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.
It's not a fault to contract a job to someone. It's entirely the defaulter's fault. Just that next time he can adhere to your advice as better alternative.

Might not be scam. It might be a genuine problem that made him forget. Did you ask around the compound for him? If you did and someone know him, you could have dropped your account details with them.

Lol. Like he was coming back to ask about the bike man?

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..

you ate a pie without washing it down with coke or Pepsi grin

What is the big deal in subletting a contract? You are making it look like you never heard of it. The barbecue guy was jus an unserious element and thief

No big deal in subletting a contract, except when you end up with "an unserious element and thief".

Then you not only lose on the sublet contract but also your own credibility, which negatively impacts your record and potential to get future contracts.

You're a novice. But how on earth would you accept a transfer of 200 naira and still borrowed him 2k even when he hasn't paid you. I guess he hypnotized you with the meatpie.
Am glad he actually said the truth of what happened, unlike some people in order to no be seen as gullible would say juju was used on them.

Meat pie should cost about 500 naira, so u lost 2000 not 2500. By the way, why collect food from someone u barely know? You just sold your right for a piece of Meatpie. Lesson learnt bitterly.

You that is propagating this thinking, you and the guy are greedy thieves.

What's your business if he makes one million from the deal...?

No be wetin you charge them give you?
If its easy, go and get the contract yourself na...u know what people do to get these Bulk orders...even if they gain 10k per piece, and you both agree to collect your 1k per piece, do your work..comot eyes for another person own gain

Of course na "wetin you charge them give you". But let us confirm, shall we, that what dem give you was what dem charge you.

Chicken man. No be wetin barbecue man charge you barbecue man give you?

79 chicken given for 100 charged, if I'm not incorrect, which sounds like no gain to me. Plus reputational loss on top.

Yep. Very good subcontract indeed.

Ever since I learnt a great lesson. One of my greatest Rules In life Is to be very Alert and Vigilant around Strangers, Including some Friends and Families too.

Only a Novice would collect gifts from a Stranger or start Famzing anyhow In a country like Nigeria.

The kind of Stern and Straight Face I usually put on these days when I'm outside wouldn't even let any Idiot want to try rubbish with Me.

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 about the payment for the ride ?

eh yah, sorry about ur experience. you just learn another lesson not to be too friendly with ur customer. also avoid collecting food and drinks from riders, many uber drivers and taxi drivers have lost their life and cars through this means.
Exactly. Here in Enugu Uber driver don't collect food nor drink from their passenger because of fear of unknown.
Anyway I won't blame the bike man though, hunger is the main reason he rushed and collected the meatpie from the passenger and again that's his first time doing the business, so he is an inexperience in the field. But the incident that happened to him is an eye opener to him.

I think that was the "plus 200". But I did do the maths on the back of a matchbox and might have missed something.
