I always buy my electronics in reputable shops- usually from accredited dealers. All my lg products- fouani nigeria. Phones from jumia mall or slot or accredited dealers etc.

I no fit shout.
I don't buy fairly used phones or electronics.

Slot, hmmm, let me just swallow spit, make i no open their yansh for here

It is good to know that you guys have settled.I don't usually have time for this but I felt bad haven gone through your write up and for the fact that I have had a similar experience around March(before the Covid 19 lockdown),I saw it necessary to put a call through.

Later like 6 months after when d TV spoil I carry am go repair. Na for the TV radionic repair shop we come discover say no be LG TV dey inside, na Akira TV but they come put LG casing on top. Na dar time I come wake up say no wonder the LG remote wey follow d TV come no dey work with am. Na d last time I go Alaba to buy electronics b dat

the guy fear him life Na wetin good for some people. E b like say I go do some NEPA marketers too

Alaba and dubious sellers

Openbusiness:
yes, you're correct, used electronics has its pros and cons, and in an environment like Nigeria, the cons outnumber the pros. But beyond that, even brand new Electronics are being "tampered" with nowadays. For example, this my Alaba TV experience, it was a brand new TV I bought there. They tested it for me with the unpacked ones they had, then when we finalized and I agreed to buy and paid, they went to bring a new carton for me, the one that is still boxed and unpacked. They opened it to show me that TV was inside, I saw the LG logo on it, as per casing and they sealed it back. I didn't test it because like it was a big shop with plenty electronics, not like a road side stand. Las las, na Akira TV inside LG casing. So essentially they sold Akira TV to me as LG. So many tins dey happen for all these Electronics markets, especially as per cloning. They will clone an unknown brand into a popular fast selling brand, so they can sell fast. Many abracadabra like that. Even this fraudulent behavior has been introduced to the phones market. They will pre-program a phone of 16GB to read 32GB, or a phone of 32GB to read 64Gb etc. When you check the specs in the phone settings, it will say 64GB, but when you start using it, before u say Jack Robinson, d storage don finish, no space to save any apps or files again. 1GB memory phone will read 2G etc. To buy Electronics now, one gast to shine his eyes well, whether na new or used Electronics

I believe going to certified and popular store will solve this

But you were still cheated. Now you've ended up paying 35k for a set you initially bought for 25k. The guy still win.

Pls house.I have a case in Alaba I m yet to resolve. i priced and bought A century oven at the cost 18k .later one of the boys delivered it to my abode. I collected his number. That was 2 years and some months ago. Since then been buying stuff from them. Three weeks ago I needed to get my exact oven for my sis. So I had to call the guy that I want my exact oven but I can't the size. He asked how much I bought .I told him 18k he said ok it's 20 litres, that it's now 20k. I did the transfer and added delivery fare. On his way coming to deliver the oven he called suddenly that he couldn't make it to my house that he wanted to go back to Alaba. I had to call my husband to met and collect the oven from him half way. When they met he collected another transport money from my husband. To cut the story short .I discovered the oven he brought is smaller than mine. When I called their shop they told me. The oven he delivered is 20 litre sold @ 13k. Mine is 37 litre and current price is 18500. I returned the oven but he is not picking my calls. And am yet to get the 37 litre oven I want. And this is supposed to be a birthday gift to my sis. Pls house,if you can assist me to resolve this. I will be so grateful . Money is not easy to come by.

The guy call number is 08132576313. His name is Chinenye.

I will suggest that you open a new topic/thread and make sure ALABA INTERNATIONAL MARKET is on the topic since it happened there.Then we shall take it up from there.This is not business,this is not smartness and this is not grace but pure wickedness and fraud.My problem is that it seems that the management of this market is not interested in finding a way to curb all these fraudulent and criminal activities.There should be a complaint line/help line to report cases like this and not all those their task force.

am surprised you are the only one that noticed this.

the op is still a loser - he still ended up buying the rubbish home theater for 35k - same money would av gotten him a brand new home theater from jumia - in fact, with 25k he can even get a good home theater that is not popular but will serve him far better than the junk they scammed him.
