Despite
the several political mudslinging against his person by his godson and present
governor of Abia state, Governor T.A Orji, former Governor
of the state and Political Godfather of Governor T.A Orji, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu seems
to be busy expanding his business empire with a new deal that will make him
become the first Nigerian to produce a telephone handset in the hundred years of
the existence of the country.
The new product which was first sighted on
Saturday September 13th 2014 by this blog was shown to a few privileged
Nigerians who joined Dr. Orji Kalu to commiserate with
the family of his late Vice Chairman at The Sun Publishing Limited, Pastor
Dimgba Igwe at his Okota, Lagos home. The new indigenous brand called Slok
Phone is a low end user handset which will be the first in a series of
three brands of low end user, middle-end user and high end user handsets. The
brand which is going to partner with Toro Technology of China in an
exclusive deal that will see the business man politician have a 50%
shareholding of global production and
100% shareholding of the Nigerian and entire West African market is one brand that promises to give big brands
like Nokia, Samsung and Alcatel a run for their money.
“Dr. Kalu who was on his way to China before cutting the trip to console the Igwes in Lagos later flew into China on Monday 15th of September to sign a multi-million dollars deal with Galanz Group of China, a $13billion Dollars turn-over company and major supplier of all home appliances to Walmart USA and Tesco UK”.

of Slok-Toro Technology, Prince
Kunle Oyewunmi while confirming the new development to this blog on the
telephone said it is true that his boss, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is taking over
the Nigerian market by storm with the introduction of the new Slok Telephone
brand. He went ahead to reveal why there is great assurance for his product in
the Nigerian market “Slok phone is
one of the latest brands of what is known as Slok-Toro Nigeria Industries.
Slok
entered into a 50-50 joint venture
with a Chinese company Toro Technologies to produce our
brand of phone and the sample you saw the chairman displaying is one of the low
end phone brands for average earners; so as we penetrate the market the whole
concept is to migrate from the low end phone brand to the middle end phone and
eventually to the high end phone. We are going to compete very well in the
market because we did our market research before going into the production, we
were on the field for a comprehensive research analysis and I can tell you that
we are very much assured that the market will blow and we are going to sell; we
are going to compete with any brand in the industry. Our brand is a niche brand
and I can guarantee Nigerians that you have not seen this brand of phone
before, we are very sure to capture a very large proportion of the market share”.
Oyewunmi assured.
