I once arranged for a bus driver to deliver my goods to a supposed client in akwa ibom from port harcourt. The driver accepted an amount due to my influence on him (have used him for a lot of supplies), and exchanged the contact with the client. Behold the client took the driver to somewhere else to pick the said goods. At the end I stopped giving the driver jobs becuase he was suppose to inform me when the client was diverting him and I moved on.

God would bring more opportunities your way, just stay true and honest in your dealings and always keep the essential details, that's what the clients are paying for.

Hello Good people,
Please help me out of depression right now.

Earlier these month, great opportunity showed up, I was to assembly foreign equipment for one big politician in my state. The architect that got the contract contacted me as an engineer, we went to the site, take the measurement, ready to kick start the work. We've negotiated the price, you know Nigerians most demand for cut, which we agreed certain percentage.

4 days to the date set for the money to be transferred, she stop picking my calls, stop answering my chat on whatsapp.

Before then she'll be calling to ask if I'll be able to fix the equipments, she'll ask me questions like; how are you going to do it, what an what will you need, how many workers will work with you etc.

The guy that connected me with her happens to be a friend. I was updating this guy on every progress. At a point this woman start passing information through this guy to me. I was wandering, why can't she call me direct.

To cut the whole story, The woman went an gather some people including the guy to do the work, after all my efforts.

Ever since I finished my training 3yrs ago, have not gotten some thing to do an this job will have being good break through for me to get my own place. My rent's about to expire, difficult to feed etc.

I've never cry my entire life like this, for the past 5days I've being indoors because no job.

I'm really depressed. I've tried every thing to get it off my mind but no way. Never had this experience.
Please pray for me.
mode please help move to front package for me.

Pls dear calm down, you will be fine

Prayer is the key

let it go bro, it was never meant to be. just know that what left you was never yours and what's yours will never leave you.
lesson learnt. now dust yourself up and move on, the best is yet to come. someday soon, you will look back to this day and let out a good laugh.

Sorry about this. What kind of equipment is it exactly?

If you trained for it, why do you think they could have done it so easily?

No worry, if the equipment requires a high level of skill to assemble, hang on. Once they do a shoddy job, they'd come and beg you to fix their tardiness.

Charge them.

You have only gone there to make assessments and also have arrived at a price. No work has been done by you. Only loquacious enough to give them every single detail.
You have learnt a lesson, though the hard way. I believe next time you will know how to keep important details to yourself for any particular job.
Therefore, stop lamenting and move on. You can't sleep bawo?

The friend must have connived with the said woman to push you out of the deal. You were also giving them your knowledge free of charge. Never do that.

Don't worry, they would probably get to a stage in that project where they would need an expert to work on it for them. By then you can now decide to double your fee grin

As for now maybe you should find something else doing so as not to get too depressed

Bookmark this thread, thank God genuinely without bitterness(this is very very difficult)for this experience you had, and be ready when your time comes!

I have bed in ur shoes kinda. Seems like Ure unfairly loosing a big opportunity bt guess what let it go. That will be when u start seeing other opportunities ahead of u or other opportunities will start looking for u. Aslong as u keep this whining mentality u are driving away positivities. It hurts yes but just make up ur mind to forget completely about it like it never even happened, suck up the pain, learn and move positively to new things. Don’t even stress it again and be happy. New opportunities will come to u I promise u.

Accept that the opportunities u missed wasn’t urs sofar u did all u were supposed to do correctly. No big deal. Learn from the experience also. U might have said too much too early. Ur friend is a terrible person for not protecting ur interest.


The interesting part will be if they don’t know the job and do a sloppy job and later need ur help.

Bro, go and sleep. You have lost nothing. That friend of yours feels he is playing smart. I laugh in Swahili. Be rest assured that by the time the project backfires, you will laugh last.

Karma will locate them.

Also learn to keep your trade secret as everyone creates a niche for themselves. That way, you remain relevant in your circle.

What's your professional background? Who knows, you might be linked up to a destiny helper.

Cheer up.

I was once like you. Many idiots I called friends used to ask my opinion and ideas in everything they did and I always obliged. I stopped when I noticed that all they did was to refine my ideas and cash out. Those same idiots would never contribute anything when I needed their own ideas. This is why I'm stingy with ideas today. If you need advice or my idea on something, I will refer you to google.

I share same sentiments with the quote above, thus is a lesson for you to do things differently next time. God allows you to pass through certain experiences so that you can learn somethings from it so that when bigger opportunities come, you wouldn't make the same mistakes again.

Just count this as a learning curve, and encourage yourself and prepare for the next opportunity which you will kill.
