I've been scammed o by this alaba boys.there was a day i went to alaba to buy movies. Being a sucker for trendy movies i bought a lot of american and nollywood movies,everything worth around 5k.infact when i went there everything was doing kami kami kami in my eyes.the ibo man will say madam take this one na,madam select this one na,madam buy this one na.i don watch am,e sweet well well,me too,i will tell him oya put it inside nylon bag.he was so happy that day smiling at me cheerfully not knowing i have been swindled.i drove back home through the congested road.as soon as i got home changed my outfit and had my bath,dressed up and all i said to myself,let me now balance and watch these movies till i pay my dstv subscription fees that expired


as i sloted in one,it said error,i used my dress to clean the back of the cd,same thing,i took the second one,no show,the 3rd one same.i started getting agitated,i said ha shewa,otidaran.awon were omo ibo yi ti gba e.kilomashey bayi.still not convinced

i went to my room were i kept my laptop,plugged it and turned it on and slotted the disc into my laptop and the thing said empty disc.i put my hand on my head in shock and amazement.i was still dramatizing,saying awon oloriburuku yi ti gba mi.ye,5k jona.motu fun omo ibo ti aye e ma baje lowo.


The following day i drove back there.when i got there,i asked for the man in this shop and those around there said he has travelled.hope nothing madam.i saiddont worry.i got into the car.put my 1st finger into my teeth,still not getting over the fact that i have been swindled.infact,that thing pained me seriously,it entered my bones.meanwhile this is the 3rd time an ibo boy will swindle me.as a matter of fact, nothing will make me not believe many of them are not fraudsters and dubious characters
So sorry about that. We are not all like that.

Saw a beautiful wrist watch on aliexpress. Quickly order for it. The watch came and i was soooo excited. Imagine old man like me cheesy
Quickly removed the one i was wearing and don this new one. I love watches, perfume and good brogue shoes.
An hour later, i looked down at my wrist to see that my new watch has stopped working.
Took it to a repairer same day. The man said the engine is faulty.
Next day some design inside the watch came unhinged, stopping the minute/hour hands of the watch.
I cursed the Chinese seller and wished i could see him to beat his short frame

I once bought an Adidas sneakers only to find out later that what I bought was ABIBAS

I also bought a Nivea cream one certain time and noticed the fragrance wasn't same as my previous one so I looked carefully at the container and saw that the printing on the new one was fake

I bought Versace flipper last three years, was going to use it and boast around and the next day I found out they wrote made in ABA under it and was written as Verrsace.



The list goes on and on

Bought HTC one from a phone vendor, UK used, 28k. First the price was beyond the actual price, I'm very bad with pricing, lol and then the phone had sound issues. Chaii, on top 28k wey don exceed the normal price, i was livid.

I went back the following day coz they actually gave me warranty but they wouldn't refund me, lol. Na so dem ask me to come back the following week, that they'll change it for me. I did go back, I didn't like the replacement so i opted for another phone, HTC one x, the vendor said oga that one you go add money ooo. OK, how much? I ended up adding 7k, so he sold the phone for me 35k, i.e adding up the 28k for the previous.

I felt used but couldn't complain because na me carry my leg go there.

But why will your babe buy sth on Instagram to resell? People that will put like 10k on the normal price. She should have bought offline with quality, and gotten bigger gain.

she knows quality hairs. she gets them herself from tradefair.. we even went the last time to get them. yesterday's event was just different and awkward

Yes. It happened just yesterday! My babe bought a hair to resell for business. She got it at 24k from one of the online Instagram vendors. It was delivered to her and it was total crap.. Unfortunately, she wouldn't get a refund. And the seller stopped picking her calls. I was furious and pissed. and it turned out like I was blaming her, girls ehn undecided


Don't trust all these Instagram Vendors! They have flashy business pages. But what they deliver sometimes are crap!

You see those bed sheets wrapped, packed and sealed in nylon, of which you can't determine the quality till you go home and open it, don't ever buy that thing, or rather, buy at your own discretion.

Bought one, only to discover that the quality is on par with waterproof. That type they call ''madam sorry''.

Slept on the damned bed sheet, woke up this morning only to see that the flowery design it has, has been imprinted on my singlet angry

3k wasted!!

I quietly repackaged it, and gifted it to my neighbour; a Christian brother, who exhausted all his ''God bless you'' on me cheesy

Patiently waiting for him to sleep and wake up tomorrow morning. grin

I was very sick. So I got an over the counter drug for treatment. On the packet of the drug was an instruction to scratch and text its number to confirm whether the drug was original. So I scratched and texted and waited and waited and waited and waited... Well I got a confirmation reply after 24 hours. By then I for don kpeme if I kept waiting for a useless confirmation from a useless ministry in a fake country.
And you think I can't create a short code that can auto reply you? Get good and reliable store to buy your drugs next time.

I bought a so-called original NOKIA charger in a hurry one day from afar, only to notice that it was very slow while I was using it to charge my phone.

That was when i started inspecting it, then I discovered that the inscription written therein was NOKLA instead of NOKIA..
I was indignant angry

Funniest thread ever!!! How about buying a used Nokia phone only to insert sim and no network, even phone repairer can not repair it, I had to dash the repairer to use as spare part. 3k down the drain. Since then, I always buy new phones.
