[size=20pt]Corrupt Nigerians and the evil cabal in PDP are paying internet trolls to launch campaign of calumny to discredit President Muhammadu Buhari in their desperate plots to frustrate and scuttle the current war against corruption.

Nigerians are so foolish; they can count up to huge amount of money just to buy a phone that will eventually go by one-chance.
You're making the common mistake of equating what you can afford to lose to that of other people. The way you won't feel it too much if your Nokia Asha is looted by one-chance, there are people in this country who will feel that same way about losing an IPhone 7 (not like most people who will buy this phone are at a risk of one-chance but the point remains).
It's funny how people feel they can judge what other people spend their own money on.

My brother, i know slot very well. I have bought not less than 8 phones in slot without exaggeration.

Bought for myself and bought for people.

Slot is even a franchise now such that u can bear slot and be selling phone there.

but i insist that no one does iPhone Pre Order in Slot. Except u are not sincere in your claim to seeing some one do that.

If you said iStore, I will gladly agree.

No big deal.

Nigerians live for the moment and on hope.

Paying N290k for a phone is idealistic as a typical Nigerian is not expected to plan life beyond one year.

Apple has released the next generation iPhone at its annual event in San Francisco - the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7s. Its distinct features are - a pressure sensitive home button, better camera, a fast processor and improved battery life, and as well as having no headphone jacket. It also has improved dust and water resistance. Ranging from 32GB model to 128GB model and 256GB model, the new iPhone 7 has come to stay.

The good news is that there are usually pre-orders for Apple products especially the Apple iPhone around the world. Nigerians are also part of this. Ironically, so many Nigerians can not afford any of the iPhone series let alone iPhone 7.
Africa, of course, is a home for luxurious imported products as expensive tech products gets a big market in Africa. Nigeria and Africa at large usually serve as a dumping ground for high-quality tech products without producing that least one product the world craves for, this is indeed a sorry story.
According to statistics, for 2016 the number of smartphone users in Nigeria is estimated to reach 15.5 million of the 2.6 billion smartphone users in the world. Also, Apple's market share of smartphone vendors worldwide is 16.2% following Samsung's 31.3% share of all shipments as of 2013. Nigeria ranks 17 in the global smartphone usage. This is rather sad for a country which ranks 33 most corrupt country in the world.

Some Nigerians jump at every new version of phones without understanding the features it performs. Some of those who have iPhone 6s will start having the headache on how to get the new iPhone 7s. The desperation for phones has led many Lagos girls to a journey of no return. Funny enough they don't fully understand the features of iPhone 6s. I am sure some people are waiting for the London use, ok wait.

iPhone which was manufactured as far back as 2007 upgrades it's version every year especially in September to meet up with the end of the year peak sales. I think Nigerians should strive towards achieving excellence rather than celebrating luxury. Even some university girls and boys who have no job, whose parents still live in one room apartments use iPhone 6 which worths 192,000 NGN. Then I wonder why they cannot help their parents with the funds.
Two days ago, a friend told me about a young adult who saved the money he made from work and bought his parents who were living in a room and parlour self-contain a house. This may definitely sound unacceptable to some people, but the truth is that it is time for Nigerian youths to start thinking big.

Interestingly, the cost of iPhones drops as soon as an upgraded one is manufactured. We can actually invest our funds in businesses we can get returns, rather than buying goods that would depreciate. It just so interesting that there are some places in Lagos where one can get a good two bedroom flats for less than two hundred and fifty thousand naira.

Nigerians should be wiser at this point. Invest in accommodation which is one of the basic human needs, rather than invest on a phone today.

These phones are not for Africans, they are designed for the developed world. Even a teenager getting minimum wage will comfortably buy iPhone7 in one month. Don't stress yourselves Nigerians, buy what you can afford, no one cares about you.
