Yesterday, someone mentioned that 4 of his kids graduated from an Ivy League, Columbia university and there are 2 others currently in university? At the minimum, assuming the remaining 2 are not in an Ivy League, that is 67% of your kids attending one of America’s topmost universities.

It was a post I read fleetingly as I was in and out of the thread, replying to mentions and I didn’t get a chance to respond to it. Well, better late than never. I thought it was Kopell but I checked his post history and apparently not. To that gentleman, my arms are raised, I hail you, I give honour to whom is due. In my neck of the woods, those are the kinda things we recognize as “doings.” Awon omo ire bi custard, wonderful kids like custard that make your head swell. Those are the kinds of achievements that impress me, that I seek - kids that make their parents proud and make a difference in their generation. Whoever that Oga is, your feat is marvellous in my sight. You are doing extremely well

Some would say shebi it’s the kids that had the intellect to attend and graduate an Ivy League school but I say to parents: Never underestimate the power of the upbringing, the motivation, the direction that you give your children and the conditions you create to help them succeed. May our offspring make us proud, may we have the resources to help them achieve their purpose. Well done, Sir!

Thank you Ma'am, I will surely like to read that.
I can surely relate to everything you have written from the experience of being un USA for many decades.
After more than 40 years of service, I just fully retired, so I have been thru some good and bad times. Thank you.

Hajji M.

Alright Sir, I will find the posts and paste here.

Congratulations on your retirement, may you enjoy it in an abundance of good health with peace of mind. I can only imagine the stories you could tell after more than 4 decades.

somehow:


Unfortunately, you're not communicating with this mindset.
Share your view, no need thinking other's views are wrong.

There are 2 or more sides to all issues or you don't think so?

No one said everyone made their monies illegitimately.

The point I want to believe some are pushing is that building to show that you have arrived or to pepper others is actually pushing those who never knew how you made your money into trying by any means possible to "outdo" you.

Build because you want to and because it gives you fulfillment, not because you wish to make others envy or worship you.

If you have actually made enough money legitimately, trust me, you don't even need to prove you have. The world will surely know.

There are people you haven't seen their homes but obviously have heard of them being rich and all that.

A successful man does not need to "pepper" anyone to prove that he's successful, it will naturally tell.

Thank you for spelling this out for him, I was not going to waste a single alphabet responding to him. They have started to add salt and pepper to my comments so that they can attack a narrative that I did not espouse. That was after trying to introduce tribal sentiments as if I did not mention the things my Yoruba people do.

michlins:
has it occurred to you that some people have done everything you listed here and still have insane amount of money left and they legitimately made it too. So they can afford to splurge it on mansions,cars or very expensive vacations.


We're all different people. We derive pleasure in different things. Your source of pleasure might sound stupid to me but it's your money and your choice. Same goes here too

Where did I imply or suggest that everyone that shares your mindset must be into illegitimacy? You should go back and read my first post on the topic.

You and your crew have repeatedly made it clear that peppering people is the driving intention, anything else is secondary to that. This is not even the first time I’ve seen your post where you said something similar.

We both know our mindsets are worlds apart. Your comments about the female child, of which I am one, makes that double glaring. Here’s a piece of advice - you do you and I will do me. I don’t recall trying to convince you not to build the tallest house in the village so go right ahead while I make my own comments. No need to be triggered

michlins:
I'm sorry if I sounded disrespectful and commanding. I just want to pick your brain as you have displayed you have wealth of knowledge to share

First, I’ll tell you the reasons for which I do not work:

I do not work to impress anyone
I do not work to compete with or rival anyone
I do not work to pepper anyone
Let’s just say I do not work to keep up with the Joneses and in fact, I have no Joneses in my life
I derive no pleasure in publicity that stems from anything I own or do
I am not comfortable with anyone feeling I am more than them or better just because of economic disparities


I work because God has blessed me with the physical and mental resources to be able to do my job
I work so that I can do my quota by paying tax to support the social welfare system that takes care of the have nots in the society and keeps our social infrastructure going
I work because we have achieved success in raising kids with the right moral values, kids not consumed with the idea of money, kids I can trust to be prudent with their inheritance
I work so that I can have enough for my needs and desires and have excess to be generous towards others, to be the reason why someone still believes in miracles
I work so that I can support my husband to create the utmost financial comfort for our family
I work so that I will not be dependent on anyone in my old age
I work so that our children will never have to worry about money
I work so that our kids do not lack and so that we can give them an even better life than we had
I work so that we can donate money to social causes like cancer research
I work so that I can buy any comfort I desire and splurge on overpriced luxuries when my husband agrees
I work so that I can pay a tithe to further the work of God’s church
I work so that I can invest to show our kids that in the end, it’s not how much you make, it’s how much you save
I work so that I can show my kids that honest labor can lead to rewards beyond the imagination and there’s never a reason to steal or cheat to make headway.

I’ll stop here but I will say that I’m not a typical Naija woman and my value system reflects that. I am not mother Teresa, I am not an angel but I am a simple person with simple convictions . You’ll see that most of the lines are inter-twinned.

One prayer point of every Igbo family is for God never to never allow any woman that would discourage their sons from building a befitting house in village in their life. That prayer is still being said even till as we are talking.

I can only speak for myself and how I have planned to live my life. Upbringing has little or nothing to do with pursuit of personal happiness. Your premise is that impoverished background is the reason why people do some of the these things, and that is wrong. I for one is an exception.
My parents did extremely well in their days. As a matter of fact I went to the most expensive school in the whole SE /SS Nigeria and so did my other siblings. I was chauffeured to school everyday in Citroen.

Someday I will post the picture of the whole compound where I am building, a mix of old and contemporary mansions is one evidence of family past and present position.

Beside my mansion are two others my brother's and my dads. My brother mansion in the village did not stop him from completing his 32 units of flats last year ( Onye buru ebu, ebu go). If I mention his companies name here, my identity would be revealed because its a household name

In terms of cheap housing in the US, in planned communities there is hardly any relatively cheap single family houses among other big mansions in those specified neighborhood

When family people with kids buy cheap houses, they later find out that the school system in those area are bad, they now turn to expensive private schools. At the end, school fees alone for two kids would have been enough to pay for mansion somewhere with good free school system. I call it deceiving oneself not prudence or maybe ignorance.

We can never agree on this issue, I am Igbo, male.

LOL your first paragraph is the one that interests me. Incidentally, the prayer of every female like me, born into a household where we are treasured and respected and elevated like our male siblings, raised strong and proud, is that we never end up with domineering, controlling men who are close minded and irrevocably stuck in traditions that dictate they must impress all and sundry and who would never listen to the counsel of their female partners.

This is the prayer I pray for my nieces.

michlins:
why do you work hard. Sum it up in two sentences or maximum of four

When you’ve learnt to make requests in a polite manner, I might respond.
I don’t respond to commands. Good breeding/manners matters

mufutau55:


This my Mama need to write book o. You have covered a lot of avenues on this wrte-up. Very useful information that most of our people are not aware of, or may be that they dont want to accept.
Thank you for this write-up, "you are on the money".

Hajji M.

Eseun Sir!

I did a write up somewhere else a couple of months ago about some of the reasons why Nigerians struggle abroad when they shouldn’t . Maybe I’ll post it here so that our youth can “gb’ori duro” learn a few things. Rome was not built in a day, honest wealth acquisition takes time.

cayorday89:

Comments like this makes me to feel that I am on the right path, results might not be visible now, (not that I mind though, I have lived a low key life that my poor moments and my okay moments in terms of finance cannot be differentiated from my every day life) but I sure know I will get there. And I was enjoying this beautiful piece until I saw my name coming first as a bad example. It pain me oooo, as I have met few Kayodes who are humble and hardworking as I am.

LOL Kayode, sorry your name came first. I can testify that if you focus on honest labor, save and invest your money, run your race, be generous, don’t try to keep up with the Joneses, you are going to wake up one day and realize that you have achieved beyond what you can imagine. The way God will bless you will leave you in amazement. Not just money but your children, your career, your investments. Everything takes time but it’s time well spent.

sonnie10:


99% of Nigerians in US are working hard for their money. Most have family of 4-5 (parents and children) and earning about $100k a year between both parents. Most are nurses (wife) and husband in the same level of pay. If they live a modest life, total monthly expenses would not exceed $5-6k a month. Whatever is left can build any mansion in Nigeria if self supervised under 1-2 years.

They do not need to work 2-3 jobs
The do not need to go into any shaddy thing
They do not need to max credit card
The do not need to change cars every years
They have brains to manage their own finances.

First of all, I made a distinction between the ones that are criminals and the ones that are not criminals so no point saying “no need to go into any shady thing” since that does not apply to the group whose net worth/ debt profile I highlighted and whom I assume are your reference point for this post?

I’m not sure where your statistics are coming from re 99%, nurses, $100k household income , same level of pay, etc. I can speak for my family and my Nigerian social circle and all of what you’ve stated here is inaccurate.

There’s only one nurse in my Nigerian social circle
My husband earns significantly more than I do so our pay levels are not even close
Our monthly expenses exceed $6k per month
Household income is significantly more than what you’ve stated, etc. so you see why you can’t just generalize.

With that said, I am quite aware of households making less and more than your stated $100k a year who are maxed out on their credit cards even with side hustles (2nd, 3rd jobs), paying monthly leases running into thousands of dollars for multiple luxury vehicles, white elephant building projects in Naija that they are constantly struggling to fund, buying the biggest houses in the most affluent neighborhoods etc. You and I know you can live in a nice neighborhood with a good school district without buying the most expensive house there that makes mortgage payments an uphill battle every month.

You may not necessarily like with what I said but it’s a fact. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in my decades abroad, it is that background plays a major role. We are products of our upbringing, our experiences. Some people grew up in lack and/or members of the oppressed group, economically disadvantaged. Many spend the rest of their lives trying to prove that they are good enough, they have arrived and no matter their achievements, they can never move beyond the mindset of trying to impress those that considered them “less than.” Yorubas have a term “oju o ri ola ri” eyes that have never seen wealth. This is the set of people that commonly “do more than themselves” at home and abroad. They’re constantly boasting that they’ll do things they cannot do because the compulsion to show off is overriding, even when those around them know they are lying.

There is no way you and I would ever see eye to eye on this issue because we come from different ends. I did say my opinion would be unpopular but it’s still mine, no apologies You are entitled to yours too. I said what I said!

kopell:
Gbosa LBT, sister you to much, facts remains same oooo. It looks like people are competing with themselves in our society showing off wealth without sweat, that's what's driving criminality on social media especially between the youth, may the lord help us out of this calamity.

Social media has completely elevated and enthroned the nonsense because now anyone can find a pic from anywhere to show off what they own or do not own to pepper others. Plus majority no longer care where the money comes from.

Hi money121,

I vaguely recall something about this woman from many years ago but I think it was in relation to the Siena moniker from the auto section and also, something about her selling lands in the Ajah/Lekki area.

I’m really sorry, I don’t know how to help in this case other than the legal route someone suggested on the off topic thread.

Awon apanilekunjaiye

money121:

Hello mama
Please do you saw my Post

Sorry, not yet. I will check.

PSA

If you choose to move and live abroad and raise your kids there, know that your children would consider themselves to be American/British/Finnish/Australian, etc first before Nigerian. The sooner we accept this, the better - I learnt that from experience. These kids are a different generation, being raised in a different world. Do not expect them to be accommodating/tolerant of the Naija of today.

michlins:
here's the thing. We're Igbo people. Our children will always return home and will try to outbuild us. I have been to many people homes from this thread, you will put a respect to their name.

If I get money today, I will build a modest bungalow for old age but you see MANSION, I must build it. It can waste after I die for all I care. But I must have it to my name. You see red cap and chieftaincy title,it must be added to my name. Have you listened to any osadebe or Oliver decoque? Someone is called

"Mkpuogiriga 1 na umuoji". This person can't stand up in his community and you make noise. At the end of it all,all these are the reason we work hard to make money. Many people have enough money to live modestly till they die but they went that extra mile to become wealthy. It might sound vain but then, everything else in life is vain

No, reason why “you “ work hard. A lot of people have moved on from the mindset that drives you. In the end, as long as your aspirations can be achieved through honest sweat. It is dishonest sweat that adds sorrow during a person’s lifetime.

Unpopular opinion (?):

These unhealthy rivalries, ego drives and need to show off are some of the major causes of the current state of our morals as a nation and it is not restricted to the people of the SE alone. I can’t speak for the north because I don’t know enough northerners to make a judgment but these mindsets permeate the whole of southern Nigeria from the Yorubas of the SW, all across our country’s southern regions. Please note the use of the word “average “ in my write up below, I’d hate to see any hasty responses that ignored that qualifier.

These “ideologies “ are one of the reasons overseas prisons, from Asia to Europe to the USA are flooded with Kayodes, Nosas, Emekas and all manner of southerners. The journey to riches at all costs with no boundaries. The average southerner desires wealth , first and foremost to prove that they have arrived. Personal utility/benefit of the riches is secondary. Part of human development is mental development. I’m old fashioned myself in a lot of ways but when it comes to finance, I allow little room for sentiments. Speaking to the SE aspirations already mentioned by several people, it’s interesting that we have a number of Igbo friends, professionals with good jobs, great incomes with the financial resources to build mansions in the village yet have no desire to do such but are content with donating money to fund infrastructure that benefit the villagers. I will admit the ones we are close with were largely born and bred in Lagos so maybe that’s the difference in thinking. It’s easier to embrace certain ideologies in adulthood if they were already instilled from birth if you were born in the region. You more or less grow up with people with the same mindsets and rub minds with them. Similar to the SW asoebi, owambe crew for whom life is “party after party.” If your social circle is filled with people of a certain mindset, chances are high that you would mirror their thinking and aspirations.

In the old days, it was possible to achieve certain inspirations without crime but in Naija of 2022 with an economy that is all but comatose at this point, a person would still be panting and sweating to build white elephant projects in a village of 1500 people or less while some other southerners just want the money so that they can throw multi million naira parties with KWAM1 and Sunny Ade on stage as they celebrate 10th, 20th, 50th death anniversaries of loved ones or so they can buy an AMG G63 they are not capable of maintaining or make it rain dorime at the clubs so they can be hailed. Is it any wonder our morals as a country is in the pits when we have high end desires that cannot be supported with economic realities? Realistically, what are the chances of the average person in these groups, in Nigeria, being able to achieve such misplaced priorities through honest labor with zero criminal acts? Again, I say average. I know there is a very tiny minority that is capable of achieving without resorting to crime.

Abroad, even if they are not into crime, they are leveraged (in debt) to their eyeballs. Credit cards are maxed out, multiple loans are being serviced, little or no savings compared to incomes earned. They even patronize pay day loan lenders that charge astronomical rates because they are living pay cheque to pay cheque. With a take home pay of USD10k or more after deductions, some cannot save USD1k a month and I’m not exaggerating. It’s called “doing pass yasef.” You no fit drink water drop cup. For some, that is all on top of working 2/3 jobs to make ends meet and complete the village white elephant project back home or fund the next owambe at Eko Hotels. Even in the abroad, they are the “house poor “ Nigerians with the biggest houses that are mortgaged to the hilt, occasionally even unable to make mortgage payments. Cars nko? Multiple leased luxury vehicles to keep up with the appearance of wealth even as they are voracious consumers of luxury brand knockoffs because they cannot afford the real thing but want to keep up appearances.

At Naija parties, they are the braggarts, always ready to make grandiose announcements that may not even be rooted in fact. Picture people like N3xt. With no prompting, they announce all these assets that they own, all these projects they are funding but they won’t say pim about their debts. Ladies and gentlemen, the koko is the net worth (assets-liabilities). That is the real wealth if you are looking to measure. Some of these people have declared personal bankruptcy one or more times in the US because their debt load became uncontrollable but their people in Naija have no idea.

I’m going to touch on the swimming pool idea that has become so popular now with detached homes. I can understand pools in apartment buildings that have the population and hopefully traffic and maintenance funds (service fees) to keep them viable but these tiny, soak away sized “swimming pools “ in detached homes are the ones that baffle. Note, I’m not talking about the ones you find in homes that have plenty land to accommodate beta pools. If you cannot afford enough land to accommodate the house and a proper-sized pool, why must you build a pool that is going to end up breeding mosquitoes and drowning lizards? To start with, it takes money to maintain those pools and that is on top of the house’s maintenance. Half the time, these pools are not even built to international standards but we like to copy international ideas. The average Nigerian’s idea of relaxing has nothing to do with wearing swimming trunks or being in a pool. It’s strictly isiewu/peppered snails/nkwobi/small chops, etc with alcohol but we build a pool as a status symbol even if it ends up in disrepair within a few months.

DUNKA:
We have long since moved from this stage of videos, pictures and moonlight stories. You had the opportunity to trash is privately with Somehow before we got to know there were issues. You had the chance to handover properly but you were more interested in engaging the qs and client here on Nairaland.

Go and tell these lies to the maga's on your Kobocity App/website we refuse to engage you and your falsehoods here as when you were chopping Somehow money did you do video of you chopping it.

E go red for you this year

It’s all he’s got! Unending stories, photos, and videos. Which builder has unlimited time for videos and even drone shots? All hours of the day and night, he’s prowling and posting on Nairaland with videos and pics. Build 2 coaches, take 10 photos! Which legitimate builder does that? Only Yahoo boys stay online 24 hours to ply their trade.

emmyN:


I can't speak for next. You both have been unable to properly come up with a concession on why the project was abandoned. For instance next cited that you did tiling of roof walls in September or so, something he wasn't contracted to do and was a prerequisite for installing roofing sheets. But when you came up initially to tell us project was abandoned since May 8, you didn't tell us these, and when he brought that to you here, you did not respond to it. Next's citations still did not add up to me though as there were too many gaps in dates unaccounted for. I can only judge from information willingly supplied by you both.

The QS; I wonder if you had contracted with him initially to be fully involved as your project manager that you had to take recommendations from him to terminate the contract. The QS was the right person to play mediatory role here since you consulted with him first when the fall-out started, but... At this point you were already agitated. Then came review of contract sum versus work done and agreement on an amount to refund. Since QS was involved in the initial bid selection, he should have been in better position to bring to figures a near accurate amount that was due. But his quote which was clearly overbloated from evidence supplied here had to be reviewed a number of times. It makes me question his competencies or if this was a deliberate sabotage. He was asked to show proof here but ignored.

These are bygones. What is important now is that you recover your money, and I hope your contractor comes up with it real quick.

Afterthought: You say you are willing to take 2M from the 2.45M quoted by QS. Now I wouldn't know why you easily conceded 450k, but next showed estimates here on how he feels he is only due for a little over a million. I notice you haven't really contested this yet. Why?

Look, if you’re going to attempt a defence of the indefensible, come correct! Like, put some effort into it no matter how dead on arrival.
Apart from the sum owed, the thing most of us will never forget is the #2MM quote vs #1.4MM signed contract and your friend’s attempt to re define the terms of that contract after collecting money! Who does that? A so called seasoned builder with over 10 years experience attempting to tell us that what the #1.4MM covered is subject to wide interpretation because it could be marble or not bla, bla, bla! Classic utterances of a shady businessman and not a particularly sophisticated one at that.

You did not notice that part of the exchange with the QS? Abi that is the language of honest businessmen in your neck of the woods? Sign contract, collect 100% disbursement and then months later, start to define what the disbursement covers? Na so dem dey do business?

Utterances like yours only prove that those providing cover for people like N3xt are not any more intelligent than the scammers themselves. Consider doing what his diehard supporters are doing - throw shade and move on , do not open your mouth to actually pen nonsense!

He says he only owes #1MM yet shingba e no get , a very common trait of people like him. If there’s any money in his account, it’s other people’s money, funds “in trust “ that he shouldn’t even touch. A decade of this enterprise with nothing to show for it save for his deteriorating Shagamu house with 10 year old photos he still shows in the new decade to deceive the unsuspecting . Even the business truck was a one hit wonder. Truck to which he dedicated several photo shoots no longer exists and was probably only leased temporarily. Kobo no dey pocket.

If crime paid he wouldn’t have crawled back to Nland after a 4 year absence to restart where he stopped! Hunger almost finished him while he was away from here. Do him a favour and help him pay back all monies owed. Don’t be like supporters of Oyinbogoju, Nairaland’s decorated child rapist who is serving 3 life sentences + 76 years in the US. Supporters that only make mouth and cannot put money down for their “innocent “ fraudulent buddies. As one gentleman already said, you supporters should put your money where your mouth is. Help him with cash too, it’s not by selective reading and comprehension or a display of gross ignorance or misinterpretation of civil and criminal law!

On a side note, for anyone who knew Oyinbogoju aka Adedoja Olaniyi Bah, who was once popular on Nairaland, his story is in the crime section. It reads like a novel and I daresay it’s interesting if you have the time. Yahoo boy deported from Japan to Nigeria for money laundering and sex crimes but still found his way to the US state of Georgia where he is currently locked up for life on a 12 count conviction, including rape and sodomy of a 13 year old Black girl.

That thread highlights how easily my people swallow packaging even without the criminals trying very hard. It’s a real eye-opener.
Spoiler alert **************






Oyinbogoju did it! He was duly prosecuted and convicted.

Ok ma,
But ma i want it to be private discussion
I don't know if we can chat thru Whatsapp ma

Sir, let’s chat here. No offence and no rudeness intended but I don’t share contacts with anyone on Nairaland so that’s why I would not be comfortable with WhatsApp . If not this thread, we can chat on a different thread.

STARKENNETH:

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT FROM MOST NIGERIANS,CAUSE YOU SAID YOU WERE TREATED THE SAME WAY AS ME,I THINK YOU WERE A STUDENT OR ASPIRANT LIKE ME,HOW COULD YOU INSULT SOMEONE TRYING TO HELP THE NEEDY WITH LITTLE E GET? EVEN IF HE SUSPECTS YOU,HE HAS EVERY REASON TO NA,AT LEAST SIR DAMILOLADUKE DIDN'T INSULT YOU WHEN ASKING FOR PROOF,I WAS BRUTALLY INSULTED BY A NAIRALANDER CALLING ME A LAZY SCAMMER PIG,I DIDN'T GO WILD AS YOU DID,CAUSE I KNOW GOD SEES US ALL,AND GOD KNOWS I'M NOT WHAT HE CLAIMED I AM,EVEN A NICE,CARING GOD FEARING WOMAN, MMOTIMO ,ONCE PROVED MY INNOCENCE.

I did not at any time prove yours or anyone’s innocence. I assisted you once, I know nothing about you beyond what is online

I am almost speechless and that’s not at all normal for me.
Gentlemen (no offence, no ladies spotted) of this thread, I say “well done.” You have done excellently. Wow! The outcry, the outrage, the indignation- all very loud as it should be.
For standing up and speaking, your labor, your sweat, your harvest will be blessed. Strangers will be good to you and your seed. People you have never met will rise up to do good for you and your offspring. Favor will find you and enrich you. Traps laid in your path by “packagers “ and the “yahoo nation “ will not ensnare you.
I am happy at what I’m seeing and reading. It’s about time!
Even his most ardent supporters are speaking out at last and calling a spade a spade. Truly impressive. What God cannot do does not exist!

God bless you merry gentlemen

We need an active moderator who knows how to deal with fraudsters, preferably diligent individuals like Tabbaz and Justwise. People that are regular on here and have zero tolerance for BS. The current moderator is completely ineffective and is not at all present. He is fully aware of brabus’ / N3xt’s/ brabusng’s escapades from the past and there’s no excuse for not saying a word or intervening in the current crisis. By multiple acts of omission, he has enabled N3xt’s “enterprise.” Nairaland is his personal hunting ground. He has tried severally yet failed to drive traffic to his kobocity website.

A stickied scammers list is imperative so that active and aspiring fraudsters in this section can be properly recognized and avoided.

Hi money121

I saw the email notification. We can talk here, I only use that account for Nland so I don’t check on it regularly.

Godisgreatest1:


Thank you very much madam. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year filled with happiness, good health, prosperity and all other blessings in abundance from God. Amen.

I say a big “amen” and this prayer is received with profound thanks.
May your path be lined with prayers and goodwill and may you and yours enjoy an abundance of every good thing that God offers. Thank you, Sir!

somehow:


Not my new moniker (as you can see from the registration date), I am not the one using freshcvvs but the name.

So kindly reword your comment.

The freshcvvs was never yours? But that is the one attached to #42 and the one Lady claimed paid her?

FireRain:

I do remember you and follow your diary bumper to bumper
I have been extremely busy with the logistics company I run hence the absence of frequent chats, I just read news, make comments and exit.

May the new year usher in good tidings into your family Ma.

Amen and your family too. I pray bountiful increase to your business, may you see profit beyond your imagination.

telim:

You did a nice job by pointing out the scammer. I have given him a total of 40k. 10k last year and 30k days ago, it is just a matter time before he spend everything and start begging with a new moniker. 40k won't last long before he comes back begging again. I will be very careful hence forth

He has de-activated both monikers but yes, he will be back because the lure of free money has spoilt him but it will never be enough.

anuofGod:

Amen Amen Amen in Jesus name.
Thanks so so much. May God's favor be upon you. May God bless you in all of your endeavors, you'll not be troubled and may God keep you in good health.
I'm very grateful o, I am so grateful, I saw the alert yesterday but I couldn't touch it because I don't know who sent it. You will not suffer. Thanks so much. I'm very grateful.

Adura yii poooooooooo! I say “amen” and thank you very much. I hope your daughter is doing fine now.

Godisgreatest1:


I'm not too concerned about the current fraud by, surprisingly, a known serial fraudstar. Rather my concern is about 'future or yet-to-be perpetuated fraud'.

I joined this platform in 2019 and I only knew about all these after you shared the history here for several days. I read the details word for word and did my own research.

It was amazing to me that a well known vendor that I contacted here for a job confirmed all what you said but chose to keep shut. Some people are wicked in this life.

Now, what about those that are yet to join this platform?, the truth is most of them won't know. The warnings you gave are several pages behind, and that is probably why the number of victims of fraud by the same fraudstar and his accomplices will continue.

When there is no moderator, the place becomes a 'den of thieves'.

If the moderator isn't active, he should be made to or replaced.

For the first time I visited 'business section' yesterday and I was pleased with what the moderator did there. Something similar or even better should be replicated here.

Thank you.

Your post gladdens my heart because my campaign is primarily for the newbies who have no idea what they are walking into with N3xt. When we are our brother’s keeper, God has a way of blessing us and making sure our own harvest is protected from locusts. It’s easy to feel smug and complacent because we know N3xt for whom he is and we won’t do business with him. Yet how about that other money venture where you’re talking with someone like N3xt and people in the know do not say a word of warning to you? You walk in and lose money and forget that was the same thing you aided with your silence on this thread. What goes around comes around, soro soke!

Happy new year, posters and readers of this thread. My prayer is for greater heights and I have found that the secret to acquiring wealth is to have integrity and do honest labor. Any “gains” that come from fraudulently obtaining money from others will always be fleeting because God cannot be mocked, we reap what we sow . N3xt has been on this journey for more than 10 years now with constant stories about the projects he has done and is doing yet I can bet that actual INCREASE has been negligible and that is why the merry go round continues. If fraud came with permanent rewards, we wouldn’t still be talking about him like this in 2021.

I realize that Naija continues to be tougher and the yahoo mindset has almost taken over the land, starting with our polithiefians. Do not let that distract you. Run your own race with clean hands, count your blessings and above all, embrace contentment. You don’t need to have what anyone else has. God has equipped each of us for our own personal journey. It will surprise you how much blessings will come your way through clean sweat.

Lastly, many people think I am male. No, I am a wife, a mother, an employee and many other things with a passionate dislike for fraud, especially when it comes to those that work for their money.

Contrary to allusions that have been made, I have never done business with N3xt nor anyone here for that matter. Even though we can boast of property at home and abroad, my husband and I are not real estate investors. My passion is the American stock exchange specifically the NYSE, the NASDAQ. I understand it, we have been blessed in it and continue to be blessed in it so my presence here is not about doing business but I am bothered by the amount of money that is easily lost to fraudsters. It’s not my money but that doesn’t mean I should keep quiet. Hopefully, 2022 is a better year with a lot less fraud and drama.

In case anyone is wondering, I can’t say I’ve ever been defrauded because the Nigerian guy that tried it many years ago with I think it was $12k-13k called me himself to arrange immediate return after what he went through with me. I no get juju but I’ll say “get you a wife that refuses to be quiet “

See you in 2022!
