This is a very expensive lesson, very very expensive.
So unfortunate that you had to learn this way because according to someone that said, the cost of your phone at 170k plus the cost of fixing the screen at 115k has already get you a Note 8 which is true.
I Don't understand why people can't buy brand new and genuine product from accredited dealer....becaise all these promo sales and UK used or Tokunbo products are penny wise Pounds and Dollar foolish.
It pays you to get a Brand new product from accredited dealers even if you will get it on mortgage, it really pays and keeps your mind at rest while you enjoy your products.
Samsung or Apple where dey get accredited dealers, you think say them Stupid.?
No dey are not but they know people will produce substandards of their product.
My brother, if I should advice you. Its either uou hire a soldier man to his shop and trade in the phone for another for you or your just forhet your 170k and give the phone to your Baby to serve as Bible, Dictionary or Gaming because if you attempt to repair the Screen with another 115k you are just thrown encountered another loss because the phone it's self is substandard and you can't use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) on substandard products, it wont last at all, it will pack up again.

Never say never dear.. The world is unpredictable.

I disagree with you, if you really want something endeavour to go for the genuine ones.
Let me tell you, it is an habit to either buy brand things or Second things. it is not a matter of never say never.
There are some people they can buy fourth hand products they are juat comfortable with it but I dislike such. That's is why you have things in various standards, go for the one you can afford but must be a Brand new.

Don’t know how I will pay for a phone after noticing a fault on it. There are so many phones out there and better offers too. To be frank, u got yourself in the problem. Good information anyway, so other people can learn

From my experience with Samsung Phones, Your screen is dead. You will have to get a new screen. Sad truth is that the cost of a new screen + your cost price of 170k = A new note 8 and some change.

Its quite sad that this happened to you. I am sure the seller had seen signs of this screen which was what made him sell the phone at that price to you.

My advice, since he said the phone comes with warranty, then go to his place with either a soldier or a policeman let him replace the phone (REPLACE THE PHONE OOOO, NOT CHANGE THE SCREEN).. Always run from fixing the phone, cos getting an original screen is very difficult. 10% chances.

Now you will spend money, maybe close to 50k for the police or soldier. But it is worth it if you are getting another phone

U b correct guy, when anybody cheats u in this country, go with Army and your mountain would be plain and easy. Police won't be feared like army! He should go with army, instagram na long story, he dares not try this shit with army officer, he would end up losing all the phones in his shop sef without any money paid back when army go destroy the whole shop. Nigerians like to cheat themselves unless you're the stubborn type and have backup.

How can there be an ink dot on a brand new phone of N100 plus and you still went ahead to buy. Well, some people sha

they get money to throway right? They just amaze me. 175K + 10k would've got him a spanking new Nokia 8.

david4z:
chai sorry.. But what about if the broken screen was not your fault. And you have to fix it your self... Its a lot painful

Usually the warranty does not cover damaged screens! So yes, you have to fix by yourself

fibonacci2526:



Good God!! Stop this. lolllll.

Walahi it is so annoying..them no gree person see road again.

I only replied the part she said she'd "NEVER", If you can afford new things, then fine.. But in life, I have learnt to never say never, especially about financial angles of life.. This is not about habits, this is about the unpredictability of life.

my screen does not have a single crack. It must have been what caused the ink that is making it flicker. The screen was faulty from the onset. Because he could not even explain how the ink came about. Chai and i wanted to back out o.

I can NEVER do business with a Nigerian without meeting that person one on one.Even one on one business people still get scammed but the risk is highly reduced.Nigerian are very heartless people and one of the worst people to do business with online because they aim to scam you.Am a Nigerian&am not saying this to spoil business for some people but if you are reading this,never trust a Nigerian you cannot easily retrieve your money from offline.Doing online business with a Nigerian is a NO NO for me.Never!

Exactly my point. Your money could have been held in escrow until you were a 100% sure you wanted to keep the phone. Or just ask for your money back after returning the item and you get it back, no hassles. Life is too short for any stories that touch biko.

Want to warn people against this discount deals on I.G .. got a samsung galaxy s8+ from trace communication for 170k on a so called promo deal. I don't reside in Lagos but i decided to trust him I sent someone whom is not also in Lagos at the moment...

After the discussion, I sent the money through a friend. on getting there he discovered that there was an ink on the screen which trace denied not knowing about. I told him to back out. But trace insisted that nothing was going to happen. and extended the warranty for a month. ok. I trusted him and paid him 170k the phone got to me. I checked it.. just the black spot..

But after 6days I started noticing the screen showing black and flickering. i waited for when i could get it on camera so i can show him. Which i did. he was confused.. looking for one excuse to give or another.

Prior to our deal of a refund or change. he insisted that i will take half of the cost of the screen. i agreed because half bread is better than non. i decided to send the phone down to Lagos only for him to say that lets leave it for a while...

That he paid this and paid that.. ok fine i agreed because 58k + waybill 5k =63k was not what you could just jump on. well i didn't know he just wanted the month to expire .. to cut the long story short. i got an engineer who said he has a used screen for 80k prior to 115k trace was asking for. i thought that to be a better plan.

Because of my half stake in the deal.. 40k would be beta than 64k. well i told trace communication. that was when i got the shocker . that the warranty has expired. after all the time he wasted. and i should repair my phone my self.. i am dumbfounded . because thats a 110k bill on my head for just trusting a fellow nigerian. i have been trying to follow due process, but its just painful when you trust some1 and you are deceived ..

All bcause i am down in the east. Nigeria, where you cannot trust someone with out asking for birth certificate.. area of residence etc. want to warn against this phone vendor this is my personal ordeal. yours might be different ..

But right now i have a bill of 115k on my head. phone that is not upto 5 weeks. please these promo deals are usually faulty phones. fixed and you can never know when yours will explode and the guy giving you a warranty will suddenly turn arrogant and cunning.(i have proof of everything i said here and i am ready to defend it any where).
