Hello NL's i really don't know where to post this. but i think the mods should be able to help me with the right location.

This happened to me yesterday 23/05/2016........Ok i happen to have a samsung s4 phone which i planned to swap because of the following issues, bluetooth nd wifi not working, charging port works but instead of charging the phone would be discharging,cos of this, i have to use a desktop to charge, also its boils like hell!, faulty touchpad, little bit cracked screen, all the air gestures are not working, and extremely faulty to the core, with all this problems, my plan was not to spend a dime on the phone again cos have spent quite alot on trial and error engineers(abt 15k) cn u imagine? ....having heard of all what computer villa guys do to people i set out yesterday, to be on a safer side i had it in mind that when i get there i would try and locate a 'jolly just come' in CV that does swap (judging by face sha)with a mind set that i was gonna "chop hin eye" with a phone swap. of course,i was not planning to tell them all the problems it had,(having it in mind that they won't discover all no matter what)......(me sef won form smart)......of course i smart na!...... not knowing that its my own eye tha'ts gonna be 'chopped'. on getting to CV, as usual i met those guys at the entrance, after checking out the one i wanted transact business with.i told him what i wanted, I.E a samsung s5 which i was planning to swap with my s4.

After checking the phone normally, He only noticed like half of the problems.... (maybe cos of the mischief he himself was up to)....he confirmed that he did not have an s5 and that even if i get i would have to part away with alot of money b4 i can aquire it cos of the condition of my phone..... well i did't have much on me so i thought of opting for something lesser.........seeing this, he then brought out a BBZ10, along the line i got interested, tho the phone looked ok.it had some deep shit within which i didn't easily locate wen checkin, maybe its cos of the condition of my phone i didn't check well sha,i don't really know.Though i wanted to take the phone to an engineer to check if there was anything wrong with it, i forgot, maybe this was because of what i had up on my sleeves or his juju was more powerful.....i dont really know....after arguing and debating we agreed to make the swap with "my almost dead s4",balancing him with some money. thinking av outsmarted in my way i hopped off happily........

On putting my "mtn" sim in the phone in another shop where i do get battries i noticed the phone was bringing out "glo" network..... ah mogbe! that was only the beginning....as there was still more to come, extending my check, i opened the back of the phone to check what was wrong, as i did that, about 3 bolts fell out.... yeeeh! aH! na so i won dey cry......giving the phone to another person to check it out, i was told that av been sold a total scrap! omo wetin i fit do? nothing o! cos me sef i know the phone i bin give the guy too sef na problem phone....but i checked this phone nw, i didnt notice anything, he even had a missed call b4 i collected it..... so how come e dey see alien network?.....na who i go aski o?....... the thing wey pain me pass na the raba wey i give ham,,, i wont mention the amount at all cos e still dey pain me........... chai! my hard earned savings!.....
Well my main aim of this post is to tell the public to be VERY careful of this guys in CV, most especially those that don't know about their antiques....tho av bin hearing of their pranks, i believed i would never be a victim of it..... please take extra caution whenever you are in CV, anytime you have to go there you can go with som1 experienced and dont ever do any business with those roadside boys... none of them are to be trusted!.....its better you save up and buy a good cheap phone than having yourself duped.......if you have any experience to share pls do so that people can get more insights on being extremely careful in CV.

I had a transaction wit someone in computa villa and the laptop I bought is still working fine so...


It just a matter of who u really knw in there. Cuz I called someone and he referred me to the dude. So the dude didn't hav to try rubbish cuz i'm from someone he knws...



So I encourage anyone who wishes to do any business there is always hav a trusted person before u enter there.

Kpele. Welcome to computer village

Referral is key

First rule to take note of when going to the villa, do not do business with those roadside guys. I repeat: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THOSE ROADSIDE GUYS!!! Walk into a shop and transact. A word is enough for the wise. Dem no fit scam me sef. By the time you tell them say na from streets you sef dey come from...

very true

So sorry.

The Hunter has become the hunted. Moral of this story don't try to cheat ppl later , sooner or instantly karma would catch up with parties involved. Lessons learnt

OK first of all, Don't transact with the roadside boys.

If you must do (like me, especially on days I just wanna catch fun) ensure you have nothing valuable on you (too much cash, ATM card, phones etc)

Ensure the transaction begins and end in the open street (don't go behind vehicles with them) and whenever they give you a phone that you like, don't you ever, EVER EVER, return the phone to the seller. You return the phone and you have been duped successfully.
Even if they want to remove their sim cards from the phone, save them the stress by removing it for them

Forget there fear-imposing talks, all na shakara.

I sometimes buy stuffs on the street but most times, they'll leave me cuz I'm not "dupe-able"

P.S
Its best you just walk into dealers store and shop with peace of mind.

Kindly pardon my typo errors.

There are reputable shops/traders in Computer Village but there are a lot of touts who pose as shop attendants looking to cheat people as well.

If there's one shopping area that needs to be turned into an organized mall, it's Computer Village. They need to do something to keep the touts out.

I have been tinking of swapping my S4 at Computer village. I tink its better to go and throw it away than to swap it with yeye phone.

A typical example of when "A hunter got hunted" !

@legendarybeans I hail ooo... Na u cook d beans Na u still chop pass!!!

CV is a replica of Fayose Market here. This place is safe cos u can easily arrest any fraudster here. GUYS here dnt try rubbish...it's a b.usiness of buy and sell

My experience is one I can never forget.
While still serving, I saved up to get a Blackberry Q5.
I had helped one other person buy and I insisted to the person NEVER to go to computer village but instead to go to a shop. I ensured the person spent extra money in getting the Q5 from a major dealer than from a shop in computer village.
Time to buy my own, I rehearsed every possible outcome. I have never been scammed in all my life and that day wasn't gonna be the first......or so I thought.
I entered major dealers shops with the intention of knowing the exact price of the phone.
What made me enter this shop I will never know. Saw a red Q5 on the table and asked how much it was, they told me and I found out it was about three thousand naira cheaper..........(Brunel three thousand naira cheaper, smh) than the official brand new price in the popular major dealers.
I tested EVERYTHING!!!! every key, every setting, I set up the phone in the shop, charged it up, transferred data with bluetooth, made and received calls, sms......every single thing (I'm sure of this because I had a check list).
After every check, I walked gallantly holding tight to my new investment, the proof to show my alawi savings.
My brothers and sisters, the next day I wan type, I press letter 'v' na 'g' I see. I noticed that the same issue happened with letters 'x,c,b and alt' .......because I had the receipt of the phone as proof of payment and an audio recording I went back to the shop and my ordeal began. I was turned left, right and centre, the man I met even accused me of dropping the phone in water and that I damaged it, I had to show him my old phone that had a broken screen but I still used it. Long and short story, currently I have the fufu sorry phone as a reminder in my museum never to buy from computer village again.
That place is full of fraudsters, it's sad.
*wiping my tears......console me not!!*

Yes lots of good things come from computer village.

Its only a criminal like the op that will go about patronizing street boys.

The Op is lucky he wasn't arrested by plane cloth policemen on the street.

Being doing business in Otigba for 8 years, I have never been duped, because I do business with reputable shop owners.

lolsssss... CV na one kine place... Fear computer village...

Computer Village Dey Worry
