First off, which uncle u say turn butty to computer village hawker? And ur pics don’t really indicate the changed phone.

Every market has criminals, but I understand that there is a bullseye painted on computer village done to increase the volume of cries against crimes there for purely political reasons that will be clearer as 2023 inches closer.

Take heart my dear if it’s really an uncle and not an oncūlū from abroad that sent u on the errand or paid u for service rendered with a phone.

I was a victim of this criminals in 2012 grin
My cousin and I wanted to swap blackberry curve 6 or so for Bold 5( bold 5 Dey hot that time).
We also had 11 thousand naira with us.
These road side guys gave us scrap phone and took our money too.
We later got the our curve 6 back but the money was gone. In fact they told us that we can never get the money back.

I later worked there and I know most of their tricks
Never patronize those roadside guys, 98% of the time, you’ll be dubbed or sold fake.


90% of the time, you can catch the criminal but most people don’t know grin
Computer village have a group of criminals that help in catching criminals cheesy
If you fall victim, don’t report to that police station there oo
Just ask of the vigilante group. All they need is for you to describe the person, the place the transaction took place and the faces you recognize around the place. Pay them small money and give them like 3 days and you’d be shocked how they will catch the exact person that stole your money or phone.

You mean Vigilante smart than Police shocked

To avoid story that touches the heart.

Never look for how to buy expensive gadgets at a cheaper price in computer village. For example, you know that this phone cost #300,000 in slot buy you wan buy am for #40,000 . Sorry is your case

Avoid buying fairly used phones if possible but, if you must buy from a trusted person. Someone you know. Not all these boys hanging around.

If you must sell a gadget don't do it yourself. Make sure you have a trusted contact there. Don't go and stand by the road side looking for buyer. Dem go dupe you.

Lucky you!

I've had some bad experiences there. I remember the first day I went there. Just before Ikeja under bridge, a guy approached me. He wanted to sell his BB Bold 5, my eyes fell - though I was smart as hell, and it was cheap. We bargained and I paid. On getting to under bridge, he came by again for his SIM and requested to eject it and also reset the phone. I gave him. All of a sudden he asked us to go to a particular place under bridge (where you get Ojota bus); he gave me back my money and was like 'hurry up, I don't want Police to suspect I'm doing dirty deal'. On getting to the particular place, like magic, he was no where to be found. I searched everywhere, including under the parked buses. I've never been s surprised, it was a matter of few seconds.

I cleared him off my mind thinking he ran away because of the 'Police' thing, not knowing he has duped me. When I brought out the cash he returned for counting, I almost fainted by what I saw - bunch of newspapers neatly trimmed and wrapped up with N200 note. I almost fainted. Yep I gave him an extra N200 for t-fare which he requested and the wrapped newspapers looked like N1000 notes when he gave me back. I returned home that day without fulfilling my aim. I thought I was smart and I've always laughed Ikeja victims but I joined the league that day.

Nyamiri people have destroyed computer village, with all their atrocities... From selling fake things and so on..

You’ll approach to buy anything from a shop. The next thing 2-3 guys don show. They’ll disguise as shop owner but no be them get shop. They’ll sell you fake things and run, you’ll return to complain to discover they don’t even work nor own shops.

I personally believe the shop owners are always involving all these atrocities. Of course they’ll be getting a certain percentage off each transaction..

Computer village is a very great market, but the yeeboz have destroyed it above average and if something isn’t done about this, they’ll wreck it and leave to another location. That’s how they usually DO!

I thought as much
I have been frequenting computer village for years and never encountered or experienced any hanky hanky.
People come up with all kinds of outlandish stories to gain social media engagement for whatever reason(maybe political as you say,since some people have nothing else to do with their worthless lives than try to reap where they did not sow)
I.noticed that one creature here has already tribalised the matter.Such primitive minds that can never progress.
Welcome to the social media age
Noone knows if this story is real or fake or whether the woman wants to provoke sympathy cash flow
We will never know

It's really the devil's workshop.

Those days in Port Harcourt (Garrison) its a like phone/computer village.
it happened to me, I went to sell blackberry bold 2 for 45k, I don't know what happened, but I found myself shouting for help and looking for the supposed buyer of the phone. Luckily I recognised the face of the guy.

I couldn't eat throughout that day, so I went to Garrison the next day, and paid police to help me standby for a week at Garrison (Garrison became my second home)

After few days the idiot came to Garrison, immediately I saw him, I alerted the police who pounced on him.

The guy don sell the phone since, so I got part my money back.
So anytime I enter there, na to shine my eyes too. And don't follow anyone to any hideout to price phone. Infact. Go with 2 or 3 persons. Close to a bank or eatery sef.
man, I have bad memories from that place!

But reaching home, I went through the phone, I realized that it's an inmitation.

Guy! No dey talk dat wan. Even though you are smart as you claim, there are people who are smarter than you are. I have a friend who swore that he would never be duped by fraudsters because he was too smart. Believe you me that he was duped by a Kanuri man in Maiduguri. Je was so ashamed of himself. He was like "Ah! Aboki man duped me!" Just pray you shouldn't fall victim.

I don't know or care about this your story. How do you know that a particular market has loads of scammers, you go there to sell your phone and still get scammed?
