Even if you drive old 504 peugeot, those guys can scam you more than that amount. They equally use juju power. You think it's ordinary. He can still recover all his money as long as he is working or doing business.Thank God, he and his kids are alive.That is very important.

Apart from your own Ordeal cyril10,a neighbour of mine was travelling from Lagos to Ebonyi State with his Mercedes E300 and narrated what he went through on that road. He said, when he got to where they do sell Garri,Plantain,Banana,etc that they stopped because they wanted to buy garri but the wife indicated interest in Banana and which she almost paid for but the husband stopped and ask them to continue the journey.

The young lady that was selling banana got angry that why should they come and price without buying which resulted to exchange of words. The next thing that happened was, a small girl that was with the banana seller came close to his car and touched with it. That was the beginning of their wahala ooo. The vehicle refused to start and all effort to remedy the situation proof abortive.

Mechanics,electrician,etc tried their luck without success and they commence the trial and error issue which resulted to spending so much money over #100,000. After spending 2 days there,one elderly man approached him that this is not a mechanical or electrical issue that his vehicle had been manipulated spiritually that he should go and make peace with the Banana seller. My man that was blabbing before after going through 2 days of torture,had no choice than to go and beg and even said he'll buy banana this time around .

In conclusion, they settled the matter and the lady in question poured water on the bonnet of the car and that was the end of it.

Next time you try to do this, make sure your profile pic isn't of the same person or are olodos having the same look nowadays?
Now jokes aside, you really have a problem o, i thought you were just looking for something to say which ended up sounding dumb but if you actually believe that daft explanation of yours then I feel so sorry for you.

okeyfineboy:
I was once a victim of that, once your vehicle is in their workshop, there is nothing you can do about the price..if you are not careful with them they will Rob you hands down..and note many of them uses jazz(juju)..in my own case I spent 206k

What! That's outrageous... Eya, sorry about that.

Assuming someone has announced this trick before now the OP mayn't have fallen for the scam.

We should learn to enlighten people on tricks of these scammers.

Say the word and save a life

This is just one of such and it was on front page.

There have been others.

No one's fault but the poster and you probably, for not seeing the topic earlier.

My dad used to suffer from their hands. I used to think his benz was cursed. Once we get to Ore, wahala must dey no matter what side of the road we were on. There was even a day we spent a night in Ore. A terrible experience i tell you. It was in those days of no ATM so we had to carry one of those smelly guys back to Lagos to give him money. The day my dad wised up, he felt like pouring brimstone on them.

This trick is as old as the express itself. There was a time, they would throw rocks at your car just so that your windscreen will break and you will fall into their trap. Sometimes they pour nails on the road so that you will have a flat tire. They even dig up the road so that there will always be potholes.

Hmmm......guess you have very little driving experience and absolutely no knowledge of how anything works on the car. Wheel wobbling....you can hear it...or feel it in the steering....even if you don't know what it is you will know something is wrong. Oil on the rims and tyre....bro...FYI...the tyre is filled with air...not oil.This was a very poor scam.

I guess he also didn't take that personal too How far

Sorry oh.

No wonder i still see them doing that old trick of pointing to the underneath of your car. People still fall.

I really feel for the op. May God replenish u. I have to say tho' that this scam is quite old. First time I learnt of it was an adaptation I experienced some years ago while schooling in abeokuta. I was walking by some shoe sellers and they were all pointing at my footwear. As I stopped, one of them just pulled off my shoe and started mending it. I left him to finish, when he was done they started mentioning amount almost equivalent to the price of the footwear. I just laughed, wore my footwear, cracked my knuckles as madman wey I be and dropped #100. If them touch me after that, I would have demonstrated on them how I earned my black belt.
I can only imagine in present times if I was riding with one or 2 friends in a jallopy that one of us struggle to buy with less than 5k in our combined pockets. Maybe na we go scam the mechanic sef....lol

Eyop:

Not so far close enough

sweettease:
Not so far close enough

Really? Wow!!! That's splendid

Hmmm............ Wow! Thank God for Nairaland. I have never fallen victim of this but I remember clearly that once I was on this road with my friend. First a young man on a bike passed by me and pointed at my tires. I did not pay him attention but not long after, I passed another guy, and he was seriously pointing at my tires. My friend, a lady, became worried and advised that we stop. She felt there must have been something wrong with the car. A sixth sense asked me not to. I merely reduced my speed from about 120kmph to about 80kmph so as to minimize the impact if there was actually something wrong. Not long after, a third person pointed at the tire again. Now I was seriously worried but I kept on moving. When I had gone far away and seeing a filling station in sight, I drove into it. I took time to check every part of my vehicle, even brought out the wheel spanner and checked all. Now I know that I was programmed for scamming.
I wonder what would have happened if I had stopped? Maybe na today I for just sabi say na scam. Vex for don dey kill me by now.

Eyop:
Really? Wow!!! That's splendid

you didn't even ask what's it's close enough for. I will not tell you again

That axis is very bad. Many at times you see dead bodies on the road. Those road side mechanics are terrible.
Even those boys the road side are mostly theives.

funny how we've all turned God to a majician. most comment here are al about "God judging dem", "God repleneshn the op" and all dat. and ds people continue living their free lives scamming innocent Nigerians. Cant something be done? we shouldnt wait till it happens to anoda person den we all start calln God to replenish bla bla bla.
