Nlanalyst:
Reading through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6812771/robbed-thieves-placed-palm-oil made me create this to narrate my own ordeal.

All fingers pointing to his friend. I don't think he should be carried away.

I had an experience one time although nothing fetish was involved.

Someone cleared my account and made away with my life savings running into 400k plus.
The guy was so smart but luck later ran out of him. First, he had been watching for a very long time as he had access to everything about me. I just lost my phone and I was using a small torch light phone then. Long and short, he registered for UBA Mobile banking on his phone and he had gotten my card details the day I begged him to borrow me his phone to pay for a stuff online. I didn't know he activated the screen recording and from there he got every of my card details. Shortly after, after he had activated the mobile banking. he transferred #350k to a paga agent and as God would have it the money hung in the air due to bad network. He went ahead to credit a newly created betting account with #120k. I have never indulged in betting all my life.

The next thing I saw in my inbox was a message from an unknown number telling me I will regret ever trying to drag babe with her. Which was really shocking as I can't remember ever stooping low to fight a fellow man because of a lady. I have never done that and will never do that, no insult intended please.
Turned out the message was to sway suspicion, to cause me to start imagining who could be targeting me because of a lady while the real culprit would remain unnoticed.
The guy most have waited all his life expecting the paga agent to receive the money that never entered.

The money was finally reversed to my account the next day which was when I saw my balance and saw that more than 100k was missing. What happened, was that, the guy that carried out this act had access to my phone and he deleted the alerts while I didn't suspect a thing. The other thing he did was that....

He went to the agent hours before doing the transaction. Requested for his details and told him he had transferred the money already. He waited for a while knowing fully well that he didn't do any transfer. The agent asked him to drop his number that he would call him when he finally sees the money. Mind you, this particular paga agent was in a different city from ours. It was after he returned home he now did the transaction and coincidentally the money truly hung in the air as he already lied. I Sha was credited the next day (Sunday) and to my utmost dismay, he was the very first person I narrated my ordeal to out of frustration and he still went ahead to tell me what to do while sympathizing with me and as well raining curses on whoever carried out the act. Not knowing he was the very person.

How he was busted.

I went to bank the next day being Monday and UBA was really helpful. They gave me the details of the paga agent and the manager was so concerned about my case that he personally decided to message the betting site himself. The tears in my red eyes and the catarrh in my nose plus the hiccups must have really driven him to no choice or perhaps it's just God. He asked me to go to a nearby police station and make reports that they will tell me what to do. While I got there and they were asking for bribes inspite of my situation I returned to him (the manager) out of frustration and he decided to cut corners for me. I sincerely don't know how he did it.
All I know is that he sent sportybet a message and he asked me to come back the next day. The next day, Tuesday, I was there and he said they haven't replied him. I even thought it was the usual gimmick to frustrate me into moving on. I went back there the next day Wednesday and to my greatest surprise, the details from the betting account into which my money was credited was staring at me on the computer screen of the manager. I didn't need anyone to tell me who the culprit was. I was even thinking someone probably created a parody account of this culprit so as to further sway suspicion. But it was real.

It was John, my roommate of 3 years, my supposed best friend of 13 years. We've shared everything together in between these years. A feel for friendship wanted to let me overlook the whole thing but then when I thought about what I would have lost if not for mercy of God and when I thought about how he would have feigned innocence if he wasn't caught and would have wasted my life savings feeding his betting addiction,I trashed the feels.

He was handed over to the police which was where he narrated his tactics.
It took like forever before Sporty bet could refund my money tho, I have even almost lost interest. I just kept bombarding their email with a reminder.

Share your own experience.

How many years did your friend spend in prison?

You are still going to hell

You can be for Christ in hell too. There are many Christians like you there and they still hold fellowship and church services. Although the services are really loud because of all the screaming but don't worry you'll get used to it.

This is how Nigerian politicians will abandon Nigeria when crude oil becomes fully replaced by electricity and biofuels

Quite cheap and affordable

I hope that decking has a nice cool space I can chill and smoke my loud and cigars o.

Aisha Buhari has been outside the country over 6 months. She's using the money alloted to her office to shop in Dubai. She got Aides, PAs, Secretaries, etc that are been paid monthly with taxpayers money for doing nothing!

Democracy is way too expensive.

SeaTrade:
I doubt this,
They know,just that they maybe too shy to discuss it with you or let you know you have to make them cum.

Bro, women have actually told me after I made the cum that it was their first time and they didn't know it was possible.

Nigerian women are brainwashed by religion not to enjoy sex.

Even ordinary kissing na problem.

But there are some girls sha

SeaTrade:
Question is simple, how do you know?
A woman can cum under or untop of you,but I don't think It necessarily means she is enjoying it,especially coupled with the fact that naija women above 30 years of age do not moan from my experience.
Discuss.

Many Nigerian women don't even know that women have the ability to cum

BluntCrazeMan:
As for me, I don't care.
I change whenever I want to change.
And take up any fight that follows it.

Because you are a bluntcrazeman

Others no get that kind mind especially "nice guys"

Old tech.

They already used something even bigger in the original RoboCop

As the first born you'll inherit everything and the step son won't be able to fight over the properties with you.

benuejosh:
Sorry about that. I trust and believe men of the Nigeria Army are well trained not to attack innocent citizens but to protect the nation from external attacks. However, with the rise of criminal activities in the nation, most criminals put on the uniform of the Nigerian Army pretending to be men of the Nigerian army and police while carrying out their crimes on the innocent citizens. We are aware of the various attacks on our security agencies in the south east where some of the security men are attacked, killed and their properties stolen. It is very possible that those criminals who attack our security men and steal their properties commit such crimes.

Since you said you have evidence of payment which is the transfer, I suggest you visit the nearest Police station around you and file in your complaint while the Police looks into the matter.

We all must join hands and stop this criminals parading as security men in our country.

I wish you quick healing my dear Nairalander. God bless you.

Do you even live in Nigeria?

Only the day before yesterday a thief was caught on my street and after a little kpokpo they called the police to come and take him away.

The police demanded to be settled. I heard them discussing N5k.

Lindner:
I've engaged with some developers on nairaland about this topic and out of frustration, I just surrendered.

Since the pandemic and the popularization of remote work, it's no longer news that western tech companies now look to source talents from Africa and Some parts of Asia. The rationale is to cut cost.

A recruiter that recruits for some of these tech companies recently told me that they no longer disclose potential salary budget to candidates from Africa, especially Nigeria.

She mentioned that they are always shocked at the salary expectations of candidates. She went further to state that 9 out of 10 candidates from Africa request for between 20% to 80% below the budget of the companies( Even though the company is already saving a lot by recruiting from Africa). And the fact that she mentioned Nigeria specifically got me a little angry.

Why tf will you guys be asking for $500/month for a software development role no matter whether its entry level or not? What values do you place on yourself? Just because you live in Nigeria? A cleaner does not even get paid $500/month in those companies. Do you feel good knowing the colleague you'll be working with is earning ×5 of what you're being paid and you're probably even adding more value. Don't you get angry?

The painful part is that some of these companies didnt even offer to pay you these miserable salaries, you requested it yourself.

Sometime ago, on another thread here on NL, on the same topic of remote job compensation, some folks came to the thread with alot of justification why $500/month is a good offer. They cited exchange rate, poverty rate in Nigeria, how there's no job and every other pathetic reasons why they should slave away to a western company. I can't even begin to reason the ones that are hawking their "skills" here on NL offering to build a full fledged e-commerce site with integrated payment solutions for 10k naira.

I don't care what you say, if you know your shit and have good self esteem, you can earn as much as $4k/month. Before you come here and start reciting all the impossibilites in your books, know that I'm writing from a position of knowledge. I have statistics and real life examples to substantiate this figure. I myself have been working remotely even before the pandemic.


I wouldn't have bothered to even write, but this development is now coming back to bite some of us just because we answer the name Nigerian.

In a country where people get paid N10k per month what exactly do you expect?

Explorers:
