Any1 spending dat kind of money in dis economy must be gaining sumtin rili gud frm dis buhari's govt or sum teenager who is not yet wrkin/hustling for his or her own money. If u rili hustle for ur money, u won't blow it on a fone dat doesn't print money

The emboldened is fallacy. It's a luxury item to some people, just as some love wrist watches, shoes, belts...etc.

That said, I know someone gaining good from Buharis' government_ he's into FX. The guy celebrated his child's dedication recently, one would think it was a wedding ceremony.

I want to believe this is for humour cheesy
Can 400k really buy someone a plot of land? If so, I am interested wink
As for the other options I would pick an iPhone 7 instead? Why? Because it's an investment. When you are done using the phone, u can still sell it and get back atleast half of what you bought the phone for. I bought my iPhone 6 for $500, I can still sell the phone today and get back atleast $300 - $350. But if I go Dubai for a weekend or stay in oriental hotel for 3 nights with that money, the money is gone forever!
It's all about being wise!
Nobody buys a fairly used iPhone ,be it 6 or any higher variant above 50k in this country ,else you don't reside in Nigeria... A Trip to computer village will convince you!

It's still better than buying something that you cannot sell at the end of the day. The phone is not a liability per say because it makes your everyday life easier or can you live without a phone? I'm sure the answer is no!
Yeah but that dont mean u hav to buy an iphone u can buy another good phone half that price nd use the remainder of the money for something important also.

The 256GB iPhone 7 will cost you $950. At 420 naira to one dollar, you might be better off buying these other things instead.
Arguable the most sought after smartphone in the world has been announced and will be available for sale very soon.

But are you about to spend N400,000 on a smartphone, in this economy, when you can get these instead?

1. DStv subscription for 28 months. Premium PVR sef, you’re covered


2. One and half years’ rent in Egbeda With borehole and mai-guard


3. One plot of land in Ikorodu. Distance doesn’t matter. Ambode will soon fix the road


4. Two plots of land in Ekiti




5. Naija used Honda Baby Boy. Say goodbye to the danfo lifestyle


6. Weekend in Dubai. #DubaiBalling


7. 8 days at Oriental Hotel. Lau-lau spending


8. 1,333 bottles of beer. We be drinking till six in the morning


9. 1,000 packs of small chops.


10. 21 pairs of Adidas Yezzy Boost.


11. 13 Sallah rams. Oya turn up!


12. 40 haircuts from Tbillz’s barber. Flawless friction all day


13. 2,578 litres of petrol. Because scarcity can start any fucking time


14. 3 pieces of London used iPhone 6s


Be guided.

Well that's nigeria na! Sorry if that's where u sell ur used phones. In the US, it sells for much more. Even trading in your used phone at an Apple Store will give you up to $400 if you are lucky

Yes but the amount of money you make back is what defines the superiority and uniqueness of the item.
As for the iPhone making your life easier... It's common sense.
Phones aid communication and make your everyday life easier. You can bank through your phone, as we speak you are commenting on nairaland through your phone, the phone connects you to your loved ones and keeps you in touch with the world not only through social media but through other means. When there is problem, you run to your phone to search for solutions. You know what is going on in the world because people document and record things through their phone. Bottom line, you cannot live without a phone. The needs and purpose of owning a Phone is endless!

Anything u can make back money from is an investment.
hehehehehehe
lmao.. you no do economics for school o

investment:
the outlay of money usually for income or profit


asset:
an item of value owned



Asset can also be an investment.
e.g a house for rental is an asset and also an investment.
a car for cab,
a land for lease.
those are example of asset for investment.

iPhone, cloths TV etc are asset liability .. grin

Well look at it on a brighter note, nothing will happen to the phone and you will be able to sell it and get half of the money back when you are ready to.
As for me, I've never had a phone stolen or ever lost a phone in my life.

Well thats merely a scrap value.. the phone shouldn't be seen as an investment if its not expected to generate some future economic benefits. If you will be using the phone for a business that requires it, then we can say its an investment.

Whats so special about apple when its not made by the gods, well if one has the money to buy it nd taking that money out wont hurt him or her why not carry on he or she can as well buy more but if one doesnt have that great of an income and has lots of responsibilities i would say getting a phone of that price is very stupid.

Yeah true but if those choices might hurt u why go for it, if ure not affluent enough to get something like that reduce ur standards,sacrifice for a cheaper one, in life u cant always get wat u want, if one sticks to a ridiculous notion that whatever he or she wants he or she must have then he or she is in for a ride.
