i have had a similar experience before in ladipo...the scenario is alike....just that he dint put me on a bike....it was a nokia 6630..unluckily for the guy,i quickly entered the ware house so i could buy memory card and put songs...thats wen the guy said i had bought a "palasa"..that was the first time i heard that...i quickly ran outside and met the guy walking in my direction happily leaving...wen i accosted him,he even had the guts to ask me" ow much do i wan resell it to him"..the dude dint know what was awaiting him....u wont believe,a policeman was standing right there and he even greeted him...i asked myself "ow can i be scammed in my own neighborhood"..i held him,made a fone call (to my top goons and loyalists"..they said i shd engage him in a negotiation peacefully till they arrive..i shdnt fight him as his pple may injure me and they wld get away..
wen my bros arrived,they rounded them all up and demanded to even extort them more ...for me,i only wanted my money,in his pocket they found my money but it was short of 2k....i was happy wit that and i was asked to leave the scene..
here is the real con,they give u the real fone to call but they have the fake close to them...wen they tell u the story of the agbero,that wen the switch takes place...and they make u leave hurriedly...in the posters case,i wont be suprised the bike man was in on it...
there are other stories of the dollar change scam outside alade market....are u saying the police aint aware of all these stories?they are but they are on their payroll
advise:never buy anytin from hawkers on the street but in a shop....all they do is give u an attractive offer...

Picture Please.



Heazy2015:
I had been usiing my Blackberry Bold 5. I think. One
of those camera phones and it was clear that The Lord
wanted me to upgrade. A new year beckoned and I wanted to
enter it with one of those phones that used stylus and were
y’know big. So, ladies and gentlemen, I proceeded to proceed to
Computer Village to make my dream a reality. I had with me
my old phone and about N10, 000. The plan of course was to
do a swap, add some cash and get the precious Q10. Gosh, I
was so excited.

That’s how I got there with my own two legs and saw those
guys that sell phones on the street. Asked one if he had the
phone o, he said yes. Can’t remember his name sha, but he sha
showed me the Q10. I played with it, even made a demo call
and all to be sure it worked. Baba took me off the street saying,
“We can’t do business here o, before these agberos will ask you
to settle them”. So, he took me to a shed. All this while, he
wrapped the Q10 in a white handkerchief saying he didn’t
want it to scratch and that’s how he keeps his phones. Me that I
wasn’t even paying attention. I was just excited ‘cos my level
was about to change. Nigga just give me phone, abeg.

So, we’re chilling in this shed, negotiating. He says I’m going
to have to give up my phone and cash. I’m like, “How much?”
He says like N15, 000. I’m like, “Just look at this scam. I’ll
give you N10, 000 last.” He mutters some shot and agrees. He
takes my phone to check it. He then tells me he’s going to stop
a bike for me so that no agberos will disturb me immediately
we’re done. I’m like Okak. He takes the N10, 000, counts it
and then gets a bike for me. He tells me not to stop o because
these agberos. So he hands me the handkerchief.

Men and brethren, I got on this bike so excited and told the
bike man, “Go go go, don’t stop!!!”

The bike man took me to Allen avenue before I came down. I
held on to this handkerchief like my life depended on it. Fam, I
was a big boy now. They were going to respect me now. I had
officially arrived. Do they know those of us that have Q10?
Shiiii.

So I said, let me check my phone jare. I unwrapped the hanky.
Children of God, I unwrapped the hanky – and looking at me
in all it’s glory was a bright white bar of B29 soap. I looked at
the soap, the soap looked at me…I looked at the soap. I poked
the soap. Maybe this was a case for the phone. I turned the
soap over. No buttons, No screen. I was weak, guys. I was
weak. I stood there for some minutes staring at this soap.
Look. I took the quickest bike back to Computer Village. Of
course, it was instinct. I didn’t see the seller. I still had the
bloody soap. One idiot there now asked me, “Broda, why you
dey para? Dem no give you the cream wey dey follow the
soap?”

Ladies and gentlemen, I had sold my phone and paid extra
N10, 000 for B29 soap (with no accompanying cream). That’s
most likely the most expensive B29 soap in the history of
Nigeria.

I Have to borrow my aunts phone for the main time

But the poster is lying. This is not a true experience of yours. This happened way back in 2008 and it happened to my friend. He narrated the story to me and on twitter as well. You just changed the brand of the phones involved but copied every other parts of his story word for word. mehn! You guys should learn to be original.

You can find the original piece here. http://mobilityarena.com/the-b29-story-phone-swap-gone-bad/ .

Please learn to be original or at least, acknowledge that this isn't your story.

soap over. No buttons, No screen. I was weak, guys. I was
weak. I stood there for some minutes staring at this soap.
Look. I took the quickest bike back to Computer Village. Of
course, it was instinct. I didn’t see the seller. I still had the
bloody soap. One idiot there now asked me, “Broda, why you
dey para? Dem no give you the cream wey dey follow the
soap?”

Ladies and gentlemen, I had sold my phone and paid extra
N10, 000 for B29 soap (with no accompanying cream). That’s
most likely the most expensive B29 soap in the history of
Nigeria.

I Have to borrow my aunts phone for the main time

But the poster is lying. This is not a true experience of yours. This happened way back in 2008 and it happened to my friend. He narrated the story to me and on twitter as well. You just changed the brand of the phones involved but copied every other parts of his story word for word. mehn! You guys should learn to be original.

You can find the original piece here. http://mobilityarena.com/the-b29-story-phone-swap-gone-bad/ .

Please learn to be original or at least, acknowledge that this isn't your story.

grin cheesy grin grin
mine happened at oshodi oke, bros i don go hustle hard all day, i made about #3500, on my return journey i met this dude with all sort of phones displayed on his table, i picked one red phone, the price was too good to be true, ah #1200 for a working phone? What really convinced me was that i made and received calls before payment, bro it was when i got home that things began to fall apart, suddenly my cheap phone began to open from different corners as if the glue that held it had expired, i saw all sort of junk inside my phone that got me wondering how i was ever able to make calls with the junk, i tried selling it but none would buy, eventually i threw it away.

Heazy2015:
I had been usiing my Blackberry Bold 5. I think. One
of those camera phones and it was clear that The Lord
wanted me to upgrade. A new year beckoned and I wanted to
enter it with one of those phones that used stylus and were
y’know big. So, ladies and gentlemen, I proceeded to proceed to
Computer Village to make my dream a reality. I had with me
my old phone and about N10, 000. The plan of course was to
do a swap, add some cash and get the precious Q10. Gosh, I
was so excited.

That’s how I got there with my own two legs and saw those
guys that sell phones on the street. Asked one if he had the
phone o, he said yes. Can’t remember his name sha, but he sha
showed me the Q10. I played with it, even made a demo call
and all to be sure it worked. Baba took me off the street saying,
“We can’t do business here o, before these agberos will ask you
to settle them”. So, he took me to a shed. All this while, he
wrapped the Q10 in a white handkerchief saying he didn’t
want it to scratch and that’s how he keeps his phones. Me that I
wasn’t even paying attention. I was just excited ‘cos my level
was about to change. Nigga just give me phone, abeg.

So, we’re chilling in this shed, negotiating. He says I’m going
to have to give up my phone and cash. I’m like, “How much?”
He says like N15, 000. I’m like, “Just look at this scam. I’ll
give you N10, 000 last.” He mutters some shot and agrees. He
takes my phone to check it. He then tells me he’s going to stop
a bike for me so that no agberos will disturb me immediately
we’re done. I’m like Okak. He takes the N10, 000, counts it
and then gets a bike for me. He tells me not to stop o because
these agberos. So he hands me the handkerchief.

Men and brethren, I got on this bike so excited and told the
bike man, “Go go go, don’t stop!!!”

The bike man took me to Allen avenue before I came down. I
held on to this handkerchief like my life depended on it. Fam, I
was a big boy now. They were going to respect me now. I had
officially arrived. Do they know those of us that have Q10?
Shiiii.

So I said, let me check my phone jare. I unwrapped the hanky.
Children of God, I unwrapped the hanky – and looking at me
in all it’s glory was a bright white bar of B29 soap. I looked at
the soap, the soap looked at me…I looked at the soap. I poked
the soap. Maybe this was a case for the phone. I turned the
soap over. No buttons, No screen. I was weak, guys. I was
weak. I stood there for some minutes staring at this soap.
Look. I took the quickest bike back to Computer Village. Of
course, it was instinct. I didn’t see the seller. I still had the
bloody soap. One idiot there now asked me, “Broda, why you
dey para? Dem no give you the cream wey dey follow the
soap?”

Ladies and gentlemen, I had sold my phone and paid extra
N10, 000 for B29 soap (with no accompanying cream). That’s
most likely the most expensive B29 soap in the history of
Nigeria.
