salary will be paid in dollars every week.

He sold all he had and left for Lagos without consulting any family member. He was welcomed by his so called employers and ushered into a building that looks like an office. After paying the fees he was held hostage and striped off every belongings and kept in a room. There he saw other victims being used by these so called employers.

His line was not connecting, they give him the phone to communicate when they want to pass any information in their favour and after that no more phone call, the victim might even be forced to tell you that he is very busy that's y you he can't be reached anytime until he calls back.

They use these victims held hostage to convince family members or friends to come over and take the job/business offer.

As soon as you get there, they strip you off every belongings, seize you phone and co

When the man of God says pray againgst evil manipulation and wastages. This is part of what he meant. Just dey PLAY. SMH.

They will tell you call a family member or friend and tell them about the business/job and that you have started benefiting.

In my in-laws brother's case, his escape from where he was kept hostage was a miracle. He is back to zero.

Please share this information with your family and friends so that non will fall victim.

Thank you.
this is best passed to police who can secretly pose to be employable hands to burst the criminals and not a Social Media material just yet.

Sorry to say, the boy was very foolish. Someone asked you to pay a whooping 600k for a job that will be paying you dollars in Nigeria, and you stupidly went ahead to look for 600k, counted it and gave that person. Some people still mumu for this Nigeria in 2022.

I was called by a close friend, in fact a church member. Pressurising me to come over and that they pay in dollars.

600k was the same amount he called too.

Today, he's apartment where he lived is empty because he sold everything and the rent is expired.

He's starting from zero.

Thank God I didnt fall for it �

This is very true and it is not new.

It happened to my younger sister about 7 years ago when she was job hunting.


I told her not to go for the interview as clearly the interview message was filled with too many grammatical blunders.

- but she refused and it took her about 2 days to return back home as she pretended she wanted to go urinate.





Many of these Evils exist.


People should stop going for interviews that they didn't apply for all in the name of "It is God's Miracle".



People should Embrace The Digital Life of Creating and/or Working Online. This is The 21st Century. The Internet is Your Tool To Financial Freedom. Use It Wisely.

My cousin is held hostage now by those people in Ogun state. I was invited over by my cousin and when I got there, I was asked to pay 650,000 naira for ID card, accommodation, feeding and some other things they mentioned. When I managed to come back home, I called my cousin and asked him to take the bold step and leave that place but he refused that he can't find that kind of job that pays in dollars any where in Nigeria. He succeeded in bring a few more people from the village to join him there . May God rescue them
