Why would a teenager waste money on such expensive commodity?

I know you're trying to make sense on the importance of persistent hardwork, which by the way is applaudable, but the example you cited to lend more credence to your assertion was badly thought out.

Buying a laptop is not the bone of contention here. But purchasing an irrelevant stuff as iphone 7 at a very tender age is a poor decision, a route travelled far deep into the land of misguidedness.

What's so special about Iphones sef? What can it do that other phones can't? Mtcheeew!

Oh, it's not even a Nigerian scenario. To the waste bin, this thread!


You are wrong! I think you you should have focused on terms of usage by the end user, which to me, the cited quote from quora seem to be one of a well focused teenager, which is highly also lacking in Nigerian teenagers. You digg?

Op, you are not in Nigeria, remember.

For here ehhh.... these girls run after men, and the boys do a lot of stealing before they can afford the phones.


Ask any Port Harcourt girl what she wants, they will always say phones not less than 100k, and you begin to wonder if the said girl is by any chance related to Dangote.

Where in Nigeria can you find a job that pays the American minimum wage of $10 per hour? I have an online job and I am paid just an average of $3 for every 10 minutes of documents I transcribe, and transcribing a 10 minute document can sometimes take up to 2 hours.

How do teenagers afford these crazy expensive phones and computers these days?

I'm 17 years old, and have an iPhone 7 and am currently building a PC that will end up costing ~$3500.

So how do I afford it?

Most people will say their parents, but mine have taught me that if I want something, I need to work for it. So I got a job.

I work 20–30 hours a week, mostly after school and sometimes on the weekend. I make $10.10 an hour, pretty good considering the minimum wage is $7.25. I enjoy my works, sometimes it can be a little stressful to balance it with school but I deal with it as best as I can. I maintain all A and B grades, so they do not suffer because of work.

And I get to afford the things I want without the help of my parents.

I get what you mean but you are very wrong when you say that the girls run after men while the boys steal. There are legit jobs being done by some girls and same goes for the guys. The fact that you've come across some that act that way doesn't mean you should generalize it. That is simply a fallacy. It doesn't always have to boil down to these vices.

Except you hail from a wealthy family. Any teen who puts his back to work, only to use the funds derived therein to get Iphone 7 needs thorough mental evaluation. And needs to redefine his priorities.

Well, to each his own...


Everyone has a right to spend their money on things they consider a priority, be it an iphone 7 or creating more wealth.

Of course nigeria of today many many ladies are oloshos.

Bad decisions of babangiga, obasanjo, jonathan, buhari etc have turned many many ladies to prostitutes.
