iPhone XR offer from stranger
A phone vendor (@ugootech) who later reacted to the video offered the girl an iPhone XR. The account said she could come pick it up at their store.
The laughing emojis before the comment made the sister ask if the stranger was serious about the offer.
Another person, Ugochukwu Precious, who reacted to the crying video, said it was a bad attitude for the secondary school girl to compare herself with her classmates who used better phones.
Lady agreed sister was ungrateful
The lady agreed with a TikToker's comment who said she never used a phone when she was in secondary school. She replied "exactly", suggesting the teenager should have appreciated the act behind the Itel phone gift.
