It hasn't been so long Blackberry Was Banned From Nigeria: https://www.nairaland.com/1283394/blackberry-faces-ban-nigeria-users


Recently In A Blackberry Conference, RIM Announced That BBM Messenger will be Available For Ios and Android This Summer.http://www.etechvilla.com/2013/05/bbm-chat-coming-to-android-and-ios.html

The Question Is "Will BBM for Android Be The Final End Of Blackberry In Nigeria"


You Might Think That This is to Criticize Blackberry. Notwithstanding, I will Like to Applause RIM for their BB10 OS But actually, I don’t see what the fuzz is about the new Blackberry 10 phones. In fact, I honestly think that the phone is 4 years too late.


Now Back To The Topic, Below Are the Reasons I Firmly Believe that RIM Releasing BBM for Android and IOS will be a Big Miss and might result to The end of Blackberry In Nigeria and Most African Countries.

#1. Most Nigerians Use Blackberry Because Of BBM: Sure This isnt New To any Nigerian. The Major Reason Most People expecially The Female folks are using Blackberry Phones is because of BBM not Because of Other Features. Now, BBM is coming to Android and IOS Which have more Capabilities than the Blackberry Phones, I think These Blackberry Users will have to Migrate.


#2. The Invasion Of Tecno Cheap Android Into African Market: Tecno has come to stay in Africa and nothing is going to change that fact.


Tecno Has come to show Africans that Other Producers has been Exploiting Us. Even before Tecno started building their cheap Android Phones, I think they are the 1st with The Dual sim functionality before other producers Like Nokia and Sansung Joined the trend.


Now, If BBM will Be released For Android OS, Many Blackberry Users will Have to Port to Android OS since Android Have More functionality than Blackberry and Tecno is Here with Damn Dead Cheap Android Based Phones.


Imagine, The Prices of Tecno Android Phones; Tecno N3 = N13, 000, Tecno d3 = N14, 000, Tecno d5 = N16, 000, Tecno Q1 = N17,000, Tecno N7 = N30,000, Tecno F7 = N35, 000 Whereas Blackberry Are Busy Building 4 Years Late Blackberry 10 OS For N100,000+. "Think am" Who doesnt Like Good Things?

This Post Is Solely What i think if BBM should be available for Android. I dont Know what you think. You can share your Ideas and thoughts Thanks.

I also Conducted A Mini Interview on some Blackberry Users In Nigeria... Check Out The Interview Here: http://www.etechvilla.com/2013/06/will-bbm-for-android-ios-be-end-of.html

It looks to me that this idea that BBM is coming to Android & iOS is really taking you to the edge of your seat.
But...not to worry, I'll call RIM so that they can fast-forward their plans.

I dont seem to understand you
