Ogbeni sharap! You’re one of them that’s if the person if not you.. Wonder what you found funny.

Another hungry fellow looking for cheap likes and attention

Bro you can do better with your time rather than hating on what's bigger than you..... Keep on trying but you won't get my time/attention

puremaker7:

stanvesco:



Similar thing happened to me at Ariaria market in Aba..
I bought clothe materials worth 250k from one single shop and needed to pack it into a nylon...then into a sack....

Naso the owner Waka comot for shop and left me with some boys( unknown to them,I understood dia trade.....me when Dem born inside Lagos)

After loading the materials I was billed 20k for the packing ( lol....I bought material from you...you out am inside Nylon and u want me to pay you? Are you maddd?)

The owner came and now said I should find them 15,000 naira ( lol, nkita tapuo amu ghi dia)


I didn't engage them oh.....jejely I took bike straight to police headquarters and lied to them that I came to buy goods and they hijacked my money and refused to give me goods..... ( I speak igbo,Hausa and Yoruba so I was just speaking to any officer in his language)


Na van of police i use reach market.....
Aswearugwwwwwd come and see confusion......dey never saw dat move.....the owner denied what happened.....and me I demanded my money!!!!!!




I no buy agaaaaaaain!
See drama.....





....
Lastlast he paid to carry my goods straight to the luxurious park......he still gave police something.....
He still bought maltina and okpa for me...



Police can still be your friend!

na you fit dem. Hahahaha

STENON:
Please can you repost a clearer picture of that receipt? Thanks. It look exactly like what I got from a nairalander after purchasing a bad TV but I got my refund back .

Exactly! That Acunon of a guy is actually a Nairalander. I've seen a couple of his threads here before advertising sound systems and TVs

lucasalves:


This is how to do business, sad thing is poverty has affected our thinking in this country and some people will end up buying used products double the price of a new and better one.

I don't know who you are but when I'm ready to buy mine I will surely be in .

Thanks. I'll be available.

Is true story I was once a victim.....Those union all work together.....would have ask for task force office and make an official entry with the union,the matter will be treated accordingly.
The Alaba union management I know very well don't tolerate such unless u are not telling us the complete story[/quote]

This is embarrasing to the igbos same wicked and devilish attitude make me hate anything second hand or ALABA from the igbos.I will never go there rather visit Samsung office Opebi.. or sony office in Lagos or cash and carry ikeja . My brother your 25k will get you something reasonable and a better home theatre with peace of mind.

Igbo man and money......The igbo community in ALABA needs to resolve this area of greediness, this one weak me..i no want buy again give me back my money..story..Lack of integrity.

This is one of the reason my landlord who is an igbo man does not tolerate giving his house to any igbo man. He will always prefer yoruba because we yorubas are not too greedy in business.

act list i know little or more about alaba , once you come in through vox any thing you see before that bridge pls don't like it talk less of buying it, I repeat before that bridge any thing name it electronic you may see pls don't price at all,.
but once you that bridge you are free to buy anything yet be vigilant, there is no tax force before the bridge but there is after the bridge which you can call on and they will respond if at all there is any issue.
bro I know he painful things like this do bite but let it go.

i went to Alaba international market to buy a set of Tokunbo Home Theatre. Luckily/ unfortunately for me i asked around and i was directed to a shop where i would find my choice. I got to the shop and i specifically told them I want a SAMSUNG Home Theater and the search began. They tested 3 diferrent sets but the last one got my attention and I asked for the price.


acunnon, do you know this man?

Pls in case of next time don't collect anything from them,note the shop number n take ur leave then go report to their association,they will take the matter up.

I can never forget how my friend and i went to phone village in Alaba international with an iPhone 7 and came back home with htc. Just be very smart and vigilant in places like Alaba or get scammed

mabeni:
what did I do wrong?

Are u kidding me?who signs a reciept without looking at what was written on it?hmm sha u have learnt from this bad experience sha..

[Over q75% of those igbo guys that sells at alaba are daylight robbers. I had the sane experience last december . Government has ti do something about this. Its becoming one too many.uote author=Sommydisaster post=93448575]

E be things, man's face looks familiar tho

For you mabeni, sorry for the money loss...... Hope you learned one or few things

Don't post shit, just because you want likes or cause traffic

I got to the shop and i specifically told them I want a SAMSUNG Home Theater and the search began. They tested 3 diferrent sets but the last one got my attention and I asked for the price.

The seller (shop owner) told me it was 55k and i negotiated it to 25k and he asked me pay. I requested for his details but he declined saying he doesn't take transfers. I quickly went to use POS, came back and asked for the SAMSUNG SETS i had priced be tested to avoid foul play. It was tested and i confirmed it. I paid, receipt was issued to me but without going through my receipt, I wrote my name and signed because i never suspected scam.

Now, it was time for me to leave with my purchases and the boy boy told me "the engine/DVD to the home theater i bought does not or work with electricity but strictly works for only generator ". I asked him to repeat himself and he did. The statement didn't make sense to me. He then suggested he could swap the engine/DVD of the SAMSUNG Home Theater i bought for another one that uses electricity. I sensed foul play and asked him why he didn't tell me these before making payment.

Note: the owner of the shop had gone out when boy boy was telling me this.
Luckily, he came back to meet us arguing. I narrated what his boy told me about the sound system they sold for me he affirmed to it that the engine/DVD doesn't use electricity. I got confused and demanded for a refund. These guys refused. Insisting I take another DVD...i refused either that i preferred what i bought. They refused me going with what I bought. This infuriated a lot of noise and here comes in an elderly man who claimed to be the landlord of the shop.

He asked me what was wrong, i told him and he slapped the Boy boy. At this point, i knew I was being scammed but was helpless as well. It was just only me against Alaba boys. The elderly man asked me to calm down that he was there to help me out bla bla bla and requested to see the receipt that was issued to me me. Lo and behold, the subwoofer and the other 3 small speakers was not included in the receipt. They only wrote the engine/DVD they claimed doesn't use nepa light and even boldly put NO WOOFER & NO SPEAKERS. (indirect or indirectly, i only paid 25k for just the DVD player )

The truth was, i never saw these errors before the arrival of the elderly man. he pointed out the errors and finally told me they don't refund money in ALABA that it was all a trick and the trick was for me to pay any amount cos the sound system i bought was more than 25k that i would have to add more money for me to go with it. I insisted i don't have more money to add and they insisted i take a Chinese product. I no gree.

To cut it short, i finally found out the elderly man was part of them. His job was to distract and calm their victim down. At the end of it all, i only got the subwoofer and 3 small speakers. The ENGINE/DVD was not given to me.

This was my sad experience today in the hands of some heartless Nigerians.

That is the face of the SHOP OWNER. TRUE CALLER shows his name as BEN.


acunnon, do you know this man?

Bros I had a similar experience way back in 2010. I was at that market to buy a flat-screen TV. After paying the price they told me (which I knew was ridiculously low for a TV of that make and size) , the man now said that particular set has something called 'spider ' which requires the TV to be turned off every few hours to allow it 'cool down' else it will blow. I told them no problem I will take it like that, because I was already on to them. They tried all they could to convince me to change my mind but I remained adamant. When they refused to issue me my receipt as demanded, I grabbed the TV and made for the door. They quickly blocked me and gave me my money back sharp sharp, the man said he's not selling again.
I laughed in their faces and walked out with my money intact.

Highly dubious people.

CAUSTIC002:
32' tv for 15k? haba

It's a tokumbo tv not a brand new.Dont criminality.

To everyone who quoted me for tribal jibe I threw earlier, thanks for recognizing me. Let me happily inform you that the post has been removed by the , somebody prolly reported the post, not too bad.

I don't have much to say but very few words will be enough to reply all those who broke into my private space and started saying nonsense. I say I'm sorry and F**k you all of course, f**k you for not minding your busines.

Igbos can go to hell I don't care

Another reason why i prefer buying things in my area or closeby

mabeni:
what did I do wrong?

you did everything wrong by allowing them play you.

Collins4u1:
How are you pricing a complete set of home theater 25k.

This same sound system I bought from Alaba brand new 12yrs ago. I have someone I trust there when it comes to buying electronics, I go to him first then he takes me to where I won't be scammed. If you need help on this me and thank me later...God bless us all. Saddist stay away from this comment.

acunnon, do you know this man?

SHINE UR EYES FOR ALABA INT'L

ORIAYO70:




That is Igbo people for you, they r synonymous with fraud...I experienced similar things in Oshodi sometimes ago...

We bargain a certain price, after payment he change his voice...behold naso I hold say me n u na die here. One useless Onitsha boy no go scam me on my papa land, na one Police man solve the issue.

your papa land kill you there !! you this ekiti boy. are you from Lagos ??

2cribz:
Dah home theater na olden days dey inside cos how a whole home theater no work with nepa or phcn,na only gen . Shey na light abi na the same gen dem use test am for you,whoever explain that nonsense need 3 days slapping..

. My brother. U fall yakata... Hustlers use u play ping pong. Nothing a roadside hustler fit tell me wey I go hear. At Odun Ade market, if u fall for those roadside Hustlers u will pay times 5 for the products. They are perfect swindlers when you give them audience

Lukaku95:
your papa land kill you there !! you this ekiti boy. are you from Lagos ??

... Here we go. Person wey waka from ibadan will come n say him be Omo Onile. I tell am say true Lagosians no dey do Agbero

newoffer:
... Here we go. Person wey waka from ibadan will come n say him be Omo Onile. I tell am say true Lagosians no dey do Agbero

no mind them.... Lagos is a no man's land... even their god. the bullion van lord is not from Lagos.

Lessons learnt.
1. Always do a transfer for any transaction.
2. Always read any document in your name.
3. Do not go to Alaba to buy electronic products.

Those boys know the law hence their playing smart.

Thank you for sharing the name of the business.

LOL, smart man

you should have report them to Alaba task force, or report at the police station. meanwhile there are some soldiers who do come around there too, report to a soldier and thank me later .

mabeni:
what did I do wrong?

any person could have fallen into the same trap.... Who would have even noticed the stupid write up on the receipt, sorry bro and thanks for posting at least another format by those dreaded alaba boys detected
