<p>Okay, let’s be real: an iPhone in Nigeria is not just a phone it’s a personality trait. Someone can own the tiniest iPhone 6, with a cracked screen that looks like it’s been through Boko Haram, and still walk around like they’re Tim Cook’s prodigal child. Meanwhile, you with your shiny Samsung S23 Ultra will still hear, “But it’s not iPhone sha.”</p><p>Why? Because the Apple logo isn’t just branding it’s social currency. That little bitten fruit is basically the Gucci belt of gadgets.</p><p>Here’s the irony though: Androids can actually do more. They have expandable storage, dual SIMs, 200MP cameras that can see the future. But if you post on WhatsApp with an Android, your video looks like it was filmed on CCTV in 2009. Post the same thing with an iPhone and suddenly you’re a cinematographer with Netflix potential 🎥✨.</p><p>Sociologically, this isn’t just tech talk it’s class talk. Phones become status symbols, a way of showing where you stand on the invisible ladder of prestige. It’s not megapixels people are buying, it’s validation.</p><p>So next time you see someone flexing with an iPhone, don’t be mad. They’re not just holding a device—they’re holding a whole social identity.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
