    Ask him to safe his money. Africa does not need a phone. There are better things Africa needs. How can he compete with the top phone brands like iPhone, Samsung and Huawei, or the other junk brands available in the Market. Cost of technology is too high. Please tell him to safe his money and invest it in Agriculture, Mining, Power generation, infrastructure….those are things Africa needs.
