PaJ, the phone sef fit cost pass like that for US o because most phones are made in Asian countries and they bring dem directly to naija instead of first having to go through the US. u no know say na latest the girl go buy? u think say na $30 dollar phone?
All these phone companies dem dey craze for real everyday dem go carry new one comot Nigerians dem go dey rush am, and the funny thing be say oyibo dem sef no dey use all those ones wey dem carry come for us. All of them done open regional offices for Naija finish.
The fastest growing business in Naija now must be phone marketing. Computer Village for Ikeja just opened about 3 years ago and you need to go there and see wetin dey happen now.
