A Twitter user has taken to the platform to lament bitterly after he sent a MacBook Pro from London to Nigeria but received a live-size baby doll instead.
According to the man identified as simply Victor on the micro-blogging platform, he bought the laptop for over N700,000 and paid an extra N55,000 to clear the package at Nigeria customs office.
However, when the package was opened, the recipient found a live-size doll rather than a laptop.
Narrating the bizarre incident on Twitter, Victor wrote;
I sent a MacBook Pro from London, UK to Nigeria and the receiver got a baby doll…. Nigeria custom billed me 55k for clearance. Whooping 55k to clear a doll? Nah! A laptop worth over 700k naira.

The same way @DHLAfrica @DHLUS sent broken fragile items to me, from Nigeria to USA even though they wrote fragile on it, it was still delivered broken into pieces. I am still waiting for their email response though

UPS is the most corrupt shipping entity in Nigeria. They work hand in hand with customs and NDLEA, i don’t know why NDLEA will seize electronic gadgets. Parallel line between drugs and gadgets
