He should enter the compound and not see his bike by the time he’s out
You still don’t get it,do you?
That was the initial plan
Get him to come inside so they can finish him completely
You are 100% right

That's plan work. Had it being he entered the compound to look for that man, that's the end of his bike.

Anyway let him just sacrifice the 2500 naira and move on.

Good Day N'Ls..
Finally, I fixed the bike I bought last week. Driving my okada today and I was able to raise about 3k!

While riding under the hot sun, I was flagged down by this tall well looking, fair guy.. He told me his location and we agreed for transfer, he's to pay me 200 naira.

While on trans, he told me we should branch an eatery, he needs to get something for himself.

Baba went inside after I packed the bike, came out with 3 meatpile.

All of a sudden, He gave me 1meat-pie! Claiming he loves the way I drive.

We got to our destination, immediately a boy of about 10years+ came to him and whispered something to him, immediately he became uncomfortable.

He asked me to give him 2k cash that he'll transfer it to me with my okada money and that it's a matter of life and death.

I gave this guy and he ran into a compound, though he told me he'll be back in right now.

I'm still there and is more than an hour and bros is no where to be found.

I'm at home now thinking about my loss of 2500, this life sha..

It's your fault na.You for prepare am yourself.Just hire barbeque drum,buy charcoal and hire someone who can either prepare the recipe or roadt the chicken right at the venue of the program or you can do it yourself.Youtube can help.
He made it sound like rocket science or building third mainland bridge.

WantsandMore:
seriously, would been fun roasting at the venue, no b everything person suppose dey outsource sha.
Even the venue people might have enjoyed watching him barbecue, which would have drummed him more business. Instead, he outsourced 100 chicken to barbeque man and got 79 in return, lol.

Stop helping people with your business money, it's better you let him go without paying the bike fare. Sha, put it behind you. You are wiser now and aware of this strategy.

I think he's added non-tangibles like loss of sweat, cost of "still there and is more than an hour", and cost related to him thinking how silly he must have been.

My calculations was even higher than his at 2.7k

i dont know whats more crazy/funny here...
A) you accepting food from a total stranger, B) you giving this yeye person 2k and letting him run away with it just like that or
C) saying that you lost 2500 while anyone who is good in math understand that 2000 + 200 makes 2200, not 2500[/quote

Let me share a story.

I picked up someone at the airport, dropped them at their hotel then took a bike to my own hotel.

At about 10pm, they called me for something regarding their event the next day, I stepped out and hailed a bike to take me to their hotel. I told the bike man to wait to return me back to my own hotel.

Immediately I stepped into that hotel and met my guest, I forgot about the bike man outside! 40mins later, my guest said something and that’s when it hit me, the bike man outside! I scaled stairs but he was gone. I couldn’t believe myself.

Thankfully, the gatemen paid him for me, and took his number.

I reimbursed them, with a tip, then called him. I was profused with my apologies. He understood. And I tipped him too. Cos he came back to the hotel that same night.

So, it could have been anything. Maybe he got caught up and forgot all about you.

I’m sorry you went through that.

Something around 2012, I'm a maruwa operator then.
This guy chartered me from ikotun down to idi-araba telling me he want to carry some goods from luth hospital back to ikotun, we bargain and the money look good to me not too high tho. the first red flag I should notice then is that some area boys are saluting this guy in a manner I should be cautious but I ignored the sign and he even asks me to tip them which I obliged.
To cut the story short, we enter luth hospital compounds, and this guy just enters one store and comes back and tells me that he can't find the person he usually buys goods from and his phone is down I should borrow him my phone to contact the person and according to some rumors in the store the goods he wants to buy as skyrocketed so I should borrow him addition 3k,naso I carry my hard earn money give this guy dat very day ooo.

I don't know there is another entrance behind the store.

Na so the guy carries my phone and money run ooo.
The funniest part be sai, if I call the guy e dey pick my call

LAGOS!!!🤣🤣🤣

Some people usually Use the Bolded Format a lot. I have Witness such Scenario Live.

Some people no Just get the Fear of God at all.

I think they do. I mean, they usually are not free and often bear a cost.

So yes, "thoughts and stupidity now have a price" because they cost something.

Naija people, as my niece would say.

How can barbeque of 100 pieces of chicken be a contract, for Christ sakes, instead of do it yourself? Whatever you paid can not possibly be an incentive to produce especially if he starts thinking of you benefitting from the sweat of his labour!

Sometimes, you scam yourself by eating meat pie you overpaid 2.5k plus 200 for. That's why we all asking how it tasted since it cost so much.

What's this nonsense you wrote here?

You mean he gave you a meat pie, and you accepted?

That was the beginning of the scam, he first put you where he wanted and did the needful

Thankfully the cost of stupidity can be mitigated if one sees it as a learning opportunity. Then it become an educational cost, like buying school
