Nigerian markets are filled with drama. Today i will like to share some of my annoying market experience.

1. Last year i was passing through the market but was blocked by an igbo man that i should come and buy his bedsheets, i told him i was just passing. While we were altercating another man came and met us that i should buy shoes from his shop i told them i was not interested. They both started dragging me each telling me to go to his shop i angrily told them to back off that they are harrassing me and they stop.

2. I went to buy shoes on a faithful day when a man told me he knows where i can buy correct shoes. He took me to the place and after buying the shoe, he told me the shoe can easy get spoiled that he will take me to the guy that will help me fix shoe nails for free. We went there and i ask the guy hope its free he said yes. After he added the shoe nails to my shoe he told me it was 1500 naira. I was flabbergasted and petplexed, i told him didnt he said it was free. He said he doesn’t like such nonsense thats it's the first one that is for free. Before i know many people gathered around because we were seriously quarelling. Then the initial man that brought me there said he will pay 1000 naira and i will pay the remaining 500naira i was angry. I just had to close my eyes and pay that money.

3. Another day i bought some pair of shoes and while coming back. A man who was sitting down was shouting bros, bros i am talking to you come and enter my shop. In my mind i was like "see this man o is it jazz you are using that will make you enter my shop.

So, whats your annoying market Experience?

I went for monthly shopping and spent over 100k on provisions and childcare items. Put them in a barrow and was following the barrow closely. Told him to wait while i buy cashew nut and he stopped. Took my eyes off him for maybe one minute and he dissapered. I searcher the whole mareket foor over 4hours, reported to market security . . . No sign of him.

That's how I lost everything I bought that day.

Had to come back the next day to buy the exact same items. So annoying and frustrating.

What a sad story!
This same issue of people disappearing with your goods or money happens at Computer Village a lot.
In Lagos markets, you just gats to SHINE YOUR EYES!!

At Alaba market when I started a mini business that time. Those Alaba boys realised that I was new in that environment from the way I speak normal English instead pidgin. I keep seeing them everywhere I go. Their sole aim was to rob me but at the end I went home without buying anything.. The following day I went there again still didn't buy anything until I realized that they are no longer following me. Then third day I bought my stuff and left 4 my state... Alaba is a very bad place to start buying stuff

My shopping experience is computer village...wen I went to buy a phone that is not working but use sugar month to tell me is working...carry me to different places, corner to prove to me...



Everybody na scam for dat village... Even my church member...

this thread go long... lemme park here..

Mine was a short but unforgettable one. Happened at Idumota, this Igbo guy dragged me and I had to lie to him I would patronise him on my way back.

But I was carried away and forgotten about him, I mistakenly passed the same route and before I could remember, I was already close to his shop. As I was trying to dodge him from seeing me.

The unexpected happened, I fell inside one gutter littered with plastics and nylons. Las las, na my friend(Igbo cloth seller) bring me out with a bleeding knee.

This is not annoying. But I remember many years back I followed my mum to the market to buy some things. The first thing we wanted to buy, the seller called about 1200 and guess how much my mum priced...N300. I was like Ok guess the most shocking part? She eventually got that thing for N350 after long haggling! I think Mothers have a grace for price haggling. Since that day I've been looking at that woman suspiciously that maybe she's using something in her mouth o lol. If I was the one that went alone, the best I can do is buy that thing N1,150 if I'm lucky. God bless Mothers!

funny

Ive had a lot of bad experience because im a risk taker

i prefer to wash plate than going to market with my mother

My problem is

I need a car for uber here in Abuja please if you've any or connection please link me
I will meet all the requirements and I've been driving on bolt for the past 1 year

Going to tejuoso with my mother as a teenager and those child molesters laughing and touching my waist or pulling my arm

I remember the first time I got scammed. Chaiiiiii. I was ajebo that time. I think I was around 14 or there about. I went to buy guava 4 market na him I see buy boxer short o wey them write 50 cent for waistband. I was like damn, this is lovely. I asked the guy how much. He said one mad price around N700 sha. I managed to price it to around 350 if I can remember well. For my mind, I had a good bargain. I think I bought 2 self. Only for to reach my street I now met one guy that said the stuff is N150. Haaaaa... Something I bought N350 each. So my first market someone will scam me N400 like that. Na him me and the guy go back o. Got back. Started speaking English. Baba come dey tell me say business is agreement. Say we agree to N350. He no even lie say no be N150. He talk say na me talk say I wan buy am N350. Ogbeni. So you dey talk say I cheat myself I just shake my head comot. I felt like a fool. I come dey blame myself why I even jam that my street guy. Shebi I for just dey feel myself say I buy correct boxer. But anytime I see that boxer, I go just start to dey think.

Ever since that day, I don't pity person if I want to price o. If you say 1k, I fit call 150. Let's start from there first.
