Lying on my bed... The time is 11:58 pm. Two minutes to go.. My dream phone would be mine, or so I think. Fast forward a little..

It is 12:00... I connect my power bank and enable my data.. Jumia here I come. Like a deer searching for water... I'm going through the catalogues.. With bloodshot eyes... I'm looking for my phone... Jumia said 90%off.. So with 12000 or less, I can buy a phone supposed to be worth 23500naira.. After few minutes of searching, the scales fall from my eyes.. Nwanne there's nothing like Santa... No free meal even in Free town.

The prices are all the same. Just inflated and deflated and a percentage slapped across.. I think to myself.. Not only Lai Mohammed can lie.

Black Friday might be a time prices fall.. But just like snow, it doesn't fall in Africa. If you compared the prices on any other "white day" and on the Black Friday, you'd know what I'm saying.. In conclusion, it's a scam and the Black Friday is a White Lie.

Yeah, even on Konga i didn't see any catchy deal. Baolida bag i bought 4,800 on normal day discount was 8k in YAKATA

Op... U r very correct
Misleading people
Mtcheewwwe.......

Just checked Jumia and Konga now, those sites are SCAM…. No reduction at all if you have been checking their price recently you’ll find discover what am talking about. Too bad!

For instance, item sold for N3500 on a normal day I expect to be lesser on Back Friday, I saw same N3500 as reduction and now N6,500 as regular... Just imagine awon werey OLE

Been shuffling through Konga and Jumia... Instead of discounts, Jumia app is acting up sef... Several items having the same prices...

twas a waste of time, this black friday. sha i managed to buy a washing maching, that was the cheapest thing to buy.

Going back to bed joor.. Lies whiter than snow... On a black Friday. @lalasticlala

Op one like to u

same thing happened last year. I have told my sister to hold on first, she shouldn't try buying anything because I don't trust all this Nigerian ecommerce companies. that was why I was never moved when the advert was everywere about the black Friday. which black Friday! Black Friday koh, purple Sunday nih..

Yea @Op ,black+white lies....I was arguing with a colleague yesterday that they cant take up to 90% off but he said they will....Moreso, i've been battling with jumia but cant connect any longer


So sure some people will be fooled by those prices. .Don't know when we can be real for once in this county

Do they think we won't notice?? Nigerians have suffered. They really think we are foolish...the washing machine I bought for 30k is still 30k, they just added an old price of "45k" n claim 15k discount..Everything I had bought on jumia and Konga still have the same price as the discount with ridiculous "Original price"

Sunday nih..
