So on the bus today, someone brought out a real iPhone 14 pro max and was offering to sell it to my friend for 75k last. He said his mother was in the hospital and they needed 75k for the surgery which was why he needed the exact amount.
Since he mentioned 75k, my friend started pricing it for 50k.
To buy was hungrying him.
I collected it and checked.
Everything is working fine. The screen of the phone had the seller's picture as Screen saver.
I told my friend that the phone could be stolen.
He said even though it is, he would flash it and change the casing or resell it immediately.
That is how my friend paid o.
Through transfer.
Despite my warning.
I was just holding the phone and looking at it in shock.
At a point I wished it was me that bought it.
But kai.
50k for iPhone?
No na.
No amount of desperation would make me sell for 50k.
We alighted from the bus and waved at the man who said he was rushing to the hospital to begin the process of the surgery with the money.
My friend and I sat down under a tree to look at the phone he had bought again.
While the phone, it turned off.
The screen could not turn on again.
We felt it was battery so we decided to find a place to charge it.
Suddenly, the screen turned on again.
We started seeing the screen showing.
"Searching..."
The search icon stayed for like 2 minutes rotating like planet Earth.
Then it switched to.
"Tracking... Tracking... Tracking..."
I was the one holding the phone at that moment.
I quickly gave my friend his phone to hold first.
He didn't collect it again.
He said I should hold it.
I didn't understand anymore. So I shouted at him.
"Bros collect your phone na."
"Shey you dey hold am. Just dey hold am de go na. Make e track finish."
"Track who?"
"The thing e dey track?"
"Which thing? Oga hold your phone."
"Calm down na. We no know wetin e the track. Shey I dey here na. Hold am. Maybe e dey track network?"
"Hiaaann... Let it continue tracking network in your hand abeg. Hold your phone biko."
I shoved the phone in his pocket and continued began to walk home.
Suddenly from behind my friend shouted and ran past me.
I joined him to run.
While running I was asking him.
"Kelechi? Why are you running?"
Kelechi shouted back.
"The phone show location found."
"Which location?"
"I no know o. Maybe na our location."
I was still running right with Kelechi when I saw that he was running with the phone in his hand.
I turned back silently and started running left.
Left was a bush.
I didn't mind.
I kept following it and running for my life.
Only for me to turn back and see Kelechi following me behind with the phone still in his hand.
