53 Gold Plated iPhones For Nigeria’s Independence Arrives. Apple Declares IPhones With Nigerian Coat Of Arms As Fake.

The alleged order by the Federal Government of Nigeria of about 53 Gold Plated iPhone 5s for the 53 Independence anniversary, which have been proved to false, resurfaced again in Nigerian social media circle yesterday. The dubious post are claiming that the 53 Gold iPhones have arrived the country.

Regrettably, some Nigerians are distributing on the Internet, these fake and Photoshopped pictures of what they claimed are some of the Imported Gold plated iPhones 5s.


This Morning, we visited Westfield, London Shopping Plaza Office of Apples Inc , makers of iPhones on this subject matter.

The management laughed off the doctored Pictures of their product with Nigerian inscriptions and a coat of arm, describing it as fake and the work of amateurs. The went further to point out that the Apple Logo is missing and the printed iPhone name was also missing.

They draw our attention to the fact that the same 'hand that is holding the original advertised iPhone' is the same picture that the fraudsters used in their own post, making their low level work more apparent.

It is a shame that Nigerian can go this length to undermine the Integrity of the Federal republic of Nigeria and its people in the name of politics.

Nigerians can do better!
