Because corruption is less widespread in Kenya than in Nigeria. You have teachers, civil servants and other workers paid well compared to politicians and they are not owed perpetually like in our own country. |

Loan rates in Kenya are about 14.5% Guess Nigeria's own? I'm not even going to go into costs of clearing goods and stuff. Nigeria doesn't need external enemies we do a damn fine job screwing ourselves over |

seguno2: They have the same issues with a smaller population and they also don't have a large unwieldy northern population that Nigerian has to struggle with. The GDP of Lagos state on its own is almost double that of Kenya's. You don't know what you're talking about. |

jbkomo: lai ! lai !, no talk am again !. was in Kenya 2weeks back, they are way ahead of us in terms of standard of living, asides phones, food and transportation, everything in kenya is expensive in relation to Nigerian Naira, houses, cars and clothings are double the prices in Nigeria comparatively, but the bottom line is "THEIR CITIZENS CAN AFFORD THEM", Nairobi is filled with standard malls not like the stores we av here called malls where the south african store chains are champions 1 Like |

I think the law of demand and supply is into play here. the higher the demand, the higher the price and vice versa. |

Kenya is closer to China. That Ship carrying the phones will still have to travel another equally long distance after reaching Kenya |

It takes a few hours to clear goods at the port in kenya once they arrive, sometime the port official board the ships high in the seas and start inspecting cargo, by the time the ship docs half the goods already cleared..... Kenya is also tech friendly to tech companies... Most of them end up setting their africa HQ in kenya, from IBM, Google, Nokia research lab, Oracle,Qualcom.... Its not just infinix... Even techno and sumsung usually do the same.. Microsof too is following the same trend http://m.fin24.com/fin24/Tech/News/Microsoft-CEO-in-Africa-for-Windows-10-launch-20150729 2 Likes |

mmsen:You're comparing two Africa countries, most of these comparisms you posted do not account for this high difference in prices between two countries. Sellers in Nigeria are pure greedy bastards, their profit margin is very high, too high. You wouldn't understand this until you order for phone from overseas online stores. |

maasoap: Kenya is much closer to China/Asia where these phones are made than Nigeria. Nigeria's main port is much busy, probably has greater backlog. Also, I've never bought an Infinix but I've purchased genuine Samsung's for less in Nigeria than I've seen elsewhere. It depends on the volume and the vendor. I've bought phones from DCSL in the past and they don't charge a premium. |
