Them never tell una the Real Truth behind "Condemn, Condemn People", and those ones that hit those clinking metals even in the middle of the night.

When day finally break for una, everybody go chop breakfast!

These people going around asking you to sell your condemned mobile phones and laptop computers are going to resell them to experts who can extract everything valuable inside those devices and make maximum profit.

Yes, there is gold and other minerals in your Samsung or iPhone, but nothing is more valuable than your personal data.

There are experts who can fix those devices and first start by accessing the information stored on them:
Automatic login to your bank accounts
Automatic login to your social media
Automatic login to your personal and work email
Access to business and personal files
Access to all your contacts saved
Access to media files including nudes
Information to track your location history.

The above also applies to where you go to fix your phones and computers. They can finish fixing them, then access data and information on them before handing over to you.

So true. I have phones that are bad and I will never sell because those phones have emotional value. The ones I sold had zero emotional value because I was single during that time and they did not have Bluetooth, could not even show pictures talk less of play videos. Those phones were worthless to me.

Anyone who is thinking of collecting my data from a dead phone or android will simply be welcomed to the world of woman entertainment. If that person is Religious all religion will be lost watching those videos. I know the best sites on the internet.

Sssshhhhhhh. ........ Sshhhhh ...... Spambot is watching

A few weeks ago, a Nairaland post made frontpage, where someone asked about those hawkers shouting:


Many of these hawkers are mobile buyers from northern Nigeria, roaming cities in search of broken phones, damaged laptops, and even faulty generators.
They often offer ridiculously low amounts, sometimes as little as 500 or 1,000 naira for your device.
But these items are far from useless. Many go to repair markets where technicians fix them and resell fairly used devices.
Devices beyond repair are dismantled for parts or recycled, recovering materials like copper, aluminum, and even small amounts of gold.

So what seems like trash to most people is actually part of a hidden street economy that touches the streets, repair markets, and scrap trade.



"Condemn phone, condemn laptop, we are buying it in a good price..." => https://www.nairaland.com/8640658/condemn-merchants-all-over-country

Everyone was curious about who they are, why they are everywhere, and what they do with these so-called condemned items.

Here’s the story that explains it all:

Extracts from phone, laptop, dvd panels are the real deal. gold, copper chloride, Palladium, potassium, silver are extracted from circuit boards and PCBs hardwares. These materials are recycled to create new electronic devices, reducing the need for mining. 1 ton of mobile PCBs can yield more than 0.86kg of gold, those dirty looking scavengers and scrab buyers are working for billionaire exporters ..
