Lady shares experience with UK-used washing machine
Francisca reminisced on purchasing a UK-used washing machine in 2021 because it was outrageously cheap. She said she bought the washing machine at a fair price of N35,000.
The lady said she tested the washing machine before purchasing it to ensure it was in order before taking it home to her mother, who was overjoyed.
However, their joy was cut short when they decided to clean the washing machine and use it, only to realise that it was moving on its own. According to her, the washing machine was moving like it was magic.
She wrote:
“In 2021, I decided to get a washing machine for the house, to lighten the load, especially to wash bedspreads na curtains. Well, there's one thing about me that you might not know. I love cheap things. Nya second hand, UK used.
"That's how I acquired most of my properties, as a single lady. Whenever I save small money, I'll enter town to where they are offloading UK used things. I talked with the owner about a washing machine and he told me na immediately it lands, he'll call me to come pick one.
"A few weeks later, he called me up and I ran to the warehouse. Come and see electronics my lord. I chose one washing machine, 5kg capacity, Binatone and he told me N35,000. The money was so good to be true so i rushed it immediately. I paid and got keke to take mu na the washing machine home.
"That's after testing it there oh. I saw it was very good, no issues at all. When i took it home to Mama Ify, she was very happy and a few days later, we decided to launch it. Threw the necessary things into the washing machine, turned it on and went to the sitting room to chill.
"Next thing I know, someone was banging on the inside corridor door leading into the palour. I opened to see that awa washing machine was knocking on the door. It moved from it's position.
"We turned it off, and shifted it back. Turned it on again and we saw magic. The Washing machine started trekking to Jerusalem.”
