Nightview of 10 kilometers our of a seven hundred kilometer highway of physical and economic darkness...a project you all know will never be completed
Even though Nigerians clearly lack the intellectual or moral discernment to hold you thieves to account, you can mark my words, not one of you will escape the punishment of God Almighty
Onewazobia: Hmmmm, I am not surprised by this because I once had a similar experience in Atan, Ogun State.
One of our staff members was contacted regarding a contract opportunity an international University. However, based on the project requirements presented to him, he knew he would not qualify for the bidding process, so he innocently informed them that he had a boss who could handle the job.
They initially claimed to operate an international company that had just entered Nigeria and already established satellite campuses across the country. According to them, they wanted to begin construction work on their permanent site around Atan, Ogun State.
They requested our CAC certificate, TIN number, directors’ details, IDs, evidence of previous jobs, and information about our manpower capability. The staff member who referred me later asked if he could forward my number to them since the date for interfacing with the school management was approaching. I agreed, not knowing I was walking into a serious mess.
The whole conversation started on 13th December 2025. They contacted us almost every day, requesting one document or information after another. They obtained several company details, including ID cards, claiming they needed to conduct background checks before inviting any contractor.
Unfortunately, I innocently sent everything they requested. However, I was not sending the documents directly to them because there was a third party involved, and I did not want it to appear as though I was bypassing him. Sadly, I failed to properly verify the authenticity of their claims. Hmmm… it is a long story.
Throughout this period, I never personally spoke with them until 2nd February 2026, when they informed our staff member that there would be a physical meeting at the project site on 9th February 2026. That was when I asked him to forward their contact to me and also give them my number.
The first thing I noticed was that their contact preferred chatting instead of calls. I then asked him about his position in the supposed university. He admitted he was not a staff member but a student who claimed to have a good relationship with one of the staff members. According to him, that was how he got the information and decided to contact our staff member to “give it a try.”
Thank God the innocent boy did not go there himself because only God knows what could have happened to him.
Fast forward to 5th February 2026, I contacted their representative to ask for the address and directions to the location. He told me to “come prepared and plan to sleep over.” Immediately, I asked him why I should sleep over. He replied that there would likely be a crowd and that documentation could take more than a day because it was an international university registration process for contractors.
I told him clearly that I would return home the same day and come back if necessary.
On Monday, 9th February 2026, I left my house around 5:00 a.m., to Atan. When I arrived in Atan, I tried calling him, but his number was not connecting. I then dropped a voice note on WhatsApp, after which he instructed me to take another bike to a different location. At that point, I became suspicious.
After he described the location, the bike rider said he did not know anywhere like that around the area. That further strengthened my suspicion. He then started directing the bike rider from one street to another. However, by that point, I had already made up my mind to see the matter to the end. I was no longer interested in the contract itself; I simply wanted to uncover what was going on.
Eventually, he instructed the bike rider to take me to an hospital. On getting there, I met a young boy, probably around 18 years old, wearing a jalabiya and holding a phone and a badly damaged power bank wrapped with plenty of sellotape.
Immediately I got down from the bike, I asked if he was the one waiting for me. He answered yes and said he would take me to an Alfa. I asked, “An Alfa?” and he answered affirmatively.
I immediately requested for his ID card as a staff member of the supposed university. That was when he started talking carelessly. I quickly held him by the waist and insisted that we must go to the police station. He refused.
At that point, it was past 7:00 a.m. I deliberately raised my voice so that people in the community would come outside and witness what was happening. That was one of the reasons I refused to back down.
People gradually started coming out of their houses. I seized his phone and refused to return it until we got to the police station. Later, some community members persuaded me to give him back the phone so he could call the others involved.
They started arriving one after another. I still have videos and pictures from the incident. The community members questioned them thoroughly. As more men gathered around, it became obvious to everyone that their story was not genuine. However, because those boys lived in the area, many residents were afraid to confront them directly. Some people advised me to quietly leave the place, but I insisted that we must go to the police station.
That was when some misguided youths in the community suddenly turned against me and even started beating me alongside the suspected kidnappers or ritualists — I honestly do not know which they were. Yet, I still managed to hold onto one of them. God truly gave me strength and courage that day.
Eventually, their leader, who they called “Chancellor,” contacted a police officer whom I strongly suspected was connected to them. When the officer arrived, I requested his ID card, and he showed it to me. Even then, I still insisted on taking a separate bike because anybody could print a fake ID card.
Luckily, someone in the community identified him as an actual police officer, so I reluctantly agreed to ride with him.
Before leaving the street, I asked for the phone number of the community chairman, but they refused to provide it. I then begged them to at least tell me the actual name of the street, and immediately I got it, I sent my live Google location to my family.
Hmmmm… Nigeria is truly something else. When we finally got to the police station, two officers attended to us. Interestingly, they did not take us into the newer building constructed after the ENDSARS protests, but instead into the older office within the same compound.
After a long back-and-forth discussion, the officers asked me what exactly I wanted since no money had been collected from me.
I told them clearly that my insistence on going to the police station was not for personal gain, but simply to play my role as a responsible citizen. I explained that it was now left for the police to conduct proper investigations.
In the end, the police simply instructed them to apologise to me and “be careful about the kind of clients they deal with.”
That was all.
Till today, I still have the chats, pictures, videos, and other evidence from the incident.
The local police formation are in on that racket otherwise they'd have arrested those guys just to collect their share
Oshiomhole knows that once the company is nationalized there will be numerous opportunities for 'connected' politicians to put their proxies in there and steal, the next thing you will hear is bankruptcy
esnbrutality: Where is that shameless EFCC Chairman.
Such a total shame
Pastor efcc is in heaven eating pounded yam and ewedu soup with baba god....when e chop finish we will hear another stewpid press release from that office
This is a thief who stole more than a hundred billion
But somewhere one fake pastor is thumping his own chest that he has religious clerics in 'his' detention facility, and some sheeple are busy clapping for him
Soludo has been a fluke right from his days under OBJ (he was able to deceive the old man very well)
It was Lamido Sanusi who came and cleaned up all the mess he created during the period he spent as CBN Governor, when he lived right inside the pockets of the bank MDs...a totally scandalous individual
GloriousGbola: When I was in secondary school, I was exposed to wealthy northerners. I was in the gifted school and they had been smuggled in. I knew one of them so I kind of hung out with them. I was in jss1, they were in ss1. They were a mess. They were lazy, untidy and with a complete disregard for basic rules. Always getting involved with slapping juniors etc. Anyways after two terms they left
I have three kids and raising them is hard. Raising boys is harder than raising girls. You can have a long talk and then see them still do the opposite thing. I asked an advocate of polygamy who raises the kids? The answer - that's the woman's job. So how does a woman raise 8 or nine children in a household? Imho it is one of the reasons those boys were feral. In a house where people are competing for the man of the house, imho any misbehavior of the children will be hidden rather than punished openly. No one wants to be the one with the bad or wayward children.
I say this because I think they are ultimately being set up for failure. Then again that is why they are in love with cushy govt jobs where they are paid to do nothing and why imho the North is so upset with tinubu. A reordering of NNPC will eliminate a lot of free money for people doing nothing. Same way that reordering of cbn cut out a lot of good paying jobs where people did nothing. NNPC has Kaduna refinery which has been a loss leader from day one and which may not have produced a drop of fuel(not sure) But people have worked their entire careers there, marking register without adding any value.
Biggest irony is Dangote has only two DAUGHTERS and he is cool with that. Even Sanusi for all his talk about reform has I think 8 children and the full contingent of 4 wives.
