Very easy to identify for those that use/sell them often, some of them are lighter than original cable in weight and with the use magnet.
A magnet can only tell you if there is an iron content in the length of conductor.
The greater number of high grade imported clones are non-magnetic copper "alloys" .

Then that is neither a business man nor decent human being, but a shyster and fraudster.
Lol, true chief.

But our integrity issue is not limited to traders or local commerce alone. It plays out in our politics, religion, public office, and daily interactions. It really shouldn't come as a suprise. What you see in business is a reflection on a larger scale.

It seems even electrical installers so used to the fake products are now confused about what is quality and what is not. I'll drop you a mail later about an ongoing "Coleman" vs "Colman" wahala.

I hear you, Sir, and you're right.

There's just something about me and that Nigeria, I can't seem to get as much done when on the ground, even with the best of intentions. It's an energy sucking edifice, that Nigeria.

It doesn't help too that the factories are in Lagos, a city I abhor.

I just wish the factory had direct outlets in other major cities.

There is always a solution to everything in life... when you are ready... I can arrange with my brother if it Nigerchin...
And probably I can tell my cousin you know deliver it to you. Nigerchin is at Ikeja, and I know you hate/love Lagos.
I want you to obtain original cables o; house fire not be joke... I never had one and pray not to have any, and you too.

I had a fleeting idea for Mr. Biodun to bring cables down from me with the windows but I thought that might be crossing professional lines.

BTW, he was onsite with me in May to adjust some of the windows. Just a very nice person all around. Thank you for the recommendation.

That will work too... They all take me as brother, it has passed professional dealings now... he will gladly do it.
My brother can collect it and he will pick it up from him... and deliver it.
He had delivered some goods with windows to Ilorin for me before... no problem at all. Well trusted too...
Anyway when you are ready, there are lots of alternatives.... problem will be solved.

I can answer some of this for AllCopacetic... Buy from him (Pay to him) and then pickup the cables from the Coleman factory. And he always want you to pickup from the factory... I and friends have done this with him. Also another Agent for Nigerchin. That is the only way you can be sure of genuine cables.

Hajji M.

This is nothing near the answer to the question.

What l am looking for, is a direct re-assurance from him, or otherwise.


Let him answer by himself or na you dey sell the stuff?

Just like there is no guarantee that every acclaimed Man of God is righteous.
There will be a handful of distributors that will play on both teams, especially if your "Aroro" is too much or your pricing is unrealistic.
Rather than loose the business, they might sell you clones, because they figure that's what you're gonna end up buying at that price anyways. especially where very large volumes are concerned.


I emphasised YOU (You, Alcopacetic) in my post.
I want to know how you do yours.
The question was directed at YOU, and how YOU practice your business.

I repeat: Are YOU saying that when we buy from YOU (Alcopacetic), that there is NO 100% GUARANTEE that we will be getting the original stuff?

Just answer directly Sir and let other Suppliers deal/speak for themselves.

We need to know who we can vouch for, as in 100%

Oh, then I understood you out of context Sir. I made a blanket statement to infer that integrity issue can come up, which was why my response was general.

Speaking of guarantees, I prefer to let my reputation speak. no seller would admit to selling you fakes in the first place. It's not difficult to come out and shout integrity integrity

But since you insist on a direct answer, let me be VERY categorical smiley

"ALL" our Cables are supplied by the Factory, So they are 100% guaranteed to be authentic.
We do not directly or indirectly sell or encourage the sale of adulterated cables (which infact greatly affect our business)
If our pricing does not work, it's goodbye and thanks for considering us.

In Nigeria, you just pack into the new house as soon as you like, completed or not. The only people who come to inspect are the religious groups, family and friends during house warming parties. No form of government inspection after construction.

They do it in Lagos. Although it's not firm yet and you can bribe your way out. LASBCA issues you a form which must be completed and submitted before a new building can be moved into. I have the form. Will post it once I lay hands on it

And this brings up an interesting question.

When you finish building, do you get a certificate of occupancy or you just simply pack in?

I know it exists in Lagos but it isn't all that strictly followed

My oga how many people your brother can help in obtaining original cables, when you broke this new to me. What was my response to you? It's about time to start locking up these criminals that as know regards for human life and properties, from government officials to the importers. My first question was how do they get those cables in to the country in the first place. Imagine those useless SON governments agency coming out like it something new. Can anyone be hold responsible for all those life that has been lost with these criminals minded people action? People comment crime, loot treasures get away with it and became important personally in the society without paying for their crime that was brought that country to what it is today. Just look at that kidnaper case, that is Nigeria of today for you. That is the only country that one can became billionaires overnight, take one billion to bank with no questions ask where one get it. I dey busy in office, not time to keep writing all this long essays note.

Anyways, if anyone is in Ibadan and environs I can reasonable recommend the seller and installer of the fence wire, though I always ask folks to do their own due diligence.

You no serious.

Anyway, the government has no choice. The government is weakened with no majority in parliament and the wicked use of cheap banned cladding with the needless human cost tied the government's hand. If not trust the nasty Tories, survivors would have been posted hundreds of kilometres away from thier family/friends support network. The Tory party is indeed nasty.
