Nigerian Government Orders 53 Real Gold iphones for 53rd Anniversary

A Dubai based businessman, Amjad Ali has been contracted by Nigerian government to supply 53 real gold iPhones to mark the country’s 53rd independence.

The Bristol-born Amjad supplies royal families, governments, and minted customers across Russia, China and the Middle East with gold-plated devices that cost up to £50,000. Meanwhile, basic models in gold or rose gold cost from £3,000.

According to Ali, he is currently working on an order from the Nigerian government for 53 gold iPhones to mark the country’s 53rd year of independence from Britain next month.

“We will engrave them with the coat of arms, a shield and two horses,” he said.

Commenting on how his team at Gold and Co. handles customers order, Ali said “we strip the units down and then plate them in copper, nickel and then pure gold. We have limited units per region and each is numbered and placed in a handmade wooden box with a certificate of authenticity and wax seal,” he told the Independent UK.
