igbsam:you may be right, but i have obviously! been to ladipo, otherwise i would not have had the experience that I had at that market . I wouldn't even be aware that the market existed or even discuss it if I hadn't been there and had the bad experience . no pun taken if you had read my previous comments you will find that I have a business been on this thread and have also been to ladipo and knows what the place looks like. Again no pun taken |

gypsey: I had a business with a medical doctor running into millions. He paid and remaining a fraction and I've been hitting on him to pay up. The last time I left his office/hospital, I threatened him I won't take it lightly if he doesn't pay me within one week. Few days past, I started ringing him but his phone was switched off and after the fourth day, it went through but he sounded unconcerned through the receiver so I decided to pay him my final visit with fire and brimstone in my heart. Approaching the hospital, I notice 4 mobile policemen around the hospital and was like, had this man imported policemen for me cos of my incessant threats and harassment?. I move to the reception and demand to see "doctor". Receptionist said that's not possible for now and ignore her warning, push my way through the corridor to his office with a mopol in hot pursuit, and both of us barging into Doctor's office. Before doctor could complete, police take him out, the manager of the hospital came in almost immediately and took me out explaining, "doctor was kidnapped the day you last came here and was just released yesterday on a ransom of 5 million naira but he resume this morning". I ran away before the policemen around could articulate their next intention concerning me. 8 Likes |

gypsey: I did understand what you said in your last post about walking into a shop and seeing price tag on parts, paying with a credit card and then walk out with a smiling face. You should know that don't work with ladipo. price tag on tokumbo parts ? bruh, you need to bargain whatever price you are being told. They don't tag their stuffs. The market fluctuates. You forgot we work with dollar exchange here. You buy something today at a cheaper price, then you go back the following day and you'll here dollar don rise na. 1 Like |

I was just expressing my feelings on my experience at the ladipo market, and my criticism on their dishonest way of doing business, look! if the guy I bought the brake pads from had presented me with the genuine ones i would have paid him handsomely for them. but not only did I pay handsomely he gave us the Rubbish ones 1 Like |

gypsey: Aqua hospital? That's where I was born. it was owned by Dr. Koffi, a very handsome halfcaste Ghanaian man. it's closed down now though, �. Till today, i still brag to my sisters that I was the only one born in a private hospital, as they were born in government hospitals. lol 2 Likes |

jydeskill1:Oga, your judgement is totally flawed. Let us assume that the person that sold the side mirror to your friend made a profit of N50. If the 1st guy agreed to sell @ N8k to your friend, he would have made some N7,650 profit instantly. So if refused to sale at such huge profit, then there are only two possibilities here. It's either your friend bought a fake product or a stolen item. People like you and your friend are the problem, and not the Ladipo guys. 1 Like |
