Ornstein is a perfect example to follow for anyone looking to get in to football journalism. He doesn’t entertain, he informs. He doesn’t build a brand of tearing other people down, he doesn’t say the same thing twice just for RT’s and doesn’t speak at all unless there is something meaningful to be said. It is so unbelievably difficult to be that well informed and to be that accurate, he is obviously someone who has a lot of trust of key people in the game. That’s how it’s done.
Whenever China is ready to penetrate a particular market, they do so holistically.
This was exactly how they penetrated the Nigerian phone market by providing affordable options that the average Nigerian could easily buy.
Chinese phones was the reason a lot of people ever had any hope of owning phones in the first place at all.
And they've always known what they're doing.
They made phones that specifically solved problems that are unique to Nigerians.
- Because of the unstable electricity in the country, they brought us phones with flashlight and high battery capacity. Today, you'll find phones with 7,000 mAh.
- On top of that, they started bringing in power banks, especially through Oraimo, and now Itel.
- They were also the first to introduce dual-SIM phones when Nokia failed to listen to Nnamdi Ezeigbo, the owner of Slot. China brought in Tecno phones that helped a lot of people to solve the problem of buying multiple phones just because of network issues.
Initially, people pushed back on Chinese phones, simply because of the wrong notion that their products are only "fake" or "substandard".
But today, people use Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Vivo, and the like. And they've dominated a very large part of the phone market.
So, I undoubtedly agree that Chinese cars will soon dominate the Nigerian automobile space.
And in fact they'll do it not only by offering cheaper prices, but also by making cars that specifically solve some problems that are peculiar to Nigeria.
I'm excitedly waiting!
I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.
I rebuke every spirit of entitlement around me. May I be surrounded by people who value respect, gratitude, integrity, and mutual honor. Not everyone is entitled to my time, energy, access, or resources.I choose wisdom in my relationships, discernment in my decisions, and peace in my circle.
