‘Recession is just a word’ until you lose something so small like, say, Apple’s fancy AirPods; wireless earpieces made primarily for their flagship smartphone, the iPhone 7.
So you got the iPhone 7 (as recession is just a word, yes?) and now that the AirPods are available in Nigeria, you got those too. It’s just N180,000 anyway.
Then one day, the unthinkable happens and your AirPods go missing
And the AirPods’ design make them so easy to misplace in our Nigeria full of hustlers, robbers and lovers (of shiny things anyway).
ALSO: What are you going to do with N17m headphones?
Now, imagine the different ways you could lose your AirPods and how you would react.
When your girlfriend says she took them two weeks ago
Then she gives you a peck; which is sign language for ‘kiss those AirPods goodbye boy, thanks for the early birthday gift.’
Who said it’s a good idea to use them in public transportation?
Now someone’s swiped them off your ears while getting down from the bus and all you can do is scream ‘my earpiece my earpiece’. Everyone’s wondering what’s so special about your earpiece even.
This is how the other passengers will be looking at you as you’re telling them your ‘earpiece’ is N180,000.
When it goes missing at home and your dad who got it for you finds out
Apostle will certainly hear of this one.
When it falls off your ears and the person behind you steps on them
When an African mum goes Hulk on them after you didn’t hear her calling you
That’s the face you make while she’s telling you how many times she called you without answering.
Then you just can’t hold yourself anymore when you realise she just wants you to help update her WhatsApp.
Anyway, away from all that and without even going on and on about why the heck they cost that much, there’s an accessory to help you not lose these precious AirPods.
Neat stuff, right? Yeah. But there’s a catch … you have to buy that strap too. Just $10.
