diordaves: Very valid points. Its a choice between two evils, each one with its pros and cons. I guess "the environment" where one lives, will determine whether one has a high or low see-through fence Most people will agree that the type of criminals we have now and the selfishness of neighbours, you dont expect them to show-face when you shout Thief! Thief!! So, not much benefit from letting them see-through your fence. And you cant really blame them, they are not armed. On the other hand, "Evans" could just be passing-by 'innocently', when your Son just landed from Amelika and offloading....... you know the rest of the story 6 Likes |

diordaves: Yes we did debate the pros and cons. Nothing is truly burglar proof to a determined robber but any robber that is behind my fence will be playing with other several layers of defense including two packs of Doberman Pinchers. Sure they can shoot 4 dogs but any robber who came prepared to gun down 4 protective dogs is going to do the job fence or not. My fence is primarily to keep me and my stuffs from harming others. This is why I won't use electric fence. Let's be certain that the perimeter has truly been violated then all bets are off. Even here in the US, I have the highest fences allowed by code all around my premises. 1 Like |

mufutau55:This is just the tip of the iceberg. One out of several dozens. E be like say the importer no "do normal" ..because the scale of cloning right now is unprecedented. It's an open scandal. It used to be unbranded or a subpar brand of Cables shipped here and then recoiled and repackaged as popular local brands...But now, the game has changed..... They brand the cables all the way from China (complete with engravings and all) and offload in secret warehouses, then start to move them into the market in bits ( if you settle the market Union). Many sellers are smiling to the bank. |

mufutau55: There are alot of fake cables in the market now. Some importers have taken advantage of recession to bring in so many fake materials to Nigeria market. Only that can save us. Best is to buy from distributor. |

topsy23: Lol, @ bolded . A more appropriate term would be "Dubious Importers" I'm an "Ibo guy" too. But it goes without saying, the standard of merchandise we put out. 80% of other key distributors for local brands are also Ibo by the way. People just need to source wisely and ascertain the genuity of their source. Not everybody with a shop full of cables is an "Appointed Distributor" . Buying from an "appointed" distributor might also not give you 100% immunity, but it is your surest bet in an open market. 1 Like |

yak: He never said "ALL FAKE PRODUCTS", he was only referring to these fake cables imported from China. Or do you still need "Research" to "observe" that, abi? Let us keep deceiving ourselves. Moreover, some Igbo Men dont do such shameful acts. At least we all know that @Alcopacetic is an Igbo Man yet he does not import or sell fake electrical things. 4 Likes |

Daboomb: Agreed with you. Nigeria people as a whole are all guilty... Not just Ibos... If we keep pointing fingers we will never eradicate the problem. Go after anyone involved.... Ok... say the Igbo man import it, what of the Yoruba/Hausa (or whoever) Custom man who let him bring it into the country? So we (tribal wise) are all guilty.... ALL means, all those people regardless of their ethnicity. Prosecute them to the fullest. Hajji M. 4 Likes |

Daboomb: I can answer some of this for AllCopacetic... Buy from him (Pay to him) and then pickup the cables from the Coleman factory. And he always want you to pickup from the factory... I and friends have done this with him. Also another Agent for Nigerchin. That is the only way you can be sure of genuine cables. Hajji M. 5 Likes |

this day na factory sure pass oooo before we dont use to have engraving on the fake cable... but this day they have perfected the act. going to shops might not help really. now is becoming scary. but the those distributor know themselves they can identify fake from original even with the engraven. 1 Like |

topsy23: This is what's useful for me personally. I am not opportune to go to the factory for pick up and cannot trust a third party representative. How do I recognize original cable in the markets in Ibadan? That's the koko of my matter. |

mufutau55: I hear you, Sir, and you're right. There's just something about me and that Nigeria, I can't seem to get as much done when on the ground, even with the best of intentions. It's an energy sucking edifice, that Nigeria. It doesn't help too that the factories are in Lagos, a city I abhor. I just wish the factory had direct outlets in other major cities. 1 Like |

Daboomb:Just like there is no guarantee that every acclaimed Man of God is righteous. There will be a handful of distributors that will play on both teams, especially if your "Aroro" is too much or your pricing is unrealistic. Rather than loose the business, they might sell you clones, because they figure that's what you're gonna end up buying at that price anyways. especially where very large volumes are concerned. |
