In a startling revelation, a man was caught on camera repackaging UK-used iPhones as brand new to sell in Lagos. The footage, which has rapidly circulated online, has left many netizens in disbelief.

The video shows the man meticulously using a mini waterproof wrapping machine to cover the used iPhone cartons. Questions are being raised about the source of these phone cartons, leading many to speculate about the extent of this fraudulent practice.

Reactions from social media users have been swift and critical. One commenter stated, "This is how they'll repackage UK used phones and sell them at exorbitant prices." Another chimed in with shock, saying, "The day I was told that I could buy a brand new iPhone that is not actually brand new in Ikeja, I was shocked."

Adding to the discourse, a third user remarked, "I tell people that 60% of so-called new iPhones are refurbished. But what do I know?"




Is this business-wise or an act of criminality?

The iphone represents Tinubu and the machine represents agbado voters

There is nothing new here.
Nigerians are as corrupt as their leaders.

I'm surprised you are surprised

This is a normal procedure na.

The guy tried. At least he's not selling akpu packaged inside iPhone box. So if pesin buy am, at least dem go get chinko phone instead of akpu.

Keep doing what you do, but one day your yansh go open.

It could even be the fake versions and not UK used....

There are people selling online and will tell you the specs and that it is the fake version and will also sell at a very reduced price.

That is better IMO.

If your president is fraudulent, how much more his citizens. Still better than packaging akpu.

If Buhari could be repackaged and sold to Nigerians, abeg make una free the guy.

After getting home with the new iphone.

I remember in my undergraduate days, my friend had d iPhone 6s and was the biggest boy in class. I tested d earpiece and d loudness was marvelous

In my department in 100level, we had about 7 guys only, while women were just everywhere. Na computer science o... D guy was like a geek to us. With Smart watches and other gadgets... at d end, he dropped out. So much for buying iphones and not being able to pay sch fees.

The rot is everywhere 😩😩😩

This guy resemble Timothy o

96% of used phones sold in Computer Village are either stollen or repackaged.

Stealing of phones is rampant in abroad. .

I would rather buy a brand new Redmi phone that is 140k than buy a flagship iPhone, Samsung device that am not sure of it's source.

Give yourself a rest of mind from police and sudden device malfunctions, and get a new phone.

Almost all phones bought outside of the brands offices are repackaged.
You don't know?
The Chinese can even fool their fellow Chinese with that, not to talk of you zombie African. They discard old phones once a new model comes on and will basically change the casings, clear the inside, then repackage that, and pronto, it smells new. Before your very eyes!

There is a place where they do that in China, and people from poor African and Asian countries come there to buy that.
But then, it is a function of reality. Most times, you find people doing that because the buyers want the big brand names without being ready to pay the real cash for the product.

I buy straight from the source. No time. Thank God for friends and family who japa’d long ago. At worst, I get hand-me-downs.
