TechNews By Topmag.pw

Few month ago, decorative door hardware company,Emtek announced the end of BlackBerry Messenger(BBM) for consumers. The once-mighty messaging service had a good run, outstripping the popularity of its hardware namesake.

BBM was Launched in 2005, licensing rights for the service were acquired by Indonesia-based tech conglomerate Emtek 11 years later. For many years, BBM was considered BlackBerry’s (nee Research in Motion) strongest product, with some loyalists eschewing Android and iOS devices before it was finally ported over to those operating systems in 2013.

But competition ultimately proved too much. Technology and the world moved away from BBM and BlackBerry at large. The rewards, it seems, weren’t worth the resources.

“We poured our hearts into making this a reality, and we are proud of what we have built to date,” Emtek wrote in a blog post last month. “The technology industry however, is very fluid, and in spite of our substantial efforts, users have moved on to other platforms, while new users proved difficult to sign on.”

Loyalists can still download files, photos and videos from the service today, before they vanish forever. Notably, BBM Enterprise will live on for business users, but the death of the consumer version should be regarded as the end of an important era for smartphones nonetheless.

Am afraid what might happen to Nigeria soon, and I will explain why.

I remember when Nokia was reigning I couldn't believe 4-5 years later I would be able to buy BlackBerry Curve.

When I saw Android devices on foreign magazines I was wondering if I would have the chance to own one.
2-3 years later I bought one.

Then we heard that 4G LTE is coming, its been launch in South Korea, I was wondering if I could afford to experience it, 2-3 years later people in my village are connected to the 4G LTE network.

Now we are hearing that 5G is coming hopefully in 2-3 years I will experience it.

Now why I said Nigeria might soon be in trouble, anything that has to do with technology comes so fast that Electric cars will soon replace fuel vehicles.

Just like a joke, Nigeria is not taking into consideration that European countries are switching from fuel cars to Electric cars by 2025 that's like 5-6 years from now.

We are not the owners of Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and other car brands to say we can stop the manufacturing of electric cars.

By then the demand for crude oil will decline and that means oil might fall to $10-15 per barrel. That means we are falling into a recession for life just like Venezuela.

Don't get me wrong, crude oil will still be sold but don't forget car engines worldwide consumes 85% of the product. Now what will happen is that there will be too much oil in the international market and for that reason, oil usually drops drastically to below $20 - $25.

Nigeria must act fast and stop all these unnecessary politics cos if Honda, Toyota, and Nissan starts mass production of Electric cars Nigeria will be in trouble.

Someone mentioned that Nigeria will switch to Gas.

Well, The gas that hasn't gone up to $3 before in the market. By then with Nigerian population growing by 250m $3 gas can't sustain us.

Even the Nigerian government is not too interested in gas cos the price is too small at $2.50cent. Had it been that Gas prices can go up to at least $20 we will manage but that's not going to happen. It's been for $1 - $2.50cent for centuries

Selfish monopoly killed them. The phone is not meant for the poor. Thank God for Google Android that came to rescue the poor from the oppression of Research in motion(Blackberry). It is a big lesson for us all that the poor among us be considered.

No business can reign supreme forever just as no leader (except Christ) can rule forever. Everything under the sun that has a beginning must have an end.
