I don't mind paying high as long as you do a good job for me. One of the things I hate most is cheating, I hate it when someone tries to play smart.



I have a trusted phone repairer, he's been my guy for almost 2yrs now. I even refer people to him.....That guy is the most sincere phone engineer I've met in my life.

Most phone repairers fabricate stories to make it look as if your phone got serious issue to extort you but this guy doesn't behave like that......If it's a minor issue he'll tell you straight up and would collect little or nothing from you.

But at the end most still repair and get your phone done.
The one I was expecting you to say is this.
It both applies to electronics gadgets especially in Alaba market.
You came with your phone, radio, television and what not and you're looking for an engineer who will fix it on time without wasting your time. As you're passing by they'll be calling and stopping you to come their shop even while they're busy with another work.
You will hear come I go do am now now.
Immediately you give them your gadgets, they'll drop any other one they're repairing, and start handling your own. Once they've succeeded in opening your own, they'll stylishly drop it one side and continue with the one they're doing before.
Dem don hold you for work be that, when you ask why are you not doing my own again. He will tell you I don see wetin dey do am, na small thing. Just wait small.
Before you know it, instead of an hour or two you plan to stay, you will see yourself spending up to 5hrs with them.
Chai, this guy don remind me one bad experience

I bought one used TV from my guy back then in Ghana around 2013 as a student

The TV come get wahala, I took it to dansoman for repairs to one Naija guy

Transport to there na like 1hr from legon, the guy dealt with me with stories every time for two months continuously

At the end, I downgraded from 32 inches used TV to 20 inches TV

I left the TV for him and never went back.

My second story goes like this...


My ex broke my phone one time(that's why she's my ex)

One guy that grew in my former neighborhood was now a phone technician, so I reason am say make I patronize a former neighbor, at least he could reduce money for me small.


Guy was glad to see me, he asked me to go and come back, say him get my phone screen already so na to just change am ASAP.


Later in the evening, story change. Bros tell me say he tried all the touch pads available and none work, so he don order from out of town.


I wan slap myself, if I had gone to my technician, I would have collected my phone since.

Sha the guy give me one small android make I use hold body till the next day. I happy small say atleast I still get wetin to use browse for the night


Guess what, phone battery was dead but he assured me that if I could charge it, I'll enjoy the phone.

By almost midnight when I finally charge the phone finish, I nack sim, put on phone. Within two minutes my battery dey read 70%.

I shock, like whether na my eyes dey pain me ABI wetin. Guys before ten minutes I dey see 15% remaining and walahi I on data for just 5 minutes...


Omor before I go rush charger, phone don die. Kai I wan mad that night. I just fling the phone away.


Early momo I dey brother shop. Oga said touch pad wey them bring no still work so he sent it to another shop make them check something...

Bla bla bla.... Na after 4 days I see my phone.

As I check am out, I noticed three big black spots on the screen, I wan talk, brother say na the machine wey dem use, say within two days, e go clear....


Ifa hear... Spot wey come dey join together to form one big spot... Guess what, the new touchpad didn't last more than two weeks, one fall, e crash again...


I carry am go my aboki repairer, ten minutes and half of the money I wasted earlier and my phone was done.

So that my so called neighbor not only fixed fake things for me, he also collected twice the amount. I shame for am....


Since then, even good morning, him no dey hear from me again...😁😁😁

Phone engineering na risky job o. The phone parts they use for replacement are unpredictable. They can work perfectly today and start misbehaving tomorrow.
Solving one fault can uproot many other awaiting problems.

They can make so much money in the morning and use that gain to cover gbese in the evening.
