Substandard Phone Causes Cancer – NCC Warns by Yarnvibes(f): 7:35am On Sep 01, 2017 |
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has warned Nigerians against using substandard phones. It said such was responsible for some of the cancer ailments being suffered by the citizens. The regulatory body also identified unapproved phones as a major cause of network interruptions, which it said were also having negative implications on health of users. Addressing phone sellers on Thursday at Fayose Market in Ado Ekiti during a stakeholders’ sensitization workshop, an official of the NCC, Engr. Kunle Olorundare lamented that fake phones had taken over the country’s markets. At the workshop organized by Ibadan zonal office of the NCC, Olorundare said the preponderance of substandard phones was causing colossal damage to network services and health of users. Olorundare warned that sellers of unapproved ICT products were flouting the NCC act and could face prosecution or seizure of their market items if they did not desist from selling such. He advised the phone sellers to ensure the phones they buy from manufacturers and dealers were approved by the NCC. Another official of the NCC, who represented the Head of Zonal Operations in Abuja, Mr. Ekisola Oladosu, frowned on the proliferation of substandard phones and other ICT products in the country. Oladosu promised that NCC would do all within its powers to check the situation, noting that the task of sanitising the Nigerian phone market hangs on all stakeholders. The President, Fayose Market Traders’ Association, Mr. Kehinde Badmus, praised the NCC for the enlightenment seminar, assuring that the Association would cooperate with the commission to achieve its goals. http://fabinfos.com/substandard-phone-causes-cancer-ncc-warns/ Lalasticlala Ishilove Mynd44 Seun Dominique 1 Share

Agencies responsible for checking the quality of products have been compromised including NCC. Almost 99% of consumables in the Nigerian markets are fake. Nigeria is a dumping ground for all sort of trash. Wait! Wait! Wait! *Used cars don't cause cancer? *Okirika(used cloths) don't cause cancer? *Okirika shoes don't cause cancer? *The fake sachet consumables don't cause cancer? *Fake soups and liquid bath soaps don't cause cancer? *Plastic drinks don't cause cancer? *The fumes from generators don't cause cancer? The population of generators in Naija is alarming *Nigeria Population Statistics Census estimates the population to be 170million. Now imagine each households owning 2 or more generator sets 2set for generators x 170,000,000 = 340,000,000 (Three hundred and forty million generators) doubling the Nigerian population. Isn't that more than enough cancer to kill everyone overnight? The list is much etc. You and I know how much a standard phone cost, a country with the best economy controlled by looters has left the less privileged going for what they can afford. In general, we're endowed with terrible leaders. 36 Likes |

https://www.facebook.com/girlieclothings/ This store is a front. They don't deliver any goods or have any to sell. I've been a victim and would hate to see anyone fall for their schemes. They have good pictures, seemingly attractive products and many followers. I fear many would still patronise them. Each time I make a post on their page, they of course block me. #spreadtheword#saynotocrime#love 3 Likes 1 Share |

All regulatory agencies are toothless bulldogs from CBN,NAFDAC,NCC,SON etc are all enmeshed in corruption hence they can only talk but can't go beyond that. All the network providers pay heavily to ncc both in cash and airtime to keep them at a corner. Nigeria is a circus! 1 Like |

Nigeria is really a funny country. U allow substandard things into d market .n begin to tell ppl trash. By d way how do u know substandard, is it those that have not registered with SON? Cos whoeva u can't generate revenue from is substandard. Is d epileptic service from service providers not due to substandard equipments? Food for thought. |
