FRUSTRATIONS AND STRESS OF LIVING IN NIGERIA | Enough is Enough | Flo Chinyere

[@ubaurbanus1243]

Flo, please and please you need to have your mother-in-law by your side each time you vent. because I enjoy her expressions and everytime she shouts it cracks me up 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@neyoa6367]

I swear I was laughing so hard ehn….I love her expressions

[@FloChinyere]

Mama was ready to go and fight Thermocool people on my behalf. 😂🤣 She hates anybody/anything stressing me, eh!

[@TiffanyUzor]

Yes o. I agree.

[@ebubechukwu-ux5nu]

Nigeria my country 😢 This is very heart breaking. Most of the time i can't help to imagine how the average citizens survive in Nigeria. The Lord is our strength

[@Blossomstastymealsandlifestyle]

Suffering should never be an acceptable normal. I had a similar experience while living in Nigeria concerning a brand new freezer too after just a few months from buying but, a road side fridge technician helped me to repipe it. It’s a shame that S.O.N is not doing their job in Nigeria. Home is good but these unnecessary stresses are not acceptable. Lady Flo, sorry for the inconveniences. Praying things change for the better down home. Happy new year ❤

[@Greatminds-b]

Mama is making me to smile through the stress you are explaining with the ..... " hey hey hey"

[@ChibuikeUlasi]

I am so sorry. I feel your frustration. We had the same experience two years ago. All the soups and stew we cooked spoiled. We were constantly running our diesel generator until it went bad and we switched over the smaller generator which could not carry the fridge and freezer hence why we threw away all the food since they went bad. Nigeria is not for the faint heart. I thought I was ready for any inconvenience we would experience in Nigeria but this one was way too much for me and my family to handle. I pray that you are able to fix both fridge and refrigerator. As always I enjoy watching your village series vlogs ❤

[@FloChinyere]

😭😭😭So sad to read about your experience Chibuike! Chai ooo! A country that only knows how to break it's citizens' hearts.

[@gerardonochie3408]

When in Nigeria I cope by setting my expectations to ZERO and ALWAYS EXPECTING THINGS AND PEOPLE TO MESS UP. It is a strange mindset to have but it means that any problems faced my default mode it to think how to I fix or get round the trouble.

[@abasiamauwatt557]

My personal experience, thermocool products are very good, among the best ONLY with stable voltage . With fluctuations in voltage, they will enrich your local repairer. Mama’s expressions are second to none 😂

[@abasiamauwatt557]

Watching them take the freezer apart like that was heartbreaking. New freezer

[@chukwumaiwuorah8315]

Take Heart flo. Niaja is indeed very frustrating. Spare a thought on people living in the Country . Despite all this challenges we go dey come home.

[@lpop9008]

I feel your pain. Sister its easy to say don't stress but you have every right to be, as that electrician asking for food to eat sooo unprofessional. I would definitely look for a two day spa to de stress from all the nonsenses pele

[@FloChinyere]

Asking for food when he stood us up for about 4 days. I did not even have a response for him and that his "go and warm soup and make swallow for me". 😂🤣 Chai o!

[@gladysanyanna]

Trade it in and get another one from a certified distributor. That freezer will not remain the same after it has been tampered with. I am speaking from experience. When you want to buy another one pls ensure it's from a certified distributor bcos there are imitations out there. Wishing you all the best

[@osimosundolapo5418]

But Thermocool deep freezer and fridges have 3 years warranty. It is even written on it. Let's hope it's not power surge. Sorry about this.

[@danemmnation7049]

Pele Flo. I can feel your pain, judging from the very long hiss at the end video.😁 Spending money you didn't plan/budget for can be really frustrating. Nigeria does not only happen to humans, it happens to home appliances as well. It can be really frustrating, especially the issue of power supply. That is why every home in Nigeria has it own different parastatal, ministry of power supply (solar, inverter + generator), ministry of water supply (borehole), ministry of security (estate, community security + gateman), and so on. Things that should be basic government provision. May Nigeria not happen to us. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Mo_momlife]

Ur mum inlaw’s ehhhhh at interval is so funny,so sorry about the freezer issue .

[@nuche100]

It's quite unfortunate Nigeria has normalized suffering 😔 this is why I can never..I don't have the patience

[@eunicemicah246]

"Shortened my life's pan" 😂this cracked me but that's what we go through in Nigeria. Do you know why we resident here get excited when things get reduced like the ⛽️? Its because we know we are not visiting and high blood pressure is like a clothe on everyone, so happiness is a necessity

Flo, Going to Nigeria is never a holiday. It is restless, stressful and lots of headache. Take it easy

[@toyinjob429]

Flo you should have you set of Fuse in numbers 3, 5 , 13 and set of screw drivers when coming next. Slim fridge freezers are more better the junky ones (big ones).

[@anthoniangoziokonjiejorh8350]

Wow, thanks for sharing this , because of you I decided to buy thermocool fridge and freezer but now I won't buy their products when I come home. My dear Flo, endure it. You'll soon be home. I would have advised you carried them back to where you bought and exchange them for new ones or 5hey refund you. So long as you have your receipts.

[@FloChinyere]

Refund ke, in this country? For where? Please don't buy ooo. Let me even go and add a note to that video I made when I was buying these. mtchewww. I would have bought my LG jeje ooo because all their products we've bought so far have never given us any issues. But the hype for this brand was too much and hubby wanted us to try it. Thank you.

[@cynthiaafam]

Nne kindly buy Freezers and Fridge from Europe and ship it home. Buy Germam brand fridge and freezers

[@FloChinyere]

I bought my LG fridge in Nigeria since 2017 and till today no issue. It's not about buying from Europe, this particular brand is rubbish.

[@TiffanyUzor]

See wahala. Ndo. Mama commiserating with you is the best. 😂😂😂 I can only imagine how you were feeling when the repair man started ripping the inside of the freezer. Because I am screaming here at my house.

[@peggyomoruan424]

Wow…😮 this is so sad and frustrating. I was having anxiety while the technician was ripping inside the freezer. Glad hear the freezer is now working, hopefully similar update for the fridge freezer. Pele dear sis Flo 🤗

[@FloChinyere]

Me too. I was wondering how he would put everything back together. 😞😆 Now we just need to watch out for shocks because I have trust issues after seeing it torn apart.

[@toyinjob429]

Flo Fridge frezzer was fix for my mum in Naija on my arrival the earth wire was on Negative if you want to open it, shock until I told the man to open the plug 😮

You may need a surge protector battery for all your appliances because of generator power or nepa power surge. Power surge damages appliances.

[@chikaohaneme3523]

Please take it easy, Aunty Flo.

[@norbertnduka8594]

The problem is, Nigerian Standards Organisation are 'sleeping!'. They allow in substandard products in. Fridges made in Europe go through rigorous, quality control. My fridge is almost 12 years and still working fine.

[@UleluRuthkitchen]

Aunt flo my natural aunt, honestly it would have been better to take it their office for repair or they don't have warranty?. I'm so sorry my natural aunt flo, i can't imagine how you feel especially when their numbers is switched off and all the ingredients stored in the fridge will spoil.

[@FloChinyere]

They need to first of all answer their phone, no? Morever this has passed the warranty just that the total time it has been in use since purchase is one month max.

[@gennyjamas6893]

Now I know why people prefer Tokunbo to new electronic appliances.

[@OneonelegOga]

That technician should start his own deep freezer production business, sell it cheaper and boot them out of business in Nigeria

[@FloChinyere]

He was even telling me in another clip that he needs investors to start the business ater i talked about the expensive chest.

[@OneonelegOga]

Interesting, it may be wise to phone customer service number of any manufacturer in Nigeria before making decision to purchase. If they do not answer or are evasive or dismissive, it may be a red flag that you may need to heed.

Some people are ready to commot for Naija after a fun detty December but little do they know how hard it is for the average citizen who actually lives there to survive.

[@proyouservicesltd4841]

Nigeria has a regulatory agency called Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), consider reporting that refrigerator manufacturer to them. It seems that SON are mainly punishing local indigenous manufacturers or importers and seizing products that they have already invested heavily on, for being sub-standard; However it seems SON may not be holding these foreign manufacturers to the same standards.

[@FloChinyere]

I doubt that SON does its job else why would we have companies making 16mm rods that measure as 13mm yet they are in the market?

Omg, this is sooooo sad. I have the same freeze and fridge theromcool products in my house in Nigeria for 5 years now, I just keep it running, and I never trun it off seen it was trun on. It is also an inveter product, it is working well for me. I believe that because I have 24-hour solar lights and my mother is also there to keep the house running for me when we are not around. My beautiful sister, flo, you are very right, solar, is very, very expensive. 5 years ago, when I installed solar energy in the house, it cost me 8. 7 million than it was $14 thousand Canadian dollars. all the buildings in the compound. it was not easy for me ooo, but I thank GOD that I did it because it is now very, very, very expensive. because of the high dollar rate now. I am soooo sorry you want though all that this holiday season. I missed some of your videos because of work, I will try and watch them all. please take it easy , my regards to the family 👪 ❤❤❤❤

I came here with my husband and now 2 children to meet the Grandparents. After 6 years from the first time i visited. I can easily say that i found this country in worst position that it was last time, 6 years ago. And the worst thing is that noone cares and everyone wants to leave and follow us back in Europe. It makes me so sad and for the experiences, the frustrations, the broken things, the destroyed roads, the nonexistent internet....and so on. I don't think that i am ever coming back😢 the only good thing is the food!

[@emmanuelokonta1241]

Sorry o. I had similar stress with my 25 kva Perkins generator. I have use the generator for Christmas of 2023, Easter of 2024 for a total of 276 running hours. Only for me and family to arrive for Christmas 2024 to find that the the generator would not start. Called a technician in the village. He informed us that the battery to start the generator is dead. Took it for charging and it would not hold charge. I tried to buy a new one and the quoted me 90k I had to rent battery for 6k a day while I was there. Next the gen start cutting off with an error message of current overload. The whole load in the house is 15.2% of the generator’s capacity. It makes no sense. Called the company, they want me to pay for their engineer’s transportation to come from Lagos to diagnose the issue. Thank God I had installed a 8kva solar inverter system. That is how we survived the day and use the generator only at night with less load.

[@mercyosore]

Sometimes there are counterfeit products in the market that use the Haier Thermocool name, so it’s worth double-checking its authenticity especially if it wasn’t purchased from an authorized store or a confirmed distributor Generally, Haier Thermocool products are reliable and high-quality, but getting the original is the problem.

[@9icegirl555]

I was going to say this too..Too many counterfeits especially in the east o! I'm using their normal Thermocool Freezer for almost 4 years now, haven't had a problem with it. My neighbour was among the first to buy those inverter freezer types but, she hasn't had a problem either with it and it's over 5 years, we're in Lagos though..I bought Thermocool even becos of her as our power here is so unstable...There's a 3 year warranty on the cabinet & compressor. Mayber when Aunty Flo noticed the 1st issue, she would had it shipped it back to them at Onitsha, they would have had it fixed at little or, no charge to u especially if it was less than 6 months. Thank God that Freezer guy knew his onions and did a very neat job

[@FloChinyere]

If only you watched to the end, you will hear when I said that I went to their official distributor in Onitsha myself to buy this. I even have a video on my other channel. I ALWAYS go to the official dealers when buying these things. My LG fridge purchased since 2017 has never given me a single issue. I usually buy everything from LG. My husband wanted to go for this one for the hype, even wanted us to buy the washing machine from them, thank God I said NO to that one because their washing machines looked ugly. Never again with this brand.

Honestly I don’t know what is wrong with Nigeria manufacturing products. The fridge freezer which I bought since 2015 in the United Kingdom is still working perfectly and the fridge freezer my wife bought from charity shop oh . It’s stronger than majority of the freezer in Nigeria. Nigeria is very stressful and frustrating to live, I feel people pain in trying to survive and do business in a toxic environment. The government has it fault in this allowing fake weak products into the country. I suggest that you bought from UK or American countries and shipped it back to Nigeria
