Interesting. I had problem with my first phone too, a Sagem in 2004. Since its a first, lack of experience comes to the fore. Secondly, never buy any used item...

My freestyle rap single dropping here on Nairaland on Saturday the 12th wink

As formulaic as every other Nigerian music video:

1. Autotune. where would nigerian artists be without it?
2. Car pulling up, guy(s) popping out in slomo, smacking lips/rubbing hands/hi-fiving
3. Video hos. Lots of video hos gyrating.
4. A nice house, drinks, girls, booty shaking
5. whacked lyrics about loving the girl, having money & spending it
6. dollars. lots of dollars
7. rinse and repeat
8. profit!

Verdict: Meh.

Makes one quite blase about the whole thing.

SkinnyDude:
thanks to signature2012 for the inspiration...'

I just remembered how i was duped by one of these thieves outside 'Emeka offor' plaza... those around Anambra state will be familiar with this plaza..


So, i was in ss1, february 2010, when this happened..last December, 2009. Our mum gave us, my sisters and i money to buy new xmas cloth... mine was 6k. my sisters bought new cloth and shoes, except me. i bought phone with it instead. Nokia 6200 @4,500. memory card 1gig @1,000. then t.fee N500....


I started enjoying my new phone.. fast forward to 2010. the phone started disturbing. From flex problem to virus.. I was flashing it every week. i wasnt happy again. i felt depressed. I later made up my mind to sell the phone and get another one. but the problem was 'who is going to buy it'. an idea came. counter balance. thats the only option i had.

So on the d-day. i embarked on the journey with 2k. when i got to emeka offor. as usual "guy counter ballance or memory?"
i ignored those guys... went straight to one of the quarters beside the main plaza.. i approach a young guy near a show case... i told him what i came for, and he said 'you are at the right place... we started negotiating. at last, i gave him my phone, memory card and the 2k for one old symbian phone.. they call it nokia egg.. i was happy, atleast i have disposed this troublemaker. i thought i have cheated the guy... when i got home. I was so happy. charged the phne up.


Time to enjoy my new phone... after 20 mins of Pressing it.. "kpu kpu". what! battery empty. the phone was very hot. i charged it again, and same thing happened...ghen ghen...

I didnt know what to do...to cut the story short... i went there tomorrow morning, since i have spent my money and couldnt ask my mum for another cash...i went with little cash.. when i got ther the guy was telling me diferent story...that the phone is bigger than the battery.... "guy this ur phone no good. give me my phone and cash bk. "
He laughed, hahaha...and ordered me out of his shop.. i couldnt fight. i told his neighbour to help me beg him. he ignored.....


I left, heartbroken and in tears... no cash to board a bus.. i tried selling the phone there...but those wicked guys priced it 500...
over my dead body... i cant sell it that amount.. i trekked home... 2hours journey... Onitsha to Umusiome-Nkpor

From Main market to Umusiome nkpor? Hahahahaha ,oboy dis one na die ,u 4 kukuma sell d phone 5hundred use am 4 transport ,before u go from main market reach upper iweka sef ,ur handkerchief go don soal wit heat ,dat 1 na if u get handki den ,but u get mind o ,carry ur xmas money go but phone ,odas go dey flex 4 xmas ,u go dey press phone ,nawa o.

^^^Please tell me you're joking! undecided

You mean if you return a faulty product back to where you bought it you run the risk of getting beaten up for your troubles!?

Am telling you. They can even flog you and they are usually hefty

Funny cases here but good enough, I've never experienced this. I used to patronise Emeka Offor when i was staying around Oguta road but visits that plaza at Nkpor just by the overhead bridge along the express and close to Diamond bank since i moved. Onitsha is not for the faint hearted, even computer village guys no fit get mouth for Emeka Offor.
Guys scared of Emeka Offor can go to that plaza at Nkpor, safer, smaller but you get virtually everything you need.

unless you are a soldier or knows one
you cant fight them....if you engage one in a fight, another guy beside will deliberately scatter his shop and even pull down his laptop and you MUST pay for all the damage he might claim cos fighting is not allowed there
