She Asked Him To Pay For The Phone, Is It Ok? by chocolateme(f): 9:45am On Jan 31, 2016 |
About four months ago, she gave him her screen broken phone to help her repair as she doesn't know any trusted phone engineer to do it for her. The phone in question is HTC M8. So this colleague of mine (a guy) took the phone for repair and the screen price was 23k plus, he informed her and she said its much that she would prefer selling the phone. The engineer said he will pay 55k and substract 23k for the screen and balance her the rest claimingthat naturally she is supposed to repair the screen before selling it. She declined implying that 32k is too small for it judging the amount she bought the phone. So the issue became for her to come and collect her phone from this guy (he said they became friends via meeting her at the office) She kept postponing going to collect her phone frome him with no chance excuses till 4 weeks ago. We had a security problem at the office and some of the glass doors were broken, this guy said he has to take the phone home to avoid been stolen as he has dropped the phone in a desk drawer all these while. The devil implicated him on the way home as the phone fell off from his pocket from the Maruwa he entered and that's where the main issue started. She is demanding for 70k in payment for the lost phone and has involved her brother who is threatening him with police arrest. He opted to buy a second handed fairly used which he already priced and its around 45k plus. heard he has been asked to pay 50k. I am just saying personaly that she should have reduced the amount to half of what she is asking but maybe she is right though. |

The girl just want to use the opportunity to explore the engineer. Op does she insist on having new one?? If I happens to be the engineer I will buy another one and break the screen so she can go repair it somewhere else. 8 Likes |

So you came here to disguise it's your friend, after obligating me to pay for the phone. I understood, you're trying so hard to avoid E-bashing. 6 Likes |

Cutehector: ![]() ![]() Your comment is hilarious. OP, seeing the above comments are you the recipient of this issue? I think an amicable solution can be gotten. Let the guy who misplaced the device get a fairly used device for her and let the girl be grateful for it. She was the one who stalled severally in picking the device up. A new M8 is very expensive and the screen as well. |

This is why it is difficult to get help from people when you need it. @Op, tell the guy to buy a London used phone for her, same specs, color and all, the let him take the phone to engineers around there; they will buy the new screen from him and give a broken one. Let the ingrate go and fix it herself. 5 Likes |

Well, if the guy is a vengeful guy, he could get her a new M8 and break the screen. Problem solved! ![]() The guy would be really cheated to get her a perfectly working phone. The girl should have handled It cautiously without being ill mannered. Money isn't everything. |

It's a complicated issue. It's a lose lose thing for the engineer. If he gets a working used phone, he would part away with 45 plus. If he gets a new phone and breaks it's screen then he wld part away from 70k plus. Chai!! This kinda girl na real bad luck. Hw much does the engineer makes sef?? If you ask me ehn, just look online and find the cheapest M8 for her. Aome broke niggas sell stuffs at give away prices But be careful oo |

A pitiable case of good intentions turning into a complex case of regret..... If the lady in question as any conscience whatsoever then she should calm down and lower her demands as regards the phone. |

How are we even sure the phone truly got lost, the engineer could be trying to play a fast one on the girl. Thinking since she has not bothered to come and collect the phone, that he could cucuma cook up a story and keep the phone to him self. Haven said that.. I think he should pay whatever the girl ask him to pay, after that he should adopt a code of conduct that mandates owners to come for their phones within 2weeks or OYO if anything should happen to their phones. |

He would learn from this and direct people the next time and not take personal interest!!!!! NB: Not unless he had personal interest in the affairs between her legs and the fruit plucking at the top of her chest!!! |

That m8 phone itself is a witch, i can recall the countless time this overly slippery phone has slipped out my pocket, lost it in a maruwa once... Thank God the Keke man was nice enough to return it. Bro... Just be a man and sort the mess, you sure will make more cheese Than this but never forget this day...never ever act a fool again. Truth is, if it was the other way round, they'd beg you to forget it. 2 Likes 1 Share |
