You're always spilling gibberish bro you need to visit the hospital asap

his case is beyond hospital. They couldn't handle it o. Unless you want to try deliverance

Didn't know they sell phones at Ladipo. It's mainly car spare parts I know of.

Goalnaldo:
you enjoy trouble Sha, a seller said he's not selling again why can't you just give him back his phone??it's not like he went home or to his store or something

An interesting post.right there. The post emphasizes importance of due diligence before buying mobile device

SpencerForbes:
Even before opening the thread I knew computer village was gonna lead the frontline. My nigga went to get htc in 2015 and they returned his money on for him to find out it was paper. Those papers you find in new shoes. The guy couldn’t cry. Computer village 🤦‍♂️

exactly the same thing happened to me either in 2014 or 2015,mine was blackberry after paying some guys came pretending it was a stolen phone and started beating the seller then I rushed to collect my money back and didn't even look back only to discover they just folded a well cut brown newspaper rapped with 1k note

MatrixCircle:
A person with over 500k naira or more that want to buy iPhone or Samsung without going to original iPhone or Samsung registered distributors deserves to buy fufu from road side corner shops where he or she thinks such products can be bought. You deserve amala and kpomo too.

The amala or kpomo is it an essential commodity or just to spice the fufu

Happened to me to but we grew wiser and stronger bro

Exactly what happened to my guy. That was the same narrative. He told me it was inside the bus that a man told him to check his pocket and he found out it was paper.

Maybe 30k
Can't remember how much exactly

My point is, why will I buy computer at Alaba when it's Computer village that predominantly sells it.
Also, why buying electronics at Eko when it's Alab that sells it.

Mear23:
I dey visit this market back to back, especially, Computer Village, Alaba, Mushin and all markets in Lagos.
I have never been scammed for once.

Setting your priority right will help you escape this guys.
1. What are you planning to buy....then which market sells it.
2. You have no business with all those street guys....enter legit shops. ( sometimes, I buy corn from corn seller to get the opportunity to ask for a right direction)
3. Don't be carried away with cheap prices

..wow.. that was a big money at that time...but I know by now the fraudster would had been caught and beaten up and presecuted ..because he cannot keep on successfully deceiving and scamming people everytime without being caught
