You're wrong, very very wrong Bro... It seems You're one of the people who use style to cover up for the lack of or insufficiency of money. Do you expect Dangote to be using an iPhone 6 plus when he's not a techy person ? big no cuz all he needs is to make calls and even a Thuraya is enough to do that. But Mark Zuckerberg on the other hand cannot even imagine sitting next to a phone that cannot even MMS not to talk of surf the web. FYI, Mack is using an iPhone 6 plus (that's just one of his smartphones) and they are both Billionaires in dollars !

So, that someone is fuccking rich and using a tonasobe doesn't mean me that I'm still on my way to being fuccking rich must not use a better phone, it all boils down to what you wanna use it for and your main purpose of buying it gan gan-an. and please don't call any phone silly cuz I know you can't use any part of your body to make phone calls by itself. BTW, I use a Samsung Galaxy S5 sha !

PEACE !!!

You've spoken well.

@Op, ure very on point but broke asses or illis will always... U know. Mnyle, u failed to add HTC. I use the M8-One even when I travel I do my usual office job from anywhere. I seldomly go to the bank as I do my transactions via phone. I don't 've to be carrying lappy here/there my phone does it all. Skype or whatsapp video or fb video chat on the go & many more. my hundred of thousands phone have yielded me more than X10.
You are on point brother. I even dey excel and PowerPoint work on my phone. I wonder what the op used in typing this his post.

when I stretch my neck to look at the phone "that" rich man will bring out from his pocket, I was disappointed he was using mini Nokia that's not up to 7k then I learnt my lesson.

a lot of ppl would have gone to any length just to afford this expensive phones but using 'big' phone doesn't tag someone rich. (some mumu's will say enjoy your money)


I am still waiting for the phone that will show me my future before I put my 100k on a phone that can crash at time.
Good bless you. My curve7 is still delivering for all I care.

do you think rich/business men have time to video chat or even text chat ? they have thousands of naira on their phones to make calls and if you wanna see them, you have to book an appointment.

check the most richest man in Nigeria and ask of the phone he is using.

only kwaxy ppl will spend 250k on a mobile phone.

if you work and sweat for your money, you won't spend it lavishly on silly things.

there is difference between "yahoo money, fraud money, stolen money, and "that money you sweat and work hard to get"

Lol lik seriously?!
D reason African business men hardly use all these Techy phones is dat they simply do not know how to use them or understand dia various functions. Why do you think Mobile company's keeps redesigning and updating dia phones to suit d business world. A white business man relys on his phone (very easy to carry around)for most of all his business transactions. Most of all dis phone devices are like having your office @ ur finger tip wherever you are. Why do you think they are pretty expensive?.

Is that because you can't afford expensive phones?

There is a reason why these phones are expensive besides the brand appeal, no?

Build quality and packed technology => $$$$$, No?

Immediately you leave the NDA and commissioned as a second lieutenant you are given a brand new well secured bb bold 5 as at 4 to 6 years ago now it's Q10, reason defence headquarters needs real time information to feed us d public during war etc, try not to argue too much you are person that sees things from one angle. Different professionals may require or may not require a smartphone. Mind you the white man use more smartphone than us here in nigeria and haven't you wondered why the white man company is called a multinational, that's because of well structured interconnectivity. Learn and stop arguing.

OK sir
read below

onatisi:
what many don't understand is that rich ppl don't have the time to be chAnging their phones everytime there is a new version
.they don't buy phones for trend sake but nessecity they will only buy what they need. Majority of Nigerians buying these big phones only browse and take pictures with them many don't even know the full potential of the handsets they are holding. Only young ppl who wants to feel among will spend lavishly on sets. Most rich guys are always in one meeting or the other and to them 24hrs is not even enough for their business and personal life. Only ppl who are less busy will have time to be looking at new phones and gadgets. Once a phone performs all a rich man wants he is stuck with it.he may not even change it for years.
