Public outr4ge has erupted after a di6turbing video surfaced online, allegedly exposing a large-scale operation involving the branding and sale of f4ke television sets in Nigeria’s electronics market.
The footage, reportedly recorded at Alaba International Market, shows a young man openly printing LG logos on television cartons, remote controls, and even directly on the bodies of the TVs. Stacks of cartons—said to number over 3,000—are seen neatly arranged, each bearing branding meant to resemble that of popular global manufacturers.
According to multiple reports, the televisions are allegedly l0w-budget, low-quality units produced abroad—primarily in China—before being imp0rted into Nigeria. Once in the country, the devices are rebranded to imitate premium products from companies such as LG and Hisense, then sold to unsu6pecting customers at prices close to, or only slightly below, those of genuine models.
In the viral video, the narrator claims he stumbled upon the operation by chance while visiting the market. His voice can be heard expressing shock as he explains how the branding is applied step by step—first on the cartons, then on the television sets themselves, and finally on the remote controls. He w4rns consumers that certain cartons commonly seen in the market may already be a red flag, alleging that many are locally produced and printed to dece1ve buyers.
The revelations have sparked a&ger and fe4r among consumers, many of whom worry that they may have unknowingly purchased c0unterfeit products. Beyond fin4ncial loss, experts w4rn that substandard electronics can pose serious s4fety ri6ks, including electrical faults, fire hazards, and lack of warranty or after-sales support.
Consumer rights advocates are now calling on regulatory bodies such as the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to urgently investigate the allegations. There are also renewed demands for stricter monitoring of imported electronics and h4rsher penalties for those found gu1lty of counterfeiting.
As the video continues to circulate widely on social media, Nigerians are being urged to exercise caution when purchasing electronics—verifying serial numbers, buying from authorized dealers, and insisting on proper documentation.
For many, the footage is not just a sc4ndal but a pa1nful reminder of how deeply c0unterfeit goods have penetrated the market—undermining trust, explo1ting consumers, and d4maging the reputation of legitimate businesses.
