Things And Places To Avoid In Uyo, Akwa Ibom State

As written by Osam

If you're planning to visit or already living in Uyo, in Akwa Ibom State, please written below are things and places you need to avoid for your own good, while you are in Uyo.

1. The Phone Repairers Around Plaza: Should your phone get spoilt, while in Uyo, pls don't make the mistake of taking your phone to any of the so called phone repairers around the popular plaza, cos majority of them are scammers. They don't know how to repair phones.They are just there looking for unsuspecting customers to swindle.
Most of them are agents who pose and pretend to be genuine phone repairers. They are just there to seek and collect phones from customers, which are later taken to the real (but not so good) phone repairer somewhere for repairs. The outrageous fee collected from customers are usually shared between them. And most times, they are unable to repair the phones after collecting money from the owners of the phones. Their main aim is to 'chop' your money. They are swindlers. They don't take their time to learn the work well before setting up shop as phone repairers.

Don't take your phone for repairs to any of those guys at plaza. Simply look for an authorized and well established phone repair company to take your bad phone to in uyo.


2. Shoe Sellers At Plaza: Avoid buying shoes or any footwear on display from any of the sellers around plaza. Majority of them sell substandard footwears that won't last more than 3 months before they start getting spoilt. Avoid them!

They may be cheap, but they are substandard footwears. Save enough money and go to any good boutique in Uyo to get quality shoes that you can wear and enjoy for a long time.


3. And avoid dating Uyo girls. According to some guys I spoke with, most of the girls in Uyo are scammers. Many of them work hand in hand with their main boo to deceive and scam unsuspecting toaster or lover boy. They told me, most of these girls are usually sent and used by their main uyo boyfriend (that can't take care of them very well), to deceive and scam any guy that might want to date her. The girls will give the new loverboy sex, just to make him feel happy and convinced, while they (together with their main boo) feed on his money and resources...

In order not to be scammed, they are advising guys to face their work/business, and avoid Uyo girls. Cos the girls are not in Uyo to count flyovers. They are there to make money off guys.

Are you speaking from experience? Lol

Dem don do my guy strong thing

Are you a victim?

OK, u try for giving us a heads up

4. Avoid those guys that will accuse you of hitting them after they hit you first or positioning themselves where you'd unintentionally or unknowingly hit them. They'll ask you to show them "joy" and if you give them a token out of good faith, their partners will infest the area and ask you for their "joy" too...

Just tell them their tricks or shout and they'll disperse while cheering you as "smart guy" or "big boss"

5. When buying shoes at plaza, avoid those guys that will offer to insert pins in your shoes for free or for a token of N50. They will charge you N300 per pin afterwards and you must pay with cash or your phone.

And yes, I'm speaking from experience!

No. 5 i guess is everywhere, one mallam nearly trick me into this at Kaduna but since I've seen them use such method n collect my friend at uyo#3700 just for inserting few pins in #3500 shoe he bought, naso i curse d mallam n i saw real disappointment in his face which got me laughing

may be you cursed the wrong person hence the disappointment.

All this people using "i was told", nobody told you anything! You're just to proud to admit you're a victim!

I doubt about the phone repairers those boys the always deliver and the don't charge much

The Uyo phone repairers are learning work where the computer village crooks are. Those ones will remove the remaining good parts of your phone and replace with inferior parts (that's if you're lucky enough not to return home with a fufu phone or have your phone stolen). If you don't know your way around that place or go with someone that does, better you don't go there. There are more criminals than honest people there

Welcome to UVA (Uyo Victims Anonymous)
To cut the long story short. You tried to repair phone for the Uyo girl not knowing you're the side nigger.

I am proudly from Akwa Ibom State and I live in Uyo and I can boldly say OP you are talking rubbish ,your list is lame as I was expecting you to say something serious as any normal city you find people hustling everyday to make ends meet for the phone repairers can you compare it to computer village experience? Not to talk of the shoes don't you know what is called "aba made" you expect someone to go buy expensive shoes and display on the roadside on the floor?for the girls please don't use your beer parlor gossip to classify all Uyo girls because you are not stupid

Both the girl and the guys are maaaaaaaaaad

See as e write handout.

Uyo gehs nearly kill am.

No 2 is false

If you nod Uyo girl well, you will realize they are the purest form of love.

This post is why I keep thinking Nairaland is becoming useless.

Someone made a post without good research or whatever, it's in frontpage boom!

The things spoken of here happen in any city. Except the OP was living in a village before now.

With the nonsense things he wrote, he painted all Uyo girls with one brush. So my friend Edima that works hard to send herself through university and is currently job-hunting will not get a man because of one idiotic post.

Seun, your forum is becoming useless. Tell your mods to push reasonable things to the frontpage.

You can only attract your type. I live in Uyo and all these things stated here are false.

And how come all your talk is about plaza, Na only plaza de for Uyo?

Anyways, Christmas village will soon be opened in Uyo, come and have fun.

As a proper omo mushin, " tin ba de Uyo, maaa scam iya gbogbo won"

Been to uyo once. The roads were good

Uyo meyo uyo meyo o uyo.

B4 u tell us gan, teni don inform us in form of music.

Run away from Meat before U eat Human Flesh

LOL.. BABA DON FALL VICTIM.. Uyo niggaz no nice at all ho

This is true. Dated an Uyo girl from Lagos that just finished her NYSC. Most awful experience. If you really want Akwa Ibom, go for the Lagos bred ones.

Hmmmm
