If you think a smartphone can't fetch you good money please think again.

I didn't say don't buy smart phone, I said buy the one that won't make people ask you; "who died?" when the REAL owners collect it

Preciousone4ril: so everyone who's got 50k shld turn into a taxi driver?

There are entrepreneurs looking for N50k to bring an empire to reality and you're carrying it in your pocket... waiting for keke N50

mrvocalprowess: people who do these are pathetic, insecure and have the "i must belong" lifestyle, imagine a guy using a Samsung s4 in my dept and always asking for #20 tfare,who is fooling who?

U for tell am to sale the fone do transport or deposits am wit conductor

Yomieluv: Ladies are most guilty,aside chatting,and showing off,they know nothing else about the phone.

They change phone like skin,and trying to outdo each other in kind of phone they flaunt.

so true,even my fiancee is guilty of this too,she's bugging me to buy her infinix zero now,she's using a bold 5,and a LG android..

I had to scold her seriously,why multiple remote control for same function.

An acquaintance recently got a nice 5.0 display android phone and was “feeling” the phone on his street one evening. The next thing he saw were bright stars and “plenty plenty” shadows running away. When his sight was restored, his phone was gone.

This totally cracked me up!

After all, it is their own money, you can only get it once, why the jealousy because they are competing, I have been using big phones since the day I was in single room, till the day I am 2 bedroom apartment of my own, stop the hatred, still able to run my biz, don't even like small phone, for nairaland and other reasons.

its simple... what d op is trying to say is "cut your coat according to ur size" ...u can buy as many as u like but mk sure dat u can still sustain yourself whilst doing so...not when u r struggling for T. fare,handouts/textbooks cash n food,u will go n buy d new iPhone 6 just cos ur O.B.O of a friend bought it...

Nigerians feeding the smartphone Market since 1960...some people fit blow their savings on top phone.

What is the meaning of "mbok"?

Whatever rocks your boat.
Some people can pay too much money for shoes, handbags, ashaawos, hairs, drinks, clothes or cars. I wonder whats the big deal in owning a phone.
In life do whatsoever that makes you happy. it's not as if one is buying the costly phones every week.

In church today here in asaba.. A girl came to church with z10..She happens to be in my front, every 5mins she brings the phone out holding it up so that those at the back will see she has a z10,and she will be on instagram page watching pictures, she did it up to 11th time I had to embarrass her.. I jejely seek the attention of the preacher and told her what she has been doing since and she kept distracting the church congregation... At first d preacher wanted to pardon her because she fine, trust niggas nah, dey all yelled at her and the pastor, she was forced to leave the church by the welcoming team...

nenergy:
My broda, if yu get N50k fone and still dey enter keke N50 EFCC supos arrest you..
N50k is 1/5 of the cost of a good fairly used car for kakukabu! #IncomeGeneration

at a point in time i was using a phone of 80k while using public transport( wait at junction for some minutes to get a keke), mark you, i bought that phone out of budget. my nokia X7 suddenly stopped working and couldn't be repaired by even nokia care lagos.

life na packaging........... #dontdiebecauseuarepoor

Some who use expensive smart phones are simply sick. I bought my tokumbo win7 hp laptop with 2gg ram, 360gg hdd, web cam, wireless, intel duo core etc @40k. I use it in d public without attracting attention. I make cool cash with it as a student especially along with my F300 printer. i live like a big boy and always have data in my modem. What can you do with the smart phone that my lapi cannot do?

......stil rocking my E71

He may av purchased it second hand. Not everyone using a supposed expensive device bought it brand new. Some could actually be a gift item, stolen item or even purchased at very low price from someone I'm dire need of money...

The op should not center his points on mobile phone alone. what about laptop? I don't see anything wrong in buying what you need or can afford.

Errmmmm....what are we supposed to learn from this irrelevant epistle?

Nonsense, give me my iPhone make i dey enjoy am. Nah me make you poor?

Bergs: life na packaging........... #dontdiebecauseuarepoor

i know bro.. but the consequences are worse off.. nobody will want to believe a guy with an s5,1ok shoes,5k wristwatch, looking all flashy is broke,i personally won't help such person if he comes ask me 4 help,most people won't either

lame reasoning

mrvocalprowess: no,its not dat ,all we are saying is live according to ur pocket.. y will u be using a phone of 60k and u can't subscribe common 2k? looking for cheat up and down? y will u be using 60k phone and be borrowing money everytime? isn't that a fake life? if u can afford it go for it ,but if u can't buy according to ur worth... shikena

how ppl choose to leave their life shouldn't be your bussiness in d first place. So many guys behaving like women these days....smh

My problem with some Nigerians is that they cannot live their lives(meagre as it may be) without drawing unnecessary inferences from the lives of other people. If a young man chooses to buy a #100k phone and beg for #20 bread, that is his business. If you bought a used Tecno phone and you're making all the money in the world with it - congratulations! But if Mr Johnson decides to buy the iPhone 6 plus and still uses a cab, that is his business.

I read on this thread from someone (whom I will later refer to a psychiatrist) that if you use a #50k phone, then you should have a car. If such fellow had a car, he won't be here spewing rubbish. Buy your 10 naira phone quietly and use it quietly.

mrvocalprowess: no bro.. u getting everything mixed,its not poverty, its reality, especially cos a phone is a liability .. Imagine a guy dat don't have 20k in his account but uses Samsung s5,if d phone gets stolen or lost nko?where will he start from?

how is it your business?
