Well their own way of hussling is to scam and carjole you which equals to defrauding you...it has become part of them and truth be told they will infect you if you are not careful...from importing and selling substandard goods all over Nigeria and beyond with their so called partner chinco people...we all know how they do it,they go there negotiate for them to reduce the quality of such goods and again thanks to our corrupt officials! Boom those goods are all over the market..they need to stop all this rubbish...I've had bitter experience with them both alaba market and Ladipo(Toyota) and mind you they operates in ring..they always support themselves...greedy bunch of ......Yet they keep on soiling the country image wherever they go with their stupid get rich or die trying mentality...bunch of P!G$ |

lekki1444: Alright but I prefer dealing with companies to private individuals just to avoid sob stories. Trading in open markets is not worth the risk esp when you're acquiring assets. Btw, I was a regular in Alaba when I was in school. I'd go there to buy CDs lol. |

I go to Alaba regularly, right from my student days. All I can say is that person wey go dupe me for Alaba go try! E self go see pepper! ![]() But on a more serious note, do the following when buying at Alaba for the first time: 1. Go with someone who knows the territory 2. Determine what you want to buy before going (price, quality, specifications, etc). This can be done online 3. Avoid greed, in all its shades and hues 4. Buy from reputable shops, with a physical presence and a name to protect. 5. Check your receipt if it corresponds with the terms of your purchase 6. Test your product before leaving, make sure all components are complete and working 7. Check the brand name well. (There is SONY, and SONNY, and SUNNY. There is SAMSUNG and there is SAMSSUNG and SAMSONG!) 8. BEG GOD TO HELP YOU. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

[s] Onlinealaba:[/s] It is not a consumer's job to clean up the mess you traders created in Alaba. When you go to motor parks there are always agberos but no passenger ever hands their money to a tout and expect to get seat. This is so because NURTW has a process in place to guard against such, without unduly displacing agbero from their own daily hustle to eat. Similarly, Alaba task force needs to setup a structure that does not unduly remove the thieves but ensure that consumers have a sense of trust when they enter your market. If they dont know how to do it, they should contact Lagos NURTW Chairman, Alhaji Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Alaba International Task force in different sections of the market should do something about Osoafia or Scammers in the market. Because they are spoiling the image of the market. No customer will come to market that is not save or where he/she can not transact business with rest of mind. 2 Likes |

The shop owners know these scammers....everyone in charge of the daily running of that market know these guys...however,these scammers at the end of the day settle the shop owners and task force in order to maintain their silence! I don't care if you are diligent and upright,as long as you are silent in the mist of injustice perpetuated by these heartless criminals,you are also part of them!

taikonet005:Same thing who is doing in SA? Shebi that's how you skull miners were saying that it was Igbos getting attacked in SA,but Las Las it was your Yoruba brothers that were eventually evacuated in mass by airpeace. Go to Ghana you will see your people there doing whatever it is you claim "they" are doing. I don't blame you Sha, Yorubas have their way of surrounding themselves with propaganda and self deceit while condemning everyone else. |

Trash You're still trying to justify him being scammed because he priced it too low. what if he didn't know the original price?. does he work in Alaba to know that the price was too low? Simple "e no gree", no fight, he would've known that his money was not enough to buy the item. there are scammers from ever tribe but stop justifying this stupid act. 2 Likes |

IntegralC:He isn't saying so bro. As a trader myself I can tell you that some tokunbo items are more expensive than their new. For example, tv sets produced on UK standard (tokunbo) are more expensive than the new you mostly see around because they are either made in China or made to Africa standard. 2 Likes |

Year 2002, I went to Alaba with my late cousin who repairs radio, TV etc. We moved round the electronic shops looking for Aiwa deck(3 CD loader) fortunately who saw one got it tested with the 2 speakers and I love the sound, before the payment was made, I took hold of the speakers while my cousin carried the engine, then the guy(seller) wrote the receipt and I gave him money, on our way out of the seller's shop me and my cousin got surrounded by about 4 guys including the seller, we asked them what was the problem, to my greatest shock we were told the 12k was only for the engine and we have to pay for the two speakers, so I told the guy to return my money, he refused, after much shouting and displaying of madness, the place was tensed up, we gave them the 2 speakers due to our safety and I vowed never to buy anything or step my feet there (Alaba Int'l) again. Luckily for me I got a good speaker better than the follow come at a warehouse along Akowonjo road, Egbeda for 3.5k My submission is save your self the stress of going to Alaba for your electronics by purchasing online or at any electronics show rooms around your area. 4 Likes |
