Other social media users shared similar stories, but Nigerians also took advantage of the chance to clear up some misconceptions.
@liamhasnogame; Samw happened to me⦠All these Nigerian names kept coming up in my address book
@fran_czar; Your people steal your phones and sell it to Nigerian buyers cos thereβs a huge market for them here.
@CallMe_Ammie; In Australia, they sell their old iPhones for $350AUD. Imagine someone selling it on purpose then coming here to yammer about how his missing phone was found in Nigeria
@fran_czar; Fr. That agenda shouldnβt fly. Itβs still them stealing cars and shipping to Africa and then turn around and try to blame us. They should tidy things up from there first.
@sammy_side; My mate got her phone robbed a few months ago and some fella has been tryna get all her mates to give us the details so he can unlock it π
