Most countries that have technology today started from copying. China started that way and still doing it till tomorrow.



The first time I visited China, I was wowed.


My tour guide took me to a place in China where they produce replica of all the luxury fashion products on earth. You can't even differentiate between the counterfeits there and the original one.


Like one Christian Dior bag I once bought for my wife as a birthday gift that cost over a million naira, I saw it there at less than 400k and it's just same I had to buy a different design to show my wife.


I also bought replica Rolex watch they sell the original 3.5m and I bought the replica around 250k grin


You come to spare parts same thing

If you visit China you won't be surprised about this news. Yes I know it's not a good practice, it's violation of patent right but unfortunately that's what the whole world does now.


Turkey is even the headquarters for fake or counterfeit luxury fashion products. All those luxury brand products they sell to you guys in Nigeria as original are all fake, counterfeits produced in Turkey. The whole world knows about this and reason many troop to Istanbul to buy cheap luxury brand fashion products at reduced price


You need to travel more and see that the world has spoilt sha, Alasba boys are learners
Na Nigeria dey request inferior quality. Even in China, every copy is produced with high quality materials for their consumption.

Don't enlighten them, allow them to be screaming Alaba boys lol


Most times the materials are even the same but you know the original brand have invested so much in branding, brand promotion, image marketing, advertising and even in staff welfare, so they usually factor in these costs in their final product prices which makes their own price higher than the counterfeit or replica brands that had only product production cost to bear, making their cost lesser than the original and which puts them at advantage in pricing.


I got to know this in China. Same factory producing for the main brand produces the generic which these counterfeit makers create theirs from.



The only place I frown at counterfeit is in things humans consume like; medicines, food, etc


Cc: amaridigital



And yes it will be good if Nigerian government not just Southwest Governors alone can intensify efforts to curb counterfeit and replica products flooding our markets.
You talking rubbish. Big brands have a name to protect they use quality materials and well tested. They pay heavy tax. and and also fine if they produce rubbish. Their prices are higher I know that and the reason they have a warranty. But those generic are not of the same qualities. Not the same firmware and panel. If you have change a phone screen before you will see the difference from the original follow come screen.

Why using LG brand. Instead they could have use their own name.

Nothing like fake, Every television components are the same. How about the operating system which will display LG did they print that as well?

You are very correct. Leave that boy called madridguy make he dey wallow in stupidity as if na only one tribe dey do it. In as much as na bad thing to do such but that is whqt it is overseas. If you see shoes like new balance, dior etc that tgey sell in turkey. Same desigbn but crazily cheap. Who don go arrest them for turkey. A whole europe market get pirated goods copy in turkey and one illiterate man in ogbomosho will be shouting ibo up and down as if na one tribe dey pirate. Call out the act and not be a tribalist ggoat
It’s you and the dude that you mentioned that are saying rubbish..

If Tv nah Pamasonic or Soni, why branded it with LG cartoon, just to deceive people? Why don’t they use Pamasonic or Soni cartoon?

The new balance, Dior that they sell in turkey, do they brand them with Gucci cartoon?

You guys won’t advice una self now. If people stop buying from you guys tomorrow, you’ll claim it’s Igbo hatred..

Anything fake in SW, una days are numbered..

I doubt generic televisions are programmed with LG firmware. I know someone who had a damaged remote, he got another remote from from LG Office. The remote didn't worked with his television, whereas it worked on mine.

About your generic television, which is working well, does it enjoy LG support? For how long can you update it online? I am not saying that some generic products don't serve. I won't buy them on purpose. I buy all my LG products directly from Fouani.

When buying Thermocool, I call their office directly, asking for the contact of their agent when buying outside Lagos. Some companies have shops on Jumia. You can buy LG products directly on their app, it's called Colors.

Those televisions are made and programmed in China. They are called generic TVs, but most of hem are programmed with LG firmware, especially those android tvs. Bought one around 2024, a 32 inches TV, branded as LG. It was later i got to know that its not the original LG. I have been using it since around october 2024 till date and no issue.

My only concern here is why use LG logos and firmware, whwn they can just rebrand the generic Tvs with a new brand name, since its one of the cheapest brand of TVs in Nigeria. They need a proffessional to put them through instead of counterfeiting LG electronics. If i have enough BARS, i can actually buy plenty Generic TVs from china, and i will just rebrand them. Most of these factories are responsible for the production of even the original TVs, just that the materials used might not match up to the original products. i.e, take samsung phones i midrange and redmi phones in midrange, same specs, but different quality in screen and other componenets. Generic products are made for poor 3rd world countries....

Most Nigerians are ignorant, they just sit in theirs houses and run their mouth. They won't travel they won't read to enlighten themselves. The polo shirts and other luxury clothes I bought in Turkey when I got back to mainland Europe and went to work my colleagues thought I got an inheritance or something grin

After printing the LG logo on the body of the TV, will they also get LG software to install on the inside of the TV as it's OS because that is where the main job is not just on printing the logo on the body.


And for those crying up there, this is what made China whatever they are today and they are still doing it.


Any brand or product you want to replicate in China or produce the counterfeit, it is being done in China and the whole world know about it and heaven haven't fell, so why the cry? cheesy
Those first few commentators should be ignored. Bigotry, tribalism is in their blood and the way they spread and support propaganda of this evil government and its leaders is second to none.

They lack understanding and are zombies of the APC regime. So, listen to them with a bucket of salt, not a pinch.

self hatred is the worst thing that can happen to a man.


mental and intellectual dwarfism are evident when a grown man willingly makes himself a slave to others.

Are you a member of Tinubu's family? Are you a patriot? Are you one with integrity? The answers to the three posers are: no.

Your tribal pettiness has caused you irrecoverable psychic wounds to the point where you're now behaving completely irrational

But this has finally hit the front page so seun.can now breathe. This is highly condemnable. I was a victim myself. I bought a 50 inch fake JVC at alaba in 2022. The moment I saw it in one of the leading online shops in Nigeria,.I thought it was the same JVC I used to know while overseas so I jumped at it. It didnt last up to 6 months before it began having issues. I reported the issue to them and they gave me the address of the vendor to contact. The vendor was at alaba so i took it there. They gave me a new one while i dropped the faulty one. It didn't last up to 1 year before it began displaying blurry lines. Now, its just at one corner of my house like a dummy. I had bought a Samsung ac for my wife's shop in the past which didn't last up to 1yr. Going to the authorised electronics dealers is the way out. I don't want to mention names here. They're all over Allen avenue in ikeja and in major cities nationwide. I've had my peace since I discovered them.

However, I wouldn't want us to criminalise a particular tribe here. Every tribe does this fraud but in different dimensions and forms.

Just a few weeks ago,some.guys were arrested in osun, ibadan and lagos cos they were found with thousands of fake USD notes. Google it. Their names are Akingbola Omotayo, Adeola Ogunrinde, Yahaya Amodu, Kubratu Olaita and co. As you know me here,I'd never join the tribal train,laye!
I remember what happened in Ikorodu a few years back, in which a man was found with drugs in a massive way. Today, the case is dead. Now let me ask you, where would you send these ones who are amongst our people to...sambisa forest? These aren't ibos that you can send to the south east oo.

The lasting solution is getting leadership right. We all pretend not to know this. As long as we keep voting wrongly, and out of tribal sentiments,do not expect any changes because most of these criminals are friends to all these bad leaders and politicians. That's what's giving them the courage to do crime. Who born them during the military era? They'd not live to see the next 24hrs after they're picked.

There is.

Could be made from inferior parts.

By the way, why not use the original brand?
It's not fake

They get another brand and print LG on it

Like, bebex go do upgrade for one car like Mercedes Benz s400 and turn it to 2026 s800 and sell it for the price of that s800,you get the point?

Or take Toyota spider 2009 model, fix am to Mercedes and sell it as Mercedes products

You are also correct....but then, copy/replica/counterfeit still exist in the markets of all nations including European, British, Canadian and American markets, that's my point.


China and other countries catching up with technology today started from copying and are still heavily copying known brands, so let's not make it look like its a tribal stuff, its global....maybe because Igbos travel a lot and are more business inclined than other Nigerian tribes, they get to learn these unethical business practices from traveling the world in search of opportunities, which they then bring to Nigeria...if we had a one nation with united front, what our government should do is to help them start recreating those things here and maybe using our own indigenous brand names to promote them within Africa till we perfect our craft and start exporting to the rest of the world cool
