Nigerian jeweller Malivelihood has launched a luxury gadget for supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This exclusive gadget is designed for the City Boy Movement, which supports Tinubu’s re-election campaign for 2027.
Nigerian celebrity jeweller Malivelihood has introduced an exclusive luxury gadget aimed at supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a video posted on his Instagram, Malivelihood showcased a customised 24-karat gold Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, specially designed for the City Boy Movement, a group actively backing Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
The gold-plated phone was presented in an opulent package featuring symbols of the All Progressives Congress, highlighting its political connection. Online reports suggest that an anonymous buyer may have already placed orders for around 200 units of the customised device.
In the clip, which has since gone viral, the jeweller unboxed the luxurious phone, emphasizing its engraved design and high-end casing. The device prominently featured branding linked to the City Boy Movement, a slogan associated with Tinubu’s supporters.
Known for crafting premium customised items for prominent Nigerians, Malivelihood appeared visibly proud while displaying the gleaming gadget.
The release sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many Nigerians questioning the appropriateness of showcasing such an extravagant item amid widespread economic challenges. Critics pointed to rising inflation, increasing living costs, and frequent power outages as reasons the timing of the reveal might be considered insensitive.

@mariam_adun_:”Before you even open the box, you already know say this no be regular phone. The packaging alone looks like it’s carrying state secrets. 24k gold, crocodile finish, luxury briefcase… this is wealth presentation. I’m obsessed”
@iam_josh001:”What’s exciting about this? The masses are out there suffering, nobody cares about them, what’s the city boy movement all about? The system is not working, a system where you can’t get a court order to stop a fraudulent transaction if you don’t pay, a system where you can’t report a case at the police station and actions will be taken immediately if you don’t pay or knows someone in high places. What’s exactly is exciting about this movement? Who give a F**k about this phone? It’s so sad… I’m pained cause I’m a victim of this failed system. Failed judiciary, failed everything..”
