Boss13: I have advised you to go and get a properly life Charles Folorunsho (I hope that is your real name). I am glad you were unable to scam nairalanders. I will still keep an eye on you. So FYI if your charcoal business is profitable you better face it before you do a reputation damage to yourself. I have also done a google search on you and information belonging to Charles Folorunsho do not link to your claims. Your mom is a phd holder and teaching English in a secondary school and your dad, a Yoruba professor in LASU do not add up properly. You have forgotten that people can run checks easily to confirm identity. Desist from nairaland you scammer.

Ok.

I am a scammer, that is not my real name, i lied. I wanted to dupe you of your monies, innocent nairalanders.

Hmmmm.

The majority is not always right.

Wow, all this negativity makes me sad. You come at me with so much hate, you call me a liar and i have spoken a single lie, you call me a scammer, and i have not scammed anyone anywhere before.

And your MODs see this and do nothing about this. Heck Seun was just checking this post and he did nothing, obviously of the same opinion as you.

Alot of businesses grow because of the support of family, friends and investors. But with this that Nairaland has chosen to do on this, well, time would tell.

Duplex 2A, LASU STAFF QTS.

That is where my dad lives on weekdays, he is a contract worker now, he retired a couple of years ago. Go ahead, research it.

Am so saddened by this. This is my last thread or post on nairaland.

Please, if i have scammed you before come up please. I hope you are happy boss13, my thread on the business section has been closed.

Our lives are not our own.

Its alright.

Boss13: Then when you are scammed you will be the next shouting please front page.

So this is what it feels like to have haters!? Being a celebrity must be exhausting!!!

Boss13: You are cracking me up with your bogus comment. False claim? How ironic - are you referring to yourself. What happened in my life? Nothing. However, you just told nairaland that you dropped out of medical school (does that sound like frustration). Your anger is me informing innocent nairalanders that you are a fraud and a scam. Why you mad? You should be. Never finished school, never achieved your aim of becoming a medical doctor, angry at the society because you feel the system is wrong. Now you want your pound of flesh, to rip people off their hard earned money. Sorry you got busted. Nairaland doesn't need fraudsters like you. Go and get a decent job.

Are you for real. I dropped out of school makes me a fraudster?
What world are you living in? My aim of becoming a doctor? WTF are you saying? My anger toward society manifesting itself through scamming

I would let your comment speak for itself, even if some people are stup1d, am sure some can see through everything. I guess my mistake is replying you, you seem to thrive off castigating others.

But really why? Dont bother, do what you do.

By the way you have still not revealed who you are, who are you please?

Table Leg :
OP...

You are fu...cking mad!

Good way or bad way? Am not sure how to take this.

Brand_new: This is terrible.

You know, i saw the movie cloud atlas, it was hard to understand, but i got a couple of things from it, one which i believe is directly applicable to this banter we have going on.
"Our lives are not our own". You come here, accuse me falsely, persist in accusing me falsely, get a 'like' off accusing me falsely. The majority is not always right. All my life i have had to deal with people like you, myopic and set in their ways, who see life in black and white, i have always persisted, i would always stand my grounds.

As for the quote from the movie, your damaging comment affects a lot more people than you can realise.

Boss13: Guys please this is for your information https://www.nairaland.com/1198747/scam#14358457

Please deal at your own risk.

You have no identity, you go around making false claim and damaging hard earned reputations, you are a no good derailer. I dont know what has happened in your life to make you so bitter, but i assure you, it is not me or the thread, it is you. I have no problem with people having genuine questions, but your assertions based on zero knowledge only shows how ignorant you are, and all persons reading this thread can tell.

Boss13: Your thread should be moved because you are a fiction. If you are this successful why bother others. It is only the newspapers that bother its readers about successful people and not the other way. Successful people do not go about telling people they are successful (another scam indicator).

Yes you are frustrated for not achieving your dream as a doctor. Your comments are all full of frustration. But it is not the end. You can still make a decent living if you choose to . Also you can end up in EFCC jail if you choose to. But I think nairaland do not owe you to tell us your success stories.

I will not engage with you again because you are a scam.

Oh My Agnostic Gawd!!!

How successful must one be to have employed people you ign0rant fo0L. The idea of expanding a business must seem very novel to you. I am talking of a business, its challenges, my challenges, and you are here calling me a scammer!!!

I am so mad i cant think straight, i put my name and my number here, who are you! Place your name, put a number, dont hide behind your computer.

I put a post up and it bothers you, how is that my problem, you represent others now?

You keep saying i am frustrated, i dont know how to answer that. Being a doctor is happiness?? I dont understand your logic, infact you are just riding on a generalised wave of panic and paranoia.

Please let us know your details if you are so confident of your claims.

naijacutee: Moved to Literature/Fiction Section.

HABA WHY NA!!!

Our company informed their government via some signed document from the embassy of Nigeria in Togo to be forwarded to the embassy of Togo in Nigeria about these development so as not to make this activity count as human trafficking. The Togolese government whilst not providing jobs for their just 6 million population often feel slighted by the fact that their people often go to other countries looking for work. It was no easy task, but we were able to bypass all the sentiments.

Parents talked, pastors preached, parent's friend's advised, siblings cried, church prayed, girlfriend left, step brother rejoiced and I was depressed.

So i dropped out.

Excuse my intolerance for average, maybe if you had your parents wait 6 month every other time to get paid their salaries you might understand my ISSUES with this.

I never liked medicine, i have no problem with those who do. I just wanted a sure income and since i hadn't heard of doctor's looking for a job it seemed a logical conclusion nah, abi??.

Continued before some idiot interrupted.....Coming from this background taught me one thing, YOUR EDUCATION DONT COUNT FOR NONE WHERE MONEY IS TALKING !!!

Ok, so this guy with the glasses and oversized leather patched elbow suit was talking about how he is so happy and successful ( i laff in togolese!!) , with the rest of the class leaning forward to listen to their new 'role model'. I wasn't even listening until he said something about the car he just got, A BRAND NEW KIA RIO!!! This guy has been a neurosurgeon for more than 20 years and he just got himself a car of 1.5M!!!
And that was the straw that broke this fine boy's back.

Anybody else that wants to take me on should please come along.
In the meantime let me continue my story shall we.

@boss13, Wow! Really. I am a scammer? I am fustrated?
I run a business. I have employees, I make money, and you come here to type this on my thread?! The real scammer is you, you rob people of the opportunity to learn, to explore and paranoia has blinded you from learning anything new. Go to school get a job! That is genuine now isn't it. I left school so i dont have to depend on a system to delay me when my kids ask for a bicycle and you call me a scammer. You have scammed yourself already, you are a victim, a prisoner in your prison. Go around and spread the gospel of how all we Nigerians are scammers! You make a snap judgement without proof, just venomous words from a frustrated person.
I hate to resort to name callings, but i swear i would take you on anytime.

@boss13, I just went through your post and i understand now, you fish out scammers from nairaland, that is good, it really is. But don't you think a benefit of a doubt is something you should employ? I am here discussing about myself on nairaland and all you seem interested in doing is prove that i am false. Good businesses exist, genuine people do too, your scepticism however well intentioned should not become a man hunt for persons not involved in scamming other people. The title of this thread is to attract persons like you who do not believe anything good can be gotten off nairaland, you are wrong.
My name is Folorunso Charles, google it. If you are patient enough, you might learn a thing or more on this thread.

Boss13: Bros I don't know what you are up to. If you could not pass your MBBS and out of frustration you left medical school, do not take on innocent Nigerians. Go look for other things to do.

I did, i found other things to do. You seem angry about something, go and figure it out on your own time and stop derailing this thread would you. Thank you.

It is not easy bringing them in, but we managed to make all the arrangements. The thing with them is this, they are sceptical of Nigerians, they are of the belief we are dubious and violent, and that we eat people. Once one is able to get past that stereotype, its a windfall. Right now we have 9 persons here and more than 60 people that want to come and work for us, thanks to the testament of the one's here to their Friends and families.

Boss13: What course? Are you sure? 4th year. Oya answer

Medicine. Happy now.

Follow my post on charcoal production for answers.

Maybe this should be in the literature section.

I remember this neurosurgeon who came to give a lecture in class one day, he made my decision to leave school a whole lot easier. He had an old oversized suit on, and he talked about surgeries he had done successfully and how fulfilling it was for him. See the thing is this, i come from a family of civil servants, my father is a professor of yoruba in the same university, while my mum is an english teacher at a secondary school with a PHD in law.

My name is Charles, i dropped out of Lagos state university teaching hospital in my fourth year with dreams of being a billionaire (Yay!) plus i hated the course, it didn't make any kind of sense to me.

Boss13: I don't understand you. Are you high on OMO detergent ?

More like canoe soap, its awesome.

This is obviously not a scam.
But what is a scam? Something too good to be true? Too easy? Its true, one must be wary about what one is a part of, but to generalize is never the answer, you would end up missing a crack load of opportunities doing that.

This thread is about my struggles as an entrepreneur, my successes and all i encountered before charcoal and during charcoal, the knowledge that enables me the authority to have created a system i want you all to be a part of.

First a little history, maybe not needed, but i will still go ahead to talk about it. It would be good to understand the sum total of the mind who created this program and what drives him , me.

Getting a work force is the only way to secure any investment made. The workforce earn significantly under N20,000 a month which is collectable after a year. All one has to do is feed them for the duration of the production process.
Now getting a work force is the hardest part of charcoal production. The workforce usually hail from either Benue state in Nigeria or from Togo, preferably the North of Togo.
The workforce from Markurdi are usually hard working, but they lack in honesty and always steal. If gotten, they are to be micro-managed. They are not advisable.
The work force from Togo however are the best at charcoal production. They collect way less money and since they rarely speak English (they speak French and their local tongue) they are often isolated and completely dependent on the company that brought them in.

GETTING WORKERS. Factors.
Going to wood charcoal business without getting one's own workforce is not advisable. Without a dedicated work force a person would have to buy from the village and sell either in lagos or overseas and that leaves little profit and a lot of wasted efforts. A lot of the seminars on charcoal production focus on this, I say it is capital intensive, the creation of a less financially savvy mind and usually results in pure loss for a first, second and third timer.

To be continued. I need to eat.

CHOOSING A PRODUCTION SITE.
This is a tricky part. There are two states that major in charcoal production. Oyo state and Kwara State.
Oyo state is a good place to produce charcoal, its advantage is its proximity to Lagos. On the flip side it is not advisable to go there on a lean budget. The state basically started charcoal production commercially in the country and it has witnessed many success stories of charcoal business building houses on their soil and buying their lands in the hectares for little to nothing and has since grown wise. Now they tax heavily and even while it is still very profitable, it is not the first choice for a person with a lean budget.
Kwara state on the other hand is where we have made arrangements. They have trees that would last decades and their villages are still new at charcoal production, hence it cost us very little to set up a production site.
The name of the village is Loma near Arogbaiye town in Kwara state.

REGISTERING A COMPANY.
We set out with the goal in mind, and that is to trade charcoal as part of many other commodities on an international level. The local demand for charcoal is in the billions of naira while America's demand for this same commodity is over a billion dollars (please google this). For us to be taken serious by any potential buyer we needed to register a company.
City Payment Option LTD was born.
