"same same" agony of a man who faked peoples product

My brother told me this gist this morning about a guy in Alaba International market called “same same” the guy specializes in faking peoples product in China, all he does is to send any sample of any moving product in Nigerian  to China and mass reproduces it.
Chidi( not his correct name) packaged and sent to China a particular energy bulb that was moving well in Nigeria market, as usual he told his accomplices in China to mass produce and ship a 40ft container, he forgot to test the particular bulb he sent( he sent a dead energy bulb).
The China manufacturers/accomplices sent him a mail inquiring if they should produce the exact product he sent, Chidi responded through mail” same same”.
A 40ft container of dead energy bulb was mass produced and shipped to Nigeria, Chidi cleared his goods and was very happy as usual, the first product he sold was returned reason” dead bulb” Chidi could not understand why a full carton of energy bulb could not lighten up at all, he doubted the customer but in a bid to prove that the bulbs were okay, he tested a whole carton but none was able to lighten up, he called the producers in China but they told him that they did “ same same”. At first he was confused and decided to write to them but was surprise when they replied “same same, you sent a bulb that could not lighten up (dead) and we produce a bulb that could not lighten up” (lol) he was referred to the mail that was sent earlier where he acknowledged “same same”, that was when he realized he actually picked the energy bulb from a friends backyard.
