Do we really need a government in this nation... Should we just continue to live in disorganised chaos?

But how are we sure the information is correct?
I don't believe this joor

Seriously dis is pure madness. Given phones to pple who can decide to go to d company n make customize once. Am disappointed in GEJ.
Who be dis im Advisers self

My grand ma will always tell me this, ''the yanga wey go go yanga in 5yrs time, if you start am today wahala go dey for you o''

fury: Please can someone help me out, i've gone through the article and could not find anywhere were its mentioned that Nigeria has ordered 53 of the said Gold phones. Or am i missing something?

Basic models in gold or rose gold cost from
£3,000. Ali says he is fulfilling an order from
the Nigerian government for 53 gold iPhones
to mark the country’s 53rd year of
independence from Britain next month.


next time mr man when you want to read an article pls dont read the first line and say you dont understand the story

NoOffience.

Which FG? It isn't stated in the so called news. I'm sure the current FG won't want to be embroiled in this kind of controversy at moment. I don't know where this (fake) news originated from.

So, GEJ is now buying iphones with the money he realised by implementing "no work no pay" rule on striking ASUU lecturers

am sure most of those bastards doesnt even know what an iphone is useful for...... .

Mr Aboki: LIES!!!!!!!

This is not SR or Premium times, neither is it any of your perceived opposition websites.

Brymo: keep us updated about d protest,when u get 2 Abj.

This is the problem we are having in Nigeria.Nobody wants to stand up for his/her right.Everybody just looks the other way when things like this happen.ASUU is on strike and a news like this comes up, yet nothing is being done about it.Nigeria will never move forward if the citizens don't stand up for their rights.Once again, I suggest we all move to Abuja to protest.

unmask: The only problem i have with this development is that why must it be an iphone, couldn't they get an htc one or galaxy note 3?

Can you please keep your childish fanboyism out of this? Adults are discussing here.

I don't believe this story pls I need the real source

okonjo iwela wii now come out tomorrow and tell us there is no money to pay striking lecturars...... see what they are using the money to do now ooo

The only problem i have with this development is that why must it be an iphone, couldn't they get an htc one or galaxy note 3?or nokia torch lite

independence
iPhone
53iPhones
53rd Independence

50,000GBP x 53 = 2,650,000GBP

2,650,000 x 255 = N675,750,000

Of what significance is a gold plated iphone on independence day?

U no get money to give ASUU abi,na only evil una dey promote......D world is nobody's own....All is VANITY UPON VANITY

I don't believe this story. The GEJ administration has to be wiser than this. Haba!

So funny

Be assured you will see this iPhones in the hands of their little girlfriends..I no get talk,since the people have refused to act, I am warming up to join a political party right now, I can't sit on the fence and watch this party going on.....#Noway.

i refuse to believe this. how can a government that claims to have the interest of the people at heart embark on such frivolous and wasteful expenditure. if they'll just use half of that money to provide basic infrastructure, i'm sure the masses would appreciate that more.

besides, how sure are they that d tiny group of people who they want to give the iPhones to can even use the phones i'm sure nokia 3310 would be a better gift. antique tinz

Jonathan's wastes passeth all understanding

Irresponsible Reckless govt with misplaced piorities..

We are waatching.

Mr Aboki: LIES!!!!!!!

Check the link. It is the Independent UK. A reputable news source. They have no reason to lie and they normally establish a sensible level of truthful accuracy about a story before they go to print. You guys may not accept it, but life does not revolve around Nigeria. The article is not even about Nigeria. It is about a UK businessman who happens to mention, pertinent to his business and success which is the focus of the Independent regortage, that he has a lucrative order from the Nigerian Government.

This is a positive story for the Independent as it showcases a UK Businessmen trading beyond the Border of the nation. No one, not the Independent or the featured businessman, has any reason to lie against Nigeria. They are just reporting good news from their end while we, the dysfunctional Country making others rich with our inhuman excesses, will be here shouting "LIES !!!" and saying " I don't believe this joor". If you guys check the link you will see, despite the title of this thread, that the feature article is not about Nigeria at all. Nigeria is incidental to the central topic. The original title of the article is reproduced below with the featured picture of the customized iPhones the British businessman produces.

Let me guess, we are all making our positive contributions to ensure the FG stops misplacing its priorities ever so often.. FROM THE COMFORT OF OUR KEYBOARDS.. yea right.. as if that makes any difference
