One of the often peddled lies is that Kodak is dead. A company with operating revenue of over a billion dollars and net income of over $75 million ain’t dead in my books. However, paipu residents would want us to believe otherwise.
Nokia on its part hard a net income of over €1.2 billion in 2024. Does that come across as a dead company?

I think watu wanamaanisha their Phone brand line to be dead, kina Nokia, Huawei deal with Network infrastructure that’s where most of their revenue comes from.
