tongue tongue

Tanchu oooooo. cheesy grin

So, this morning, I needed to get to the next street to drop something for someone. I set out with my sister, I was giving her update on the sex story that we both missed. We were both engrossed in our gist and missed two soldiers standing outside their gate. Gbam! These guys called us to come back(my heartbeat don skip grin), asked if our parents were home, I wanted to reply and the idiot told me to shut up because my eyes were big and asked us to go on our knees shocked( I almost laughed out loud, thank God I didn't). Well, my sister answered in the affirmative, they asked if we greeted them before leaving the house. Lol. The question weak me but we nodded sha, na so dem begin oooo. "You're rude, yenyenyenyen". After few minutes, we were told to get up and leave.


I tried to apologize and greet, all the idiots could say was " Sorry for yourself" cheesy grin

We took another route on our way back.

That's how one harrased me during my service year. I went to a bukka to eat on a rainy day. Nigga was inside and suddenly went all, "you can't greet, right?! You don't have respect is it because you're a corper" Hian. I wanted to ask if greeting was his birthright o, but sha held my tongue cheesy

Two weeks later I heard the man was dead, and I remembered wishing he'd just disappear from this world for bullying me sad

I liked Angel before. I thought he was a really eloquent and smart guy. Today I like him even more.
While the hair dressers were handing them hair products, Angel was the only one I heard who bothered to say "thank you."

Business / Re: Is Jumia Into Scamming Now? by UjSizzle(f): 8:44pm On Jan 28, 2018
Haven't had a bad experience with them before.

My colleague ordered a pair of shoes using my account late last year. It arrived this month but was a size smaller than she expected.

I called their Customer Care office, asked that the shoe be picked up. They wanted to know if I wanted a cash refund (I used JumiaPay) or a voucher. I picked the former.

Someone came for the shoe the next day, and I got my refund within 2 weeks I think.

I suppose I was lucky, because a lecturer of mine didn't get the same after they cancelled his order because his items were out of stock. It took them a considerable length of time to even offer a refund. And when they did, they insisted it had to be a voucher for that amount instead of cash. That was wrong considering they were the ones who cancelled his order. I don't get why he's being compelled to buy something else from them.

I have had a similar issue but with their sister company, Domino Pizza at Emperoh Estate beside Novare Mall.

I went there with my kids to get pizza. When I got to the cashpoint, I called my husband to ask what he wanted which I relayed to them. My kids wanted to pee so I took them to their toilet. By the time I returned, I started looking for my phone.

I checked my bag, pockets, toilet etc It was nowhere in sight. I told them my issue and they said it cannot be a staff. I asked to view the CCTV and they said it can only be viewed by their HQ. That I should come back later that day. I asked to talk to their manager and they said he wasn't around.

Someone mentioned that they were viewing the CCTV so I should wait. Ate the pizza, left the kids to play a bit. Went back to ask and they started another story. At this point, I lost it and started making a scene. Someone said I should check my car. Why should I when I made a call right there.

Tracked the phone via Google and it pointed to the phone being at that spot before it went offline. They told me to go and they would call me when they could view the CCTV. I left as I had a movie to catch thinking that the phone was lost forever. Only to get to my unlocked car, to see the phone there.

I checked the last call and it showed that it was to my husband 15 minutes ago which was when I was in the pizza place. Didn't bother to go back as I knew they were covering for their employee. Seems like it is their new modus operandi.
Thanks for sharing this.

I just knew this would be a regular occurrence.

Wait!
First and foremost, I admire the way you write, it shows you are educated.
Secondly, you sound rich, and I believe you are.
But what I don't understand is bringing this to a public forum after reporting to the Police! Why is everybody suddenly trying to get sympathy from the public at the detriment of others? Truth be told, what those guys Coldstone Creamery were trying to do was just ''playing safe'', and you should have given them reasonable time even before reporting to the police.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Because the only true way to get anyone's attention in this country is to take it to the public court.

I was only following protocol. I don't enjoy spilling my business online, but I also don't like being lied to repeatedly especially after I offered a hand of civility.

They messed up a full week for me and caused me enough emotional trauma to last the year.

I'm not looking for public sympathy; that's not what this is about.
I simply want people to know the level of nonsense we deal with in this country.

It's a Sunday and we got there at different hours.
First person by 12.
Next two by 2 and the 4th person by 3pm.

Business / Coldstone Creamery Is Trying To Cover Up A Theft At Their Lekki Outlet by UjSizzle(f): 11:30pm On Jan 26, 2018
It's a long read but bear with me.

On Sunday the 21st of January, I was at Coldstone creamery Admiralty way Lekki with my girlfriends between 12pm and 5pm. We were the only customers seated there when we went to get ice creams. Our bags were left on the chairs we occupied. When we got back, my bag was gone.

We alerted the staff to narrate the incident and told them we saw one of their staff heading towards our sitting area while we were getting ice cream. They found said staff but he denied taking any bag. Considering where the bag was kept, you’d have to be at our table to see it.
1. First he said he came to clean our table but saw a bag and concluded the customers were still around.
2. Then he changed his story saying he never came near our table but went to clean other tables. How could he have gone to clean already
clean, unoccupied tables? No other customers were using the sitting area.
3. Afterwards he said he came to pack the cups on the table, but we didn’t have any cups on the table prior to getting our ice creams.

I inquired about the security detail I always find in their shops and was told they only stay at the door. I know that’s not true.

Then we asked to see their CCTV footage. The stories became weird at this point.
1. First the lady in charge, Kera said the cameras cover only the cash point. Odd, I was staring at one that had a clear view of the stairs and our seats.
2. When we pointed that out she said they had no access to view footages and only the head office (at Saka, VI) could do that. She claimed to have called them and was told the IT unit weren't working on Sunday. I still don't understand how that works.
3. Shortly after another female staff (didn't get her name) came to apologise for the theft and assured us the video footage was being watched beginning when we came into the establishment. We asked if we could view it too and was told it was ‘confidential’. Even banks allow customers with grievances view their CCTV footage. So we told her to start at 2pm instead of 12pm.

Again, Kera who claimed the videos could only be viewed from the HQ came back and we asked her if she found anything. She asked who’d given us that information and we pointed to her colleague, who came back to deny what she said about the viewing. The whole thing became suspicious like these people were hiding something.

We told them the police would get involved and the story would be published online. It’s increasingly impossible to trust companies these days.
Kera pleaded we give her till Monday to give feedback on the video.

By 3pm on Monday she called me to say, “I’m sorry but the camera wasn't recording anything. We found out the memory crashed.”

It took them 7hrs (between 8am and 3pm) to ascertain the memory crashed and their CCTV wasn’t recording a thing on Sunday. Are they saying we can’t even be assured of customer safety in their premises; is that how little we mean to them? I wonder if the story would be the same if someone had robbed them.

My friend even sent a message to their Instagram account, saying if a response wasn’t given we’d make this issue public, and they promised to forward the case to their customer service unit and an agent will contact me. They requested for and received my number and email address on Monday 22/01/18 night and I still haven't been contacted.

I took the case to Maroko police station on Tuesday 23/01/18 and gave a statement. The manager of Admiralty branch was issued an invitation by the DPO. Someone named Chuks confirmed receipt of the IV, yet they never showed up.

My lawyer wrote to their head office on Wednesday detailing the issue, actions taken and further steps we’ll take. Still, we received no feedback from them. I've been informed they were advised not to comment on the matter at the branch. Classic.

Everything so far feels like an elaborate cover up by a company with something to hide. All we asked for was a view of their cctv footage to see what really happened. All we’ve got so far are suspicious stories. It's so disheartening that they have handled this case like it's nothing. I have valuable items I consider priceless in that tote bag and Coldstone Creamery (Eat N’ Go ltd) is behaving like it’s a non-issue. What’s stopping me from suspecting this might be a regular occurrence where customers mysteriously lose items and the company hides behind a liability clause?

It's been a very frustrating week, and still I've been the only thing holding back my friends from spilling this story online before now because I wanted a clean resolution. I've been very civil; going through the appropriate channels to get this resolved but the company has proven it prefers to play dirty by feeding us lies and frustrating our efforts. Perhaps I’ll learn to be more dramatic and cause a scene in the future.

Getting this kind of treatment from a favourite brand is extremely disappointing. You can do better than this.

Family / Re: My Marriage Has Finally Ended by UjSizzle(f): 5:03pm On Jan 05, 2018
This story is really sad.

I think marriages should end without fighting to keep it together. Obviously you have no control over your own home and neither you nor your wife understand each other enough to communicate without drama.

So go to Nigeria, find her and listen to what she has to say and explain your stand too. You two just need to listen to each other.

She seems like an opinionated woman so I understand why she doesn't want to spend her time in the USA working for someone when she can do something in the fashion industry.

But you two have to agree anyway or I don't see how this marriage will last at all.

Just find her and have a conversation not a yelling contest.

P. S. Enough with the silly excuses btw. You're a man so own up to your responsibility. Whatever your wife denied you, romping with that LovePeddler was all your doing. Just keep your pants on henceforth, ok?

All the best.

Only in Nigeria that affirming your position is called Pride and Arrogance.
