Billionaire businessman, Obi Cubana has promised to sponsor any tech-savvy individual of African descent to create a smartphone for the African market.
He made this known to the public during an Instagram live video session.
He said, “I’ve been wondering, all these guys that are Tech-savvy, youngsters. I know you guys are out there millions, thousands, tens of you. But I’ve been wondering why you’ve not been able to develop a telephone, a brand of phone. Just like we have Apple, Samsung…this and that.
“Why have we not been able….a black man, African, a Nigerian develop a product, affordable but has all the features like what I’m using to make this live video right now and say, ‘” This made by one of us, for all of us.
“If I see a guy that says he has the concept and wherewithal to develop a telephone, a mobile phone. A guy that says, “This has been made for us by one of us”. And then we look at it. I will sponsor the guy and bring everything that is needed.”
“I’m calling on on the Tech-savvy guys. I want somebody that can come up with innovation and say, “Obi, I have all the features plus more.
“And then we come up with a rugged, fanciful, beautiful, and affordable phone for our people. We will support this person, market the idea, sell the phone, and even use part of the procedure to do charity, to save people…to send people back to school”, he said in parts.
Captioning his post on Instagram, Obi Cubana added: “So I have this great idea……I need an African to create a smartphone for Africans….and we make it the BIGGEST thing of the decade…..yes we can!!!!”

This is a very good gesture.
Highly recommended
Oga Obi.. its a welcome development..but to tell ourselves the truth.. the major issue is power..you can’t operate or run a production or manufacturing company successfully in this country without stable power supply..just my own observation thank you.
This is very good
