Faced with the dilemma of traveling to Abuja for my documents authentication, I was lost in thoughts. I quickly searched through Nairaland and saw a few adverts about documents authentication. I read through each one of them and felt the one by @drLammy was the most authentic. I quickly placed a call and he responded. Immediately I mentioned I want to come to Abuja, He was quick to say,“you don’t need to waste your time coming. We will do it for you. I know you might be afraid, but trust me, it’s our job.“ Those statements put me into even more dilemma.

Should I send my original documents to a total stranger in Abuja to help with my authentication? Would my organization give me the grace to leave work for a week because of my personal business? I called my Dad to seek his opinion, and he quickly shouted me down. My baby asked if I was crazy to think about that. What if he seizes your documents and demands a ransom? My friends who wanted to authenticate their documents were pushing that I send mine first, so I could be used to test run the plug.

In all of this dilemma, I combed this entire Nairaland thread. There's no way this guy could be a scammer; he has maintained this thread for years, and nobody has given a negative review. Or does he get people to do the review and delete the negative ones? For four years? Hell, no. It's not possible. He can't be that consistent. At the end of the day, I decided to give it a try. We all die once, I thought.

In the end, I found @drLammy to be one honest guy who sticks to his words. He not only authenticated my documents, but he also helped me arrange the ones I couldn't get here in Lagos.

When I pushed to pay an extra fee so that he could hasten the process, he declined the offer and told me he'd do his best, and an extra fee cannot guarantee the swiftness of the job. Wow. Is this guy even Nigerian? So I thought.

For your document authentication and other academic consult, your sure plug is here. Don't go anywhere. I give him 100%
