SLOT as a company is different from brands e.g TECNO and infinix, that are manufactured by transsion. Ezeigbo the. CEO of slot aided in the development of TECNO and infinix in 2006. T101 was his design which was manufactureed by transsion. There has been development over the years. Ezeigbo did not tell them to make substandard.

Tecno Partners Local Company To Tackle Counterfeiting Products
BUSAYO
1 APR 2013
Chinese mobile phone manufacturing company, Tecno, has further strengthen its partnership with Zenco Communications Limited to allow exclusive distribution and marketing of its phones in the fast-growing mobile market in Lagos, Nigeria.

This was revealed at the launching of the Zenco Plaza at famous Computer Village in Ikeja, Lagos recently. The plaza will serve as a one-stop shop for all manufactured Tecno phones to avoid buying fake.

According to the Deputy General Manager Tecno Telecoms, Chidi Okonkwo, Tecno is already working with relevant agencies of government such as Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and other stakeholders to ensure that the ugly menace is reduced to its minimum.

He expressed enthusiasm over the partnership with Zenco and his company’s achievement in the Nigerian mobile phone market especially in the last quarter of 2012.

He noted that the partnership with Zenco is part of his company’s commitment to meet the yearnings of its customers across the country so that its products are readily accessible.

“Nigeria market, for us, is a major market in Africa and we are doing everything possible to ensure that our customers have maximum value for their money,” he said.

Speaking on the new partnership, Zenco Communications Managing Director, Cletus Oragwa, said Tecno range of products remained reliable, user friendly and durable.

“We are happy to partner Tecno Telecoms Limited, makers of all range of Tecno Phones. As you know the company is a global leader in dual SIM manufacturing, we are therefore excited to associate with them and will ensure that Tecno products get to all our customers within the nooks and crannies of Nigeria especially in Lagos,” he said.

Oragwa, who pointed out that his company has been in partnership with Tecno since 2007 said he is certain that the company will take the lead as the preferred phone company in next five years.

“We met Tecno in 2007 and we saw a lot of potentials in them. Today, we are happy that through its innovative product development, the company has become the sector leader especially in dual SIM phone range and will definitely take over the mobile phone market in the next five years,” he said.

Tecno Mobile is a Chinese mobile phone manufacturer. The company was started in July 2006 in Hong Kong. With its first research and development centre in Shanghai, China, Tecno Mobile was founded as Tecno Telecom Limited, but later changed its name to Transsion Holdings with Tecno Mobile serving as one of its subsidiaries. Tecno focused its business on Africa and the South Asian market. However, following market research conducted in South East Asia, Africa and Latin America, the company found that Africa was the most lucrative region.[1] As a result of this, in 2008, it stopped doing business in Asia to exclusively focus on Africa. The tecno camon c8 [2] helped the mobile phone manufacturer compete with market share of Samsung, and Apple in Africa.

What brand of 'TECNO' were they selling before 2006?

Why did they focus on Africa alone after the 2006 success?

Investigative journalism ko forensic journalism ni,just get busy busy with something my brother. SLOT is a big timer just like most dealers in the market I'm too busy for all these banter hence I sign off.

Abeg sign off and do something useful to yourself. Clannish homo sapien.

TPAND:
Thank you. Zenco was the first marketer of Tecno Phones. When Techno was launched in Burj Khalifa SLOT CEO was not even on the list of invited guest amongst the Nigerian marketers that graced the event. I don't know where this rumor that Slot Chairman owns or co-owns Tecno and Infinix

See the stupid yardstick you are using because of your envy.

Stop jumping up and down. I'm also a tecno dealer and have been in the business for quite a while.pls stop saying what you don't know. SLOT started selling tecno phones some years after Tecno market share has grown and SLOT customers keep requesting for tecno products.

You are a dealer nothing more, that does not make you an authority in investigative journalism. Read from ezeigbo himself and stop being clannish.

redcap:
Oga stop all these misinformation.When tecno berthed lagos they first came approached SLOT but he turned them down with the derogatory notion that it's "Chinese phone".Zenco was the first to market tecno products in Nigeria.

Hear from ezeigbo himself and stop this clannish attitude of yours:

THESE ARE STILL NIGERIA' S NEWSPAPER AND BLOG -COPYING ONE FROM THE OTHER-WIKIPEDIA GIVES YOU REFERENCES TO ASCERTAIN THE TRUTH -EZEIGBO IS A GREAT MAN BUT A RETAILER FOR TECNO,INFINIX ETC

Wikipedia is subject to anonymous changes and can also be unreliable.

Read the links and make your conclusion.

Ezeigbo met transsion in 2006 with the first tecno model brand T101. This was on Wikipedia before it was edited. Ezeigbo himself said so without being queried or challenged by transsion.

Ezeigbo DID NOT MANUFACTURE TECNO AND INFINIX, rather, he DESIGNED TECNO'S FIRST BRAND AND GAVE IT TO TRANSSION TO MANUFACTURE.

mercyville:
I OPENED THE LINK AND THAT GREAT MAN TALKED ABOUT SLOT-HE COULD BE A RETAILER FOR TECNO EVERY AVAILABLE EVIDENCE SHOWED HE IS A RETAILER https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tecno_Mobile

dasauce:
Believe this crap at your peril...
Tecno approach him then..but his sight are already on high end smartphones... So Zenco took the shot!!

Keep deluding yourself. He approached transsion on 2006 with the tecno T101 brand design, the first tecno phone.

SalamRushdie:
So Ezeigbo designed the first Android phone with dual Sim?
Guy Ezeigbo is a retail giant on Nigeria local phone market and that's where it stops bro


The first phone to include dual SIM functionality was the Benefon Twin, released by Benefon in 2000.[6] It wasn't until the late 2000s, however, when more dual SIM phones entered the marketplace and started to attract mainstream attention, most of t

Olodo, did I say ezeigbo was the first in it? I said it was his marketing advice and strategy to transsion.

TPAND:
Stop spreading falsehood on Nairaland. That guy was not even the first marketer of Tecno phones in Nigeria.

Who then marketed the first tecno phone in nigeria and what was the first tecno brand in the Nigerian market?

ANSWER AND STOP FOOLING YOURSELF

SalamRushdie:
Keep fooling yourself , Ezeigbo doesn't own jack in Transmission ...this is how your lot peddled a false story that one Nigerian man founded the Internet. Hahahahaha.. oya go and play MMM because your brain is just too shallow for my liking

Mufu, who said ezeigbo OWNS transsion?

Ezeigbo Worked with the manufacturing company to develop tecno (the first brand TECNO T101) designed by him. Transsion continued from there based on his marketing advice and specifications e.g having a double Sim on an android phone.

SalamRushdie:
Well keep fooling yourself .. Microstation even even sells more Tecno phones than Slot for transmission and that why the CEO of micro was invited to the launch in Burj recently and Ezeigbo was left out .

What has that got to do with who started the tecno phone? How old are you? Drowning boy looking for something to hold on to.

SalamRushdie:
I didn't say tecno ..Before tecno they had other generation 1 phone they sold in China before the coming of android

Stop trying to save face. There was NOTHING like TECNO OR INFINIX in transsion company before 2006. It was Ezeigbo who introduced it to them.

SalamRushdie:
Please stop bringing links from a Nigerian Newspaper that has probably employed someone like you that loves false myths

So now its a "Nigerian Newspaper"? Thank God it was not Vanguard or Daily Sun. You would have said it was an Igbo fabricated story. Envious leech.

anthoniosp:
ah ah! they started in 2006

Are you minding the envious anti-igbo propaganda machine? Don't mind him.

SalamRushdie:
Another lie ..Transmission holdings started selling tecnos in China at first..Guy Ezeigbo is just a retailer and he is not even their best retailer in Nigeria Microstation is .. I doubt if Zhu Zhaojiang, founder and CEO of Transmission holdings has met Ezeigbo personally sef ..let's get the facts right and stop all this Nigerian myth

Your LIES keep disgracing you.

SalamRushdie:
Guy stop arguing blindly ..Zhu Zhaojiang is the founder and CEO of Transmission holdings and he has owned tecno wholly from day one .. please you can check the Tecno wiki page

Transsion NEVER started tecno or infinix. Their market was not even focused in Africa. It was around 2006 when ezeigbo met them and collaborated with them in marketing of the very first design TECNO T101 he (ezeigbo) designed.

Go and hear EZEIGBO HIMSELF. did TRANSSION DENY HIS NARRATIVE ON TECNO AND INFINIX.

ENVY ALL OVER THE PLACE....

TPAND:
Thank you brother, the Tecno brand is bigger than what Nigerians think it is. That guy can't own Tecno and his SLOT brand will be a local Nigerian champion. TECNO and INFINIX, CALLCARE, IFLUX, SYINIX, ITEL is owned by Transsion Group.

When the latest Tecno was launched in Burj Al-Arab, let me state categorically that the chairman of slot was not on the list of invited guest

Oga NOBODY claimed that ezeigbo MANUFACTURED the mentioned phone brands, rather they were his brainchild. He sold the Idea and first Design as well as African marketability to transsion company. He co-owned these brands. If he later sold his shares, then fine. But even transsion isn't denying his mastermind of tecno and infinix..... You are envy are like 5 and 6

McDoe:
Please, let us put our facts straight. Slot is never the owner of Techno and Infinix. He is rather a major dealer of the brands. I work in Transsion Holdings and I know what I am talking about.
On the acceptance of the brands, it was through serious researches and aggressive marketing by the chinese guys in collabo with major Nigerian phone dealers. Bird is a different brand entirely from the transsion's phones chain.
However, Mr. Nnamdi Ezeigbo is a rugged and successful businessman. I doff my hat for him[i][/i]

Guy, tecno (and infinix) are the brainchild of ezeigbo, he even co-owns it the last time I checked. Transsion was the company that manufactured tecno by the advise and design of ezeigbo. He may have later sold his ownership to the company. So keep your "transsion staff" whatever.

SalamRushdie:
Take it from me Ezeigbo doesn't own a single share in tecno Itel or infinix ...he is a Regional trade partner to transmission holdings..I am very close to Transmission holdings operations if you don't know ..Stop spreading falsehood

http://digital.asiaone.com/digital/news/chinas-transsion-phones-outsell-samsung-africa

Are you saying this before tecno and infinix made huge profits or after?

You don't even understand how ownership works. It can be tenured or partially purchased or completely purchased.

Pls PROVE TO US AND TO EZEIGBO THAT HE DID NOT DESIGN THE FIRST TECNO T101 BRAND

xynerise:
He is not the brain behind Tecno. Nestor Coutroupis is.

Nestor is the CEO of MicroStation limited

Guy shut up and Google properly

TPAND:
Transsion Group owns Tecno and Infinix. Not any Igbo man

Oga dont allow envy kill you

http://nairametrics.com/a-story-about-the-founder-of-slot-everyone-must-read/

SalamRushdie:
Transision holdings have been in the smart phone market for nearly 2 decades and never bought any shares for Ezeigbo..transmission holdings own Tecno, Itel, infinix,synix, iflux a 100 percent a 100 percent

Oga, ezeigbo co-owns infinix and tecno. Why do you want to downplay an Igbo man's success? Are you this envious?

loveymom:
And this man na my paternal uncle but we don't know each other. Wish I could get to know him but that will be tracking him in the viilla. He has done well for his people (nsukwe) at least the road he constructed for them is wonderful.

Yes, he is from nsukwe community of Ubakala in Umuahia-South

OP Mr Ezeigbo is NOT the sole owner of infinix and tecno. He is a co-owner. Though infinix and tecno are his brainchild at the very beginning. He is however, the sole owner of slot holdings.

PoisonedOne:
Slot is not the owner of Tecno and infinix. The owner of tecno owns infinix too; it was initially owned by Zenco, but now they are owned by the guy that owns zinox computers, he is the same man that owns youdala stores and plenty other companies in Naija. He is from Imo state.

Oga, keep your tales by moonlight. Ezeigbo the CEO of Slot is the co-owner of tecno and infinix alongside the Asia company that designed it using his specifications. Imo state koor....pls celebrate the umuahia IGBO NIGERIAN.
