I be no wan talk before Ooh!! But Kayharry did this thing to me too.

For those who can remember, they was a time a registered 05 Pathfinder was placed for sale at 500k on Nairaland auto section.

I responded because I used to see KayHarry's ads on OLX a lot so I assumed he was a reliable dealer.

I called him and he said the car was available but there was someone inspecting the car as we speak. I fly bike from festac to oshodi with a mechanic to agbado jaiye - on your way to Ota - got to Jankara market.

When we got there, they showed me an 01 pathfinder - a different car altogether - I called KayHarry only for him say he wants to call the car owner that he will call me back - he never called back.

Then they took me and the mechanic to an inner workshop away from the main road and we saw the car. They said the car cost 800k, I protested and called Kayharry (that said he will get back to me). He now said that the car has been sold, I said I was looking at the car, he now said that I was now dealing with the new owner who wants to resell and that the price was #520K.

I said but you put 500k on Nairaland plus I called you when I first made enquiries and you said 500k; Kayharry deny himself say na 520k e tell me. I say Ok, I recheck Nairaland see 500K I no bother. (I became suspicious at this point, as in was the car bought for so less than 500 that the new owner is willing to sell for 520k)

I now told the guy in front of me that I will pay 520k, he said no issues and asked if I wanted to pay in cash or kind, I said I needed to see the documents of car first and inspect it (because the car was locked) before we talk of money now, abi.

He said we should go and meet the owner, we waka Oooh, till he took us to another person. That one said the owner left the car in his care and that they was nothing wrong with the car but the only thing was that the car was smoking a little bit and that just changing valve seal or so would stop it.

I ask mechanic how much it will cost in his presence, mechanic smiled and said it shouldnt be more than 15k - 20k tops. The next thing, the baba dey ask me whether I wan pay now in cash or transfer.

I asked say whether them no dey inspect car Jankara market before them buy am; at that point he said he wants to call the owner and he left us.

Immediately he left, my mechanic say na lie the baba dey lie, say valve seal or whatever it was no dey make engine smoke. Say na to change engine and the engines cost hundreds of thousands of Naira.

10minutes later, the guy came back and said that he has spoken to owner that he is on his way. That the guy is at Oshodi and he is with the car keys.

Na that time me come dey suspect say na 419 them be wan play me (else why ask me about paying when I haven't even seen the engine, or seen the interior, they just pointed to a parked car that was locked and were asking me to play like say na promo or special offer whey fit go anytime).

I now called KayHarry and this is exactly what I said, word for word "Guy nawa for you, you fvck up, next time when you wan market car whey no be your own, dey try do research on the car first. Habaaa. You said nothing do the car, everything is working "pafectly" meanwhile engine dey smoke, you talk one price online, I don reach here now another price, I call you, ask you whether make I show, you say make I show meanwhile no way to confirm the car................."

KayHarry firmly interrupted said shebi I "call you" (false because the 3 times we spoke I called him even though he said he will call back) tell you say person dey already inspect the car before you come plus I tell say e don already buy am..........why you come dey talk trash for my ear? Guy, fvck off............."

And he hung up on me, I wanted to call him back but I remembered that I didn't even know who I was talking with.

Come to think of it, from the very beginning when I made enquiries till that moment everything had had said was inconsistent at best and at worst lies so what will calling him achieve?? I was even going to raise the issue on the Ad he placed on Nairaland but I felt no need; you would need to super foolish to deal with a person who didn't even bother to be physically present at the scene where the car was so I locked up.

Don't know about you but the pattern discussed by the Op was used by KayHarry on me. Na the 3k whey I blow on biking up and down with my mechanic in the rain all the way first Festac to catch a "sweet" deal na e pain me!!

But in the end, I rather lose 3K anyday than lose 500K to a faceless and ficticious bastard, wannabe car dealer anywhere, anytime, anyday.

Today I have increase in knowledge. To be more fearful of people around me in moments of joy. I think people of the world who openly wish us well do actually love to see us suffer or below them.

Sometimes I feel God is protecting us by limiting our success at a particular time or place. If u prosper in a wrong environment ur life may be in danger.

Now I understsnd why God ask Abraham to move away from his people. Fear umu-uwa.

Rest in peace to the dead.

Imagine the hatred

TonyeBarcanista:
The problem with this flawed school of thought is that it has equated Niger Delta struggle with individual hustles, and continue to appreciate it within the context of this flawed system of Nigeria.

Niger Delta struggle is not about 13% or enriching governors or criminal gangs, it has nothing to do with creating agencies and ministry like NDDC and NDA Ministry. We don't want all those.

In the opening paragraph I specifically listed some Acts of parliament that is aimed at holding us to ransom.

What is 13% that doesn't go to the oil producing communities directly but instead shared by politicians? Is that a system?Who needs 13% and allocation from Abuja when we are talking of hosts controlling these resources and remiting allocation to Abuja(like it is done in saner climes)? The system must come first to loosen local leadership from the apron of Abuja deciders, and empower locals to elect their leaders, as well as kick out any fraudulent leaders.

I think you need orientation on what Niger Delta wants.
