This thing na bullsh*t. They stole my guy's redmi note 8. He has a xiaomi account on it. They later caught the thief, he's has already flashed the phone and started using it. I used to think they can't use it but I was surprised lol

Did this happen recently?
My phone too was stolen with my Mi account on it, how did your guy track the phone, and how did the thief bypass the mi account

Mercyebere44:
I already went to Raya yesterday but they said there is nothing they can do that if i have a redmi account (Yes i Have) the person will be unable to flash it. Is there a way to track it? I still have the box and all the information (bought it in december)

I also lost my Redmi note 10 pro to pick pocket thieves 3 weeks ago.
Were you able to track your lost phone with the Mi accounton it?

My Redmi phone was stolen weeks ago, I don't want to lock it so that the thief can use it an be tracked. But my Mi account is on it, this won't allow access to the phone, even after flashing. So I'm considering to unlink my device from my Mi account (I.e delete/remove the phone from my Mi account) in order to give the new user access and then track him.
Is this advisable as I won't be able to monitor the phone via Mi account but can still monitor it with Google find my device.

Phone engineers in the house, after you flash xiaomi phones, does it require that you enter Mi account password before gaining access to the phone, or it does not?

It has been easy as it is written here but I have seen people ask if N600k can make any profit. Yes, it can. I also do some side hustles like research writing, proofreading, hardware repairs on PC and tracking of lost devices, computer consultancy, and work as an academic assistant.

Congratulations, May God continue to bless the work of your hands .
Can you help track a lost device?

He was caught in the act, good riddance to bad rubbish.

No victim would ever pity a thief, my 180k new Redmi phone was stolen from me 2 weeks ago, these people steal and put people in pain in this hard economy, they steal laptops, cars, new motorcycles and so on.

obawinner:
Alright, please leave a message when you eventually find it.

Will do, thanks

obawinner:

No
Ibadan

headbasher96:
So people now share bike with strangers if i may ask how many people are suppose to sit on a bike

Around here, bike men carry two passengers

Desperados:
OP, don't blame urself cos it can happen to anybody.



I remembered when i had almost same experience years back, i told my very closest friend and he laughed.
Just 2 weeks later, he experienced same tin and his own was twice in one week but he was wise at the second attempt.

He couldn't even tell me cos he was ashamed, i heard it frm his elder broda.




We just have to be wise and pray to God..



(drops pen).

Twice a week, that would have been too much

obawinner:
lock it.
Nothing to gqin if you leave it unlocked

I already pay police to help with the tracking and was told that would be possible when they insert sim and start using it, if I lock it, the thief won't use it and it will be gone forever. Thats what I'm considering. Thanks boss

My Redmi note 10 pro got stolen about 2 weeks ago, and all efforts to know the location through find device on Mi account was fruitless, it's only showing my own last location and Google find my device is also also showing my own last location and saying can't reach device.

I already reported at the police station and they say my phone will be tracked whenever sim is inserted to it, but I'm thinking the user may not have access to my phone not to talk of inserting sim even after flashing because of MIUI security, I assume it will still ask for my MI account password before gaining access to home page that's base on what I read.

If that's true, do I need to wipe my data off the phone to give the thief access or it's not necessary, can he gain access without me wiping my data off the phone?


I will like to hear from people who had lost their xiaomi phones to thieves and how they recover it, kindly tell me. It may help me or someone else here.

I have Mi account on it and it's showing my last location ever since then. I don't want to lock it yet in hope that I may find it

obawinner:
sorry similar thing happened to me, it was like they used jazz cos I'm self aware anytime I'm out. Why don't you lock it on iCloud. I did for mine and it's now at sokoto from Lagos

This is why I blamed myself, I too mumu for them, I suppose don japa as the bike stopped. I learnt my lesson

Cokahot:

Yommychrz:

I learnt my lesson

Tokskob2008:
Always have it at the back of your mind that any time you step out of your house you are heading towards the jungle so you need to be extra vigilant on the street at all times.

"Bro pls can I see you for a minute"
"Sorry can you show me where so and so is"
"Bro holy spirit directed me to tell you"

All this and many more are all formats...

shilenji:
Your face no strong enough.

You're right, I have a cool gentle face, I need to take a lesson on how to maintain strong face

I understand you, but who else could I blame if not myself, I was fooled, and I fell for their trick, so painful.

chatinent:
It's not your fault, bro. Don't blame yourself. They all got it planned out.

These are one of many reasons to tell you how evil humans are. Humans are ready to cause another human intense pain if it will make them happy.

I'm so sorry.


When I first came to PH. The busstop of the place I stayed had a battalion of beggars. One day, I tipped a beggar ₦500 after he narrated his sorry story. My friend reprimanded and told me how he doesn't give any of them shishi and that they all are career beggars.

I no dey hear word.

Another time, I was sharing ₦100 each to the grownups. Could you believe these pastards had to guts to steal my Google Pixel? Google Pixel wey I buy don dey feel say I don dey complete gadgets wey I need.


They all saw me as Onyeoma CY.

I saw so angry. I was no weary. But I had to let it go since I realised it was missing when I was on the way.


Another time I was to ply that route, I didn't even give a damn to any of them. I noticed one who came and told his story and all that, I bone. As the motor was about to leave, I say make I turn back...if you see the kind waka this man wey no dey see or hear dey give me eh.

Mehn. 99% of beggars in parks are career beggars. And the remaining 1% left because they also know the rest have made them look like thieves.

darling2222:
Just really touching
Mind you this is Nigeria, everyone needs to be security conscious

Fact

lexy20I4:
Your mumu no too much?
Why you dey enter bike with stranger so try you dey join to push bike.
It was all your fault,you never followed your instinct.

I mumu truly, and I'm regretting it now

It's normal for bike men to carry two passengers here, which means you and a stranger

I agree with you, they don't deserve any pity, a man was telling me how his new bike was stolen, imagine the pain the struggling man will go through.

MadamVanessa:



It's only a complete fool and idiot that kick against jungle justice or wail when mob action is carryout on this useless idiotic thieves. The day they will fall victim and see how this thieves treat them with no iota of mercy that's when they'll realize how good jungle justice is.

Any thief caught and loose all my car Tyres and give for the idiot to be burn to ashes.

I'm writing this with the hope that anyone who reads this won't fall victim like me.
It all happened around 11 AM on the morning of Saturday 23rd of April, 2022.

I was standing at point A looking for a bike to ride with, one bike man then signal to me asking if I was going, I nod in affirmative, told him my destination (Point C) and as I was about to climb the bike, another guy came, he said he's going to point Z, which is the last bus stop on that route. So he sat behind me and the bike moved.

Just after riding a little, the bike stopped at point B, the rider pretended as if the bike developed a fault and it's not the first time such would be happening, so he already knew how to resolve it.

I and the other supposed passenger alighted asking what happened to the bike, the rider then asked us to help him lift the bike a little at the back. While trying to lift the bike, I was holding my phone ( a new Redmi Note 10 PRO 8/128GB), the supposed passenger told me to keep the phone in my pocket so I could lift it well, I then kept the phone in the left pocket of my trouser, whereas the guy was at my right side, the rider then ask me to come and lift the bike at the right side, while moving to the right side, I removed the phone from my pocket and held it, the fellow passenger told me to keep the phone in my pocket so we could raise it Well and the bike could start. I returned the phone to my left pocket. My left pocket is now directly by his right unlike the first time when no one was at the left side where I kept the phone.

Immediately I dropped my phone to lift the bike, the other passenger had joined the rider on bike and they zoomed off instantly, they've successfully carried out their plans.
I sensed Immediately they are thieves working together and my phone is surely gone, I touched my pocket, the phone was nowhere to be found.


All these happened within 1 minute, I was already feeling uncomfortable with those guys even before the bike stopped, their look and appearance tell it all, but i ignored my instinct, as I had no idea the passenger that joined me on bike is an accomplice to the rider.

Can't imagine how I was successfully tricked, and I was foolishly lifting bike like they spoke to me with jazz.

My shout of thief as they were going was fruitless, bikes coming behind had passengers, the one without passenger said he can't follow them after telling him those guys are escaping with my phone, another bike that stopped by also said he can't chase after them.

The few people that gathered near me discouraged me from following them, saying we don't know where they might be going, and they may have weapons on them too.

They stole my phone successfully, I'm yet to get over the pain, no hope of getting another phone yet. Is it this 33k corper's allawee that will buy me another phone?Words can't describe my feelings, that phone is now around #200k.

I used to pity thieves before, anywhere I see people beating thief now, don't think i can ever feel any iota of pity for them anymore.
Guys, don't entertain strangers at all and stay vigilant 24/7.
Never fall for this kind of scope or similar formats.

Ajiswaggs:

I just completed orientation camp and redeployed to Oyo state, I need a PPA in Ibadan.
Kindly help if there's a vacancy at your end.

FairlyUSEDpussy:

Baba.......go and teach i taught during my nysc days joor........

I would love to but I'm introverted, I can't shout. I don't see myself as a good teacher

I'm one of the 2021 batch B stream 1 corps members that just completed the 3 weeks orientation camp.
I was posted to Kebbi State but redeployed to Oyo state.
It is a known fact that a very large percentage of corpers in Oyo State are posted to schools, and I don't want to teach, I therefore need a place of primary assignment in Ibadan that will give me a request letter to take to the NYSC secretariat to avoid being posted to school.
I reside around Airport, Alakia area of Ibadan.
Kindly help if you need a corps member in your organization.

Orlaoluwayimika:
Yeah

At the mention of SUB and the way the case was handled, I knew it's OAU

Macktaob:
OAU?

My friend experienced a similar accusation in our part one days.
Those guys at SUB no dey chill at all.

SUB is now a shadow of itself now

What a ridiculous price, that's extortion
