Wakanow Is A Scam by Jidemartins(m): 3:46pm On Feb 22, 2022
I booked for a flight tickect to travel down to UK on the 14th of December 2021 and along the line, the purpose of travelling was cancelled. Based on this I cancelled the ticket same day on the evening.

I initiated a refund and which was confirmed and told it will take at most 3 - 8 weeks, but for payment to be made, it's taking forever.

I have been calling their customer service support consistently and following up vai emails yet no response. The most annoying part of it was that I booked the flight at a price of 486,822 and they are offering me 278,808 still yet they are deceiving themselves because I am tired of the whole thing.

To give update on mail is a problem, its only when I call they will remember to send a mail that is if they wish too.


I will be glad if someone can help me with a direct contact most especially their account section in other to enquire what they re doing with my money.

Maybe pay the office a visit. Most Nigerian companies may not take action until…


If you don’t get it, forget about it

Why would you accept anything less than what you paid for? Nigerians are so gullible and weak.

Oga go there office on Allen and create a scenario. Dont damage anything but make sure you stop their operations through decisive actions.

Go on Facebook live and tell your story while in their office. Be shouting they are scammers.

Cooperate entities in Nigeria hate bad publicity. They want to be scamming in peace.

True. Go peacefully... get the names of those in charge ... the ones you speak to... their names as well before you explode. Threaten to let the whole wide world know they are scammers ... settle for the full refund you must receive before you leave or else whatever happen to them personally... they shouldn't blame you again. Raise the matter on radio or TV.... call in... name names and what they said.

It happened to me and my friend too. We booked a return ticket to Dubai in 2020 which got cancelled coz of COVID pandemic. We were told to reschedule or request for a refund but we opted for the refund option. After several mails and calls, nothing has been done up til this moment. Wakanow is a Big fraud!

How were you able to resolve this? Did you get your refund value from Wakanow? I am in the same situation. Asked for a refund since May 15 but haven’t received any response from the team. It’s going on it’s 10th weeks since refund was initiated. What do you advise should be done, considering that I am not in Nigeria?

Wakanow ......I have never had issues with buying flight tickets from them and my relatives since 2021,but never had a flight cancelled so can't call them a scam. Just follow a legit way to get back your refund.
