A man has stirred reactions online after purchasing an iPhone 17 through an instalment plan on Easybuy.
The development was shared by @daniel-main on X (formerly Twitter), who revealed that the buyer is his friend and that it was his first time owning an iPhone.
According to the post, the phone was acquired through Easybuy with a monthly payment of ₦100,000, which he will continue paying for 25 months until the device is fully paid for.
“My guy finally got his first iPhone, an iPhone 17 from Easybuy. He pays 100k every month until 25 months, he will finish paying for the phone in 3 years 😂😭,” the tweet read.
The post quickly gained attention online, racking up over 170,000 views and drawing a wave of reactions from social media users who debated the idea of buying gadgets through long-term instalment plans.

Several users questioned the decision, particularly due to the interest rates often associated with Easybuy purchases.

“😭😭😹 Na by force? This is why I don’t do Easybuy. I just pity people due to the high interest they’ll later pay. Just save up and buy directly or buy the one that fits your budget.”
Ebis Gadget had a more neutral reaction, saying:
“That’s quite a plan. Hope he enjoys the iPhone 17 while working towards owning it.”
Others raised concerns about potential risks.
