@rasdanbot: “With due respect I think this is rubbish. Technology is supposed to solve a problem. Which problem is this contraption solving? This person is creative, he should use his creativity to solve an existing problem. Not to build a phone. So I should leave my phone and buy this one?”
@Whoisawake247: “The Chinese and Americans have both competitive and combative advantages of producing these gadgets. U cat compete with that. Choose something like earpiece, screen guard…. Make it cheaper, supplies will buy from u in naira. I don’t no one will leave iPhone or Samsung for this.”
@Iam_Monney: “Why do you call it Nokia phone, call it Igbo Phone. As we are progressing ppl are now going backwards. Nonsense tech.”
@Obasichukwu9: “Nigeria don’t know what they have see multi-billion industry. And some are typing what they like because with hands you can type anything.”
@AuWears19846: “Una go just dy hype rubbish.. make e no go find better thing do. Chinese kindergarten kids do more than this rubbish.”
@gbadamosiwole: “This is just a prototype. They can refine it and modify it. If you all see the first airplane ✈️ by the Bright brothers, I am sure most of you wouldn’t give the modern day jet a chance!!!”
