Globacom,
Nigeria’s National telecom carrier, has emerged the first Nigerian operator to
officially sell iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in Nigeria. The operator’s flagship
outlet was open at midnight on Friday, November 14, 2014, offering buyers the
opportunity to be among the very first set of Nigerians to own the devices.
A
number of Globacom subscribers kept vigil at Globacom’s Gloworld till midnight
when Apple officially flagged off the sale of authentic iPhone 6 and iPhone 6
Plus in Nigeria. Apple Regional Sales Manager for Africa, Mr. Paddy McManus was
on hand to witness the sale of
first set of the devices to Nigerians at the
Adeola Odeku GloWorld outlet. He commended Globacom for the creativity of the
launch and especially the impressive turnout of subscribers.
“This
is a very loud move from a loud network in Lagos. I am extremely impressed.
This is what usually happens all over the world when Apple is launching its
products. Nigerians are really great,” McManus exclaimed. An On Air
Personality, Mr. Folajinmi Akinsola became the first Nigerian to own an
authentic iPhone 6 sold by any telecommunication network in Nigeria when he
purchased the phone at the Gloworld shop on Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island,
Lagos immediately after it was officially unveiled at 12.05a.m. on Friday.
Former beauty queen, Miss Tobi Phillips kept vigil to emerge the first Nigerian
female to own an authentic iPhone 6 when she paid for the phone which she
earlier pre-ordered.
