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.
