Evening to all reputable peoples here. Forgive me of this my lengthy write up but I'm here to seek advice on how to go about the ugly situation I found myself in. I've been an ardent follower of this thread since it's inception but I rarely comment as I assumed by age I'll be the youngest here and as I was brought up, when elders are talking, the young ones only listen and learn.
In relation to the link I posted up, I contact the seller of the said phone in order to get the phone as the current one I was using had started malfunctioning ever since I changed the screen month ago. The seller is located at Ado-ekiti as he said while I'm based in Ibadan, after agreeing on price as he said he needed the money urgently for his children school fees, I asked of how to go about payment and delivery, he said I'll have to pay first which I didn't agree to, I suggest we make use of a reputable nairalander as an escrow which he didn't subscribe to. I didn't follow up again as that was a red flag for me, he claimed to be honest that he didn't need an escrow for his service. Just last weekend, we got back to talking when he questioned about how I won't run off with the phone without paying, I told him that it won't be the first time I'll be getting things online, he asked me for any means of identification which I told him I have none as I'm just seeking admission to UI and my workplace doesn't have one but I provided him my NIN. He later told me that (omo ìyá mi ni e -i.e I'm also his kin being a Yoruba boy). He agreed to send the phone after which I'll pay 45k outta the 60k we agreed on, I'll balance him later. We talked more on where to deliver it to when he made mention of iworoad, gate etc that he do frequent Ibadan that it's just because of his work hence he would have made the delivery himself, he asked of my details. On Tuesday , yesterday., He called me in the morning that he'll be taking the package together with him to the motor park on his way to work, and I told him I will transfer the money as soon as I get to work using a colleague phone as I had to sell my phone to add to the money since the phone is becoming more faulty. Around 10am, I called him, he said I should give him an hour that he couldn't went to the park again that he'll be in an hour time,. This is where I made the foolish mistake of sending him the 45k cos I'd believe him to be legit as per say we relate well together being of the same tribe. He called me back around midday to tell me that he'd got to the park and made the delivery that I may even get it before the day end.
I called him back at to ask of the driver's number but he didn't pick up and the number had been switched off since. It went through today on way back home from work around 7pm which wasn't picked also but not going through anymore.

I know I messed up a big time sending money to an unknown person whose only number and account details I know of as he uses a zenith bank account. I've gotten items from unknown person on NL without knowing them, Jboixxx on the phone section from far Taraba is someone I've never seen, I only send him money and sleep, I'm sure I'll get the delivery, I paid 180k for a phone I got for someone from Meister without ever knowing him, the phone I was using before was gotten from saint2ace and he delivered. Please 🙏 how do I go about the situation and get the money back? It's my last fund, I don't have any phone on me to even check my admission status as it's speculated that UI will release cut off marks this week. I'm thinking of going to report to police station and file a report against the account at a zenith bank branch here. Pls, I need help, his contact info is 09159728821

[color=royalblue]I really cannot search for threads, but i once read of a guy that retrieved his money back from a scammer.

I think he reported to the bank, or EFCC..I can't remember

But you need to submit concrete proof...These phone calls won't do much..WhatsApp chats, pictures, blah blah blah

So that guy got the bank to place a lien abi na blacklist the BVN of the thief..The bank was UBA (I remember)

The thief later came back to beg the guy, because he could not transact anything. He paid the money back too.

I just hope no be Opay and Palmpay the guy use for you. If it is normal bank, you can still collect your money even if him don chop am.

raumdeuter:
FG under Buhari did not support Rochas in his succession plan. If he submitted the name to FG and APC Federal aka Buhari supported it then its a straight thing

[color=royalblue]No be only FG.

Rochas that had the structure of APC inside his boxers. Or have you forgotten he brought APc to Imo?

Unlimited22 is right using this example.

There are cases where the governor cannot pick anybody and win.[/color]

raumdeuter:
Rochas had FG work against him, Amaechi had FG working against him
Peter Obi actually succeded with Obiano when he was a sitting governor

[color=royalblue]Which FG worked against Rochas?

Ordinary party candidate, he couldn't deliver for his inlaw, even though he had the party structure

You and Unlimited22 are right.

A governor can, and in some cases, he can't[/color]

[color=royalblue]So the two ediots that decamped didn't count the cost yesterday, abi na balls dem no get?

Mtcheeeeew

Wike should behead them politically for such show of shame.[/color]

GloriousGbola:
my stand is that fubara showed his hand too soon. now he is spending the next three years playing cat and mouse with wike.

he has started a war he may not be able to finish.

the man literally learnt nothing from watching the osho vs obaseki feud.

if obaseki had not bided his time until he had controlled the machinery, he would aslo have lost out

[color=royalblue]Yeah...True

But if the courts ask for a rerun, and Fubara manages, I mean manages, to kick Wike's loyalists out, It is game over for Wike.

Even Tinubu sef go begin consider his political worth.

Currently, the person that has much to lose is Wike. The reason he got to Abuja is because he has Rivers. If he loses it, omoh, na political orphan e go turn to.[/color]

BlueRayDick:


Governor go just order state police to lock some people up and throw the cell key inside atlantic ocean

[color=royalblue]I can imagine states with minority ethnic groups.

Thank God it was never approved during Fashola's time.

Just look at how these guys are behaving.[/color]

[color=royalblue]May God not let State Police ever happen in Nigeria.

With what is going on in Rivers? [/color]

GloriousGbola:
This is why you have not been able to turn 200k seed money into 400m.

Are you sure you have what it takes.

You have to be ruthless to be a billionaire ooo.

[color=royalblue]Very very Ruthless.

Infact, it has to be God keeping us alive, with how much fake and substandard products we use and consume everyday.

People go to China, clone a particular product, maybe Maggi or Closeup, and bring it back here and sell...

Even in spare parts that i know, these guys will refurbish air valves, something that is very delicate in the braking of trucks, and resell it as brand new.

When the truck in on motion, the driver go match the pedal, valve no go respond. The next thing na accident.

God no go let me make that kind money, abeg.[/color]

GloriousGbola:
What izzou is saying is that you have to make and brand the cans. Which is a significant cost in itself. Most other counterfeiting involves reusing the container. The brand forgery is the cap and the paper.

The moment you are molding and branding aluminum cans, you are already running factory operation.

[color=royalblue]Exactly[/color]

BlueRayDick:
It may be difficult to, but it's not impossible.

At least I have heard stories of traders in that Apongbon/Oke-Arin axis who have Machines they use to erase expiry date of products and write a totally different one on it.

[color=royalblue]Very easy naa.

For snacks like Gala, use sealtape or Methylated spirit.

Then you can buy the stamp and fix a new one.

I saw it in a dream oh. I have not done it before [/color]

BlueRayDick:
All those machines used for packaging can drinks can be bought from China na. It just takes a criminal mind with a daring spirit to put some of these things into play.

[color=royalblue]I don't know the way they are adulterating the cans, but it is quite difficult.

Maybe the cans impounded where bought to mix with the counterfeit...Maybe

Even in Nigeria, only very few companies produce cans...Like very few

Anybody that can import the whole machinery from China will not bother to hide inside bush and produce fakes.

Cans are still the way to go. [/color]

Why not take it today and bring it back before our match. Why are you avoiding your team?

we enter the yuletide, abeg make canned drinks your priority in Nigeria.

Can malt
Can Coke
Can juice
Can beer

Unless you know a genuine importer of wines, buy the ones in Can

Avoid Eva Wines abeg. Veleta and Bacchus is even manageable

Avoid set awon PET and Corked (Glass) bottles as much as you can.


Protect your liver oh! Shalom[/color]

larride:
Izzou werey

Hope you don dey prepare for another weekend of L?

[color=royalblue]I'm taking my TV to Alaba for repairs this weekend.

I'll miss our match, sadly.

See you next/another weekend![/color]

[color=royalblue]So 10 million go turn 200k if the MFbank crashes?

Make i kuku dig hole for my backyard[/color]

Itsrm:
You are asking good questions

I also noticed that most mechanic workshops are empty this period. This used to be the time when people fix their cars and paint it so they can travel with it.

Looks like these cheaper alternatives took all car owners away from mechanics, panel beaters and painters

iamoyindamola:
Which bank is gomoney again
Why do people take stupid risks

https://www.nairaland.com/7938910/gomoney-bank-been-down-week

[color=royalblue]Na today i dey hear of am.

GoMoney don carry money Go.

As for the victims, let us now filter the Obidients from the BATists.

So we can know those to mock and those to sympathise with.[/color]

raumdeuter:
They are not making as much money as they used to because cheaper alternatives from India and local manufacturers who dont observe the GSK standards ran them out of the market

Was that your point?

[color=royalblue]How come this cheaper alternatives didn't run them out the market from 1999 to 2019?

Abi na today Dr Iguedo Goko cleanser begin reign?[/color]

raumdeuter:
Same reason they are leaving many 3rd world economies

[color=royalblue]Are you not making my point for me, Monsieur? [/color]

raumdeuter:
Kenya is our level considering our income to population

Its like your son asking you that why is are we not living like DJ cuppy whose father is a billionaire, he refused to compare you to your mate with the same income but na Dangote family you wan compare with

That shows unrealistic expectation

USA wey dey send billions to us in aids thats who we should compare ourselves to? If genuinely people think we should compare ourselves to US then thats where the unrealistic expectations come from

Unless you want to hear blatant lies, There is no human alive who will make Nigerian economy be like UK or USA. We are closer to Kenya than we are to the poorest state in USA

[color=royalblue]So why did GSK leave Nigeria?[/color]

raumdeuter:
Why will GSK leave their own home headquarter in UK?

USA and UK shey dem get the same Income per head as Nigeria? or comparable budget to population
US where a state with 30m people has over 10 times the budget of Nigeria

This is where we as Nigerians dont set realistic expectations, I have asked who are the comparable countries and economy to us that we can compare ourselves to?

Looking at countries that have 300 times our income where our annual budget is their police department budget is not the right comparison

[color=royalblue]You are making the point of those blaming APC for their departure

How can you be referencing Kenya, another country with a useless economy as ours?

Na the same way Kenyans sef go dey drag their government for GSK leaving[/color]

Theflint1:
Not much wiggle room for Prospa here... curious to see what his reply would be.

[color=royalblue]

Na full crash course him go release.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Get ready for explanations and epistles[/color]

swiz123:
Everyone should face the consequences
Of their choice and actions. If for example you are an Uber driver and you supported and voted for Tinubu and later the subsidy removal and consequent inflation started showing you shege, please don't expect sympathy from me. I might not mock you to your face but in my heart, I will mock you 7 days a week.

[color=royalblue]And if the Uber driver gets a well paying job that is 10 times his Uber earnings, what will you do then?

Or we should just wait for downfalls and call it "Consequences"?[/color]

raumdeuter:
Voting APC has consequences. I expect Peter Obi to roll out news conference today

https://www.nairaland.com/7938944/gsk-quits-kenya-4-months#127450567

https://businessday.ng/news/article/gsk-quits-kenya-4-months-after-nigerias-exit/

[color=royalblue]Kenyan economy that is crying like our own?

Your clapback for enter if GSK was leaving the USA or UK.

Kenya ke? [/color]

liveLongNprospa:
Bros.
It's simple.
I sympathise with larride and at the same time I don't judge people that hold him accountable especially when the issue is linked to the way the government he supported has destroyed the country.

If I have unprotected sex and I catch an std, I treat that std and I'm good. Just because I am cured, does it mean I didn't suffer the consequence of unprotected sex knowing already the probability of fvcking raw would lead to..

[color=royalblue]So, why have you been jumping up and down, mentioning everybody to contribute?

You sympathised with him
I sympathised with him too

You came to call me out on whether he should be mocked for the consequences of his vote.

What kind of insincerity is that?

Drag him as a man, and stop looking for whose back you should take cover.

Stop sympathising with him, and give stones to those stoning him. [/color]

GloriousGbola:
i don't drink alcohol therefore anyone who allows his body to be tainted by liqour deserves to die of liver Cirrhosis

i dont smoke therefore anyone who does desrves to die a horrible death from lung cancer

i dont fk around therefore anyone who does must die of tertairy syphilis

people must bear the consequnces of actions i do not agree with.



anyone who does not use gold circle serves teh conseqences of unexpected triplets

i wonder ooo

we have all gone through difficult times. they are a fact of life. may we have friends and family who will see us through our difficult times, not leering bitter malicious ghouls whose sole contribution is to cackle - good for you ! may we also be able to help our friends through their dark times, or at least if we cant help, may we have the sense to shut up.

[color=royalblue]Suddenly, every BATist is suffering and should be called out for the consequences of their actions.

Life doesn't happen anymore to people, even good people

I am suffering oh. I supported Obi and i am not supported to suffer any consequence in Nigeria.

Nonsense[/color]

liveLongNprospa:
Bros does it mean that everyone who bounces back didn't face the consequence of their decision?

Your answer to that is my answer to your question

[color=royalblue]You can't even make up your mind to answer a simple question.

From sympathising with Larride, to hiding behind DonJ to throw stones.

Omoh!. One must know probability and statistics to be in your circle[/color]

liveLongNprospa:
That means there's no one that suffers any consequence of their actions.

It's all about down moments.
If we follow this logic to the very end.

[color=royalblue]See how you have been dancing around since.

My question is simple

If He bounces back again, will you call it Consequences?[/color]
