God bless you Reno. You are indeed a genius.

'No one on earth' even Bill Gates children and Dangote children?

Those who can afford it will certainly buy it.

For those quoting me.
As far as he generalized and said 'nobody on earth' that has nullified his NEEDS statement.

I can afford it but I will swallow my pride

Obviously you don't know the meaning of "need".

If you said an entertainer "needs" it to maintain status, that's understandable.

But Dangote, Gates and their children? What do they need it for?

When a person throws unnecessary advice like this, know very well that his/her personal life is in shambles. This is no different from the many marriage counselors who get divorced after two months of matrimony. Make this guy go sleep, abeg, nobody cares that he washes toilets in England, France and America.

The company produced the phones for people to buy

the message isn’t for everyone. Everyone must not have sense

LibertyRep:
Anyone thatcan genuinely and conveniently afford it should buy it.
Saying ' no one on earth' is a lot of exaggeration.

It is not an exaggeration.

Need is what he said.

The iphone 13 is not curing anything and it is merely a marginal improvement over iphone 12 which is just one year old. There will also be iphone 14 in another one year. Why many may want it, they obviously don't need it.

Druss:
Comprehension deficit dey this thread. Reno said No one needs an IPhone13. That is different from no one wants an IPhone13. Very different.

The sheer fact that some people don't understand the difference speaks to the lack of financial education and English comprehension. That is a very dangerous combination.

Actually projecting his own reality is where he missed the whole plot. There are people that need the iPhone 13.
Did you know someone bought a 1755 car for $100million dollar. Do I need it? NO. But the person that paid people to look for that did and I can't use my situation to pass judgment on him.
What car does Reno drive? I'm sure it's not a 2005 Corolla, does he need a car? Yes but does he need the model and specs of the car he's driving? no since the function of a car is to move you from point A to point B so any car should do right?

I mean it's 2021, shouldn't we at this point move pass all these recycled motivational crap we hear every year?

If you no even go school, you pass through secondary school. The word 'nobody' used is an hyperbole.

are you the owner of the many to know what they need?
People collects old cars and pay insane about for it.
People prefer weird shit like dominatrix and BDSM.
People are different, so are our need and wants. You can't use your own reality and generalize for everybody.

If u buy iPhone 13, and u still dey fly bike or enter public transport, normal normal u no suppose have a good future…

Those are wants.

That they pay insane amounts for it dioesn't mean they need it.

You need a phone. You don't need the latest iphone. You want it.

HEAVEN4444:
so you have only 100 million in your akant and you want to buy phone of 1 million ? is like your head is paining you. 1 million naira phone is for person who has 100 billion naira in akant not 100 million. yeye guy make poverty no wound you ooo. 100 milion that cannot buy plot of land in banana island. chicken change

U are definitely one of those poverty have fried their brains

NwekeUG:
Reno Omokri stated via his Instagram handle that making investments is necessary than owning an iPhone13, IgbereTV reports.

He wrote;

100% correct.
Reno Omokri is best as an economist and human rights lawyer and not a political pundit.

The point you're overlooking is that it's different for everybody.
If I ask you what you need right now, do you actually think it'll be the same as mine.
If I say I need money right now to go flex at Disney land, it might sound like I'm stupid to you when I should use that money for a whole lot of things (that right there is the problem, the whole lot of things you will come up with is from your own reality, not mine as you don't know what and what I have or want or need). which is my point in the first place

Kingcalls:


Nonsense...his statement is trash...he should rather say ,no one with a moderate income needs an iPhone... so if I hv investments that gives me large incomes...I should not buy a mere 700k phone ...money wey boys de blow one night for club.... he should also condemn those that fly first class

provided you no be politicians or top government officials, those wey dey blow that kind money for 1 night daily ain't into genuine business or work

Is it your money ??

cedricksly:
read what I said again, it is not because reno said so, it is because it is not a smart financial move.... It is solely my opinion and you sure have yours... If this iPhone 12 Pro max I dey use never get technical issue or any fault. Nigga forget it I no know if iPhone 13 come out... The only thing that will aid me changing it to iPhone 13 is if the screen or the battery needs replacement, then I just go for a new one...

Then we should not fly first class again or sleep in luxurious hotels again , or buy the rolls Royce and ferraris.... it is a very dumb thing to say.... luxury has always been a part of human existence, and using the latest iPhone is also part of luxury.... buying an ordinary phone of 1m will not make me broke if I earn enough

Yoruba people go buy an too.much pride

VTJN:

Thats the mistake u guys make... 1million naira is small money guy... seems like most people hang around people that struggle... I just don't get it.. u cant condemn those that can afford it simply because 1m seems big to u... someone that even has 10m can still buy a phone of 1m as long as he has good earnings and probably hv most things he needs.....

People are actually getting Reno all wrong. He's actually not talking or generalizing it. Ofcourse he knows there are people who can afford 100 of it without a blink. It's just the way he put it down that seems somewhat wrong. It all depends on your class and social status. An iPhone can be your need while it isn't mine vice versa. That doesn't makes you stupid or extravagant. You have the excess money to afford it without feeling it a bit. While i may have the money but can't go for it because I'll feel. It will affects my finances. The difference is clear

High class and social status
Lower class or medium

Economy is a social stratification

That's the problem here. You people don't understand the difference.

Needs are largely universal. They are not subject to individual whims.

You will see someone using a high end phone and still complaining about being broke or unemployed.

Please, why are Apple products expensive? Can someone explain why to me?

Modrovdeux:
Good advice

The thing is, all these phones we are running to buy will be obsolete in five years time, if not in two years time.

Below is the Nokia N series. Advanced tech in their day, old age jokes now.

I dey tell you!

Back then in 2009, I got the N97 and within a month they released a better model in the series.

The thing vex me ehh.

As you said, now they're all relics.

HEAVEN4444:

Lmao. You surely don't know what money is if you think using 1% of your wealth to buy a phone is extravagant.
Most people carrying even 50k phones have never seen 500k in their lives. So it's even more than 10% of their networth.

Branding/Positioning.

They also use the most premium fvcking components available.

Their design and overall user experience is always 10/10...for many people.

Newton85:
What stupid point did he make? That "absolutely no one" needs an IPhone 13?

the diff btwn 12pro max and 13 is the ram space. so why would you need to buy a 500gb space phone when you can easily go for a Mac book?? it's needless

This una Reno should stop advising and talking about everything. He most times sound dumb.

He advised you guys to buy Apple shares and Microsoft shares. How will those companies' share become profitable if people don't buy their products?



Once Apple, Microsoft and the rest big companies wey their shares are profitable to invest, stop making sells, their shares will crash and investors go lose money.

No buy apply phone 13 but buy their shares? Lol.

Oga na the level of buys from their newest products they push their shares to become profitable.

So if I hv a hundred million in my account , I should not buy it cos reno said so??
