Bcs majority of those you mentioned don't have the mind to pay huge sum of money to rent a single shop...most igbos have biz mind. Shop rent there no be child play. |

OP thank God you left with something. I had a similar experience years back in Opa Iweka market Onitsha. The first and last time I would visit Onitsha market alone to buy something, especially electronics. Your only crime was that you went alone. Next time, if ever go with someone who knows the market well. When mine happened many years back I almost cried my eyes out because I had actually saved that money to buy a very good sound system, as it was called then. I didn't get anything close to what I went for and I was almost rubbed of the remaining money with me and declared a thief to be stoned and burned with tires. From just two boys that I met in the shop when I came they became 6 boys with me alone in the shop. They fought me and spoilt some things I had already bought before getting to their shop. It was God that kept me alive and saved me from there hand. It was a very traumatic experience I didn't forget in a hurry. Kpele... Try to get over it and move on. Better things to come your way... Okay? 1 Like |

op, from 55k to 25k u sef no fear? But sincerely, those alaba guys are wicked, I also experienced same when I went to purchase a 32' smart tv for a client, paid 55k and they refused to release the goods, after much argument, l parted with extra 5k, got home to discover the tv was region locked to asia. so painful. Also happened to a friend, he ended up collecting fake Chinese woofer after much argument, funny thing is there is a market task force thats suppose to regulate these things, but they choose to ignore them. All sorts of fraud are perpetrated there daily, l lost so much money in that market back then. |

stanvesco: You call that mere intimidation? Not sure if you have been in that situation before. Well I don't wish anyone to be. They will not allow you to leave untill you agree to their terms. Worse is that if you try to raise alarm they will shout Ole on the person and jungle justice may take place instantly. |
