It was a beautiful Saturday morning, sometime last month being May, i had planned to go to ikeja computer village to get a new phone , i didn't have any particular one in mind but which ever it is must be a high end android phone with good specs.
there was no other better day to do this than that fateful Saturday , having heard a lot of tales about ikeja computer village and being a newbie in town i saw it as a great opportunity to explore the market , i got there and saw a lot of shops and boys on the streets beckoning on me to buy their phones , i stopped to check some and walked past some. i went into slot shop and checked a glossary of their phones available and they all exceeded my budget of 20k for the specs i required, i decided to buy from one of the guys i had met earlier on the streets , he had a Tecno w5 lite which was remarkably new, i immediately fell in love with the phone and haggled the price with him , having just 20k as my budget i made it clear to him, surprisingly he agreed to sell at 20k , fine, he followed me to the bank there where i made an atm withdrawal , i gave him the money and he gave me the phone, i was busy checking the phone out and making sure everything was working fine when he immediately told me he wasnt selling again as the price was below what he bought it for .
He gave me back my money n i returned the phone to him, and then i left . i walked a few poles n decided to check my money only for me to discover to my chagrin , what i had was pieces of paper cut to the size of money and folded in a bunch just exactly as my money was.
at that point i became agitated , i couldn't believe my eyes, i have just been hoodwinked . i went back looking for him to no avail, sadly i went home , i lost my 20k just like that to an idiot . that bright saturday turned out for me a very ugly one. now i have learned my lesson never to patronize road side sellers irrespective of how cheap their wares may be. computer village is rift with criminals nad hooligans. Beware.
a sensible man losing his money to an idiot, I wonder who is the idiot in the whole drama.

mine was changing dollars infront of alade market before it got demolished. One idiot was calling dollars at a high exchange rate, thought i could make some extra cash on the side so i went to him. He gave me naira with a note short, when i told him he asked to recount it which he did in front of me then he added the extra note. Only for me to walk some distance and noticed that about 9k was gone from the cash. Omo my eye clear eh. No be small thing o
