eyaa! that emeka offor plaza is the new iweka road in onitsha where scammers operate with gut.people should just be careful.Government should do something about consumer rights.nonsense Nigeria.

I wonder what kind of symbian phone will be sold for such low amt. I could remember the first fairly used symbian phone i bought from emeka offor plaza was sold for 15k on 2010. So i wonder hw u managed to buy urs at such amt. Roadside sellers who collaborates wit shop owners probably must hv chop u mugu. I had similar experience at ogbete main mkt Enugu early 2009 in my 100 level. I was deceived into buying a china phone with the name suntech in the guise of samsung.

ok...

guy things like dat dey happen evryday for such places happen everyday....

Can't stop laughing when I first saw the caption of this thread.

Bros, I practically relate to your storyline. It happened to me 2009 when I went for holidays at Onitsha. After my stay with my brother at Fegge, I went to Emeka Offor's plaza to buy one Chinese phone called Gi-tide that was in vogue then.

When I stepped-in to the plaza, some guys were beckoning on me to buy phone from them while some other guys declared interest to help me buy the desired phone that I needed.
Finally, I chose to follow one slender bloke who offered to take me to where I 'll buy it cheaper. My reason was that I can take it up with him if he decides to act funny not knowing that they have strings of contingent.

To cut the story short, I followed him to the main plaza where we finally bought the phone after haggling on the price. Then I payed the lady that sold the phone to me and we walked downstairs to the open busy areas where there were lots of other guys that sat adjacent to each other with their laptops downloading music for some of there customers.

While we were at the upstairs, this guy asked if I wants to download music and I nodded in affirmative with the excitement that filled my heart because of the new phone I 'd just acquired not knowing that this guy has some aces up his sleeves.

We walked straight downstairs, followed right then turned left in the array of DJs and some phone retailers that sampled their phones in a transparent show glasses. We walked passed them, move into the inner chamber of the suites. He introduced me to one huge guy with frightening biceps, fear gripped me but I don't want to show it. Then I maintain my indifferent mood as he offered me chair. I sat down, fumbled inside my pocket and brought out my new phone then showed him. He complimented me after tossing it around.

"Bros you be big boy ooh! see the kind phone wey you just go buy. How much kill this machine " he asked rather sarcastically. I laughed and thanked him. Then told him that I bought it for N3,300.
I never wanted to show my fear there especially when I looked up to him and see the dark sunglass he enshrined his eyes.

I asked him amidst his compliment 'how much do you download songs, movies and pictures?' He told me that music is N20, movie N30 and pictures N10 for each of them. After telling me their prices, I did a mental calculation on how to download them.

I 'd N700 with me including my transport back to fegge. I thought of downloading 20musics for N400, 5movies for N150 and 5picture for N50 hoping that I 'll still have some balance that 'll. be enough for my T-fare back to my hood.

I told him what I thought amidst the humming sound of Wizboyy's Owusagi track that was blaring from a six loader home theatre. I thought he heard me not knowing that it's was one of their gimmicks to disclaim that he didn't heard what I said cos he went ahead and transferred 403 songs with 5pictures and 5 music videos.

After fiddling with his laptop's mouse, he said that my money totalled N1,060. I screamed! "But I never say you should download such number for me" I barked.

"Listen young man! If you don't want to pay me my money, I 'll seize your phone" he retorted back at me.
Fear catch me and I started begging them please. I told him that the only money I had on me was N700 including my transport. That they should consider me and give me N50 which I 'll use for my transport.
All my pleas went on a deaf ear...

After everything, he agreed to give me back my phone when one of their contingent interfered on the matter on my behalf. I was so elated that I promised to send the guy N750 MTN recharge card when I gets to the house.

I briskly walked away from the plaza down to the main road, flagged down a moving transit bus then jumped inside almost immediately . Upper-iweka here we go!
While I was inside the bus heading to upper Iweka, I fumbled inside my pocket brought out my new phone to admire the new piece of Chinese technology I just got for my self. I fixed-on my headphones to my ears, fiddling with it. I turned it on, pressed the "menu button"...media, ... music...play all music... then it occurred to me that this guys just duped me. All the songs he downloaded inside the memory card can't play more than 7seconds and it 'll stopped.

There are both good nd bad ppl at Emeka ofor. I bought my Tecno P5 there. After a week or two, i realized the phone didnt have 3G: the option where u select it is blank. Again the internal memory was about a hundred Mb only. I had travelled to PH. I took it around PH to know if it could be repaired to no avail. When i finally returned to Anambra. I went to Emeka Ofor, they told me it was nt their fault that there was nfing they could do, that it was from the batch. All the phones from the same batch had the problem. I decided to go and manage the phone like that na. B4 then, i had bought some good phones like the Nokia C1 i bought in 2011 which i'm actualy using to type this

SkinnyDude:
and i heard police men don't arrest people there.. too bad

do police arrest agberos in lagos? Even when they see them harrasing bus drivers? Those guys settle them wella. Have you forgotten d stuff Nigerian police are made of?

Op, they gave me a fake phone there in 2013. I returned home and plugged it before ten minute it wrote 'battery full' after 5 mins when i unplugged it, "battery low" i started examining the phone before i discoverd it was a china phone( a phone i bought 18k) we went back on monday and argued with them. Infact we delibrately shouted the whole place to a stand still (they fear any thing that will spoil their market)

well they later changed it for a new and original phone which is still working well.
