What are you saying? Kindly send links on threads that has been opened about Balogun and Idumota being a fraudulent market. My advice is not for you as it appears you might be a trader in Alaba for all I care. My advice is for any one that has never been to Alaba market. Never attempt to go there to buy anything.

The way I felt that day if it's possible to run a daily advert to stop new people from going to that market I would do it. The same receipt has always been used. Divine Grace Investment. My friend has both used electronics from Lawanson and got home it didn't work as expected and she returned it and collected her money in full no dragging. But in Alaba, the money you just paid now now, see me see you I haven't touched your electronic is none refundable. Anybody calling that a business is a criminal.

Heart of a normal man is pure and innate at birth. He comes to the world and start learning different things, behavioral pattern, how to speak, how to do basic things. His environment plays a role in what he becomes.

I said heart of a normal man , I didn't say heart of an Igbo, their hearts are pre-configured to dupe, extort, trick their unsuspecting victims at birth. It is this dirt that they carry all around and they start dispersing to different geographical location, mixing and mingling with the locals, corrupting them in the process.

This pattern can be likened to the plague the world is facing now, COVID-19, you know the story of where it started, it was not contained within the demographic space it was discovered, and boom! It becomes a pandemic. Igbos are like that virus corrupting other tribes wherever they go.

Stop quoting me kid, you can't have your way...

This one is medicine after death. As far as there are no punitive measures in place to deal with those dubious miscreants in that market. My best advice is for a new person is to stay away.

Don't attempt to buy Electronics as a new person in the market. You're better off buying from Lawanson or any other market.

I lost #60k in that market. And I swore never to step into that market.

And this is not about tribe. The main guy that scammed me was Haruna then supported by my Igbo brothers. I see it as the culture of the market. The tales from first timers experience in that market has always been horrible. And don't try to blame it on the guys doing osoafia. They are in Idumota and Balogun too. In fact I use them alot. They earn commissions from the stores and each time I make use of any of them I still tip them because they save me alot of time especially when I'm looking for a particular design of wears.

Like I said earlier, fraud is the culture they have adopted in Alaba market as a virtue.

If you have never been to Alaba before to buy Electronics better stay away. You're 99.99% likely to be scammed. So why take that chance?

I guess igbos are the scammers in Ikeja computer village. If igbos infested other tribe in scamming, who infested Nigeria people in Owoida, collecting money for job already paid for.

There is a circle where evil go round from tribe to tribe in this country, Kidnapping was known to start in Anmabra, today the whole North is a den for kidnapping. We know the tribe known from coperative and executive begging and political assasination, today everywhere in Nigeria its rampant. Like i said its one country and we learn from each other whether good or bad.

Why are you barking like that?

I hope you're about to tell us that the market leaders have resolve unanimously to stamp out those bad eggs to redeem the image of the market.

They should inform their members that anyone his shop is used in defrauding someone will be expell from the market simple.

Then they'll use one to three people as an example and this reoccurring madness will come to an end.


Failure to do so will indicates that all of them are together in scamming people and will not help the market too.

lolxxxxx hahahaha I no follow the guy trend yesterday. can you give me the link?

IgbalodeRaymond:

Cest comment mon frere?

Lol I don't speak that much French brother... I only understand just a little bit

Do you mean "Well, how's it hanging my brother..??"... Right??

MrOjay1:
The truth is many fraudulent activities in Alaba are perpetrated by Igbo people and i'm Igbo.

We really need to do better.

The first time i went to Alaba to buy a phone;a second-hand phone,i was ripped off by my supposed 'brother' who claimed to have come from the same place as i am.

I was sold a phone with a dead panel.When i went back the next day for a refund,i was told to add more money to collect another phone.A phone i don't even know if it was in perfect working condition.

Can you imagine?!

I couldn't involve any older person or task force to help me handle the issue because the money to mobilise them no dey and shame sef follow hold me at how easily i trusted them based on say we be 'brothers'.

I was angry within myself.Whenever you're too trusting and want to do a honest business with your Igbo brother but get defrauded,people will blame you as a mugu and hail the other one as 'sharp'.


This is not to say there are not honest Igbo business men in Alaba,there are but the thing is evil or bad quite easily always overshadows good.A person can run a successful business transaction with 7 different honest Igbo traders at different point in time but 1 bad business gone wrong from another Igbo man will always linger in his memory.

Try to do your due diligence whenever you want to procure any gadget.

If possible,go with your friend as it will be difficult to defraud 2 people at same time

EFCC. Follow their Twitter or Facebook page.
You go weep for Yoruba boys.
Today ibadan, tomorrow Abeokuta,next tomorrow Lagos,next week Akure.
Ibadan na the worst. Ibadan alone has at least 50% of Yahoo boys in this country.

See what you just did, who can display that level of brilliance if not you people. Who can think off padding somebody's else post if not almighty igbos, but remember my original post is there and somebody else quoted it. Refrain from this your ways and live life the God's ways...

bro u give me joy with this Ur write up, especially the part where u said Igbos are like virus corrupting other tribes,bros am crying already for them

laosy:
What's the point of this thread now?
For sure, it's same in all markets in Nigeria.
Fraud knows no tribe but make we no lie, it's common among the ibos.

una get mind sha. i avoid all markets. i get my electronics from jumia or konga or jiji or GAME

Hushpupi is igbo abi?

Mompha is igbo abi?
The yoruba guy who sold fake samsung smart tv to me for 160k is igbo abi?

The yoruba tailor who ran away with my money I fully paid him for my traditional wedding attire is igbo abi?

As long as nigeria keep playing the ethnic card in eveeything, we arent moving forward.

Go to Sabo markets and see if Hausa guy will not scam u live and direct.

jacoik:
lolxxxxx hahahaha thanks anyway. that's the ill of alaba international market. fraudulent people

You can say that again

seborrhic:

This point is as baseless as a basket filled with water.
Just because a dealer quotes a ridiculous price means it must be scam?
So the western world,that some organisations are now also adopting here,where there is a black Friday price crash are also scammers?
You see a TV set whose normal price goes for say 200k being sold for 20k on black Friday.By your own awkward reasoning it must be a scam?
They rip you off too when they quote high prices in alaba and some other markets.
Furthermore,the so called union leaders know these scammers,so why do they still allow them operate?
They have shops they take people to to rip them off.Are those shops invisible.
Your point here is zero.

Heart of a normal man is pure and innate at birth. He comes to the world and start learning different things, behavioral pattern, how to speak, how to do basic things. His environment plays a role in what he becomes.

I said heart of a normal man , I didn't say heart of an Igbo, their hearts are pre-configured to dupe, extort, trick their unsuspecting victims at birth. It is this dirt that they carry all around and they start dispersing to different geographical location, mixing and mingling with the locals, corrupting them in the process.

This pattern can be likened to the plague the world is facing now, COVID-19, you know the story of where it started, it was not contained within the demographic space it was discovered, and boom! It becomes a pandemic. Igbos are like that virus corrupting other tribes wherever they go.

Don't mind those hypocritical cone headed Afonjees.
As if there is a Nigerian tribe that is free from fraud.
Everyone just uses his niche of the economy to commit fraud. Northerners are the most fraudulent in government..
Same way 90% of internet fraudsters in Nigeria are Yorubas.

Keep quiet you igbo hating no good two face liar!
