dammytosh: You must either be a business owner or one managing other people. My latest wristwatch cost N34,000 I got it from Amazon. You want to buy N2000 wrist watch and expect it to serve you all your life - these guys are crazy. That man truerebel sells cheap ridiculous stuff and automatically they would never last. How can you buy gold for N1000 - Jesus. Go to oanda.com and check the current price for gold. The only issue I see here is disgruntled staff fighting their employer. Truerebel knows his market, he has provided an alternative product for people who cannot buy expensive jelweries. Jelweries are expensive, a good watch starting price is from N10,000 and I know an average student can't just wake up and blow N10,000 on a wrist watch but he needs a timepiece and if there are alternatives, he goes for that. Nothing wrong with what truerebel is doing at that price, his product must be substandard |

dammytosh: No doubt about that. It should even fade right there in the shop not before you get home. N2800 for a wristwatch? Mek una no let Rolex hear una |

lummyguy: Your comment make me sick. I noticed you want to start the same business. Good luck with that. I am damn so sure you will never succeed. It not a curse, it is fact. Business is not an emotional journey. A product with price listing of $0.89 is nothing but an inferior product whether you buy from China or US. pricing your product entails a lot. I will not want to give you tutorials on that because I don't like your attitude. If you like buy for $2 and sell them for $2 that is your business. But never criticize another man's business for it is very difficult to stay in business than to start a business. End of the month are terrifying days because many struggle to pay the salaries employees are busy spending around. Some business owners go to banks or loan sharks to borrow to pay salaries. 3 Likes |

acidtalk: Imagine. Fighting your former employer, your boss - Jesus. I have worked with wicked, selfish bosses. I have worked with unreasonable bosses with anger issues but I have never and will never fight them. A boss builds you up. His negative builds you too. A boss is more experience than you and that's why he is the boss and all I see is lumyguy feeling like an equal to his boss. Lumyguy you are unemployable better start your own business than go destroy others. 2 Likes |

Genea:This is the reason Nigeria is a haven for scammers, people like you. If you've read what truerebel wrote he acknowledged the accusations he was alleged,albeit, sublimely. Now to your clear your post, I'll try not to insult you. 1-A lady in your school sells MaC powder for 2500, but you found out it costs 400. As long as its original, or she has told you people its not real. Then no issues! 2- the lady in your school does her own sales and scamming, she doesn't employ people to do her unfair biddings and not pay them. 3-i don't want to say you are morally bankrupt. To encourage one selling fake items, and tagging same as authentic is tantamount to been a scammer yourself. 4-Sadly, you cleverly ignored the part of his shoddy employee treatment. I want to think that you are either a friend to truerebel, a current employee who's ignorant of her soon-to-become fate, or you are truerebel himself. P.s - don't quote me,if you won't respond to all the points I raised above. 6 Likes |

Biko did laid off workers form an association? If you knew your employer was selling substandard goods and fronting them as the real thing, this moral and ethical codes y'all are claiming now is as false as you claim your ex boss is. You help defraud Nigerians, then turn around to crucify a man because you've been denied the opportunity to defraud more people. What a country! The truth is only important when you are no longer benefiting from a lie. On a lighter note, I'd really love to know how Mr Folorunsho came about his company's name. It's very catchy.....True Rebel hmmm 4 Likes 1 Share |

chiboyo: If your employers treat you as crap, you resign and move on. Listen, I worked with a cruel boss, in short from a subordinate point of view, all bosses are wicked. However, whereever I see this man, I greet him, I give him his due respect. He trained me and even though in my heart I sometimes remember our issues with pains, I still respect him. He told me he was proud of me whether true or not that's his cup of tea. The best treatment you can give to a wicked boss, is to quit and become successful and not this piece of shit this guy is doing here. |

I have taken out time to read through every comment and I am terribly shocked people are quick to say truerebel is defrauding his customers. I beg to differ. He is selling a product and if the customer is not pleased with the product, they either request for a refund or stop patronizing him. I think truerebel is still learning the ropes, as a leader or CEO of a company you don't know everything at once. There is so much to know or learn and by doing this you probably won't start your business. Seun and moderators, you were unfair to truerebel. This is a public forum and a lot of kids are here, some are even insane. As a business owner, I assume you should have some experience except you do not handle employees. You have succeeded in destroying his business based on hearsays. However, you have also failed to note that other business owners are watching you too. Is this the way you intend to treat them? 1 Like |

Boss13:Well, I wouldn't have commented on this thread, but would have just read thru. I don't think I agree with you on having a good wrist watch at the price of 10k.. Maybe its cuz I and my cousins buy from Lagos Island tho. Good chain wrist watches (might be electroplated steel tho) that last up to 4 or more years are sold at 5.5 or 6k upward if you know and trust the dealer. Tho it seems you guys buy from boutiques and they have to make their own gains too.. Anyways, everybody with his/her own way.. |

Boss13:seems u lack the ability to comprehend. did to know the meaning of ecommerce at all. I dont have problem in buying a fake product once I'm aware it is fake but branding it to be an original product and even getting rid of anything on it that will make customers suspect its a China product is where the problem comes in. That is a classical case of FRAUD. BTW, did Seun make any derogatory comment on this thread,so how did he help in pulling down the man's business. there is know cause for alarm if the allegations made against him here by his numerous workers is false,trust me people will still patronize him. 1 Like |

My thoughts on this 'scandal' The True rebel guy has some share in the blame. Not paying salaries is plain uncool, and borderline fraudulent. Using the excuse of 'wiping out contacts' is not reasonable. Why aren't these contacts being automatically backed up? If these contacts were so important, why risk them being stolen? This doesn't seem like a reasonable excuse for not paying salaries. Asking staff to come to work on Saturdays without a contract amendment is fraudulent. You cannot hire staff to work weekdays, agree on salaries based on workdays and then presume to demand they give up their weekend without providing any incentives. I hear the 'startup' word being thrown around in this discussion, but most successful startups have committed employees with a shared vision of the common end goal. Not this shambolic work relationship that culminated in the boss bringing in armed Mobile police with assault rifles to chase out staff, when merely locking the office premises on monday would have sufficed. My feelings on Lummyguy's post are more clear. I started reading his posts with some level of sympathy, but his insistence on whining about the company secrets and business ideas of his former boss are just distasteful. Nobody cares if your boss was inflating the price of his items. He had products his customers thought were good value at the price he chose. Babbling about scamming others is just m0r0nic, when you freely admit you were very active in coming up with new customers for him to sell to, and are thus a part and parcel of any operation you refer to as a 'scam'. I don't see how one can claim moral superiority in a thread where he is boasting about planning to copy his former boss's business secrets. voltron: But from the Lummy guy's word, what is happening is people are buying donkeys for the price of a camel, not even a ferrari. When you buy a watch of N3000, i'm not sure the expectation for it to have the same quality as a N35000 Citizen watch. 3 Likes |

Re: The Truth About True Rebel Fashion Company by Boss13: 9:47am On Nov 05, 2014 |
PrinceMario: You are not being truthful. Who wants to buy a fake product? I never called his product fake but substandard. Definitely, we all want a great bargain and not a reap off. However, have you heard from one customer coming here to complain? The owner explained the reason and that shows true leadership, owing up to responsibility and trying to make amends. For the price he is selling those products, sure they have to be substandard and like I said not everyone would want to pay N50,000 for wrist watches and likewise not everyone would want to pay N2,000 for wrist watches too. Rebranding his products is not an offense, and I will assume he is not rebranding to create a false impression because all what we are dealing with here are hearsays especially from disgruntled employees. Truerebel knows his customers/market and what they want, he has created a product to serve that market. In the future, he may either liaise with wrist watch manufacturers or even manufactures his own brand of wrist watches. Now because he already has a brand name, there will be little difficulty in selling the product. To me this is not fraud, but serving a particular market with a product they can afford. Truerebel cannot come to me with a N2000 wrist watch and expect me to buy, I will never buy because that's not the kind of wrist watch I need. However, someone else would be interested in it because the price seems right and for whatever reason the product quality does not match his particular taste, he should know that all what he got what a bargain and nothing more. My annoyance is with the disgruntled staff, who is also willingly to go into a similar business like that of his previous employers. I am absolutely against owing salaries or maltreatment of staff but the actions and intentions of the OP are absolutely wrong and obviously has nothing to do with non payment of salaries. 2 Likes |

@Truerebel I think you should ensure new and current staff in the future get to sign a contract that prevents them from tarnishing the organizations image even after leaving the company. That way stuffs like this wouldn't surface...Running a company isn't easy. |

In the drug market in a certain state in the east, certain dealers specialize in importing substandard drugs. They employ marketers and have an agreement with such marketers and sell those drugs to unsuspecting members of the public. As a result, the marketers are paid on time and without fail while the people who buy such drugs die.the marketers know the drugs are fake but they are well paid and taken care off by the dealer.
