Nigerians! I just saw the photo of D'banj and his Koko mobile phone. Thanks to Biodun Caston- Dada, the man behind Acada magazine. To me, this is a good one for a great musician like D'banj and the Mo'Hit crew. Don't ask me when Tuface is coming out with his own product. Trust Tu baba, the father of many, he would rather prefer baby hampers or baby food not mobile phone like Dbanj. You will see something like Tuface Baby Food! Naija sha! Instead of congratulating Dbanj the kokomaster on the 'birth' of the kokomobile, they said the phone is a low quality phone produced in China.In case you want to buy, it is just N9000 (Naira). Personally, I am waiting for Koko Blackberry!
