Today, i decided to go sell off my ipad 3 and ipad 2 which i didn't frequently use,the ipad 3 has a cracked screen and the ipad 2 was fully functional... so i headed out to emeka offor's plaza from my place in asaba, i was filled with so much enthusiasm and optimism even though today was my first day of selling a gadget in a market like that..
Upon my arrival to the market, just at the entrance, i met two boys who asked if i came to repair or sell, i told them i wanna sell, they said i should follow them, we got to a shop and they asked the guy if he was interested and the guy nodded and said he was, then they said lets go and check if the gadgets had faults, we got to another shop and the guy said he would check for the faults by scanning with a laptop, he said it was #20 for each faults the system detects, before he started the scan i told him i only had 900naira on me as my tfare back to asaba and didnt have much to pay for scan, he went ahead because he had a plan in mind, at the end of the scan for the two devices, the total price came out as 17980naira...Jesus Christ i screamed, he said, bros am done with the scan and repair, i was like which repair Immediately the whole boys started gathering and saying bros "give the engineer im money na"
My head was full, i was angry and felt cheated, knowing fully well he did nothing but just run a normal scan which i witnessed...
I continously begged the guy and the boys there,even with igbo language but to no avail, at the end of the day, the engineer who has been admiring my blackberry Z10 now said i should sell my bb Z10 to him for 10k and he will balance me 5k or i drop the two ipads and go to asaba and bring his 17k,they had already seized the two ipads and threatened to call market security, i ended up selling the bb Z10 which i had and went home with 5k and still didnt sell the two ipads.....
Am angry and making this thread from the bus on my way home...
Will i like to do business with an igbo man again?? No......

He can make up his mind to do business with non-Ibo traders. Anyone can import and open a 2x2 corner shop.

OP @obaino860

Your last mistake was when they scared you with security. The security that they're afraid of. It's not late yet, Something can still be done. Go back there and ask a shop owner to direct you to the security of the market. They are on 2nd floor behind the opposite building. Lay your complaint and as long as you can still recognize them, all your money will be given back to you - every single kobo.

Trust me, I sell in that market almost weekly

This is 50 shades of wrong, what is wrong with these boys. Op I feel your pain, but really if you're not from the streets don't go doing any business on the streets. But please this is not an Igbo thing, there's crime everywhere, the one chance people currently roaming Lagos are they Igbo? And how can you just turn and go home after you were hoodwinked? U didn't go to the police? Even the market security could have helped you recover your things.

I can't believe that the world or better still Nigeria is like this now. just imagine people commenting as if nothing actually happened. No wonder alot of Nigerians cannot live abroad without showing this horrible attitude.

Never trade with an Ibo man again. You've been forwarned. We've had many threads like this one pop up.




It is about Ibos. That's why Yorubas will always control the business sector while y'all continue with your trading. .


dude,,,u control d business sectors,,,, yet brown roof is everywhere in your cities...try get some sense....

I live in Onitsha.. every market has cheats and rogues, it still doesn't change the fact that there are genuine people also In that market.

When did this happen? Do you know the particular shop where this happened? can you recognize their faces? I could help if you haven't given up on retrieving your phone + other effects..
it feels bad these rogues giving my city a bad name

It's a pity what you went through.

But this your idea of indirectly tagging every Igbo man as a cheat should be condemned. That someone from another ethnic group duped me will not stop me doing business with them. I'll have to be more careful next time.

Peace!

Mehn. It was crazy joor... Main thing is that i shared my experience so many more doesn't have to go through it again...
almost same thing happened to a military officer sometimes ago, people who reside in Akure will know olukayode shopping complex in Akure. The man was on mufty a senior officer I later found out. He came there to repair a tablet and laptop. He was so gentle in the face. After scanning they just told him scanning and repair cost 23k. He was like how much is the price of these things I brought self. But it seems engineers in that complex do cooperate to obtain customers. They seized both devices and tell him to bring their money,he was just smiling,climbed down two stairs and made a phone call. Long story short,every engineer on that second floor both the ones that new about it and the ones just coming, wept that day after series of real flogging. They repaired the gadgets,changes the case for free and ended up chopping several lashes of koboko.

Next time i wanna do biz with an igbo man then i will go with two or three persons and if possible a police man


When u ended ur statement with I will not do business with an Igbo man again... I just got tired..

Why generalize something u had wit some street guys? Hey.. Street guys like that are every where and among all tribes in Nigeria... Where I stay, there is a place known as sabo dominated by Hausa people.. If u wana sell or buy phone/gadget there...if u are not wise.. They will maga u... Will I now come and be saying I will not do business wit an Hausa man again? Lolz.. What about computer village in Lagos? My brother..they are every where.. Not an Igbo thing. Okay.. Learn to be smart when going to the black market.

I recently sold a phone in sabo to an Hausa guy...he wanted to act smart...I placed fear in him. I told him street don't cheat street.. (Funny enough...I know nothing about street life.) But I codedly put fear in him. They are always in company of their criminal mates. Next time...smart up. Sorry all the same
