Founder of Gbenga Samuel Wemimo Ministries International (GSWMI), Gbenga Samuel Wemimo has revealed how two Nigerian shop attendants tried to dupe him out of some money in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
In a series of tweets on Sunday, Samuel Wemimo said that the incident occurred during a recent visit to Dubai.
“I went to Dubai earlier this year. I left Nigeria with only my backpack.
“My intention was to buy travel bags in Dubai and shop for the few things I would need over there.
“I got to the mall, the shop where they sell travel bags was manned by Nigerians, two Yoruba speaking guys.
“I pretended as if I didn’t understand what they were saying and stuck to English.
“I picked the bags I wanted; it was time to pay. They said there is a tax that I’d have to pay on the bags.
“By their calculation, I should pay 100 Diram extra. I spoke to them in Yoruba at that point.
“I said, “Why are you guys being dishonest? The other shop where I bought Jalabias and Abayas, the guys kept everything I bought for me and told me I should return with the bags to pick them up. They told me I will collect the tax deductions back at the airport and made my shopping seamless. And here you are trying to cheat me. Is it because this is not your business so you don’t care if you made sales or not?”
“They turned it to street slang immediately “Chairman, na the hustle etc”. It was terrible. I bought the bags at the right price,”Gbenga Samuel Wemimo wrote.
