Story of naija thanks to our fking importer exporters. One time I bought three different kettles which failed in different ways.

There is no padlock sold in this country that does not rust in the first exposure to water

Years ago, Bought a. 10k backpack that commenced unravelling immediately I started using it

You buy rechargeable lamps which fail on two months

You buy football shoes for your son which fail in one term

This country is a fking dumping ground

Yes. It happened just yesterday! My babe bought a hair to resell for business. She got it at 24k from one of the online Instagram vendors. It was delivered to her and it was total crap.. Unfortunately, she wouldn't get a refund. And the seller stopped picking her calls. I was furious and pissed. and it turned out like I was blaming her, girls ehn undecided


Don't trust all these Instagram Vendors! They have flashy business pages. But what they deliver sometimes are crap!

You see those bed sheets wrapped, packed and sealed in nylon, of which you can't determine the quality till you go home and open it, don't ever buy that thing, or rather, buy at your own discretion.

Bought one, only to discover that the quality is on par with waterproof. That type they call ''madam sorry''.

Slept on the damned bed sheet, woke up this morning only to see that the flowery design it has, has been imprinted on my singlet angry

3k wasted!!

I quietly repackaged it, and gifted it to my neighbour; a Christian brother, who exhausted all his ''God bless you'' on me cheesy

Patiently waiting for him to sleep and wake up tomorrow morning. grin

Once bought a tecno phone that lasted just 3 months and I am not kidding. The first emotion that crept up on me was anger which was contradicted by the tears that threatened to escape in all its glory. Since then, I have loathed all things tecno. The company is a fraud...

**Now just angry**

But why will your babe buy sth on Instagram to resell? People that will put like 10k on the normal price. She should have bought offline with quality, and gotten bigger gain.

Yeah! Especially on Jumia.
Those items on display, i wonder where they get those pictures from, but in reality, Damn it! they don't usually come as they look
But trust me, in my last purchase of a sneaker and a pair of skirt, which was over inferior for my liking, compared to the picture i saw online, i returned the goods on the spot at the pick-up centre, i didn't bother leaving with the items, i requested for a refund asap, and of course i got my money back.
I actually love their refund policy though, no stress

Sometime ago, I bought a 'made in Aba top', and was feeling like a 'fashionista', (since I thought the design was great). That day, I just kept perambulating at work while stylishly advertising my outfit. Unknown to me, the joining at the back was torn. To worsen matters, I even went to do cash lodgement at the bank, and no one was kind enough to bring my attention to it. A colleague even said afterwards that she thought I knew about it. I was like: "heck! How could I possibly know and still walk around comfortably"?

I eventually got to know about it when an office client brought my attention to it. I was so embarrassed, and I didn't know what to do. When I regained composure, I had to remove the top, and the office assistant saved my day by taking it to a nearby tailoring shop for a quick mend.

Since that incident, I vowed never to buy a "made in Aba' top again cos I realized that such tops are usually made with inferior materials, and the stitches are also very poor and weak.

Is your babe a learner? Majority of the hair vendors are scammers. Tell her to find someone that knows market well, Lagos, Aba, Onitsha... those major markets have importers. Though they will most likely sell at wholesale quantities. That way she can make good spread.

Sorry about her experience.

Share your experiences.

I guess you buy from the Mallams,

We have different type of bedsheets materials in the market and the mallam hawking it on the road goes for the least.

Buy from me, my bedsheets are of good cotton materials, no fading or shedding.

And the good news is , they are quite affordable.

This is the earliest of the early harvest season so the water content of the rice is still high just like in new yam.
The pressure of the border closure is making people to mill and sell rice they should've allowed to dry for some weeks.
Buy by early or mid December, you'll enjoy it.
Patronize my Abakaliki rice and you'll never go back to foreign rice.
