kevoh: Actually not my money, the government nor yours was spent, yeah you reading this post.I see no reason why you should complain that this is wasteful!

luluosas:
Do you know what you are talking about here? Spending 2.2 billion naira plus for a mere phone, no matter what it is made of isn't waste? Na wao.

"waste" is relative

Jeffy1206: maybe him tink say na #15000 dem talk lol

chuks315: These kinds of phones are for the super elite. The phone is clearly to show status.

luluosas:
Vanity + Vanity + Vanity + Vanity all = Vanity.

it's his money.

Is it your money that was wasted?

Please keep quiet make we hear word...

What's wrong with you people and your over-righteousness? It's the man's money, he worked hard for it (hook or crook) it's not your business how he spends it! If e dey pain una, go and make your own billions too.

Jeffy1206: I don't think any Nigerian will afford it exerpt Dangote wan waist de money which am sure he will not. Naija guyz dis wan pass our power as we just de say na him money. Only a few wud buy de fone in the whole world. don't get me wrong oo!!

Jeffy1206: guy shush ur mouth nd stop mumbling. It is so lugubrius dat u are talking nonsense. Who say him get de money in the first place?

kevoh:

It's custom ordered (custom made) for the chinese businessman not like it was put up for sale by the designer like phones at computer village in other words the rich man specifically asked for his iphone to be designed that waym

Besides I see it as a way of insuring his money instead of the 'waste' that some people are crying up and down. If he gets tired of the phone all he needs to do is remove the 600 diamonds and the gold and sell or reuse.So make una chill abeg!

they failed to read that part obviously

What is this one saying? It's 'Lugubrious' not 'lugubrius'. At least if you want pretend say you sabi big english try spell am well.

And who told you the Chinese businessman does not have the money. Did you even read the post at all?

Jeffy1206: guy I dnt consult dictionary b4 comenting just lyk de way u did. my guy u have no case here cos I was onli tryin to save ma tym. well dat helped to knw de meaning by reserchin it to criticise me lol...

is this your excuse?

luluosas: Abeg, make all of una wey dey say na your moni na your money chill down jare.
When Abacha's money was discovered abroad, how many of you shouted it was his money? When Akingbola was arrested by the EFCC, how many of you shouted it was his money? When Cecilia Ibru was arrested by the EFCC, how many of you shouted it was her money? Whether you people accept it or not, this money expended on this damned phone is a total WASTE, even if the man acquired/make his money legitimately.

totally off course....... would you consider it
waste if Dangote were to spend 15m Naira on something fancy?

yes i used naira.

you need to ask yourself:
what is he worth?
definitely much more than the $15m.
it'll be peanuts to him.

try explaining to a man who grew up
in a poor east african country why
you would spend N170,000 on an iPhone

British designer Stuart Hughes is a name that is more often
than not associated with the glitzy and expensive lifestyle, as
he has come up with plenty of weird and pricey designs in the
past, including an iPad that had a real T-Rex bone in it.

luluosas:
Now to the topic:

The writer used the word WEIRD.

the wierd used there is in reference
to the design. hence the reference to
his previous design which used a real
t-rex bone.

the fact is "waste" is relative.
some folks would actually consider
getting an iPhone a waste

Now, how many weird things have you seen Dangote done with his stupendous wealth? Or, is job creation which is synonymous with the name Dangote a weird thing? Maybe you need to educate me/us here. Thank you.

now you're going somewhere else.
my question was

ciphoenix: would you consider it waste if Dangote were to spend 15m Naira on something fancy?

you do consider it wasteful whereas
someone else in same socioeconomic
class wouldn't.
you need to understand that class
shapes thought.
