Like minds would always agree.... A thief and a buyer of stolen items are inseparable criminals.. QED
You don't get it, do you?

The only way one can avoid it is to stop buying second hand gadgets aka UK used. Laptops, psvista etc

The hard reality is that second hand market is cheaper and commands more sales. Many wouldn't have access to such gadgets except through such means.

Question is how will you know a second hand gadget was stolen?

This one is just mad. Would they write "stolen" on the phone?
He quoted some points. Eg Someone talked about a teenage girl wanting to sell a laptop for 7k at New Benin market.
You should know the girl cannot be the owner, she is not a laptop seller and has no shop.
Just hurriedly selling at a corner, if you have 5k cash on you, she can sell it.
But you and I know that a laptop is very far from that price, so you should know it's stolen.

Instead of all these, the NCC should enforce implementation of Equipment Identity Register (EIR) on gsm operators so that stolen phones will be blocked automatically.

I don't understand the way people like you reason!

When a good development arises people like you are ready to counter it!

Are u kicking against the nice move from the police force or what's the reason for saying the above? angry

Misplaced priorities.. Even God has forsaken this country cos everything is just wrong with her. She's headed towards doom....

How can the police even ascertain whether a phone was stolen or not when they're busy collecting N50 roger from motorists on the road?

Especially commercial drivers. It has now become mandatory in the southern region and absolutely nothing is being done by the so called authorities to curb the despicable practice. Nigerian law makers are a shameless failure. May God punish their callous souls for eternity...angry angry angry

How can one identify a stolen phone?
My advice for you is "Don't buy second-hand phone!". Gather enough money to get new one.

If you are to buy phone hand to hand, ask the person to provide proof of ownership (the receipt of the phone).

U lack comprehension which compounds your frustration....
Your quest for stolen items and cheap goods has made you to quote me and clear the national doubts on your foolishness...


Go back and look at my comment letter to letter.
Common sense is not common..
Does every tokumbo amount to stolen goods??
Did the police emphasize on tokumbo??
Go back to the zoo for reformation
Don't gamble with ur stupidity... It's a rare commodity...

All the second hand cars you’re buying from europe, so you know it’s source??

The police should do its job rather than punish people that are trying to survive. Rich/ comfortable people don’t buy second hand phones.
Nigerian laws are for the poor and average people.
Get the money / power in this country and you can get away with anything in this country.

According to our laws, it's easy to convince the judge yoiu did not know it was stolen. All you have to do is show that
(1) You bought it from a market or shop where used phones are sold
(2) What you paid is within the price range such a phone would normally command
(3) You bought it in the day time

Sometimes I feel so bad about the comments I see on Nlds, as if some people coments just for coment sake or that's how daft they are or been sarcasm, or just cant digest nor they are just doing it for fun, they will totally deviate from context of the message to criticize then if fall victim they started shouting, calling names, stay off stolen items that's the message yet very difficult for u to comprehend
