Rwandan President Paul Kagame officially launched a smartphone manufacturing plant in Rwanda on Monday, effectively paving the way for the country to become a technological giant.
The phone factory has the capacity to manufacture more than 2 million smartphones in a year. The launch of the Mara Phones production plant at the Kigali Special Economic Zone in Gasabo District is part of the broader Made in Rwanda initiative, on which the country has embarked on.
Speaking at the launch, President Kagame said he was very pleased with the development.
“I am very pleased to join you here today, to launch the Mara Phones factory, which is the first of its kind in our continent.

ReplyDeleteNigeria still dey, dey sleep. See Rwanda.... hmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteJehovah... na aka gi ka anyi noo
Hmmmm the phone will soon be in our market and people will embrace it but if it is ours we will call it fake and ugly.
ReplyDeleteIn Nigeria Phone ke !
ReplyDeleteAbi keke elemu ?
Abeg let them carry their Phone wahala go yonder, when we are still talking about buying Supersonic vehicles for our Senators and Co.
No be only Phone, they should just count Nigeria out of this new trend, we will become the highest buyer from Rwanda, after all, we have money and that is all we have and we are spender.
Big up Rwanda, that is how to be the giant of Africa.
Africa is taking over
ReplyDeletetaking what over o
DeleteNaija na only mouth we get
ReplyDeleteGood news from Rwanda
ReplyDeleteGiant of Africa is still here manufacturing corruption and a confused government.
ReplyDeleteEndorsing bad behaviour ap and down
DeleteGiant of stealing and doing illegal things in other African nations and every where you go. God washed his hands off Nigeria a long time ago. You have your own god. It's called mammon.
Delete23:37 did I write this?
DeleteI bet you live right in my mind.
It's not only in other countries, right at their backyards, markets, schools they adulterate foods, drinks and students.
Nigerians , a people that claim to be so religious but mammon is enthroned in their hearts.
They can do any evil for money!
I am sure Rwanda if they continue at their pace of development will become a beacon of hope for Africa
ReplyDeleteThey are there already.
DeleteRwandans have really done a great job rebuilding their country.
ReplyDeleteYes they have. I now have put them on my travel bucket list. I am soooo proud of them
DeleteAnon,20:12, we can be travel buddies😎
DeleteWhen are you guyz plaining the Travel as i am available
DeleteYassss🙏 Wakanda here we come💪
ReplyDeleteWow see silent success!! Can't believe that since GSM started (who remembers when it was widely called GSM haha), we haven't even thought of manufacturing one. Upon all our spending..buying the latests, from Nokia to Blackberry to Iphone to Tekno, we don't have a single to our name. If Aba boys got all the support we would have had our own brand, even if on Tekno levels. Innoson please epp us.
ReplyDeleteNonsense, Ingredients & Blackberry
We manufacture car.
ReplyDeleteThis President is doing a lot for his country. Our leaders have failed us completely in Nigeria. All they know how to do is steal. Imagine the new Kosoko International airport in Ghana. I weep for my beloved country. Its not like we do not have the money or resources. God Blessed Nigeria with a lot of natural resources but the common man, cannot benefit from it.

ReplyDeleteOne of us made the vehicle given to Mercy people call it ugly, our leaders rejected it we too are killing it with our keypads, a whole lot is wrong with us, the car we suppose to promote and make others crave for, hmmmm Naija ni problem tó pọ̀.
DeleteThats the most painful thing, we have the resources. We get money o, use it wisely we refused. Remember the parable of the servants and how they used their talents. I'm sure God is not happy with us at all.
DeleteMaybe if you stop being ARROGANT looking down on other African nations God may hear your prayer and bless your shithole nation.
DeleteDO what u do best watch bbn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anon 23:34 tell them again! I am a Nigerian by birth but have totally dissociated.
Delete😭😭😭😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteWhile Nigeria was doing BBN 🤣🤣
Deletewas dere last year but going back again.
ReplyDeleteso many untapped Biz in Kigali.
Am thinking of visiting Rwanda with hubby soon
ReplyDeleteNigerians are busy doing BBN.
ReplyDeleteBBN is not Nigeria's problem stop saying what is not. It is not sponsored by the government an neither are we force to watch or follow the show.
DeleteMost useless nation in Africa is Nigeria
DeleteYemi7Up because you do not know better.
DeleteYou are not forced to watch but two mega companies from an African country that knows better teamed up to make mega bucks from your ignorance and that of your country.
Yes, they provide jobs for your youths but they repatriate a huge some of money made from your lazy youths who are so focused on being entertained rather than being enterprising.
At this stage of underdevelopment in your country , should your leaders and citizens not be promoting programs/activities on innovation that grow your economy instead of wasting your time on BVN and rewarding immorality.
Where would watching and voting BBN take you and your country in the next 5 years as Rwanda and the rest of the world build up their economy through innovation and industrialization?
Think again.
Our president is busy traveling front and back, how can we achieve something like this when our leaders are busy spending our country money.
ReplyDeleteTribalism, nepotism, corruption, injustice, greed and wickedness swill not let Nigeria be great.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, Nigeria has lost relevance.
'Una go soon drink una oil ooo.'
If the manufacturer of this smartphone were from a certain part of Nigeria, a lot will be done to frustrate him and destroy his business by the powers that be.
Some Nigerians behave as if innovation comes from any tribe, it is not for the good of all.
RWANDA THE NEW WAKANDA
ReplyDeleteAfter this beautiful nation continues to make better their economy, some useless shit hole nation who waste the fcking time celebrating nonsensical bullshit like bbn will be seeking refuge in Rwanda 🇷🇼 and going to do illegal stuff there like they do every country they go to.
ReplyDeleteRwanda a nation I respect and love. Nigeria u should learn from them instead of your lost priorities.
I will visit Kigali next year cos it's been voted continuously cleanest city,
Something Nigeria will never be in a billion years
Lagos, the dirtiest city in the world and a maze of ghettos.
DeleteErm, what about AfriOne? It's made in Nigeria. In fact I've got the Naija1 brick phone model which I bought for N5k as I couldn't risk getting the Android with my attempt at Buy Naija, Grow The Naira quota. Some flaws on the brick version but it's on it way.
ReplyDeleteWhat about it? Na made in Naija na.
Nigeria has made in Nigeria phone, the name of the phone is afrione.
ReplyDeleteNigerians are very intelligent and also can do more than this but our government isn’t lending any support and our president is is is ........., infact is nothing
ReplyDeleteWe made history too,world's most expensive church and top 5 richest pastors in the world,lol. Rwanda closed down 8 thousand churches,and they woke up from their slumber and got to work,lazy nigerians are still spending all week in church praying and sowing seeds,oshisco
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...That is Nice of Rwanda.
ReplyDeleteHaaaa that is sooo wow the first smart phone from Africa to be made from East Africa we are now at the top in Technology
