they phone can't be smarter than them so they prefer to be smarter than there phones.....



ALIKO self

Even this Virgin Atlantic CEO uses Nokia 3310. Only the contacts on the phone can give someone nine lives.

am sure they have other phones,they have tons of lines so it cant be there only phone....and jackie chan was using nokia 3310 to at some time

That is why they are rich.
They go for what they need not what others think they should have.

It is a fact that those who create how we live do not live like us. These guys understand that a phone is a tool of productivity and not a fashion accessory. I don't think one will find Dangote trying to be the first person to get the latest iphone as some are obsessed with. Being able to make and receive calls on the go is far more important that the phone itself.

Am not surprised.


Na poor ppl dey always try to show off when the gat nothing

Very true. These folks can be themselves and not need to impress anyone because they set the standards for how the rest of man live. They know what really matter and can live above the image conscious obsession most average men and women are driven by.

I don't believe ,it should be old picture around 2012 bold 5 was 60k plus as for the nokia when you are out most of the time nokia is the best bet because of strong battery life to make and receive call then you reserve your other big phone for browsing.

True.

I buy big phone for my use, not to look big.

in Nigeria, even the rich behave like the poor cos as a rich man, there are things you don't wanna be seen with- that's the mindset. So the rich and the poor are in competition because people see you for what you have on, not what you are worth.

Before nko, you expect them to be dragging iPhone 6 with them wizkid and davido besides this guys won't have time pressing phone.

Drum wey get water for inside no dey make noise

My yoruba ppl kindly translate oooooooooooo

And many have sold their bodies for IPhone 6.

wow!
when my undergraduate friend is using an iphone 6+ and bb passport...

I'm wandering what she does because she said she bought it with her money not her parent's!

Blackberry for Business & Data Security

Lmao. Na true oh

Because smartphones are a distraction that takes up your time and keep you idly staring and using them

and my brother who does not have a job is saving money to buy Samsung Edge...
" I go always pray for you"....

Simplicity. They don't make noise about their wealth

Otedola is playing snake
Can't score 1500

That otedola pics has been in circulation since 2012 while dangote's own was taken when Bold 5 was still in vogue. Believe me, these men have other high end phones which possibly their ordelies are holding or are in their pockets. Even people that show off with phones still own smaller phones talk less of these money bags.


Besides, most of the exposed society men are wary of the threat internet pose to their private and business lives and choose to stick to the old ways of communications.

While some ran awol just to get BB passport. SMH

These are the men that understand how to balance assets and liabilities.

every mallam get how im like to dey carry im kettle......

Humility
