A Fish farmer and undergraduate of University of Benin has taken to social media to cry out after purchasing an Iphone 6 from Jumia store. He claimed he bought the phone for 75 0000 naira but unknown to him it was a Refurbished Iphone 6 that was sent to him.
the Undergraduate of UniBen wrote,

“My name is Joshua Ekanem, the phone i bought from Jumia on Jan 11 2019 after using for two months with some issues, like the phone getting hot”

“I know so many people will laugh about this, but i am so depressed because i have saved for this phone after working hard”.

“Why i came online is because I’ve been tackling this issue with jumia for three weeks and have not been getting a good response . I’m a fish farmer and also a student of University of Benin”.

“If Jumia has price tagged it 100k I could have saved for it. For me to recently find out that no new Iphone 6 in the market” .

We have brand new iPhone 6s 32g directly from Apple Store in Miami, U.S but it is around 110k.

75k for iPhone 6, it's just not realistic.

Firstly some of the phones are refurbished which is clearly written in the description, also you need to check if the phone has warranty and how long it lasts. Some of those details are very important while making an online purchase.
Also even at the price of 75k, one can deduce its China refurbished iphone even UK use is costlier than that.
Be mindful while buying a phone that is two years and above old because the market is saturated with fake and refurbished.
Jumia has alot of sellers on their platform and as a result, you may not blame them for the lapses of some of these sellers.

Last thing I will do is buy a phone online
Guess if Tecno and Infinix are your point of call..

For quality Chinese brands like Xiaomi,OnePlus and Huawei you may not have a choice..

You used the phone for good 2 months before you find out that it is a refurbished, just imagine how stupid you are. Just continue using it to the end, the business is over for long.

Na dem way.... Never buy any phone on Jumia that is not Infinix or Tecno and when doing so, buy only phones that were just released into the market not ones already on the market.

As the companies announce release of the new phones so, begin order. If you wait after 2-3 months, this is what you get. #NeverAgain

Everyone is blaming the young man, but no one care to ask if his own had refurbished written on it or not

It would MOST surely have been written as refurbished, maybe in his haste to order and own an iPhone he got carried away, my coz also bought a refurbished iPhone 7 from them, it was BOLDLY stated, and the price was really good, he just has to pray it doesn't develop any major fault.

do they state new and refurbished? Cos I don't think I've ever seen them stating refurbished before
AWOOF dey run Belle,

Only greediness will make him believe a new IPhone 6 will cost 75K..

It's left for a buyer to do his research very well before spending his hard earned money..

Very likely the condition of the phone was stated but over eagerness clouded his sight..

There are NO new IPhone 6 in the market anymore..

If it seems too good to be true,it's best to take it with a pinch of salt..

I feel bad that as a young educated man of today will choose to buy a used phone with "hard earned" NGN 75,000
When there are many other brand new and reliable options in the market for same amount....

I always advice my customers to choose "overall value" over "name"

For N75,000 and less you could buy

1. UMIDIGI F1
2. Xiaomi note 7
3. Xiaomi mi 8 Lite
4. Xiaomi mi A2
5. Huawei Honor 8c 4g RAM 4000mah
6. Huawei y6 pro
7. Huawei y6 prime
8. Huawei yMax 4Gb RAM 5000mah
9. Huawei Enjoy 9 4gb 4000mah
10. Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 4gb RAM 5000mah


The list continues....gurus in the house please carry on....

My guy take note ..Google is your friend use it! Do your own research before buying.
Sorry for your loss though...

Idiots, they can't read but rather blame innocent jumia. Is refurbished not written there online.

And refurbished means what exactly in your dictionary? In my dictionary, it means that the phone is perfect and has no issue after the repair.

U are living in self deception man. You cant possibly buy a new iPhone 6 at that cheap rate. An iPhone 6 cost more than that.

I managed to get the product that particular product page on jumia website and it wasn't stated refurbished.

My question is, how did the Josh guy come to the conclusion that the phone is refurbished? Even brand new phones get hot sometimes, so?

Different people asked him to supply the model number with which to confirm claims of it being refurbished on but he hasn't.

I did some digging, this is the phone imei 359226062852817

JUMIA is full of scammers. cant u read that he has been contacting them for 3 week? jumia does not always respond until u expose them. his coming online will surely put the owner of jumia on their feet.
