donproject: Stereotping a whole tribe because of your experience with a few says alot about your myopic outlook. The entire Germanic nation should be annihilated because of Hitler right? The entire British empire should be destroyed because of the crimes against humanity that the colonial officers committed against every nation they colonised including Nigeria, South Africa, China, America prior to the American civil war. The entire Belgian empire should be wiped off the face of the earth because of the crimes that King Leopold committed against the People of Congo baaa Don't be immature with your reasoning 3 Likes |

mabeni:I was just trying to tell you that the handwriting was on the wall, they were going to find a way to rob you in broad-day light , yet you trusted them way too much, you even went out to withdraw or so. Things happen in seconds not to talk of minutes, better luck next time. |

To avoid stories like this, always go to well known shops and avoid buying second hand products. |

Didn't you read the instructions the package that tells you more about this what you were buying before you paid for it? Nigerian businesses are unregulated and institutions are unregulated, a scrupulous people can take sanity into their hands. Even the judiciary is unregulated in Nigeria. No rules, no policies, no guidance, no standard, no law, and no order. 1 Like |

2cribz: This is my problem with an average Nigerians. We stylish encourage fraudulent act. What is bad is bad. Nothing is wrong if the guy price it at 10kobo, all the seller needs to do is to tell the guy no. Is that simple, saying guy why youself go buy H.T for 25k is wrong, that is what he has, if the seller is not comfortable he should reject the offer and say "oga e no gree 25k, plz buy from me you no go see am buy at that price". It is that simple. I have been a victim in 2008 and I promised myself not to enter Alaba to buy not even a stone. Guy , what is wrong is wrong 7 Likes |

gypsey:No one should be scammed but people keep getting scammed on daily basis. If I asked you to invest 50k and get 150k after one week, will you do it? Don't worry I know your answer. Bottom line is, if it sounds too good a deal, exercise utmost caution! Victims of such scams usually have one thing in common. Enough said. 2 Likes |

uvie66: Oga keep your tribalistic mouth shut! I WAS PLAYED THE SAME GAME! MINE WAS EVEN 50" TV SAMSUNG THE ROOKIE EVEN TOOK ME TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS SELLING TOKUMBO VERSION OF SAME TV I CAME TO BUY BRAND NEW AND HE CONVINCED ME TO BUY TOKUMBO AT VERY LOW PRICE. THE STORY LONG SHA - I EVEN ONCE WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE HERE BUT LAZINESS NEVER ALLOWED ME. I LOST 75K TO THEM IN SIMILAR GAME OF GIVING ME RECEIPT AND AFTER I MADE TRANSFER THE OGA LEFT AND THE BOY START CODING ME BY TELLING ME THE PROBLEM WITH THE TV THAT I DID NOT NOTICE. LAST LAST SHA! I LEFT THE TV FOR THEM AND GO. ALL OF THEM ARE YORUBAS AND THEY ARE ALL SAME GANG FROM THE FIRST SHOP THE IDIOT TOOK ME TO, TILL THE LAST ONE. AND THE FUNNY THING IS - ALL THE SURROUNDING SHOPS KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT ARE AFRAID TO CONFRONT THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL CULTISTS. one guy i told about my experience in alaba there even told me they have killed some shop owners for trying to expose them to the public - he went further to tell me that the chairman of the alaba market gan is in the same cult with them and they always settle police thats why no police will follow you to the market to make any arrest. THEY ARE SO MUCH IN ALABA, COMPUTER VILLAGE AND BALOGUN MARKET OPERATING SHOPS JUST TO SCAM PEOPLE AND NO BODY IS ARRESTING THEM. 2 Likes |

Boscolo:The world isn't an ideal place. It's a real world! There'll always be fraudsters! Even in holy places. And getting angry won't stop the next victim from being scammed. People hack systems and siphon huge amounts of money- police and law enforcements are ever ready to protect them. That's REAL world for you. However, we need to always try to be one step ahead of them. Be street wise. Most importantly, if it's too good to be true, my man, by all means, japa. |

Same thing happens to me 2013 ...just newly finished NYSC ,so I needed relocation for job stuff...one of brother built his house around agbara area but before he built his house ,he rented a room selfcom around lasu gate...where he told me to stay n continue the rent bill....so I need a sound system at 20k. Lasu gate to Alaba market isn't that far, so I went there buy and about to leave, so I thought of going to buy a polythene to put it...before a came back they have actually removed LG logo to another Sound system. Them said I fit change it...I leave without the system but with receipt. On getting to my bus top, some area guys ( agberos) that usually disturb me for evening adult education saw me hailing me corper! Corper!! We don go buy book and pen oo...this evening we must sabi speak English like wole Soyinka...as I no smile or laugh..they as me wetin happen, I said they scam me for Alaba... They ask of the Shop or Lane... I just give them the receipt... 5hours later...the original LG UK was brought to me 12 Likes |

2cribz: Home theater when I buy 70k in 2011. Lol. Cheap things na him dey kill us for naija. I will never buy used in this country. I can never want something to that extent except na motor. Instead take a loan and go and buy original new from a reputable dealer. If you're a monthly earner you can spread the cost over 1 year and enjoy your shit. Penny wise pound foolish. Alaba of all places |

SEGLIZ: You spoke out my mind. I have been a crusader of this point for years. The people are the problem. Our day to day life on the streets isn't different from what is happening at the top. But Hyposrisy won't allow us take responsibility. You know my pain? All of them will go to mass on Sunday morning and drop offerings from the cursed money. The preachers sometimes won't even preach against such. 5 Likes |
