What is killing Nigeria market is inferior goods. cheaper but quick damage

How to identify fake LG TV:

1. The first give away is usually the way the LG is written on the carton. ALWAYS, there is a mismatch in colour hue and font size between the LG and the TV brand name.
2. The LG written on the TV itself is often slightly out of alignment (typically not straight) and often all white color. Some LG TV have the LG logo in red and not white.
3. Remote controllers of fake LG TV WILL NOT operate a genuine LG TV but remote controllers of genuine LG TV will usually operate another genuine LG TV even when not of same model types.
4. LG Smart TV use the WebOS as operating system. If you have an LG Smart TV running on Android.....hmmmm, my brother, na Alaba LG be that o.
5. Fakes are typically lightweight. They usually have fewer components inside.
6. Always look up the LG TV model type you wish to purchase online and compare the features and packaging with the one in the store you are at. If it's a fake, you should be able to see immediately.

Be joking ... SON better mind there business...

You might be right for some goods. But this TVs don't come in as LG. They come in as another brand.
And LG label printed on them

Thank you Fouani Nigeria limited for saving us from fake electronics, air conditioners and refrigerators.

To know original TV is very simple, firstly check the back of the TV, the place they normally write the size, you will see the LG logo, Secondly press the menu, you will see LG office in some smart TV...
Even the original ones do get issue, and original LG is not price friendly.... and many Nigerians cannot even afford it.
I bought my 65" original one abt 450k 3 years ago... now it is close to 600k

If you see LG 65" now at 600k or even 700k, it definitely fake! Check foaini website to see prices of original LG products in Nigeria

SON should be scrapped. It has outlived its usefulness

ALL the LG TV in Alaba are fake, its very Easy to tell, what they do is get unbranded TV from China and just put any Lebel on them.

😂 Where you wan see original 65 inches LG at 600k? Na 900k+ for UHD, the 4k AI is 1.2m+

Albinoflash:
Most Nigerians can't afford original cos I don't know why any sensible human being will leave an LG store and go to a retailer to buy something cheaper and expect to get the best,let's just be honest with our self,I think the only problem here should be the names they copy to deceive people,just put ur own brand product name and sell ur product not impersonating lg

Must everyone go to LG shops before they buy original LG TVs?

I forced to reply you having read this same irrational comments over and over from different commentators.

The way you guy reasoning in this platform called for sober reflection, you guys too myopic, illogical & irrational in your reasonings. Only to attack,critical and wail.

Fraudsters selling fake products, almost all of you leave him start blaming the buyers and govt.


Everything they post, you guys must find way to attack and leave penetrators out of it.

Another issue for some people
But let's say the truth ... Are you telling me SON is just getting to know this or they are trying to please some people
Do we even have regulations in Nigeria
Beer
Pepsi
Slippers
Shirts
Electronics even phone all has imitation in nigeria SON never did anything about it

Nigerians can't afford the original though but the people selling should not lie

SON acting like they don't know what's up.

These guys import this Tvs from China then make the cartons here in Nigeria.

Hmm Alàba market, watch how SON investigating this will end up with Peter Obí going there and batting for the counterfeiters telling us they are being targeted.

Watch how Obidients will start talking about how they should let them go and form their country if they don't want them in Lagos.

You just watch!

This is so funny! Look at SON acting all surprised. Like they don’t know this has been going on for ages. They’re basically trying to play to the gallery here.

How do you check all these if the carton is sealed?

Your best bet is to only purchase your electronics from authorized dealers and reputable stores and not open markets

You bought fake😮🤣

My country wey counterfeit jubri to buhari

Nigeria and fake na 5&6,you just have to SHINE YOUR EYE..

Last month I bought two phone batteries with a space of two 2 weeks. They usually swelled up after 1 week or 2..

That battery brand (Mich Pro) has SON stamped on it..

It is obviously fake, so I wonder how they got SON certified.


Does SON do quality control test, or are they trying to generate noise like NAFDAC in the media, so they can get huge government allocations?

The culprits will soon start shouting marginalization

If these major brands are really serious about dealing with counterfeiters they should publish and update their website on a weekly or monthly basis with names and addresses of their authorised dealers, models and expected retail price range of all their products. Anyone buying from unknown dealers are on their own.

They should wait for it. Not only the fake TV will be affected this time

So u are saying the big smart LG that I bought for 75k last month is fake?

SON is tracking those responsible . Why haven't they gone to the stores and seize the products? The TVs are being sold off to unsuspecting customers while they are out there tracking people. Jokers everywhere

I guess they are just waking up to their duty…..I guess they have an office and personnel at our ports and point of entry where all this deviants that have sworn to kill Nigerians with fake drugs and substandard products bring in their goods? This are economic saboteurs just because of their greed for money, in the name of business don’t mind killing Nigeria with fake drugs and products

It’s high time this government agencies take their jobs seriously and not until social media start exposing this criminals before they take action……it was really shameful and appalling to see some shameless people justify this criminality on the other thread yesterday just because of their ethnic bias and sentiment, yet this bunch of self righteous clowns will be quick to call out Tinubu and elected govt officials like they are saints just like their leader who as kept silent ever the news broke out….bunch of hypocrites

Yes, it is not new, even the days of SHARP TV such was in existence. Government is aware of it.

I don't know why we are making fuss over this matter, even the LG and other brands know there are counterfeit in the market.This Son people are purely attention seekers. Brand new LG 65 inches is from #800,000 to over 1million naira.
Those ones in the video are refurbished LG manufactured in China and they still run LG software inside, but not the same quality and colors but the price is way cheaper. Those Rebranded LG 65inches sell for like #450,000 thereabout. but the size is not exactly 65inches..Check them very well, the sizes are always lesser than the quoted sizes on the cartons.
Take a brief and go to most of the small retail TV sellers, thats what you see there.
All those Nigerians forming holier than thou, we are not ready as a nation to stamp out counterfeit products, our govt are not ready. A nation that celebrates yahoo boys and corruptions. Abegi.
