Many diaspora folks love to romanticize and gallivant about the return and refund policy they enjoy abroad.
The profound opportunity to return an piece of clothing, mobile device, you name it... at least within 14 - 30 days of purchase.
Retail stores may even increase the refund if the price of the item had depreciated since purchase.
Sounds like heaven on earth. The freedom is unquantifiable....

However, I find it somewhat irrational when some of us wallow about the absence of such policy in Nigeria...
Let's be honest, we Nigerians know ourselves! First off...a Nigerian in Canada has a different orientation, comportment and sense of lawfullness than the average Audu that lives in Yaba. An average Nigerian will beat the traffic light at Oshodi and get away with it, he dares not try such in UK /Canada /US. The law is there! Even Nigerians that purchase items abroad make sure they remain in "just as new" condition before returning.

But here in Nigeria, a seemingly lawless country! such return/refund freedom will be the nightmare of a business/retail merchant.
Nigerians have a possibility of misusing/mishandling a product, test-runing or even depreciating the item in hopes of returning.

It's quite interesting that some stores in Canada have a new policy called "store credit". You can return the item but you will not recieve cash back, what you get is points in value of the item returned, so you can buy anything else within the store, either ways, you money stays with them. Maybe this might work in Nigeria sha, but not the ultimate return/ full refund policy...for here where is that comrade meme lol

��Even if it's the store credit policy, Nigerian's in Nigeria have a way to shock you

True, I agree!

It's essential to appreciate that Nigerians, both at home and abroad, adapt to the prevailing norms and regulations in their respective environments. While return policy may be more lenient elsewhere, it doesn't diminish the understanding and respect Nigerians have for the laws and regulations in their own country.
