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

Share your experiences.

Lmaoooo. Funny narration. Best buy bedsheet materials and sew.

I like reading people's comments. I can't help myself with laughter. Now in honor of the comments I've read I want to write my own comment. It is very short and straight to the point and I hope it will make enough sense to you. My comment may not be all that interesting but I believe you are reading it with your full attention. You have read it to this point and I just want to encourage you to read it to the very end and to also thank you for successfully wasting your time since I have nothing to say

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!

I'm even tempted to mention the IG handle angry

24k keep? No good hair sells at that price except it's 8inches. Even the queen of sales wanneka on instagram sells 8inches 25k.

That's why I never do deliveries. I'll pick it up at your shop with receipt and guarantee.

We are not yet "there" when it comes to trust.

Please don't preach to me about ease and technology.

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
Lol...no need to curse the Chinese, you would have snapped the watch n dropped a dispute on their site, then your money would have been refunded that way

I was once crazy about an ear piece during my university days. I went to purchase one, and found one, it was the last stock available so I paid for it I decided to test it and it was fake, d sounds were almost silent, I told the seller oga this thing is fake argument start oya give me another one this one is not sounding out they said they don't have.

OK give me my money they say once money enters there hand it can't leave again.

From that day till now I have never bought anything from the road side again

This is the earliest of the early harvest season so the water content of the rice is still high just like in new yam.
The pressure of the border closure is making people to mill and sell rice they should've allowed to dry for some weeks.
Buy by early or mid December, you'll enjoy it.
Patronize my Abakaliki rice and you'll never go back to foreign rice.

Base Nd how much?

My PC keyboard stopped working. I needed to round up much work at that moment. So, i bought an external keyboard from Jumia.. The keyboard never last two weeks before the texts started fading. I was skeptical at the product when the delivery guy brought it to my office. He appeared like someone just returning from the farm.

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,oga select this one na,oga 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


Ibo boy this, Ibo boy that....yen yen yen, my friend better use ur head. As if your tribe is better....why didn't you ask the seller to play the CDs for you?

Dunno for now oo,not resident in d state.
As per d stone,d person who bought for /sold to you was trying to cut corners or maybe it wasn't sourced from the state capital where they have ultramodern destoning machines.
Destoning is just 100 or 200naira per 25kg.
I've never seen stone in the ones I've been eating in d last 15yrs and more.Just very few chaff which appears on the top of the water when you wash it,then you decant d chaff with the water.
