@ Poster

Glad to hear your phone was returned.  It goes to show not all nigerians are dubious.  There are not few but still many good ppl in naija.

Oga driver and passenger if you are reading, well done!

There'r still people in Nigeria. I pick up phone in my office several times and return to the owners without expecting any gitf from them. But i've lost two of my phones in the same office, could u believe that? for real.

One of my friend lost her phone and someone adviced her to consult and native doctor, so when i saw the topic i thought its something similar to Juju.  shocked

You lost your phone in this our 9ja and you later got it back! You are very lucky because if I were the one that got the phone. I will use up your credit and take the phone to Sabo for quick sale. At least with that, I will have additional money to shack up by weekend. I pray I find a phone like N95

I have lost mine 3 times and it was returned twice. the third one gone for good. And those returned are not 3310, but the one not returned is 3310.

1. Samsung - 54k - glo sim - forgotten in a cab at owerri - recovered
2. Samsung - 25k - glo sim- forgotten in a cab at Lagos - recovered
3. nokia 3310 - 8k - MTN sim - forgotten in a cab in Lagos - not recovered.

The fact remains that if you phone falls into a wrong hand whether 3310 or n80, you will not recover it, but if it falls a good hand whether 3310 or even motorola talk about, you will recover it. It has nothing to do with the brand of phone or even the cost, but the person that picked it.

Who say there are still good people in Nigeria? It's like saying there are few good people.

I say there are many good people in Nigeria, majority of Nigerian people are good.

20% of Naija pple were still honest till 2020, the remaining 80% are trying to frustrate them to join them or die in poverty.

@akins4
Didn't you read d message by Texazpee before running your mouth on Oprah winfrey. Have you verified your story before abusing her? It's people like u that damage the image of Nigeria and start crying later when it's pointed out to them, or do you think it is only Nigerians that view Nairaland. We should be very care of the languages we use on people.

Re: I Lost My Phone But It Was Returned! by femib26(m): 12:23pm On Aug 06, 2007

@ Poster

Frankly there are good people in nigeria. -But what kind of phone are we talking about here ? Product,Model,Price etc


I thought thats the question we should all ask the poster. Tho there are good ones in our country
Re: I Lost My Phone But It Was Returned! by sagacious(f): 3:56pm On Aug 06, 2007
Anyway! it's not so expensive, it was just 18K when i bought it and not up to 3months, but i bought this phone with the money i sweat for, so you can imagine. Imagine! the passengers picked it and give to the driver, if not that she is God fearing, she would have gone with it and only God can question her for that. You know the impression it gives when we talk about Ibadan commercial cab drivers especially Iwo road driver, well Thank God we still have good people among them , and for we NAIRALANDERS please let be good in whatever we are doing and God fearing.Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E fit be correct machine oh
Re: I Lost My Phone But It Was Returned! by seun001(m): 6:49pm On Aug 08, 2007
don't konw ooo!!! but think i get the scenerio.3 to 4 people saw the phone together ,looked each other in the face saw that the other person face hard oooo!!!can't make a deal with this one oooo.them fit kill me with matchet.so  they corroborate,give it to the driver with each telling the driver 'make sure you return it to the owner,i dey pass ere everyday ooo,so i go check if the owner don come collect am.they left!!

driver sees that e b like say those people mean business ooo!!them fit machet me because of jagbajantis phone ooo!!abeg make the owner call make i return the phone jooo!!finito.


na lie ooo!!gues my reconstruction is deficient but imagine the phone was in vibrate or the phone did not ring until everybody left the car am sure the phone would have left with someone.or nobody saw it but the driver with nobody there.ummmm,am wondering.



ok,my phone was missing in a bus,and it was returned by the driver the next day,u can imagine my thankfulness,even ensured the driver got something in return but people were in the bus with him when the phone was discovered but was really grateful he decided to return it.twas a samsung d500 and i had a lot of info in it.fact is i had already given up hope,i did lost it.


its funny how u get warped views on this forum,it was never confimed Oprah said anything about all nigerians and some are still hating,in another thread!!haba,wheres your sense of reasoning.chei!!

simply_me:

depends - maybe it is a rapatitious, broken, battered - nin compoop looking phone - and to say - rageddy raggedy phones - may be.

am sure we can do better than this kind of phones in naija abi,looking at the words sef,am afaid to imagine,
