A young Nigerian man expresses dissapointment after paying N78K to a shoe vendor who delivered a terrible quality, sizes and still blocked him for complaining. A social media user identified as @Ugoochinwuba called out a shoe vendor one @Zaki.rita on Instagram with the business name, @Lions_feet for defrauding him. According to Ugo, he had sent samples of the shoes he wanted to the vendor after which they agreed on N78K and part was paid pending completion of the job. However, after the full payment, only one of the shoes was manageable; others were wrong sizes and colours. When he reached out to the shoe vendor, he got blocked across all social media platforms and an effort made to reach the vendor’s sister made matters worse.
Shoe vendor @zaki.rita on Instagram How a shoe vendor duped me of N78K, blocked me everywhere “This is the first time I’m doing this, on a good day I don’t like to drag people online I’ll just let it go but this is too much loss for me to handle. Few weeks ago I contracted a lady on Instagram whom I assumed was my friend to help me do a few footwares🧵.
I have never worn a corporate footware before and I planned to look good and focus on getting new clients as a sales person for a real estate company So I begged this girl I told her I’m not in a rush and she should take her time to get the job done, I told her everything I want.
I wanted a suede shoe, with a leather sole because I know how fragile most rubber soles can be we agreed on a price which I paid a part and told her when she’s done I will balance up. Prior to this second job she had messed up with the first job which I let it go. I ordered for a brown slippers and black and she delivered a different color but I had to accept it cause the job was fair And I had paid in full. Yesterday I had a greater shock when the shoe I ordered was delivered to me. It turned out to be what I didn’t order, The colours didn’t match what I sent her, the sole wasn’t what I requested it was delivered in a nylon bag like a dustbin.
Here she is acting surprised, like she didn’t know what she sent.
I finally called her on whatsapp a few times cause she had switched off her phones to my surprise she blocked me on whatsapp.
I then summoned courage and contacted her older sister whom I found on Instagram, after explaining my ordeal to her and got no response I called this lady to ask for my refund again and she said I should go and collect my money from her sister shey I went to report her to people.
After testing the shoe to see if it’s manageable I found out it’s not my size I wear a size 42/43 how can I lose 58,000 Naira just like that. Please if you’ll like to buy the shoes for less the cost kindly leave a comment below or send me a dm I’m willing to sell them off🙏🏽🙏🏽 It’s a SIZE 43 FOOTWARE.”
