For Glo users, this is a little calculation.

Don't buy data from reseller. Since here is about getting value for money, let me drop this here.

I normally buy 5k data (that's 24gb with my normal 100% if i subscribe withing 72 hours(3 days).

Am on bumpa tariff plan, i get 10,000 for voice call to all network at 55k per second and 4 Naira per text messages, which translate into roughly 303 minutes of call time and 15 days validity.
The cheapest Glo data i had seen is 4100 for 24gb with d normal 100% bonus attached. That's without the free calls of 10k for 15 days o.

Funny thing is, i buy airtime from wholesaler, and the 5k airtime i use will cost 4650. That's 550 naira higher than Dan data i can get from reseller. Is the 550 naira worth 10k call time? Even if am on Glo 15k per second to all network (61 minutes).
Funny thing is, i normally keep 200 naira recharge card with me and set a reminder on my phone and extend my bonus airtime with 5 days every time i recharge 200 naira before my airtime expiration (15 days initially)
Note: I don't wait for 15 days before i recharge 200 naira, i do so at 14th day and if i still have data left after 14 + 5 days, i will recharge 200 naira again and my bonus call time increases by another 5 days and it goes on like that till my data expires on 30th day. In order words, with 5k, i wount spend money on airtime throughout d month. The only advantage data seller has over subscription from Glo is, data rollover.
So, if Glo SME reseller doesn't make it super cheap, it's not worth it at all. And for new Glo subscribers, they will be on Glo jolifi8 which gives more airtime and free data to send even as gift and even another free data for them o embarassed

Patapata, dem go sell at d rate of tecno n infinix n Pple eye go open say Infinix n Tecno don dey rip dem off.

How many phones tecno n infinix sell in d first half of dis year? I am sure both combine cnt even be up to wat xiaomi sold in Q2 of dis 2017. If truly tecno n infinix wan prove power, make dem enter china n india and make xiaomi sef enter africa. Na dia we go sabi wu b who.


before u hype dis, i know u only read were suit u, if u read its full text u will see all the point I've highlighted since yesterday and i know dat has vindicated my stand

before u hype how much sales dey hav made remember
Xiaomi compete in major country India and China

China has a population of 1.2 billion people


Indian has a population of about 1.4 billion people


this means that xiaomi operate in a market of about 2.6 billion people and non of these two country they are number one, why becus his core business model focuses on online rather than offline

if he dare change that model and concentrate more on an offline structure ( suit the african market) then his over head cost will shot up and his prices won't be d same

even in india his business philosophy in d india market

Tecno Infinix Itel, Goonee, runs d show here in Africa, becus they understand d dynamics of d African market

xiaomi has shown u dat dey runs d show in China and india

Tecno Infinix has show u that dey run d show in Africa

Now that Xiaomi has been in India, they’re beginning to shift their business model in India. In order to grow their device catalog and reduce their prices, Xiaomi is focusing on these strategies:


Increased spending on marketing: Even though they typically spend almost no money on marketing, Xiaomi is launching traditional newspaper advertisements in India to try and sell more smartphones and reach rural users. Xiaomi is also opening 100 experience stores across India where users can try out Xiaomi devices, but they will continue to sell the devices through flash sales on Flipkart. As users get a chance to test run the smartphone before they buy, their interest in the device could drive more sales

with this business model they can never be dominate in the African Market, and Tecno Infinix can't just b displace in Africa

and if Xiaomi chose to compete in africa and use's the model that suit Africa market, pricing won't stay the same and once that pricing change Tecno and Infinix will still retain their spot as the Giant of Africa market
