Not even will.. It is affected it... minimum of 25% increment

OP... I will advise you hold on a bit cos prices of phone have gone rooftop...

I dont understand why cos since lockdown was in effect I want to believe no phone was imported during that period... unless they are saying underground importation was going on...

Then again... this phones i want to believe are old stock which they must have had before the lockdown... but since no sales they increased prices to try and regain as much profit as possible to the detriment of the buyer...

Na them sabi sha...

In economics we call that black market. They are Hoarding the goods. Increase in demand of phones and decrease or limited phones available + the ones going to be imported now will be costly, so the phones are sold at a higher price

Just manage your current phone

sure it will, Trust Nigerians to top up prices even on commodities that ordinarily doesn't need it.

e be like say the man preeq get issue

Lockdown doesn't affect shipment of goods totally however phone vendors would find excuse to increase their price

well technically so, as Dollar - to Naira exchange rate would be affected, so are prices of goods we need forex for, and since oil price crash and low sales of crude oil means we wont be getting dollars for our forex needs anytime soon, expect a long days of price hike, except all the loans Buhari Sinzumoney is begging for pulls through if not eehn!! na die


.

Well, since most phones are made in China, currently, Nigeria is on international lockdown including shipments.. This makes the available product in d market limited. Definitely, their prices will be inflated cos they r limited

It's started already...

I fear it already has.

I don't know why slot is selling redmi note 8 64gb variant N72,500

No. Rise in dollar price will

Yes it has already. A friend bought a new infinix S5 at 77k offline but on Jumia now it's 93k+

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

phone,cloths foreign item e.t.c

Yes, borders are closed, airports closed. Hence, importations halted.

As a result of the above, hoarding is the order of the day. Nobody wants to quickly run out of stock when you can't easily restock.

Finally, prices are high now and may even get higher post corona era.

I am pretty sure it won't be phone on people's minds after this pandemic.

Most you bring everything to social media?

Not just phones man.

Things just dey cost anyhow.
