My most recent encounter was the one with Konga where I bought a fake system.
The merchant claimed sey na new, I called Konga, they always promise 24hrs that never materialize, I eventually called them out Twitter after 12days, they resolved my complaints less than 48hrs after calling them out.

Once bought a tecno phone that lasted just 3 months and I am not kidding. The initial emotion that crept up on me was anger which was contradicted by the tears that threatened to escape in all its glory. Since then, I have loathed all things tecno. The company is a fraud...

**Now just angry**

After my experience with phantom A. I swore never again will I touch a techno phone

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.

We bought from Everyday Emporium in ph.

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, be like spaghetti wey never done.

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
You are tempted to mention the IG handle so that others will also get swindled...expose the 419 joor

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.

How much?

I've had my share of bad buys o.

I once got a dress from someone who brought to our office to sell. Dress was supposedly sent to her from Turkey o. I sha saw this nice dress at a bargain of 8k. Normal me knows how to UnCloth mannequins in eko off lovely dresses o. Anyways, first day I wore it, my nails had some unexplained reddish look. I didn't think it was the dress, my thought was that I must have touched something...

Anyways, because I wore it for only a couple of hours, I decided to wear again before washing. That's how I wore it to work on a raining day. Let's just say my undies, skin, nails and the tiles in my office turned red. It was bleaching like someone poured red paint on. I had to gather papers, stand ontop of it and under the AC to get dry. It was like a punishment cos I kept shivering and colleagues kept coming to see the wonder. Eventually, I took advantage of it by threatening to hug anyone that didn't do whatever I asked to be done grin

The physical traits was so obvious.
Paint residue on the silver glass in the hp logo, some stickers have been removed, gum residue on the system, some stickers were replaced with cut to size photocopied paper, etc.
