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.

Next time, unbox and place the phone in your pocket before you pay. DO NOT place it back in the box

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

God bless you for this information, thought of coming up with a write up about Banex plaza. Was there on Thursday last week when I purchased Samsung A35, the guys there almost Robed me of my purse(wallet) if not the Eagle eye of my wife. Coupled she was born and raised in Lagos. Had I known would've being my name cause all my documents Atm where inside .the lady brought out the phone i told her i need to switch on and confirm the functions of the phone she is a dummy i need to pay before she would bring out the real one from the store for me to confirm functionality. I left her to buy in another shop. But always avoid those road side guys

Re: What Happened After I Bought Nokia 6300 At Wuse Market by aikyg(m): 9:46am On May 18
Our problem in Nigeria is that we prefer self help instead of reporting to the police and getting a lawyer. Since you have the pack and the phone, all you need to do the moment the man refuses to change the phone is to report him to the police and then follow it up with a letter from a lawyer. He'll be the one begging you to come and collect your money. You were clearly cheated by the phone seller and he did that because he thought he could get away with it. Just use him as an example!

He is lying, first of all he didn’t buy that phone from Banex Plaza, he actually bought it from Wuse Market as he said and Wuse market is known for selling Cloned phones including iPhone at very low prizes.

Banex Plaza is well organised and you can report to the management if you feel cheated and you bought a phone from any of its shop and not roadside hawkers

If you want a high end phone model and you can't afford the money you go to Wuse market and you can buy 'iPhone 15' for N50k. it looks every inch like iPhone 15 but only you know what you are holding.

When you go anywhere they sell gadgets in Nigeria and they see that you don't know much about what you want, there is 80% probability that you will be cheated or scammed.

Go to computer village in Lagos
Go to GSM village or Banex in Abuja
Go to terminus market in Jos
Go to farm village in Kano
Go to Challenge in Ilorin
Go to Garrison tech cluster in PH
Go to GSM village Aba.
Just to mention a few

Anywhere you see those so called tech boys they are always cheating unsuspecting and non tech savvy customers.
Carry your phone say u wan sell Dem go price your phone and downgrade it even you wey wan sell phone go dey cry for your phone, but try and price same phone from them they will so hype it and call a very huge price.
