is baba rashidi going to enjoy the android experience on the Nokia. as much as we all want to scream quality and warranty and all other corporate jargon, we have to be grateful at least to these chinese for bringing the expensive to the common man. There was a time cowbell was the laughing stock of the diary market when they rolled out sachet milk; but today, it turned out not to be less quality, small, non nutritious milk, but what every milk producer does today. |

If a phone like 2gb,ram,they will install 1gb non erasable app.Whereby,there will be little space left. |

grossintel:uve got it wrong sir,...SON is not soppose to pursue them just like d@t but let them know that these below par products should be upgradable to the taste of consumers.and even if SON pursued dem, other brands would come (with consumers taste @ the back of their minds). I sincerly think they are not doing their work or they are illiterates to tech... 1 Like |

Based on the price your are willing to pay... This is Nigeria oga... Where people will see Fresh Tomatoes.. And go to for half Rotten ones ......

Re: How Smartphone Makers Are Defrauding Nigerians by Nobody: 8:53am On Jun 10, 2016 |
delishpot:The only situation I agree with the Op which he didn't even mention are in cases where these products are cloned and sold in Nigeria. For example we all know Nokia touch is a common man phone with excellent battery life. But if you go to top dealers in the market to buy it, it sells around 7k now because of the present dollar hike. So a security man who earns 10k monthly will simply pretend he didn't see those big shops and go to the road side seller screaming original Nokia phone 1,500 and buy from him. Two weeks later the phone is dead then he comes here to shout Nigerian is a dumping ground. |
