A Nigerian man has gone viral after purchasing his first iPhone, an iPhone 17, through Easybuy, choosing to pay in instalments over three years.
Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @daniel-main, a friend of the buyer, the post revealed that the man will pay ₦100,000 monthly until completing the full payment in 25 months, effectively stretching the purchase across three years.
The tweet has garnered over 170,000 views, prompting mixed reactions from social media users.
Some expressed concern over high interest and the long repayment period, with one commenting, “This is why I don’t do Easybuy… just save up and buy directly.”
Others found the situation amusing, joking about the upcoming iPhone 18 release before he finishes paying.
The story highlights the growing popularity of installment plans in Nigeria, as well as the humour and debate that accompany long-term gadget financing.
