The one I notice is this aboki bike men
Up until last year calabar as a city has never had bike men that were not Akwacross now every place you enter you’ll see aboki bike men with new and old bikes

I then start to wonder this thing is coordinated,
it is either that they're Mapping out and getting familiar with the South or that they're running away from the insecurity and hardship in the north and coming down south.

"We are a good company, and we are buying it at a good price"....

I wanted to give one of them my working PC with just a thin line on the screen. His offer was 5K. He claimed he needed just the panel and wasn't interested in other parts. I bade him farewell...
5k?? That one still even try.

The funny thing is that, these people are hungry-looking, tattered guys. People who can't even bring out N500 from their pockets.

You need no one to tell you that they buy onbehalf of the chinese...

What bothers me though, is why they don't buy chinese-made laptops? They prefer those begium laptops.
GBAM!! U just Hit a point. Chinese will remove all metals like gold, tin, lithium, etc. to produce another products in multiples then return them back to Africa at high price. When are we going to rise

This year in Aba, Abia State, I noticed a new business in town. They come with speaker with a pre-recorded audio that plays "Condemn phone, condemn laptop, condemn engine, we are buying it in a good price.
If your phone fall down inside water, bring it we are buying it in a good price. Condemn phone, condemn laptop. Baje baje..."


And it's seems it's only northerners are into it.

What's your state of residence? What year did they come into your state of residence?

It must be the Chinese. They recycle everything. They understand that Nigerians see being wasteful as a sign of wealth.
They know that another man's waste is another man's wealth.

Before the rampant merchandising of Condemn handset and co, there's a guy I met in yaba/ojuelegba Market, Lagos in 2021. He specifically deals on condemn electronics...and he pays wella than these merchants moving around.

I took his number, but I've not really had need to reachout so far.
