I went for monthly shopping and spent over 100k on provisions and childcare items. Put them in a barrow and was following the barrow closely. Told him to wait while i buy cashew nut and he stopped. Took my eyes off him for maybe one minute and he dissapered. I searcher the whole mareket foor over 4hours, reported to market security . . . No sign of him.

That's how I lost everything I bought that day.

Had to come back the next day to buy the exact same items. So annoying and frustrating.

I guess he used jazz to escape with your heavy load within one minute

I don't even understand this your post. Are you upset because the seller threw the bag (you didn't even say where he/she threw it to), or because you can't see your niggas?? What is the correlation between not seeing your niggas and your annoying market experience?

He went to buy weed and found the bag of weed and then smoked alone while pretending to be sad at not seeing his friends.

Oji River Market, one December, I wanted to buy garden eggs, while pricing and selecting the ones I wanted, the seller who was actually chewing one of the garden eggs suddenly sneezed and guess wat, mucor filled saliva came out of her mouth straight unto the garden eggs on the table for sale.
She didn't even realise it, me I quickly took off I no buy again.

Nigerian markets are filled with drama. Today i will like to share some of my annoying market experience.

1. Last year i was passing through the market but was blocked by an igbo man that i should come and buy his bedsheets, i told him i was just passing. While we were altercating another man came and met us that i should buy shoes from his shop i told them i was not interested. They both started dragging me each telling me to go to his shop i angrily told them to back off that they are harrassing me and they stop.

2. I went to buy shoes on a faithful day when a man told me he knows where i can buy correct shoes. He took me to the place and after buying the shoe, he told me the shoe can easy get spoiled that he will take me to the guy that will help me fix shoe nails for free. We went there and i ask the guy hope its free he said yes. After he added the shoe nails to my shoe he told me it was 1500 naira. I was flabbergasted and petplexed, i told him didnt he said it was free. He said he doesn’t like such nonsense thats it's the first one that is for free. Before i know many people gathered around because we were seriously quarelling. Then the initial man that brought me there said he will pay 1000 naira and i will pay the remaining 500naira i was angry. I just had to close my eyes and pay that money.

3. Another day i bought some pair of shoes and while coming back. A man who was sitting down was shouting bros, bros i am talking to you come and enter my shop. In my mind i was like "see this man o is it jazz you are using that will make you enter my shop.

So, whats your annoying market Experience?
I almost had a similar experience to number 2 about 2 years back. Just finished buying shoes and was about to leave, one guy just held the shoe and was seriously struggling it with me that he wants to go and put pin to make it last and that he'll also expand the shoe for me. See as I just changed it for the guy. That's the scam they do, they'll tell you it's free and that they normally do it for the seller's customers. Before you can say yes or no they've opened your shoe so you have no choice but for them to finish it. Then they'll start shouting that you're owing then a certain amount for the job they've done.

My own is with Nigerian police. I was driving with a friend and was stop by a hungry police. He asked for the usual particulars in which i had except a driver license. He entered the car after threathening us and told me to drive him to the police station. He said we are too young to even have a car and we must be doing yahoo. After begging and saluting this policeman, we had to lie that the car belongs to our uncle in Abuja and we are doing his errands. He gave me two options which was
1, He will seize the car after and i must pay N50k to his oga at the top at the police station if i want the car back.
2, i must give him N10k on the spot and he will let me go instantly.
I told me that i was a student and don't even 5k talkless of 10k. I ended up giving him N3k after my friend and I beg and hail this olopa for almost 1 hour.

At Alaba market when I started a mini business that time. Those Alaba boys realised that I was new in that environment from the way I speak normal English instead pidgin. I keep seeing them everywhere I go. Their sole aim was to rob me but at the end I went home without buying anything.. The following day I went there again still didn't buy anything until I realized that they are no longer following me. Then third day I bought my stuff and left 4 my state... Alaba is a very bad place to start buying stuff

You mean they wanted to rob you of the stuffs you buy?

It happened in Lagos. Ikotun Market to be precise.

A very fat, dark woman with prominent tribal scars washed her child's anus, dried her hands on her wrapper and wanted to sell Ijebu garri to me with the same disease infested hands. She even scooped a few grains for "tasting", claiming her people make the best drinking garri in the country.

I came to a conclusion that moment. They are all the same, extremely dirty with zero personal hygiene.

It's so annoying, I'm asking for one thing and you're giving me another! I'll just quietly turn and walk away from the shop.

Mine was a short but unforgettable one. Happened at Idumota, this Igbo guy dragged me and I had to lie to him I would patronise him on my way back.

But I was carried away and forgotten about him, I mistakenly passed the same route and before I could remember, I was already close to his shop. As I was trying to dodge him from seeing me.

The unexpected happened, I fell inside one gutter littered with plastics and nylons. Las las, na my friend(Igbo cloth seller) bring me out with a bleeding knee.

Lol kinda Hilarious

Na wao, what an experience. At least you recovered all the goods.


sonnie10:
I bought some items at Lagos Island and the store owner assured me that the Alabaeru girl standing near his store was a regular helper and I that could trust her with my goods. So I gave her the items to carry to my driver at the park. She called others to help since I bought a lot of things. To my surprise, when I got to my car, there was nothing. I immediately went back to the shop and informed the owner who introduced me to this alabaeru. He denied knowing them and said I gave them the goods at my own risk.
I search the whole market but did not find them. Fast forward to 2 months later, I went to mile2 owode mechanic village to fix my car and saw the alabaeru girl there. I held her and called police.
She was arrested and she confessed of diverting the goods. She later took us to the shops in Oshodi and Mushin where she had sold the items.
I recovered everything.

Mine was 2017. I visited one of the Cyber cafes in Rumuokoro to process my post utme stuff, I met the girl in charge and told her I want to fill in my details in ***NDU'S student portal**. The school's site wasn't opening, she told me my bill was #500. I told her I'm giving her #100 cos the school's site did not open, to my surprise she held my bag saying I've finished her data blah blah blah. I thought she was joking for like 30 minutes I tried explaining to her that the total data consumed wasn't up to 1mb. The semi-possessed girl refused, saying I should wait for her madam to come, finally her madam came and I explained everything to this woman. You won't believe this woman told me if I don't pay she would call tout to help her take the money, I felt like crying that day finally she took the #500.
