Ridiculous- iPad 2 and Surrender Your Kidney
One thing that is very popular among Apple lovers is their habit of making sure they get any product the company introduces to them (they have the die-hard spirit of buying Apple products) even when the going wasn’t good at all. These type of people know method they can use to manipulate things in order to get what they want, though, at times they don’t want to care about what can happen after taking the step, what they’re after is the result and not the negative effect such moves can have on them.
This short description is what really matches this young 17 year old China youngster named Xiao Zheng, who thought that inability to have money to buy iPad can make him to anything in order to get it by selling his kidney in exchange for 20,000 yuan for iPad. Zheng is a 17 year old school student who wants iPad2 by all means but was unable to afford it due to lack of money and he later settled down for a deal that involves him exchanging his kidney for iPad 2 money. He told a newspaper journalist, “I want to buy an iPad 2 and I couldn’t afford it and a broker contacted me on the internet and said he could help me sell one of my kidney for the sum of 20,00o yuan.” He also made it clear that the broker did as He said by giving him 20,000 (which is approximately to around $3,000) immediately after he completed the operation process on April 28 said, Zheng.
But, the sad of this story is that as this young guy is planning all this evil and selfish (or what can we relates it with -is it greediness) moves, he did not inform any of his family including his mother. Then, upon completing the business transaction (trade-by-barter business) he went to buy iPad 2 and an iPhone 4 mobile device and this makes his mother to be more suspicious of him till the time she knows about the whole saga, how can a 17 year old unemployed kid purchase two Apple device in a day if there’s something else behind it? That’s one of the questions that’s ringing a bell in his mother’s brain.
After his mother notice the calamities which has befall his son, she inform the authorities and since then they have been trying to get hold of the suspected buyers of the young man’s kidney.
No matter the circumstances, what can ever happened to you that can make you to sell your kidney? Can you transfer your kidney for iPad 2 even if Steve Jobs beg you to do so?
Don’t be greedy because that’s the one of the message that this story passes across to us and let us have faith that we can achieve whatsoever we want to achieve if only we can wait for the appointed time.
getting out of bed feeling down but this has brightened my day!
really its very ridiculous but one thing is that peoples are crazy to get the things which they like most.
That’s very bad…thanks for the comment 🙂
hi Daniel
there is not much difference between like and true love.people whom like most they do true love with that.
You’re right Pankaj. Thanks for the comment 🙂
i think that guy is just a victim of Apples marketing
Yea, I also think so but above all, it shows the benefits and the influence of iPad on people generally. 🙂
I think that Xiao Zheng must be mad to do such a thing. This thing is also very common this days with a lot of people going to India to sell their kidneys. Thanks for the post Olawale
Dear Akeem,
It is a cool thing for me to see a fellow Nigerian doing amazing thing online. Just checked out your website, i could see it is still new. I hope you can stay focused to build it up to become a force to reckon with in Nigeria.
I like the template 🙂
