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.
