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.

so you actually expect baba rashidi earning somewhere between 15k to 18k per month from his security job to afford an S5 of over 100k, please be realistic here.

This is why i usually wonder how black man became so silly.

So you mean it is good to import inferior drugs in Nigeria as long as you wont force people to buy it?
Whats your brain IQ again?

I can bet your next question would be "Drug is different from phone"

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.

StreamerBlogger:

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.

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[b].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. I[/b]f 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.

e.g this user is just an example of the millions of gullible nigerians, that's why we are not growing

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?

ipledge5:
Why will you buy Chinco in the first place...the day I Chinese gal told me she doesn't know tekno/tecno thats when I know those Chinco produce those fake phones for Africa...BTW if you want to buy use Chinese phone, buy Huawei

Why are you blaming konga tell us you bought the spark tablet for 10k. Didn't you see Tecno win pad or iPad or samsung tab. You where attracted to buy it cause it's cheap and you know it's substandard but u still bought it. Oh plss..
