The B29 Story: My Experience At Ikeja Computer Village Today by Heazy2015(m): 9:30pm On Sep 09, 2015 |
I had been usiing my Blackberry Bold 5. I think. One of those camera phones and it was clear that The Lord wanted me to upgrade. A new year beckoned and I wanted to enter it with one of those phones that used stylus and were y’know big. So, ladies and gentlemen, I proceeded to proceed to Computer Village to make my dream a reality. I had with me my old phone and about N10, 000. The plan of course was to do a swap, add some cash and get the precious Q10. Gosh, I was so excited. That’s how I got there with my own two legs and saw those guys that sell phones on the street. Asked one if he had the phone o, he said yes. Can’t remember his name sha, but he sha showed me the Q10. I played with it, even made a demo call and all to be sure it worked. Baba took me off the street saying, “We can’t do business here o, before these agberos will ask you to settle them”. So, he took me to a shed. All this while, he wrapped the Q10 in a white handkerchief saying he didn’t want it to scratch and that’s how he keeps his phones. Me that I wasn’t even paying attention. I was just excited ‘cos my level was about to change. Nigga just give me phone, abeg. So, we’re chilling in this shed, negotiating. He says I’m going to have to give up my phone and cash. I’m like, “How much?” He says like N15, 000. I’m like, “Just look at this scam. I’ll give you N10, 000 last.” He mutters some shot and agrees. He takes my phone to check it. He then tells me he’s going to stop a bike for me so that no agberos will disturb me immediately we’re done. I’m like Okak. He takes the N10, 000, counts it and then gets a bike for me. He tells me not to stop o because these agberos. So he hands me the handkerchief. Men and brethren, I got on this bike so excited and told the bike man, “Go go go, don’t stop!!!” The bike man took me to Allen avenue before I came down. I held on to this handkerchief like my life depended on it. Fam, I was a big boy now. They were going to respect me now. I had officially arrived. Do they know those of us that have Q10? Shiiii. So I said, let me check my phone jare. I unwrapped the hanky. Children of God, I unwrapped the hanky – and looking at me in all it’s glory was a bright white bar of B29 soap. I looked at the soap, the soap looked at me…I looked at the soap. I poked the soap. Maybe this was a case for the phone. I turned the soap over. No buttons, No screen. I was weak, guys. I was weak. I stood there for some minutes staring at this soap. Look. I took the quickest bike back to Computer Village. Of course, it was instinct. I didn’t see the seller. I still had the bloody soap. One idiot there now asked me, “Broda, why you dey para? Dem no give you the cream wey dey follow the soap?” Ladies and gentlemen, I had sold my phone and paid extra N10, 000 for B29 soap (with no accompanying cream). That’s most likely the most expensive B29 soap in the history of Nigeria. I Have to borrow my aunts phone for the main time You can as well share Ur own experience too 428 Likes 64 Shares |

my own case was similar, but its a long time ago. I went with my friend to yaba to buy a phone on getting there I saw some show glass with phones on display, that time the phones that were common was symbian nd nokia2700.while I was still debating on d price a man who was standing by my side just flashed his phone at me and all I could remember was me,my friend nd the man debating on d price, we finally settled on 4000 which was the only money I was with.initially before paying d money I checked the phone nd it was working,but he collected the phone and told us he doesn't want the police man standing beside us to know what we were doing, so after paying the money he asked us to hurriedly leave nd not look back so the police man would not interfer. that was how I took the phone nd walked for long distance,infact I almost got home before I discovered that I was holding a phone casing packed with fufu. Ever since then(2011) I nd my friend became wise. 70 Likes 6 Shares |

Heazy2015:i would advice you not to fall among the crowd, coz this life we are blinded by things we crave for when the dough is not much available. try to decipher what this mean and not the other way round. as you can see you paid a price for wanting something that make people fall head on you. You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure. james 4:2-3 33 Likes 5 Shares |

The thunder wey go fire those computer village boys still dey inside oven. Mine was my laptop o. I went to computer village with the hope of repairing my laptop's charging point. I was trying to look for a repair shop when a guy accosted me and asked if I was looking for where to repair my laptop. I shunned him at first, but after walking round for 20 mins I went back to locate the guy. Fast forward to his burrowed shop, he tried my laptop with my charger and told me he wanted to test it the laptop with his oga's charger next shop. I kept my eyes on him of course but what surprised me was how he was able to remove my screen without me seeing him remove it. I later got to know after 2weeks. Chai, I no fit cry. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Its been long, Needed a new phone then,went to Alaba int'l to buy a second hand phone,I begged the guy to sell me a good phone,he was swearing to God,that the phone he sold to me was good.. I left,I haven't gotten to mile 2,before the screen started blinking,and finally went blank,all effort to repair it was futile,I was told the phone has expired. I couldn't even remember the exact shop I bought it..I was mad,I wake up every night to curse the guy for like one week. Since then,I buy anything I need new and from the manufacturer's showroom.m 29 Likes 4 Shares |
