our world is gradually turning upside down. It is a pitiable, dismal and absymal that the 'haves-not' are now competing with the 'haves'. it is a regretable lugubious that a phone worths from N80K and above is been sold just for N40K or less. We are gradually moving to era of universal equity. Tecno - carrying the poor along. More kudos to all tecno excutives and engineers.
