Blackberry made a citizen of the World. I no longer wait on NTA, STv, AIT & rest to serve me with lies, i now get info at real time. All thanks to RIM
blackberry has made communication easier through BBM….I jst pray i win the BB today
Blackberry has gained much acceptability amongst Nigerians due to her customised social networks (Blackberry messenger amongst others) and as well as the wide ranges of smileys it provides. It has also has customised news feeds which has saved many Nigerians from knowing the actual websites of these various news agencies.
Blackberry phones have turned to a household name in Nigeria. The reason is not far fetched because of its versatility. Blackberry phones will surely stand the test of time in Nigeria I.T. market. Thumbs up to R.I.M.!!!
Information is power…………
The inception of Blackberry products in Nigeria has brought about a unique method for the dissemination of information,albeit BC’s,flexible social network access,and its multi-tasking capabilities…its a tool that has come to put information in the hands of those that actually need it,who have for long have been deprived of it.
If Information is Power,then Blackberry is power!
I love my BlackBerry because it is the best communication tool there is, it makes me more productive — both for work and personal purposes. It works as a small computer for me. It is cute, trendy, and up to date, yet it is functional, efficient, and easy to use. BlackBerry is the future. RIM, you rock
Hmmm. Interesting. Blackberry in Nigeria is A????? revolution. Why I call it revolution is because it revolutionize communication among Nigerians. Especially the instant messaging i.e BBM and loads of other social platforms that can be accessed. Though some other phones have features that are close but BB still takes the lead. The phone itself is A????? social platform. And the good thing is that its affordable,no matter your level of income,you will get one.
Blackberry from RIM, push messages at its best,apps to foster relationships, best organised apps to critics of governments,revolutionised tools used by all.
A most have but not at all cost.
Blackberry has made communicating a delight with a speed of lightning,afforded me the platform to stay in touch with friends,faster mailings,insightful conversation on BBM,all day connectivity to internet,a tap of abreastedness on happenings around the world.Blackberry is indeed a great blessing.
It’s always believed that information is knowledge, for this fact I find blackberry so useful, for its fast conveying of information to the society. In terms of its application and social network, that’s the BBM, twitter,facebook and Emailing

Hmmm! Blackberry simply revolutionised journalism world and help even none professionals disseminate newsy events instantaneously though not sift.
BLACKBERRY ‘eso dudu’, it serves me a lot of purpose. At times, i don’t even remember i have a laptop, calling also is no issue cos i can chat the whole day,that saves me a lot of money from buying recharge vouchers. It makes me get in touch with People i cant ordinarily talk to on the street and get a comment back E.g Musicians, Actors, Actresses,Enterpreneurs etc via Twitter. Also when am at a cross road such as finding meaning of words or any vital information(s), my Google is at my beck and call. Finding Long lost friends and Families, my FACEBOOK is there. I so MUCH love my BLACKBERRY, Thank you
Efficient and superb
Personal and official tool-a necessity
It’s not connecting to friends alone – the “old wine” that’s what i call friends i thought i cannot come across with again,ever. ? does it!
The features of the phone is simply breathtaking. Great product for the teeming population of smartphone addicts.
The Blackberry smartphone has simply revolutionised the reaction of the Nigerian populace to the reality of the excessive bad governance available in the country.
From North to down South, Nigerians have used this gadget to expose bad governance and promote good governance, it has aided the the awakening of the Nigerian spirit in turning against bad leadership at all levels of governance, a prime example is the #OccupyNigeria protest in January, that I believed was greatly influenced by the use of Blackberry smartphones and the social media.
Blackberry I will say is one of the best things that has happened to the Nigerian Telecoms industry. Blackberry has sensitised the average Nigerian about the activities of their leaders. Blackberry has played a pivotal role in help in checking governmental excess in a country like Nigeria where the leaders used to think their escapades can be hidden from the knowledge of her citizenry. Blackberry has been used as a tool to effectively expose these escapades. Furthermore, Blackberry has helped build businesses. There used to be a time Nigerians believe you need to have an outlet to sell your service or products; all of that has changed now as I can sell a service or product to a client in Kano without even leaving the comfort of my apartment in Lagos thanks to blackberry messenger. In addition, the BBM integrated application is a formidable tool that other competing smartphones can’t rival. Blackberry has been a major player in the advancement of my business as my mails come to me now thus giving me the opportunity to meet customers request/complaints promptly. And I say Thank you!
I love Blackberry cos it keeps me updated with current news n activities going on both home n abroad n it also wakes d youths up to fight for what is right
BlackberrY couldn`t have come at a better time,making mailing a delight,fasttracking business and friendship like never before,minimising call by BBM,a tab on the world by twitter,indeed,BLACKBERRY is the greatest.there are just 2 phones in the world,blackberry and others
helping, I love it
All this I have been sicked of listening to news from my local Tv! Talk of Kwara TV, NTA, AIT n all others. They speech fill me with false news most time! They want me to listen to and accept government voice by all means! Thank God to for providing me with BlackBerry. With it, I am updated with realistic news all around the world!BlackBerry you will always bury other Phones!
With a blackberry phone, you never go wrong!
That’s why it is the best phone!
Blackberry connects you easily to your friends, families and colleagues through bbm, twitter or facebook. it compresses the data you use so your service provider won’t charge you more and also pushes all your mails to your phone real-time what more could we you ask for.
The BlackBerry has redefined the traditional concept of what a community should be, it has created a 21st century community without borders, with an infinite number of citizens who speak one language- that of change and a positive future which is befiting to bequeath the generations yet to come with.
The Blackberry is the most useful phone in Nigeria because it’s affordable as well as efficient to help us in our day to day activities – Social Media, email etc
I love blackberry because of its easy to use and easy to own. I love the phone because of its fast to use features and easy to communicate messenger (BBM). I love blackberry because of its affordable packages for use in Nigeria and the ease to which social media sites (facebook, twitter etc) can be assessed. Furthermore, it has helped me receive my mails promptly.
The Blackberry phone for me is a small, handy & effective tool to stay in touch real-time to news and events as they concern the user. I bought mine as I was leaving paid employment so I could remain in touch and not lose out in the interim before I settled at another job with full internet access. It enables me to get a lot done and be at my virtual office. Even if RIM seem to be losing market some places, I think the Nigerian market is here to stay a while. Thank you.
Blackberry so fun,created a whole lot opportunity Ã?? a window 2 explore the world wyt different applications and also third-party application

Blackberry inspires,updates and refreshes via numerous apps don’t be left out!
Blackberry is a tool for networking people. Its undoubtedly the best mobile device
The BB will make a delightful gift for my baby sis… (or babe), yet to decide you see. But the BBM app rules the conference-chat app world. It’ll be great to have another RIM mobile gadget. Who says RIM is not about “connecting people”?
Blackberry is undoubtedly the best mobile device. Its strength lies in its ability to deliver instant messages to other blackberry users irrespective of their network of choice. This aids easy networking and faster dissemination of information. @tjconcept [email protected]
