“The only lifestyle poor people know is iPhone and Benz” – Singer, Shakar El

Nigerian singer, Chukwudi Ezeagwa, popularly known as Shakar EL, has opined that the only lifestyle poor people know is iPhone and Benz.

Taking to his Insta-stories to air his opinion, Shakar EL noted that a poor person would rather spend thousands on an iPhone than spend money on things that will enable them to live a comfortable life.

According to him, such people would spend 500K to get the latest iPhone while rocking the same set of clothes for years.

“Some people Dey use iPhone wey be like 500k but dem dey sleep on top foam wey be like Rock stone… You see why you no fit fresh and u go dey use a million filters for social media… The only lifestyle poor people know is iPhone and Benz…Dem go still dey wear same old pants, boxers, bra, use same old towel and toothbrush year in year out.

They only bother about things that the public will see…Before you buy that new iPhone abeg buy new towels, change your toothbrush, buy new bedsheets, buy new pants, boxers, bra, etc.” He wrote.

In related news, a young Nigerian lady shared a video on her TikTok space where she shamed guys who still use old iPhone models. She however received backlash from netizens who ridiculed her for living in a not so posh environment but has the nerve to shame other people.

Her TikTok video made rounds on social media and in it, she records herself in a space that’s supposedly her room and makes jest of guys who use iPhone models that has a button unlike the recent series without one.

While netizens ridiculed her for making such a video, one particular young man, who’s a tad popular on the video-sharing space lambasted the lady for bragging with a phone worth over N500K yet living in a house that looks tattered and unkempt; one which he compared with a prison.
