Career / Re: I Spent 10 Months In Prison For Resigning Via SMS â 26-Year-Old Photography by Came4amod: 8:21am On Aug 31 |
post=131778501: Peter Nicholas, a 26-year-old graduate of Mass Communication from Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, stumbled upon a life-changing opportunity when he secured employment with an Abuja-based photography studio owned by the notable businessman Mike Oluwole. However, his promising career soon turned into a 10-month nightmare at Keffi Correctional Centre after he resigned via text message. He tells ADEKUNLE SULAIMON about his protracted ordeal that seemed as improbable as it was cruel, how his prison experience marked his life indelibly and his journey to freedom.
How did you begin your photography career?
It was a Reverend Father who helped me discover my skills. He paid for a one-year training course at a photography studio here in Abuja, where I mastered the craft of photography.
How did you get the job with your ex-boss?
There was a time I went to his office to sell a camera lens owned by a friend. That day, he mentioned that he needed a good photographer and photo editor and I presented myself. He took me through a series of photography tests and loved the outcomes. He offered me the job, although without an official letter.
He put me on probation for six months and started paying me N70,000 monthly, with the promise of a raise once I was confirmed. I only stayed less than three months at the firm before I tendered my resignation.
What made you resign?
I got a better offer elsewhere and informed him but he expressed displeasure because he wanted me to work and train others, especially as I had the editing skills required for the job. He wasnât happy about my short notice. I had to leave because what he was paying me wasnât enough. When I wasnât working for him, my freelance jobs were sufficient to secure an apartment and feed myself.
You resigned, but why via a text message and not officially?
I admit that was a mistake on my part. However, since I wasnât given an employment letter, I didnât see the need to write a resignation letter. Moreover, I wasnât the first person; he didnât give anyone an employment letter.
If your text message was about resignation, why were you arrested for insulting him in the same text?
Thatâs not true. The message I sent on 10 October 2023 stated that I was no longer interested in working with him. To further explain my reason for resigning, I sent another text on October 14, advising him to learn leadership and management skills because of how he humiliated a colleague who collected N125,000 from a client into his personal account since the customer couldnât pay into the companyâs account.
The colleague was arrested, molested by the police, and eventually taken to their station despite reimbursing the company. After that, I lost interest in working at his studio. No staff member had ever stayed there for more than three months, though the customers werenât aware. On October 15, he had me arrested for insulting him.
Why didnât you reach out to your parents or loved ones when you were arrested?
My parents donât live in Abuja. They are from Benue State but live in Akwa Ibom, and I didnât call them when I was arrested. I thought it was something that would be resolved that day. However, I was detained and later charged at the Upper Area Court in Mpape, Abuja, where I was granted bail of N100,000, which was later reduced to N50,000.
Despite making several calls, I couldnât raise the funds and was eventually taken to prison, where I spent 10 months.
Describe your experience in Keffi Correctional Centre
Terrible! Absolutely terrible! My first three months were hell until I met a chaplain who later helped me because I always played the keyboard in the prisonâs church. He grew fond of me. Initially, I was kept in isolation for newcomers for two weeks before being placed in a cell with 109 other inmates.
I slept on the floor and didnât bathe for more than three months because I had no money to buy a bucket of water. The water was sold by inmates who were fortunate enough to go outside.
I also survived on prison rations. To top it all, I was in a cell with hardened criminalsârobbers, kidnappers, murderers, innocent inmates awaiting justice, and those without records. There was no segregation whatsoever.
Were you compelled to do hard labour during your time in prison, or what was your daily routine like?
We didnât do anything except sleep and hail the president and vice president of inmates in the cell at intervals.
What are your parentsâ occupations, and did you inform them or your siblings that you were in prison over an unfulfilled bail condition?
My father is a retired soldier, and my mother, a trader. I didnât inform my parents because of my motherâs underlying health conditions. Although Iâm the third of six children, I didnât inform any of my siblings.
I only contacted my elder brother, asking him to send N50,000 to complete a task this month, which he promised to do by the end of the month. I couldnât call the other siblings because I didnât have my phone with me. Before this incident, I was not on good terms with my father, so I kept it from my brother to prevent him from informing my father and making me appear as the bad child of the family.
Werenât you declared missing when neighbours in your place of residence didnât see you?
They thought I travelled. Until the matter went viral, they had no idea I was in prison.
Your ex-boss alleged that you stole the companyâs phone, so you were arrested for âinsulting himâ and theft. How true was that?
I resigned from the job before he declared his phone missing. I believe that the text message I sent to him instigated the theft accusation.
Did you deny the theft allegation in court?
Yes, I did. Thatâs why I wasnât convicted for it.
Your boss also claimed that youâd been in prison before for theft. Is that true?
Yes, Iâve spent six weeks in prison before when I had an issue with a friend who took me to court. His camera and lenses were stolen, and he didnât believe that I wasnât in possession of them, but we settled the matter amicably after which I left prison.
Did you reach out to your ex-boss in prison at any time to ask him to help you out?
I did, but he could only send N20,000, which wasnât enough to meet the N50,000 bail condition. When I reached out to him, he said the warder had previously told him it was N20,000 and that he wouldnât send more than that. Before I was sent to prison, he also sent a letter to the court stating that he was no longer interested in the case, but it was rejected because it wasnât properly dated.
How did the Hope Behind Bars Africa Foundation hear about your illegal detention and secured your eventual release?
I have a friend, Mark, at Yiaga Africa, whom I reached out to from prison. I met him through the voluntary work I did for his platform. His number was in the book I took with me to prison, so I contacted him. He was the one who informed the Abuja-based foundation, which later came to my rescue. If they hadnât helped me, I would probably still be there because the Upper Area Court in Abuja is no longer functional.
How has your experience in prison affected your views on power dynamics from boss to subordinate? Will it take a toll on your mental health or professional outlook?
Honestly, I was mentally down; I wasnât myself. I couldnât believe I spent 10 months of my life in prison. I believe he just wanted to oppress me. Iâm just glad Iâve moved on and settled all rifts with my father. Iâve built a good customer database, and I just want to return to my photography. When I left prison, I visited my ex-boss to show him how dishevelled I was; he couldnât help but give me N20,000 to take care of myself.

Pastorjohn2: It's not tinubu fault you don't have a job, YOU'RE LAZY.
We are in an era where able bodied men are depending on the government and tinubu to give then jobs. During my time when I was 25 and discovered how diffcult it was to land a job, I quickly utilized my deep knowledge in the Bible from years of Bible studying to acquire my first church. By the grace of the almighty God today at the age of 37, I have 3 church's and I plan on building a 4th to boost myself.
Now my point is, We all have skills in one department or another. Use it and make money. You think it's easy for tinubu to fix 8 years of PDP corruption in just under a year in office?
The youths of today are a disgrace and may God help us all! You are pastor what is ur skill.. preaching .. and collecting offering ?? Pls answer sir mog So we should open our churches and start receiving offerings.. u will burn Sha oo đđ 2 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Re: Honestly What's Wrong With Some Yoruba People by Came4amod: 7:30pm On Aug 11 |
Inteltower: The whole fiasco with SA pageantry gradually turned to tribalistic gaslighting by most Yorubas who could not fail to mention SE/Igbos
Chidimma in question is part Nigerian and if she was even Yoruba/Northerner being attacked by xenophobic south Africans I trust my Igbo brothers to defend her
But why does Yoruba like instigating conflict
If you go through tweets about this whole xenophobic attacks on Chidimma..check Yoruba comments mainly and you will be disgusted with the kind of people you share country with
To me there is plainly no difference between Black south Africans & Yorubas...their toxic nature is quite unbearable. Their similarities is uncanny.
Yes there are internal squabbles in our country amongst tribes, parties religions & regions but when it comes to Pan-Africanism we must unite and declare it Loud that we are Africans
This is what we are trying hit home to south Africans to stop the hate..yes we banter and brag but we are remain brotherly to Ghanians, Zimbabwean, Cameronians, etc.
No African country is peculiar for a particular crime. Because they always repeatedly talk about drugs & fraud perpetuated by other Africans in their country, thus I and other Nigerians keep asking them
Who buys the drugs Are South Africans not known for raping children and burning their women The HIV part... Personally I find it disgusting to attack a country based on these things but we should call out our brothers weda Nigerian or South African on these inhumane criminal acts rather than using them as an excuse to deepen hatred amongst ourselves while the white man claims our land & resources
But instead of some Yorubas to be pro-Nigerian or Pan-African...they will rather want to antagonize South Africans with the Igbos...to exempt themselves as saints
Skull miners & tribalistic bigots pretending they are the good Nigerians
Like seriously...we know una sha
Go through any of the Twitter posts on the SA pageantry to see how most Yorubas are really disgracing themselves
In the end who is more Nigerian in this country to the world?
If you can't defend a Nigerian/black African that's being attacked through xenophobia why do you want to add more fire to it so that Igbos will be targeted in general ??
There are questions to be answered regarding the civil war & what really caused it
This chameleon vibes by most Yorubas is really something else & scary
Deep respects to Yoruba but I must spit on gaslighting attitude
You do it here in the media; antagonizing the North against Igbos and export the same demonic activity to other countries.
To gain what in the end ? Isn't it just pure witchcraft...
It's very unwise to attach criminality a certain tribe or community.. because the whole shit is being controlled... So all this is just new spices learning to evolve and gain control .. so it's just best to let love lead and play your part In Keeping the sanity in mankind .. the creator of history .. and time itself .. .. đ |

Foreign Affairs / Re: The Executive Order In The USA That Will Change The World. by Came4amod: 3:52pm On Jul 29 |
lawani: The executive order in the USA that will change the world.
The US President can sign an executive order saying a well finished three bedroom, two bath apartment well finished anywhere in the USA should cost only between three hundred and five hundred dollars per annum in rent and use that scale to fix rent for all accommodations across the country. All high income countries would follow suit and salaries, prices and overall cost of living in high income countries will drop like a rock. Everywhere will be as cheap to live in as say Ethiopia or North Korea as it should be.
As salaries, prices and cost of living generally drop in high income countries, low income countries will gain by way of a crash in oil prices which will go down by more than ninety percent if not more. Pump price for PMS in a place like Nigeria will plummet to around ten percent of what it is currently. Other things imported from high income countries will also experience sharp drops in prices.
It will be the beginning of a new world order of equality and governments will stay on top of everything by regulating the real estate sector which is the only immoveable part of the basic necessities of life.
For the past decades, the real estate sector have been preying on the rest of the economy especially in high income nations but all countries are exposed. If your per capita income as a nation is over five thousand dollars per annum, you are very exposed.
This is the reversal of what happened in 2008 .. mortgage scam .. plunged the world in to ressession |

kingsways: As an astute businessman, Aliko has thus far refrained from direct involvement in partisan politics. This was good but not anymore.
The time has finally come for Aliko to jump right into the fray and run for president.
He is eminently qualified to be president because of what he has achieved in business. He is the richest man in Africa and has demonstrated unquestionably that he is a great, smart, and highly intelligent leader and manager of resources and men.
I will vote for him, right-thinking Nigerians will vote for him across the divides
He will win.
Dangote has invested so much in Nigeria and it will be a great disservice to allow all that be destroyed by incompetent, highly corrupt nonentities in government. You people Sha want to koba dangote .. they will cripple him before 2027 .. don't set this guy up .. mas just lost 18billion dollars.. and they are already putting touch into is business dealings ..
