99% of nairalander have been scammed at computer village before

Even before opening, I knew the location

Welcome to Lagos😂😂😂

They will distract you that police is coming and quickly swap it and take off😂

This is what is called "Welcome To Lagos".
Almost all first time visitors to Lagos state have been duped one way or the other before.
Lagos state will give you a crash course on how to be street smart.

This is why you need to go to the shops to buy when you go to computer village instead of patronizing roadside vendors

Welcome to Lagos [color=#000099][/color]

Computer village is not for the weak 🤌😂 💔

This same trick has been working for over two decades now

Na normal thing for computer village now. Welcome to Lagos babe.

Computer village to buy brand new phone?
The victim is obviously not a Lagosian

Anybody that's scammed with this format needs to be jailed

Who is in shock about the culture of computer village

When they dupe people in that market it will all look like witchcraft.

Computer village is becoming something else

Ahhh fam… this one is not just story — it is documentary evidence of “Hope is expensive in Computer Village” 😂💔 in 2013

So I had been managing my loyal Blackberry Bold like a village elder holding onto tradition. But deep inside me, I knew 201X (whatever year it was) was not for keypad suffering again. Everybody had upgraded. WhatsApp was now behaving like it had pride. I said no, my own glory must also locate me.

That was how I entered Computer Village with confidence that could scare small children and a budget of ₦10,000 + “faith in God”.

I told myself: “Today, I must leave here with Q10. My life must change by force.”

Ah.

I saw one guy on the street. Sharp sharp, he showed me Q10. I held it like I was testing destiny itself. Screen bright, buttons shiny… I even did small fake serious face like I knew specs 😂

The man now said: “Oga, make we go inside shed. Agberos dey here.”

I said no problem. Anywhere where upgrade is involved, I am mobile.

But I should have known danger started when he wrapped the phone inside white handkerchief like say na sacred artifact from Vatican. I ignored it. Love is blind. Upgrade is more blind.

Inside shed, negotiation started.

Him: “₦15,000”

Me: “My brother, I brought ₦10,000 and destiny. Choose one.”

He sighed like experienced scammer and agreed. That was my first warning: why too easy?

He collected my phone, nodded like engineer, then said: “Let me stop bike for you so agberos won’t disturb you.”

At this point, I felt VIP treatment. I said in my mind: “Yes. This is how successful people move.”

He gave me handkerchief.

Me: “Wow… packaging is premium. Even Apple no reach this level.”

I entered bike like Elon Musk of Allen Avenue.

I told bike man: “JUST GO. DON’T STOP. I AM NOW A BIG BOY.”

This is where my downfall accelerated.

I held that handkerchief like passport to America. I was already imagining how I’d show my friends: “Guys, I upgraded.”

I reached Allen Avenue. Jumped down like billionaire in a hurry.

Opened the cloth slowly… suspense like Nollywood final scene…

Inside: B29 SOAP.

No screen. No buttons. No WhatsApp. No charger. Just… pure hygiene and disappointment.

I looked at the soap. The soap looked at me. Even the soap was embarrassed for me 😭

I poked it like maybe it will receive call. I turned it upside down like maybe network is hidden underneath.

Nothing.

Just soap living its best life.

I just stood there like: “So I sold technology… for skincare?”

At that point my soul left my body briefly.

I didn’t even shout. I didn’t even chase anybody. I just entered bike again like returning item to destiny.

Back at Computer Village, I was walking like a man who has seen the truth of life.

One guy even had the audacity to ask: “Broda, dem no give you cream?”

I almost collapsed.

CREAM?? 😭😭

So not only did I buy soap, I bought incomplete package?

At that moment, I accepted my rank: I am not “Q10 owner” I am not even “phone upgrader”

I am: Soap Premium Investor (Loss Edition)

And since that day, my aunt’s phone has been my emergency relationship. I borrow it like someone borrowing oxygen.

Moral of the story: If somebody wraps your “dream phone” like suya in white cloth…

just start praying immediately. 💀

Computer village? If you are not careful, you won't know wen you will sell yourself out

This could be a skit. Phones are usually unboxed and even tested before handed over to the buyer.

. THIS IS LAGOS NOT WELCOME TO LAGOS.
Once you pass that RCCG CAMP,SHINE YO EYES

For those saying “welcome to Lagos”, it’s shows the level of our acceptability of evil as the new normal . How can a whole market be known for fraud, deception and theft in a Lagos that Tinubu built? This evil should never be acceptable as our now reality!

Lagos government should find a way to sanitize that Ikeja Computer Village. Enough of duping innocent citizens in this Lagos city

This old trick still dey catch people?

They use that to welcome the person to Lagos, computer village the jungle of where legal and illegal activities were carried, I rest my case 🚶🏻‍♂️

If you loose guard dem go chop you for Lagos

Dem still dey use this old trick?
People still fall?

This is what many Nigerians are doing in south Africa and when those people burn their shops they will start shouting xenophobic
