Why are some of us here complaining.... Most of us here see these low quality china products and we still buy them. Most of these china stuffs are not fake, but the quality no be here. Atimes i thank God for China , because they hav been saving Nigerians. Since we dnt want to start producing things oya let the importing kwontinue..... All we knw is just to complain and fold our hands...... Dances off from the thread...... 5 Likes 1 Share |

Elchappo:.. because you think you are right, does it make him a liar? There is a way around a lot of things in this country of yours negatively but that doesn't mean that some people aren't civil and law abiding. SON is the base defaulter from deviating out of its onus... Its status quo is meant to stand and not blame the traders because they can't tell Nigerians that they are blind to the action of the traders but are compromise and culprit of it too. |

most of the comments above are reek of ignorance. What push the market of any product is demand whether substandard or not and the essence of any business is profit maximizing. Most Nigerians will always go for a cheap product as againt the high end ones making the demand for substandard to sore high and higher. No business man including me will buy the so called *standard product that will tie up his scarce business capital with less profit margin while there is higher demand of the so called *substandard goods. To check fake product circulation in our markets, the regulatory agencies need to up their game and the masses should change their AWOOF atitude when it comes to choice making. note: cheap products does not indicate fake and vice versa. 2 Likes |

You go to market, you see a good worth 50k and you see another similar good worth 20k, you buy that of 20k and come here to complain. What do you expect before?. You want to have your cake and eat it?. 1 Like |

When you say "helping" you mean that China is being totally charitable and helps Nigeria entirely at its own cost ? Otherwise if they getting paid then its called "selling to" , not "helping". In which case what Nigeria offers them is obviously business and money. HQuadreal: 1 Like |

That goodsgoods are cheap does not mean that they are fake and that goods are cost does not mean they are original, your economy determines how cost things will be, go to china and price good quality things and see how cheap it is and you will surprise. A big bottle of pure water in China is sold for 2RMB while the lesser quality here in Nigeria goes for as high as 150 to 200naira so do we now say Chinese table water is fake or substandard?. And again if you don't know how things is been produced or it's components how can you know what makes it to lack in quality? Our security agency need more education to what determines a good product and up to date world standard laboratory to test run some goods and based a fake on how cheap it is. Just my common sense as a certified criminologist. |

Khd95: that iphone7 that sold for 27k were produces for some people who has affinity for iphones but the economic situation of Nigeria deprive them of such luxury. So those importers are helping Nigerians including you. If I am a phone dealer and people like you keep on demanding for a lower cost iphone7, I will import a 40fts container of it in order to meet your demand and saturate the market with it. |

Nigeria is now a dumping ground for substandard goods due to our greedy and I don't care attitude. I remember before now people by ORIGINAL goods not minding the price provided its serves it purpose,even when they are not wealthy because they was less fake and substandard goods in the market. It was what is in the market then you'll buy either either you been rich or poor and people did not complain or die about it.but due to the greed of some people they go to China and make similar product with less quality n same packaging and they come to sell to us here in Nigeria. The trend continues and we now find our selves in this mess now. 90% of foreign goods sold in Nigeria are either fake or substandard. 1 Like |

Now tell me,the umbrella dat sells for 500N is substandard to the one that sells for 2500N right? Another word for substandard is fake,not cheap,because its not of the same quality as d one that is costlier...now..the man that import same products at different prices,can even sell the fake one as original nd u nd i will still consume it 1 Like |
