"Nnaa. . .come in (bataba nwoke ọma). What do you want"?
"I want original extension. . .if it doesn't work I'm returning it, I have had bitter experiences buying electrical appliances".
"Aaahh. . . customer, you can return it, but we only sell original appliances here".
Two days later. . .
"Madam good afternoon, hope you remember me? I tried all sockets in my house but the extension wasn't working".
"I don't understand what you are saying o, this thing worked that day and you are saying this thing now. What do you want me to do?"
"I sniffed the extension to check if it got burnt, but even before that, the extension did not indicate power at all. I think it isn't my fault. . . maybe you can change it or check what happened to the extension".
"Just hear what you are saying, I'm not changing it . . .you are a trouble maker but I have seen bigger troubles. How much is even this thing that you are making noise? If I say I won't change it you won't do anything!" (Flings the extension towards the door)
"Alright, I can't do anything. You can have both the extension and the money".
Gbim!
