A Nigerian man has sparked widespread reactions on social media after a tricycle he ordered online for ₦35,000 turned out to be a miniature toy rather than a full sized commercial keke Napep.
A video of the incident, which has since gone viral, shows the visibly disappointed buyer displaying the tiny tricycle he received from a popular overseas based online shopping platform. According to the man, the product images on the website suggested that the item was a functional keke Napep, leading him to place the order.
Upon delivery, however, it became clear that the item was only a small model toy, far from what he expected. The video, shared across multiple social media platforms, captures another individual mocking the situation while highlighting the stark difference between the advertised product and what was delivered.
Social media users have reacted with a mix of humour and criticism. One user joked that the tricycle could be soaked in water to make it expand, while another referenced similar incidents involving buyers ordering large items online only to receive miniature versions.
The incident has reignited conversations around online shopping, misleading product descriptions, and the need for consumers to carefully read specifications before making purchases, especially from international platforms.
As online shopping continues to grow in popularity across Nigeria, the episode serves as a cautionary tale for buyers to verify product details and reviews to avoid costly surprises.
