Baronthecelebri:
When we say go church and hear the word of God,you refuse.
Jesus said the enemy of a man is his house hold, love all your friends but never trust any one them.
Did he say he didn’t go Chucrh?
Don’t church members have challenges?
You people always talk as if once someone is a Christian, he or she cannot have problem.
You have not seen cases where it’s even the church that will implicate you?
Just pray you don’t get into problem, church or no church.
However, I am not preaching against “ being a believer “ but life can happen to anyone.
Even the pastors that prays for congregation do get problem, so who are you?
When Jesus said “ you will face trials and tribulations, But, be of good cheer”

Im not saying going to church is not good and hearing the word of God, I'm a Christian also, and it a very good advice, but let me tell you one story..


I'm a Catholic, one of our old church warden has not been in church for like a year, very active old man in almost all society he belongs to..

He stood as a guarantor for someone who collected millions, but the person ran away with the money, they picked him up, and ended in kirikiri prison for more than a year, it was when they were doing visitation to the prison they found him there, that was how he was saved the following week...

Everything always happen for a reason, we should just pray that God should not take us to a place we will never see help or return 🙏
No matter what you do, don't stand as guarantor for a loan in Nigeria especially for a person you do not know well!

When My Guy Snitched: How God Saved Me

You never really know who your true friends are until wahala knocks on your door. That’s something I learned the hard way.

It all started back in Lagos, 2022. Hustle was tough, and everybody was looking for a way to make ends meet. Me and my homeboy, Tega, had been rolling together since secondary school — same hood, same dreams, same hunger. We used to say, “We go make am together, no matter how.”

I was doing small online work — freelance gigs, crypto trading, sometimes flipping accounts for commission. It wasn’t always straight, but it wasn’t exactly bad either. Just street survival, you know? But somehow, one small mistake almost landed me behind bars.

One day, Tega hit me up.
“Bro, I get connect for one foreign job. Big money involved. You fit run some transactions for me?”

Normally, I no dey touch anything suspicious again — I’d already told God I was done with anything shady. But the way things were going, I was tempted. Still, something inside told me chill.

So I told Tega no.

Next thing I know, two weeks later, EFCC agents pulled up at my gate early morning — loud knocks, black vans, bulletproof vests. Before I could even say ‘wetin dey happen?’, they burst in shouting my name like they rehearsed it.

They searched everything. Phone, laptop, even my prayer journal. Apparently, someone mentioned my name in connection to a “financial fraud network.”

Guess who?
Tega.

He had gotten caught, and to save himself, he gave them my name — said I was the one handling “the back-end.”
My guy. My brother. My day one.

I spent two days in EFCC custody. No food, no sleep, just pure fear. They kept showing me screenshots, transactions I’d never seen in my life. I told them I was innocent, but who believes that story in Nigeria?

Then something miraculous happened. The lead investigator called me aside. He said,
“Your name came up, but the evidence doesn’t tie back to you. Someone is lying — and it’s not you.”

Turns out, one of the accounts Tega used was traced directly to his own BVN. His lies backfired. They released me that evening, no charges filed.

When I stepped out into the street, the evening air felt like freedom itself. I didn’t even go home straight — I just stood outside, looked up, and whispered,
“God, thank you. You really saved me.

Cooked up story
Pls
Seems you're still in your twenties for thinking everything is always cooked up. You haven't experienced things in life that's why.

In this evil world, with the numerous bad news flying up and down on a daily basis, if you are still thinking many of the news you see online are cooked up, you need to think twice and start thinking out of the box.

Go and watch Africa Crime Today and True Crime Daniel channels so you can learn that things are truly happening.

Meanwhile, also watch this story of how a man kpai another of his guy he did business with.

Don't be naive to think that many atrocities being committed by fellow humans are not happening in their true senses.

And thats where it ended? None of you, if truly innocent, can stand up and sue the company for wrongful detention?
The way some of you mention sue on this platform makes one to wonder.......

Have you ever heard of abuse of court process before?

Do you think Nigerian courts are so less busy to accommodate just every case ?

Soon, you will sue your landlord for putting off the front light too early enough

You are lucky. Mine was about 12 years ago. Started making some sales for a big real estate company in Ikeja and collecting my commission steadily intending to run my masters program along with my hustle. Suddenly one of their sales manager there at that time refused to give me my commission on a sale worth millions of naira giving me excuses and promises despite I helped him meet his sales target. Thereafter a staff in the company falsely accused me that I want to sell one of the company’s properties advertised for sale to her client at an undervalued price which was absolutely false. They escalated the matter to their management and coo and without her thinking straight or doing diligent investigation invited the police who arrested me in their office.
At the station I was assaulted, shoes were removed, paper and biro was given to me to write statement. And phone was taken from me to find out any incriminating evidence to the crime. They found none but found receipts and commissions of many of all my accreditated sales and property listings. And the ones they deliberately refused to pay me with excuse including my chats with them.
They felt sorry and remorseful for their actions and advised me not to work for that company again after I bailed myself out of the station from my pocketh

Erh. I was still naive and in shock at that time. The police inspector monitored the whole situation and was giving me calls to find out they paid the outstanding balance and ensured I was treated fairly and not cheated.
I thank God at the end. Because I won’t wish that situation for any one

Well said. But did you make this comment out of personal experience that came from going to court or is just another batch of words written with the ignorant hand?

Hey! I was not earning up to 40k when I sued a whole company and won. I heard this type of talk from a thousand narrow minded people like you but guess what... I put them in the box of irrelevant opinions and went ahead.

Tell me, how much does it cost to file a case? If your case is a good case and there is a good chance of winning and making money then there is a lawyer that will be too willing to jump on it.
Yes you will spend money to make money but Is that what you are afraid of? Is that the reason why you will not fight to bring your oppressors to their knees? I have done it more than once and i promise you, nothing is gives more satisfaction than seeing those who treated you like garbage coming back to beg you for "out of court" settlement. Stop allowing fear and unfounded assumptions to meddle with your life and the little freedom you still have.
