My Experience Along Benin- Ore Road by cyril10(m): 4:15pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
I was on leave in mid August 2014 when I decided to travel to Lagos with my family. Before the leave started, I gave my car to my mechanic to service and to make sure everything is in order before we embark on the journey since I wouldn't want to put my little kids in jeopardy . On the D-day, we left home early to atleast get to Lagos by 4-5 pm but it was not to be as I eventually fell into the hands of scamming mechanics along Benin-ore road which I later regretted for some time. The journey was very smooth from P/H to the point between Benin and Ore when I unluckily met with evil mechanics and their accomplices, as I was driving, a man on okada (bike) started pointing on my tyre that it is wobbling, I had to quickly stop did I quick turn around to a waiting mechanic that directed me to his shop, when I stopped, I discovered that oil was dripping from my tyre rim, it was later I discovered that they actually splashed oil on the rim but was too late, they have removed my 2 front tyres, removed my hubs to show that they were broken, they called motor parts seller one of the accomplice. The hub that should ordinarily cost 8-10 thousand cost me 40,000 naira each, at the end of it all I ended up wasting 113,000 naira. I have to share my experience here so as to warn people that travel on that route that they should ignore people like that mostly along Agbor- benin and Benin- ore roads. 11 Likes 8 Shares |

Hmmmmm... Even at that you need to learn how to bargain... How the hell did you spend 113k for something that was not actually faulty when you even know the actual cost? 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Only God will forgive those fraudsters. Their antics lead to the death of a very close friend of mine in 2009. My friend just got himself a new ride, while they were coming from Lagos these people stopped them and showed them many parts in the vehicle that needed to be ''fixed''. They quoted him a bill of 50K. Not having the money on him, he came home to ''rag'' around. Evening that same day he left with a friend from Benin on bike. As the story went they passed the place where the vehicle was been ''repaired'' before they realised. They immediately told the bike man to make a turn, just as he did they discovered a trailer was close-by. To cut the whole story short he was crushed by the trailer, being the last to jump off the bike! That was how we lost 23yr old Igho ;(. #Pathetic. 6 Likes |

This is an old tactic and it has been discussed many times. When you are driving and you encounter such, ignore them, when you get to a place that is safe, you clear and check your tire. These people are so connected that one person will pour the stuff on your tyre, others would be flagging you down 2 Likes |

Re: My Experience Along Benin- Ore Road by EddyNumerouno(m): 5:25pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
ok, your story has too many holes 1.oil splashed on a hot rim will produce smoke, making you to be alarmed. 2. what were you doing when you had two tires and hubs loosened? (and i'll also assume the tires were smoking due to the oil, so you had smoking tires and didnt bother to check what was they were doing ) 3.thank God for atms, how many people travel with 113,000 naira lying around the car? (plausible, so i'll let this one slide) 4. i'll assume your car transformed into a 2014 model car in the workshop (the only way to explain the astrometrical rise in price of spare parts (the point of this scam is to make you pay for parts gotten from another poor chap and yours will be sold likewise...so i'll assume the parts werent brand new) this your story get as e be, therefore; story for the Gods Q.E.D 5 Likes |
