Wike is really really shooting himself in the foot with all these grandstanding

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Wike needs Pdp more than Pdp, all these ones he is doing is just attention seeking.If he has mind he should decamp to apc and be disgraced like Akpabio that couldn't win even senate seat

ThinkSmarter:
True, it is not about party but more of an individual

falcon01:

Nigerian products are expensive. Nigeria is seating on a time bomb, if we don’t get our shit together we won’t have a country, this country is being destroyed before our eyes.

Nigeria has gotten so bad that African stores abroad are beginning to either reduce or stop selling Nigerian products, they now prefer to source it from other African countries except for those ones that can’t be sourced there.

U can’t believe that cost of food is more expensive in Nigeria than the uk, despite the fact that uk pay is 100times Nigeria pay, with all the hardship, cost of food, u still have to use the small wage u get that’s remaining to buy fuel, pay security dues in ur street, contribute to fix ur road plus police would stop u on the road and try to extort u, not to talk of efcc raiding ur house destroying your properties because they thought without any form of investigation that u are a yahoo boy.

An attorney general was sacked for exposing what cbn governor exposed too that made them dethrone him. This government is setting the next administration up for failure, they have diminished our reserves, they have borrowed from almost every country in the world so much that no country is giving us loan again, nigerua economy is so much in ruins that right now there’s an oil boom going on as a result of the Ukraine/Russia war but our economy has been destroyed so much that we can’t even feel it.

Education system failed
Economy failed
Security failed
Basic amenities failed
Currency failed
Even technology that people were depending on they are about to destroy that sector, police and efcc can arrest u or raid your house just because u are into tech, not to talk of the fact that FG keeps increasing tax on the sector everyday, in developed countries to improve innovation the government is trying its best to make data as cheap as possible, it’s as a result of this cheap data that makes these countries musicians and artists have huge views on music platforms, but ours no planning no nothing, just thief as much money as u can and leave whatever problem that it would cause to the next administration.


People are seeing all these things and with their senses instead of supporting the best to take us out of this situation they are trying to support candidates based on selfish interest when finally 90% of them won’t even benefit from the government

LOVEGINO:
u re right but he must be under unnecessary pressure. Imagine the wife opening fb acct for d first time. D husband need to stand well ( if u flexed 2go, u know hwfa)

LOVEGINO:
the husband did not buy that fone. Either someone gave him as a gift or he stole it. Simple.

LikeAking:
Op in manufacturing, the more u produce d cheaper d price. So d price is expensive cos they manufacture less, compared to chinko.

Bad leadership and corrupt politicians are responsible for joblessness, premature deaths and mass poverty in Nigeria.

A good leader will solve 99% of Nigerias problems.

Vote right in 2023 so you will stop disturbing God for problems that common sense will solve.

some people don't care about specs because they ain't no hardcover users, I care about specs! I

Older & well established businesses have more supplier chain and distributor network. They can access raw materials at far cheaper prices because suppliers gives them better discount when they buy more raw materials and make regular bulk payment than the newer startups. In essence, Infinix, techno, Samsung has power to negotiate cheaper prices than imose because they have far more supplier network and buy more bulks of raw materials than imose. They even have the technical know-how to produce any parts themselves than imose who employ inexperienced local graduates

Two, electricity is very cheap in china than most countries of the world and that affects production cost. That's partly why Infinix, techno and Chinese products are generally cheaper than American products where electricity and raw materials are costlier

Three, china is supplier of raw materials to the electronic industry. If you produce phone in Nigeria, you will import the raw materials from china to Nigeria. We don't have chip companies in Nigeria, we don't produce IC in Nigeria. The cost of importation will be factored into your production cost. A company in china or US doesn't have to import everything because the chipsets are produced locally so the cost of production is lower than producing in Nigeria

Multiple taxation is killing businesses in Nigeria. That's not obtainable in other countries. For example, you heard telecom operators cry out over 5% excise duty tax. Their cry was sequel to the fact they already pay 38 different kind of taxes to 9ja govt. The masses chose bad politicians but end up blaming companies for high cost of things. It's myopic. We are angry at mtn high call rate or data rate. The fact is govt is the problem.

Govt laws don't favor businesses in Nigeria. Chinese govt intentionally provide free shipping service to companies to encourage export driven economy for example. Nothing like that here. Our govt is impulsive and they are in the habit of strangulating local companies regularly. Try set up a shop in your local hood, within a month, before you make your first sale, you will be visited by more than 6 govt agencies in your state for taxes and levies. After that you fuel your gen throughout the month and pay federal tax, personnel tax, etc. You will pass it on to the clients to stay afloat in business

Ruke1989:
I have explained above:

1) economics of scale
2) cost of electricity
3) multiple taxation
4) access to raw materials.

Op, read up the detailed explanation earlier posted for details

Epurogonogono:

Wow, I never knew there was a Nigerian made phone .

The reason I think it's expensive with such low quality is probably because some (or all) parts used to make the phone might be imported, another reason might be because of the lack of quality electricity in Nigeria, with makes producers seek alternatives, with are also expensive.

There might be other factors, but these are the main factors I can think of right now.

What has economy of scale got to do with this?

Abeg Help me ask am




What has economy of scale got to do with this?

Parachoko:
If they are not producing a lot of phone and making lots of sales, the price won't fall.

Parachoko:
Base on your review of the phone, they need to really improve.

They will never be able to compete with low budget phones like Itel if they do not work on stuffs like marketing too.

Parachoko:
Have you heard of Economy Of Scale before?

princeade86:
I think home made should be more cheaper

Patriotism
