Sincerely, I thought of doing that initially, but I think Abuja has found a way to soften me. It's just 40k we move. But the shameful part is how someone like me, who grew up in Ikeja, allows myself to fall for this cheap scam.  Thanks

Reach out to FCCPC Abuja. Go online, submit your complaint. It will get a response and your case will be treated justly. Kindly keep the purchase receipt

This was the original headline "Beware: The Nokia 6300 Scam – A Lesson Learned the Hard Way" . I guess the admin did, and now I can't modify it for reasons I do not know. It happened at Bannex Plaza.

"Note: he said if something is too good to be true, then it is. Which means he bought it cheaper below the real price thinking that he has got a better deal. I wouldn't do that." This statement isn't about the price because i actually bought at the market price which is 40k. Instinct.
maasoap:


Lol. I don't remember ever verifying the phones specs beyond what is written on the box before I made payments. Why would I do that? If what I found inside the box is different from what the box says, then the seller has to refund me or change the product because he's or she's the one at fault. We're talking about specs, something that's embedded within the phones hardware and software. I had to get home first before settling down to check it one after the other.

Note: he said if something is too good to be true, then it is. Which means he bought it cheaper below the real price thinking that he has got a better deal. I wouldn't do that.

If an operating system stops receiving updates, does that mean it's dead? I am not here to teach you tech stuff for free. Windows 7 and Windows 8 have stopped receiving updates, but does that mean there are still people who don't use them? If you have the original, I would like to purchase it from you.

I bought a cloned Nokia 6300 from a shop owner at Bannex plaza not a road side seller. I suspect you are one of them.

He can't go there because he bought a cloned Nokia from the roadside in Wuse market then lied he bought it in Banex Plaza.

Phones / Re: What Happened After I Bought Nokia 6300 At Wuse Market by Flana: 2:31pm On May 20
I didn't buy from a road seller. I actually buy from a shop. You were not there, and you are free to say whatever you like, but I still insist that all the Nokia 6300 in Bannex are cloned versions, not originals.
GloriousGbola:


Buy from slot or recognized outlets that have a reputation to protect, not from corner corner hustlers.

This is even more important when you are buying the phone brand new

How much is the Nokia 6300 and what did you think you would save by buying it from a road side seller vs slot? 1 to 2k max. It may even be cheaper.

Na you do yourself.

You will never be able to check all the features and the seller will be hurrying you because he knows there is a window within which you must buy the phone

Edit accordingly to other posters you are just a karma farmer who has made up a story for your rubbish blog
Phones / What Happened After I Bought Nokia 6300 At Wuse Market by Flana: 5:23pm On May 17
When it comes to purchasing a new phone, we expect it to fulfill all the functions promised in the box. However, a recent encounter with a phone seller left me frustrated and disillusioned. I had been eyeing the Nokia 6300, a classic model known for its durability and simplicity, perfect for those who prefer a reliable phone without all the bells and whistles of modern smartphones.

So, I went to the market and stumbled upon a seller selling the Nokia 6300 at Wuze Market, old Bannex Plaza. Excitedly, I made the purchase, eager to experience the nostalgia of using a beloved classic.

However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment when I realized that the phone I had received was not what I expected. Despite the box claiming that it was a 4G phone with WhatsApp functionality and Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, the phone I received lacked these essential features, including the absence of Kai OS.

Feeling cheated and frustrated, I reached out to the seller, only to be met with excuses and denials. It became apparent that I had fallen victim to a scam—a counterfeit Nokia 6300 sold under false pretenses.

Reflecting on this experience, I realized the importance of being vigilant when making purchases, especially when it comes to mobile phones, at Bannex Plaza, either from the shop or along the road. Here are a few lessons I learned that I hope can help others avoid similar pitfalls:

Verify the Features: Before making any purchase, especially of mobile phones, always verify that the product you are buying has all the features you expect. In the case of the Nokia 6300, ensure that it is indeed a 4G phone with WhatsApp functionality, Wi-Fi, and hotspot capabilities. Please take all the time needed to verify those.

Check Before Paying: Don’t be afraid to inspect the product thoroughly before making a payment. Test the functions, ask questions, and ensure everything matches what was promised.

Ask Questions:If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Ask the seller plenty of questions to clarify any doubts you may have about the product.

In conclusion, the seller refused to change it or refund my money. A lot of us love to see change in this country, but no one is ready to do the right thing.

Food / Savoring Nigeria's Culinary Jewel: The Irresistible Delight Of Isi-ewu by Flana: 12:33pm On Jan 25
Nigeria, a vibrant tapestry of cultures and traditions, is a land that tantalizes the senses with its rich and diverse culinary heritage. Among the myriad of flavors that dance across the palate, one dish stands out as a true emblem of Nigerian gastronomy – Isi-Ewu. This culinary masterpiece, born from the heart of the Igbo culture, is a celebration of flavor, tradition, and communal joy.

Isi-Ewu, translated as "goat head" in English, is a dish that transcends the boundaries of ordinary meals. It is a cultural treasure that symbolizes unity and festivity. At the heart of this dish is the goat head, simmered to perfection in a broth infused with an array of aromatic spices and herbs. The result is a succulent and tender meat, delicately flavored with a symphony of spices that awaken the taste buds.

The preparation of Isi-Ewu is a ritual in itself, a labor of love passed down through generations. The goat head is meticulously cleaned, then seasoned with a blend of indigenous spices such as utazi leaves, uziza seeds, and crayfish. The dish is then slow-cooked until the meat is so tender it effortlessly falls off the bone. The magic, however, lies not only in the ingredients but also in the communal spirit that surrounds the preparation. Isi-Ewu is often prepared during festive occasions, bringing family and friends together in a shared culinary experience.

As the pot of Isi-Ewu simmers, a tantalizing aroma wafts through the air, beckoning all in its proximity to partake in the feast. The dish is traditionally served in a communal bowl, inviting a sense of togetherness and shared joy. Diners gather around, their fingers deftly navigating the succulent pieces of goat head, relishing in the flavorful broth that bathes each morsel. It's a culinary adventure that engages not only the taste buds but also the spirit, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

Isi-Ewu is more than just a meal; it is a cultural expression, a testament to the richness of Nigeria's culinary heritage. Each bite is a journey through the traditions of the Igbo people, a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural identity. The dish encapsulates the essence of Nigerian hospitality, where a meal is not just sustenance but a gesture of warmth and camaraderie.

In a world where culinary trends come and go, Isi-Ewu stands as a timeless masterpiece, a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the ability of food to weave together the fabric of a nation. As you savor the delicate flavors of Isi-Ewu, you're not just indulging in a dish; you're partaking in a cultural symphony that has echoed through the ages, a celebration of Nigeria's rich tapestry of tastes, textures, and traditions.

Nairaland / General / Cat Meowing Scares Me. by Flana: 4:24am On Jan 14, 2023
I have never liked pets, especially cats, but I don't hate them for reasons I know of, especially the presence of a cat, which scares me to death. For some time now, I have been seeing cats in my compound, sometimes by my doorstep or by the side of my window in the night. Now the cats have turned it into a ritual to always surveil my compound. So this morning when I woke up around 3 am, I started hearing the cat meowing by my window side close to my bed, but it ran away immediately after I turned on the light and closed the window. Since that time, I couldn't sleep again, and I was so confused about what to do next. whether I should set a trap for the cats and start killing them one by one. i leave in an estate and i noticed most house on my close and behind me have cat. Please i need help before taking any step because the only thing on my mind right now is to start killing them cats one after the other until they stop coming to my compound.
Health / Re: How Can I Quit Smoking Cigarettes? by Flana: 6:20am On Jan 03, 2023
This is really insightful. You are right—it's the evil nicotine that's the addiction here. I once smoked a Cuban cigar, which is made out of pure tobacco without nicotine. No one urged me to stop because I didn't feel any excitement while smoking it, and moreover, it's kind of expensive. Thank you.
Originalsly:
Someone said ... cold turkey. You have to make up your mind to do so and battle through the withdrawal pains...... and strong temptations to relapse. Many smokers arriving here in NY quit by force.... $17 minimum per pack...... sold by packs only legally.... or minimum 50 cents per stick under the counter... if the shopkeeper believes you're not undercover Police or DEA.... and you habe to be 21 or over to bug cigarettes.... or alcohol. The addiction is not really the tobacco.... but the nicotine added to it. If you choose to use "the patch"... then you would not be craving to smoke since the patch releases nicotine into your body via the skin and the addiction continues but from a different source. Why not start today.... there's no magic bullet.

Education / Where To Collect My WAEC Certificate by Flana: 7:45am On Oct 24, 2022
Good day Naira landers. In the year 2002, I wrote both NECO and WAEC exams before leaving government secondary science school in OYO southwest in 2002. At that time, some of our WAEC results weren't released, but my NECO result was, so I didn't bother to go back and ask if it was later released. I know I want to have it, but I don't know where to go to get it. If I should go and request it at my former secondary school or from the ministry of education, And I also want to get the original certificate of my NECO result because I only have the statement of result. Any help on how to go about it will be appreciated. Thanks

Here is the copy of my NECO statement of result
