Editor,

Let me warn the public that the poor may get poorer with the ongoing mobile phone excitement. It is a big shame to find a family of seven poor people owning each a phone.

The phones are meant to be used for business purposes, but unfortunately, the poor use them for luxurious calls, that do not earn them a penny.

You will find even a high school student carrying a mobile phone-this is ridiculous. The poor student will only disturb parents or opt for bad ways of buying airtime.

They should therefore, stop acquiring phones for the sake of it, and only get one for business. Otherwise, they risk ending as financial destitute.
