My Bad Experience At Emeka Offor Plaza Onitsha.. by bsaying(m): 1:50pm On Jun 23, 2016
Today, i decided to go sell off my ipad 3 and ipad 2 which i didn't frequently use,the ipad 3 has a cracked screen and the ipad 2 was fully functional... so i headed out to emeka offor's plaza from my place in asaba, i was filled with so much enthusiasm and optimism even though today was my first day of selling a gadget in a market like that..
Upon my arrival to the market, just at the entrance, i met two boys who asked if i came to repair or sell, i told them i wanna sell, they said i should follow them, we got to a shop and they asked the guy if he was interested and the guy nodded and said he was, then they said lets go and check if the gadgets had faults, we got to another shop and the guy said he would check for the faults by scanning with a laptop, he said it was #20 for each faults the system detects, before he started the scan i told him i only had 900naira on me as my tfare back to asaba and didnt have much to pay for scan, he went ahead because he had a plan in mind, at the end of the scan for the two devices, the total price came out as 17980naira...Jesus Christ i screamed, he said, bros am done with the scan and repair, i was like which repair Immediately the whole boys started gathering and saying bros "give the engineer im money na"
My head was full, i was angry and felt cheated, knowing fully well he did nothing but just run a normal scan which i witnessed...
I continously begged the guy and the boys there,even with igbo language but to no avail, at the end of the day, the engineer who has been admiring my blackberry Z10 now said i should sell my bb Z10 to him for 10k and he will balance me 5k or i drop the two ipads and go to asaba and bring his 17k,they had already seized the two ipads and threatened to call market security, i ended up selling the bb Z10 which i had and went home with 5k and still didnt sell the two ipads.....
Am angry and making this thread from the bus on my way home...
Will i like to do business with an igbo man again?? No......

From the moment you stepped into the market, you looked like jjc and they capitalized on that. You could have opened a thread here to sell the device or give it out to someone as charity and the pain you are feeling now you will not experience it. Believe me when i tell you that the feeling will last for years. Whenever you hear of the plaza you will realize how foolish you were

You should not have allowed them scan anything for you in the first place. Anyways, u didn't know. Sorry.
But what those guys are doing is totally wrong and should be condemned.
Op if u won't do business with an Igbo man again, that probably means u may never do business with anybody again. Another thing you could've done was simply go out and look for those Mopol guys around, bring them there and all your problems would be solved.

Hahahaha! Umu Otu adighi achi! But guy u dull oo! Hw u go allow them intimidate u like that nah?

Back then when I was still novice in this kind of game, I use to give them my memory card to transfer #200 songs at the rate of #20, they'll just copy all music in their system and tell me that my money is #5k. As novice wey i be then, i'll plead with them to collect 2k.

They dare not try it again now. That white house go hear our voice that day.
The thing is, you went there speaking high vocab for them. Then when u see say mata don tie rappa, u then switch to igbo. hahaha!. That's why they saw you as potential maga. I'm in the market, so I know.

N:B never buy or sell any from those agents(OSOAFIA) standing on the road.

You should have allowed them to call the security.

I have experienced something close to this before with no one by my side, I begged them (like 5 guys) for a while because I was younger and (NSW) neva-sabi-well. After a lot of talks and threat that I should pay 5k or loose my gadget, I gently stepped out of the shop, marked the faces and the shop address well, then went to a nearby police station to report the issue.


Short story, I got my gadget back without feeling cheated after the police intervened.


Computer village, I believe they are "BADDER" than those guys!

Sorry for your loss shocked angry angry cry

People can't just be losing their valuables and joy like that.

The authorities in that market should do something to curb this menace; otherwise the market will continue to have a "bad" name.

Never trade with an Ibo man again. You've been forwarned. We've had many threads like this one pop up.

It is about Ibos. That's why Yorubas will always control the business sector while y'all continue with your trading. .

ain't nobody to blame there but yourself, first you went to a market and start transaction with people you met outside and not somebody you met in his shop.do you really think they are there to help you and not to make profits off you,so if you get to airports you talk to people standing at the doors and not those behind the desk or counters.are you a Nigerian at all
secondly you already start playing tribal card,hmmm we still have a long way to go in this country cos I also remember someone on this forum blaming the Yorubas when he was duped at computer village.tribes don't commit crimes individuals do
thirdly when you made that mistake you should have looked for market authorities and lay your complain they will return your phone and evict those touts cos that's their policy at Emeka offor but you chose to run back home to post it on Nairaland. you fall mugu like the whites
