Technology MarketRe: House Clearance Sales.. Come In Here!!!! by dialinn: 4:17pm On Aug 24, 2019
This is the receipt given to me. During my visit to the shop on 11 August 2019, the shop owner (Osas) obliged to give me another used laptop and I declined stating I was not interested anymore (based on the problems with the one they gave me) as I wanted a brand new laptop. He said he doesn't sell brand new laptops. Osas personally wrote on the receipt that I was to be refunded on or before end of this month. I complained that iming was too long and that I needed a makeshift laptop urgently to cover the gap while I waited till month end and he obliged. The makeshift laptop is to be returned as soon the refund is made. Please read carefully and see all what is written on the receipt word for word.

Oga, don't complicate issues here. The guy has apologized. What we need now is for Mr dialinn to confirm whether he was refunded or not.
I wasnt going to post any documentary evidence here before but just to prove to everyone that all what I have said is true and all what Kinglee has said are all desperate lies calculated to cover his insincerity and questionable character ecuase he has finally been exposed, I will post documentary evidence for everyone to see. Please read carefully and arrived at your own conclusions.

You really are something else Mr. Dialinn. In the first place you didn't give me ONE NAIRA but the so called Mr Osas (whom I haven't met physically though). If I was to pay back any money to anyone, certainly not to you. Earlier when you quoted someone who sympathized with you, you said the laptop packed up after 3 days and you also did a test run before you made payment. What is the guarantee that the laptop didn't develop that fault within the three days in your hand? You said you went to the place with the laptop instead it was a Policeman you sent to the place with the laptop and the laptop was returned. I also got confirmation that your money was returned. Are you going to deny that too? It now leaves me to ask, WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I don't understand.
I'm not going to bother joining issues with you any further. There's really no need cause you are not a straight forward person for the purpose of this platform and[b] I have done what I am supposed to do as a responsible member of the society which is to let people know who you really are on this group so that they are extremely careful when dealing with you going forward. I have done that and I'm satisfied.[/b] You can keep ranting if you wish to continue.

Not everyone does this and that's because they take advantage of the fact that this is a faceless forum. Fine you dealt with me directly and that's because I was the one that posted the ad you saw that got your attention. But, and I repeat, YOU NEVER PAID MONEY INTO MY ACCOUNT. Else, my name would have rung a bell when I mentioned it earlier here. My name is IKECHUKWU NDUKWU. If you check the transfer you did, you would see the name does not tally at all. You got very upset and said you wanted your refund (which was very fine by me at least it will clear the air if bad reputation on my part towards you) and God knows I asked the seller but, he refused. He even asked if he was to return the money, would I be willing to return the commission I got from the sales? Hell yeah!!! I was more than ready to do that. The worst thing that a man can encounter in his life is if he's tagged a bad person wherever he finds himself. It grows into a stigma and I don't want that for myself. I told you the money could not be refunded but bring it to the office and the problem will be resolved. YOU REFUSED AT MANY TIMES!!! Threatening me that you'll spoil me on the social media platform. I sent you the guys number even though he, (the seller) refused to give me his number. I suspected something fishy and decided to give you his number telling you that I won't be around of which I wasn't cos of my sister's burial. You didn't respond then not until WEEKS later you told me that you'll be going there. Of course it was already too late for me to start saying "ah Oga no vex o, I be middleman for the business". No!!! I had to find a way to turn the lemon to a lemonade even if at first, it looked like an orange. And you went. You didn't call me to say this is what I did or what transpired between you two over there. Not until now that I made another post. I'm not too surprised you didn't get your money back cos the seller always said it that he could not do a refund which seemed very strange to me. That was why I told you to go there so that you could figure it out yourself.
Wait o, so you mean you gave them your laptop without collecting a dime or another laptop to replace the one they earlier sold to you? Look let me advice you. I noticed you have quite a temper, maybe it comes with the paranoia of online scam. Maybe it's just you. Either way, you need to apply Wisdom in all you do in this life. When I told you to go to the office when the deal was still in it's prime, maybe we wouldn't be here today. But you were very angry and threatening me. I took it in good faith though because I knew I had seriously f***up here because of the seller I dealt with. Then again, you said you didn't have time maybe it's cos of the nature of your work (which I don't know) but I understood regardless. But, you had someone you could send as at that time, your IT technician whom I spoke with over the phone. He would have been in the best position to go but no. I have publicly apologized and will still try my best to talk to the seller who hasn't responded to my chat lately. What else do you want me to do Oga. If I was a fraud, God knows I won't have time for all this "long epistle" (as you called it). No. I believe in rooting out bad eggs and we're actually progressing in getting some scammers that Scammed some people here lately. And by God's grace we will do. Mr. Dialinn, the best I can do is what I have told you and that's finding a way to sort out this issue with the seller (if I get a positive response though). As for paying you 50k from my pocket, it's not gonna happen bro. I can't give back what I never took. The 3k commission I got from the sales is what I was given and nothing more.
Now, let me tell you something. Do you know, I had every chance to take that 50k? Yes. I could have given you a my personal account details or someone's else when you were requesting for an account to make the payment and the story go end there. But I didn't. Why? Because of TOMMOROW. Na because of 50k i go collect curse? Abeg o! I don't want such for me or my kids. Life is meant to be enjoyable and not regrettable. I'm sorry once again for my involvement in this deal but, it was never my intention to hurt you in anyway.
Oya start your redemption by first returning the 3k you claim you received. I have just forwarded my bank account details to you via whatsapp just now.

Sorry for what you are going through but next time never pay until u hv tested d product u r buying, this is Lagos where no one value integrity.
Make deals in open places and do background check too
Once again sorry for the issue
Thanks for your concern but in my case, it was tested ok and packed up after 3 days. Imagine!

Meanwhile, Kinglee's delivery guy waited right at delivery location for it to be tested and for payment to be confirmed by Kinglee before leaving the premises.

So in this case, how's one supposed to do as per your advice on testing before payment?

I saw this coming. Well, I guess I better clear the air before the stench gets stronger. Hello everyone, my name is Ikechukwu Ndukwu and I go by the Moniker kinglee007 here on Nairaland. Been a member since 2009 and till date have had no regrets. Sometime ago, I stumbled across this post https://www.nairaland.com/5160549/online-sales-reps-needed
and decided to apply and make it a side hustle. The guy in question was going to offer 3k for every sales I make. Seemed nice and cool. So I went in, got some laptop specs and pix from him, posted it here and what do you know, I got a customer. Which happened to be the Man with the monicker Mr. dialinn. We talked and I convinced him that I was the owner of the laptop I posted. Something I did to get his attention and his trust because I believed I was also dealing with a trustworthy person who happened to be the seller. This was my first and costly mistake (me not telling the buyer that I was not the original owner but a middleman). Arrangements were made and the laptop was to be delivered. On getting there, what the buyer saw online was different from what he was being given. He called me in anger and expressed his displeasure with me. I apologised so much with him and queried the seller. He (the seller) gave flimsy excuse as to why he sent that particular laptop. He said, he thought that was what the buyer wanted. I told him how he (the seller) and I went over various chats as to what the buyer needed and you're telling this trash? I told him to give the buyer what he wants and I will try my best to convince him (the buyer). After much begging, Mr. Diallin accepted and reconsidered going ahead with the deal. Another laptop was delivered and I was quite happy. Not until I was called by Mr. diallin that the hard disk has issues. I got tired and pissed. That period, I just lost my younger sister and since I'm a senior son, I had to do everything possible to make the burial arrangements (something I never planned for). Mr. diallin wanted a refund of his money. I called the Seller and told him. He refused to make a refund and said the best he can do, is for Mr.Diallin to bring the laptop to the office so that they can see what they will do. With all the issues with the laptop and my sisters sudden death and burial arrangements, I forwarded the sellers number to Mr.Diallin and told him to contact the person when he gets to the office because I was not in town. I tried reaching the seller and told him to give me the actual address to the office. He didn't, instead he said when the buyer gets to "The Arena shopping complex" at Oshodi, he should call one number. I wasn't ok with this so I had to forward his personal number to Mr.Diallin. It took a while for Mr.diallin to go because of the nature of his job but he eventually chatted me up after a while and told me he was going to the place. I told him to call the number I gave him when he gets there. And from there, we are here now.
Mr. diallin, I sincerely apologise publicly here to you about whatever must have happened. I never had any intention to do anything that will make you see me as someone without intergrity. God knows I just wanted a side hustle and nothing more. I didn't know it will turn sour eventually. If it were my personal goods (just like the one I'm posting now), you wouldn't have any issues. Putting up my real name here on a faceless forum should prove to you a bit that I don't believe in shady deals. One who does not fear God has nothing to lose. I fear him and would not want to lose an intergrity I have built over the years here on Nairaland. Once again, I sincere and deeply apologise for a deal that didn't go well with you. We learn from our mistakes and this one was a great lesson. If you decide on your heart to forgive me, I will be more than grateful but, if you feel I'm not worth your forgiveness, I understand and won't take it to heart. God bless you.
It's funny how you had all the time in the world to write this long epistle but didn't bother to ask me if I have received my full refund of 50k as of this time. You are still very much involved in this deal and cannot remove yourself even if you wanted to. This is because I communicated majorly with you and you deliberately withheld important information from me. I even paid the 50k purchase price into your personal account. I have since returned the faulty laptop to Osas - the original owner.

If you really want to redeem your image based on your story above, make sure I get my full refund from your pocket and that of Osas. I haven't received a kobo as of today.

This refund is the singular biggest act expected of you to guarantee that your integrity and image reverts to being INTACT.

Sefini!

Mr. Kinglee, i think it is extremely important for you to disclose to the public that you are merely a middle man/agent of the real owner/seller of the products you post on this platform. This I know having dealt with you personally and having an unpleasant experience dealing with you until I eventually met with the real owner/seller who promised to sort me out.

@ everyone, please take serious note of the above before dealing with Mr. Kinglee.

After waiting endlessly for feelers from walter carrington
Braced up and went for my 221G.

Firstly submitted in april got 221G mid june and got date for july.

My visa was approved.

My interview was very long.
Had to explain my discount,why i dint have itemized bill, my job, no financial documents were asked just prev bills and hospital i plan using.

Alot of pink papers everywhere as people walked out pink,while people were in with u pink paper really crazy.
Congratulations. Nice one.

Please need some insight from your experience. Submitted since 2 May 2019 and got 221g letter on 20 June 2019 and since then no date for 221g interview date. I have called and sent email reminders to no avail.

Questions:

1. How were you able to get your interview date after receipt of 221g letter? Was it scheduled via your account on www.ustraveldocs.com or by email or by phone?

2. How come it took that long from mid June to get an interview date of July 2019. Thought 221g interviews are given priority for example last 221g interview date for my spouse was 48hours after receipt of 221g letter.

Please share.

Thanks a lot

Background

Since 2014, a close friend of mine who had relocated to Calgary, Canada in 2013 had been telling me about getting on-board the Canadian relocation train but I consistently ignored him. This was because I was a firm believer in the Nigerian “dream” (if there is any such thing o grin). Anytime, I spoke to my friend on the phone or anytime he visited naija, he consistently kept mentioning it and I consistently kept ignoring it. Sincerely, I felt my family and I were doing very well in naija to the glory of God and just didn’t see any reason why we should even think about relocating talk less of actually relocating.

While I continued to ignore my friend’s persistent relocation talk, I took serious note of the sharp decline in the living standard of naija as a whole embarassed. In my quiet moments, I seriously wondered. The nonsensical things (inclusive of the monumental stealing and looting of our common resources) and omissions by naija politicians also didn’t help matters at all.

Things reached a climax, when in June 2016, we lost our 22week old baby after trusting God for the fruit of the womb for five years+ cry. In our view, the loss was due to the unprofessional and negligent acts and omissions of one of the so-called big hospitals in Lagos lipsrsealed. Unfortunately, our planned travel to the US for our baby’s birth was still a month and half away when the complications started. I had to change hospitals to save my baby. I was also hurriedly advised to move our flight to the US forward but lo and behold, we had lost our baby before any step could be taken. My family and I were extremely devastated and at this point, I started conceiving the thought of creating a second option for my family and I.

Fast forward to April 2017, a lot of nonsense continued to happen in naija. I continued to observe with disdain and anger at the entire system, the lack of love and compassion amongst naija folks which I had since concluded was the MAJOR reason why naija was in a mess and the foundation of all our problems. In April 2017, we visited Canada for the first time i.e. Calgary, Alberta on vacation and stayed with the same friend who had always been trying to convince us to consider relocating to Canada. We enjoyed our stay in Calgary and actually loved the place. I recall making a comment that Calgary was like a “saner” version of the places we had been to in the US. We also visited Edmonton and enjoyed the experience as well. Our friends in Edmonton also lent their voice to the relocation call. In fact, every family friend or acquaintance we met or spoke to while in Canada had something to say about the benefits of creating that second option for our family. While in Calgary, spouse and I took advantage and opened joint bank accounts in TD Canada Trust and Scotiabank for the ease of doing international transactions if need be. Based on the planned commencement of EE, we knew that the bank accounts would come in handy should we eventually move to Canada. We also asked for credit cards but were denied on the basis that we had no history whatsoever in Canada. Eventually, our minds were fully made up and at the end of our stay, I told my friend that we would commence the process immediately upon return to naija.

IELTS, ECA and EE Pool

Kai, [/i]IELTS show my spouse pepper no be small o grin! Highlights are as follows:

LRWS

Spouse:

1st: 29 July 2017: 7, 6, 7, 7.5

2nd: 2 June 2018 – LRWS: 8.5, 9, 7, 8 (passed)


ECA

True to my word, we registered for WES on 1 May 2017 after return to naija. Unknown huhto me at the time (having not discovered nairaland), IQAS should have been the place to go as spouse and I are both lawyers. After all the stress with getting transcripts from UNILAG, Law School and OSU, all the expenditure, spouse got her WES ECA on 28 December 2017 while mine came in on 27 April 2018. An error was made on my WES ECA as my last name was wrongly spelt. A revised ECA was eventually issued on 19 October 2018. For refund of HST paid to WES, the Canadian bank account we opened came in handy as our refunds were processed straight into our Scotiabank account.

EE POOL

We entered the pool on 28 April 2018 with WES ECA and our CRS was 376. I was like [i]“na wah o!”
after all the wahala. We were determined though and started thinking of ways to boost CRS and eventually decided to process IQAS based on the professional degree assessment for lawyers which rank equivalent with Masters degree. Kai, I felt I had dealt with WES for nothing sha and wasted money. Nothing spoil as we immediately initiated the IQAS process on 1 May 2018 and after another round of stress with UNILAG and OSU (Law School excluded this time), spouse ECA came on 25 September 2018 while mine came on 28 September 2018. With the IQAS ECA, our CRS was still lurking around 396 and by time I checked, we noticed that spouse’s IELTS was the problem. We both had to get the minimum LRWS (8777) in IELTS to enable us move further ahead. While I had achieved this, spouse was yet to. To make sure spouse stood a better chance, I literally turned to an IELTS teacher coaching day after day and night after night plus weekend even after having long days at work. We even registered for two IELTS exams back to back. Eventually, after 7 attempts at IELTS, spouse eventually passed the 6th and 7th ones. Thank God. With the new IELTS result, CRS shot up to 453 cool.

ITA

14 November 2018 was the expected draw date but for some reason, IRCC had other plans. The draw eventually took place on 15 November 2018 and we received ITA that day.

Medicals

With faith, we had booked with Q-life ahead of time for 15 November 2018 and had gone for medicals that same day. So we did our medicals same day we got ITA. 76k for 2 adults and a baby.

PCC

We got in touch with Inspector Fatai for this. We did everything on 9 November 2018 and received a few days later. Process was straight forward and simple. 4k each.

POST ITA

We gathered all our documents and uploaded same. It took us over a month to gather all documents:
Passports: uploaded my naija passport and that of my spouse. For our baby, we uploaded naija and US passports. Also uploaded all visa pages and stamped pages.
Work Experience: for me and spouse, uploaded reference letters in IRCC format. Spouse and I had experiences well in excess of 3 years each and worked in 2 different organisations each all our lives. Reference letters were easy to obtain even from our former places of employment.
Passport Photos: we used existing photos we had.
Medicals: uploaded the forms given to us at Q-Life
Education: Uploaded IQAS ECA, IELTS TRF and degree certificates.
Name change: uploaded marriage certificate and newspaper publication evidencing name change
POF: uploaded ARM Mutual funds letter in IRCC format
PR & RPRF & Biometrics Fee: paid in full for 2 adults and a baby. Canadian bank cards came in handy here too.
LOE: Provided Oanda currency converter information to show CAD equivalent of Naira with ARM, consent letter for access to POF and explanation of some transactions that led to POF

AOR

We submitted on 21 December 2018 and received acknowledgment same day.

Post AOR

BIL/MEP

The waiting game started. We knew BIL/MEP would most likely come first after 30 to 45 days post AOR based on the trend so didn’t really pay attention to the process during this period. my family and i were in Kassel, Germany at the time when we received BIL and MEP on 31 January 2019 and were scheduled to travel a while through Europe. Since we were not scheduled to return to naija until 18 February 2019, we decided to check and find a VFS office close by in Europe where we could do our biometrics. We eventually found one in Paris, France. Interestingly, the VFS in Paris was located very close to our hotel so on the morning of 4 February 2019, we simply strolled to the VFS office and waited for them to open shop. My people, even folks for France too wan take off to Canny o shocked. Before VFS Paris opened shop for that day, see as people don plenty outside dey wait for them to open all because of this Canny waka. I just whispered to spouse while waiting that “se you see say even europeans dey into this Canny waka sha, how much more naija peeps”. In about an hour or so, we were done. By evening, profile had already been updated that biometrics was completed.

Follow up Action

While we waited for PPR, I occasionally checked our account for any update but there was none. By faith, we knew that it was only a matter of time. Talking about faith again, since September 2018, we had scheduled an exploratory trip to Toronto in March 2019 even before PPR since this is where we want to settle down finally in Canada. So we landed in Toronto on 29 March 2019 for a couple of weeks. We toured different parts of Toronto and its suburbs and made a lot of enquiries in relation to our proposed settlement and career paths. Oh my word! the exploratory visit really really paid off based on the discoveries we made particularly with regard to my spouse's business venture. You see my spouse doesnt intend to work for anybody but wants to set up and run a business from Toronto as the base of operation.

While in Toronto, I decided to put a call through to IRCC and found out on 2 April 2019 that Eligibility Passed, Criminality and Security in progress. With this, I knew there was major progress. Towards the end of our stay, called IRCC again on 21 April 2019 and Eligibility passed reconfirmed, Criminality passed and Security in progress. With this latest update, I knew there was further progress. We returned to naija on 23 April 2019.

Application/Profile Update

On 24 April 2019, I checked our account and saw application/profile updated. As usual, there was no change in application updates. With this, I knew PPR was close. Two days later on 26 April 2019, called IRCC and was informed that PPR mail had been sent via mail since 24 April 2019 (date I saw the ghost update). On 29 April, 2019, I sent Ottawa VO an email and raised CSE on the expected PPR. On 3 May 2019, called IRCC again and agent reconfirmed that PPR was sent on 24 April 2019. IRCC agent also advised that he would ask relevant office to resend PPR mail. CSE response came in advising that it was being worked on and should be expected on or before 2 June 2019. Eventually decided to wait till whenever we received it. In the midst of all this, we commenced process of renewing spouse’s US visa via drop box and submitted passport to US Embassy via DHL.

PPR

Lo and behold, PPR mail dated 6 May 2019 was received today 7 May 2019 @ 12:44am while we busy snoring away grin. We have raised CSE to notify IRCC that spouse's passport is currently with US Embassy and requested for an extension of time within which to submit our passports. Also attached documentary evidence of this position.

By the way, in 2018, God wiped away our 2016 tears by blessing us with the most beautiful baby girl any parent could ever ask for. She and her siblings to come were also part of the reason why we became even more determined to achieve our Canny objective as the way naija is currently going, i really dont understand huh lipsrsealed.

Thank you all for the free information here. With all the free information I got from this platform, I must give back anyhow anyway I can. Somewhere during this journey, somebody tried to get me to engage a consultant and pay fees in forex. I said for wherehuh With all the free info I have on nairalandhuh Unless I no go school and I no sabi read grin. Thanks to all once again. It was really insightful and helpful at no cost whatsoever for that matter. Just read dasall! wink

May we achieve all our Canny objectives and much more now and in the future.

We appreciate

Bless!

When IRCC said you should inform them of changes in your family configuration, it wasn't a suggestion. You don't have a choice in the matter, if you hide it, they will find out, revoke your PR status, slap you with a ban and ship you back to Nigeria.
Please raise that CSE asap and go hunting for the extra POF
Gbam! and direct to the point. A word is enough for the wise.

I strongly agree with this.

There’s this surge in rejection cases due to NOC mismatches. Guys please do not rush to submit your applications if you’re not certain of your selected NOC. Feel free to post your job duties or send me a PM so we review, align and select the appropriate NOC. I’m at your service wink

Nice one, it should come out positive, just wait it out and be hopeful. Please let the house know the feedback. Thanks


Je m'appelle Ramj
Hi ramj et all, my brother's ECA was assessed as BSC only irrespective of the pre degree statement of result. It was done by iqas. Not sure if it would have made a difference if he had a certificate for the pre degree or if the ECA was done by Wes or ices?

Congratulations to everyone who has recorded some form progress through this entire journey up to PPR. I rejoice with you.

Edited
The race for 2 or more certificates no be here o. [s]Maybe you should be the first to find out[/s](I was advised the same sometimes ago, and it worked out positive) , if you could get transcript and certificate for the pre degree.
[s]But, I don't think they're considered 2 certs.[/s]
Ramj used WES for pre degree
Hey Shyee, interested in this info too. My brother was able to get his pre-degree statement of result (not certificate) and transcript and sent both (along with bsc certificate and transcript) to Iqas. Hoping iqas assesses as 2 or more certificates. Any thots?
