Nigeria is the hub of much activity for tech companies hoping to make quick gain and this has led the world’s number three smartphone vendor, Lenovo, which entered the market last year in the West African nation, to recommit to it’s ever expanding catch.
This PC company had a breakfast meeting in Lagos where the Executive Director of Mobile Business Group at Lenovo described the country as a succulent fruit which is vital to the organisation’s focus. Stroking the ego of the veteran consumer nation, the executive pointed out that the country represents “huge growth potential for Lenovo”.
After a slur of more money thirsty statements and businessman jargon such as: “the region as a principal destination for investment”, and “continue to expand our business and invest heavily in this market”, the spokesperson Sharma concluded: “We are building on the strong relationships that we have with Nigerians by meeting their demand for smartphones with first-class design, smarter features and improved functionality, with special focus on our latest range of mobile devices. Our continued organic growth and expansion puts us in a great position to maintain our momentum.” To me, this reeks of through and through hitting the lottery speech.
The new market devices unveiled on the occasion included: the Lenovo P70 with a stunning 4000 mAh battery which can last up to three days – a Chinese technology currently taking other flagship phone sales by the nether; the Lenovo S90, a perfect selfie companion with an 8 mega-pixel front camera and front LED flash and the egronomically designed Lenovo S60 that showcases users fun and social sides.
