Since you know this man's behavior
and antecedents, you should have employed
a "money for hand, back for bed " policy.

Now, even your initial sympathizers will
abandon you.


Twice beaten...


👏👏Up guy man Prof. Umahi 👏👏👏

She was told that if she can provide evidence that she did business with him, she'll be given #1bn.

So why didn't she provide evidence and collect the money instead of the $70k she collected.
Can you dash out 70k dollars to someone you didn't know from Adams who came out to lie against you?

She did all she did out of trust and desperation right from the beginning of the transaction 12 yrs ago...the only reason she failed to get her money years ago is because she denied umahi her body and he felt insulted.... the man took advantage of the situation knowing she supplied goods based on Trust and familiarity....

Imagine a friend of urs that u usually hang around with telling u to supply 10 cartons of Fanta for her child's birthday....u just do it without documentation or receipts....even if there were receipts, u wud even dump them somewhere...believing that ur friend wudnt disappoint ... only for story to enter the matter after months and maybe a couple of years of "u will get the money " ...."let me settle down ", "I will give u more transactions"... as per Governor...she relaxed thinking more benefits will come thru thats why she never opened up all these years ...they fell apart when she refused umahi sex and he promised not to pay her money cos he knew she had no evidence...

This is a strong lesson to people ....umahi is a demon... that lawyer has collected his share ..now the case has turned against her... the reason political elites wanna make sure this country is forever in poverty is because of situations like this .. so that they can control the system... Police, lawyers, activists , judges ...all will bow to what they want so that they dont go hungry... they will gain better supporting umahi than the woman ...thats why justice is dead in Nigeria
Trust me, I'm not even a fan of any of them. So, I'm viewing things from a neutral standpoint.

Going by your analogy, a friend of mine asking me to supply some cartons of drinks for my child's birthday doesn't expect me to do it by myself. My boys, whom I would send obviously would issue receipts because if they don't, how would they account for the supplied items because it wouldn't show anywhere how they left.

I'm sure the gift items she claimed to supply weren't made with hands? They were purchased and logistics were also involved. Let's have any receipts or proof, even if it's from the logistics firms that delivered those items. She claimed her girls/workers were in that hotel with her, let's hear from any of them. Besides, you would hardly make a supply of 250m alone. Where are the partners or the collaborators?

You can not continue to make excuses for this woman. When I head an issue with a woman who defrauded me just last month and I got her reported and tracked, I pulled out all the transactions spanning about a year and I could pursue the matter because I had proof.

If she's got no proof, she should keep quiet and stop washing her dirt linen in the public.

I'm conclusion, her latest statement spoilt everything "I retracted my statement because I was promised money". That statement alone has put her in a difficult position because it simply means on promises of money, she can be easily manipulated.

She shouldn't have come out at all of she knew she had no proof.

Look at the case of Natasha and Akpabio. She made an allegation of sexual harassment but because she could not document anything, (tho she's a lawyer and a law maker) her case could not fly because there's were no proofs.

Law is based on facts and evidence, and not on sympathy!

She is greedy and should not be trusted.
Read the post again, she said she didn't see any shishi. She also said it was agreed the money would be given before airing the video but the video was aired without giving her shishi.

Edited.

I was wrong. She got 70k USD.

My post was from an uniformed position, now I have all the info. Pardon please. She's something else and not a nice person.

This still doesn't exonerate umahi from the allegations.

It's obvious you don't want to listen, the question is why does she want to return the money? How did it get to her in the first place.
She made a video retracting what she said about Umahi and went on to collect #70k, how did it happen?

Go make your own full detailed research on that case not a fan of Umahi or the deadly APC but if that woman is not careful she is going to prison.
I have edited my post after more information emerged.

She should let sleeping dogs lie at this point.

Umahi has tried for her. He gave her 70k USD because he knows what went down.

She didn't have records of the transaction and even if she tried to produce any, as long as umahi didn't sign it, it's not credible.

She should let the matter rest, whether her lawyer outsmarted her or not.

She made the retraction on the strength that umahi has agreed to settle her though by a third party. Her lawyer assured her the video would only be aired after full payment of agreed sum, apparently, after paying her 70k USD, the lawyer released the video, this led her to believe the lawyer must have benefitted from the other party.

She should let the matter rest.

How is she greedy, why was she paid 70,000 dollars if she wasn't owed by the minister, simply she was played.

brolinderick:
She doesn't have proof to tender.
The court works on evidence and they can't take her by her words because anybody can say anything
She might have lots of evidences why is the minister afraid of suing this woman for defamation and why was she given $70,000

SmartPolician:
That woman deserves to be thrown into prison!
And why?

Anybody in her shoes would do the same. However, where she got it wrong was to agree with her so called lawyer. When people like Sowore and VDM and other activist were involved, when your lawyer proposed such idea to you, you should have brought Sowore n co into the picture. She have remained consistent but she was more concerned about retrieving her money.

As for the lawyer, it just shows how an average Nigerians behave. Opportunistic, self serving, and greedy. If the woman was alleged was given 70k, just know that more was probably offered to that lawyer to compromise his client. Just imagine that lawyer in public office, no ethical and moral values in Nigeria again. All gone with the wind and we are were we are today.

Lastly, is the need for Nigerians to jointly speak against the bad leaders. Umahi is a categorically a bad and unwise one. Poverty mentality shaped the man's ambition and elevation that he didn't know how to handle the matter rather than to show power, instead of correcting the wrong. The money he must have wasted trying to silence the woman was enough to have pay the woman and the matter wouldn't have raised dust in the first place. Not speaking against bad leadership would only end up with us being the victims eventually....

By Seun Adeuyi


Businesswoman Tracyniter Nicholas Ohiri has alleged that her earlier retraction of claims against the Minister of Works, David Umahi, was scripted and made under pressure, insisting she was promised $70,000 that was never paid.

In a fresh video circulating online, Ohiri said a lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, coerced her into recording the retraction and assured her that Umahi had agreed to compensate her before the video was made public.

“Marshal, you gave me a script… you forced me to do this video. You said the person told you he was willing to pay me and compensate me for even arresting me and body-shaming me in public,” she said.

She alleged that the agreement was that payment would be made before the video was released, but claimed that did not happen.

“You told me that I will receive my payment before you release the video. How did you release the video without me collecting my money?” she asked.

Ohiri further alleged that she was isolated and intimidated during the process.

“You made sure I did not speak to anybody… you kept on threatening me,” she said, calling on the Nigerian Bar Association to investigate Abubakar’s conduct, which she described as unethical.

Ohiri had earlier accused Umahi of owing her about N250 million for promotional and printing services she claimed to have rendered during his 2015 governorship campaign in Ebonyi State. She also alleged sexual harassment and intimidation after she demanded payment, claims the minister has consistently denied.

She was later arrested in Lagos over allegations of cyberbullying linked to her social media posts and transferred to Abuja, where she was detained at the FCT police command. She was subsequently arraigned before a magistrate court in Wuse on a defamation charge and granted bail.

The matter gained public attention after activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore confronted the minister at the police headquarters, criticising what he described as the criminalisation of a civil dispute.

Umahi, in his response, denied both the allegation of indebtedness and the claims of sexual harassment, describing them as baseless.

“As party chairman, I owed nobody… I presided over both men and women, and nobody ever said I harassed them,” he said, adding, “What you read on social media, I’m not worried about it… it’s just to make social media alive.”

Amid the controversy, Ohiri had released a video retracting her allegations and apologising to the minister and his family, saying the decision followed consultations with her family, friends and legal team. In that video, she stated that there was no formally signed agreement between her and the minister and suggested that any materials she supplied may have been used by aides without his knowledge.

However, her latest claims challenge that retraction, as she now insists it was made under duress and tied to a promise of financial settlement that was not fulfilled.

Responding on his Facebook page, Abubakar denied coercing Ohiri or withholding any payment, describing her allegations as false.

He said he had supported her during her arrest by mobilising assistance, engaging activists and helping to secure her bail. According to him, attempts were made to mediate between Ohiri and the minister, who maintained that he was not indebted to her.

“He insisted that he wasn’t owing her and wouldn’t pay unless she can establish the existence of a contract,” Abubakar said.

He added that he found no evidence to support her claims during the mediation process.

“There was no single real evidence of any contractual agreement… no evidence that the minister ever engaged her,” he said.

Abubakar said Ohiri eventually agreed to retract her allegations as part of efforts to resolve the dispute, adding that the $70,000 mentioned was provided by a third party, Joseph Ekumankama, not as compensation or an admission of liability, but to facilitate peace.

He denied benefiting financially from the arrangement and alleged that Ohiri later demanded a significantly higher sum.

“She promised to drag my name online unless I meet them to pay her N300 million,” he said, adding that he is considering legal action over the claims made against him.

So what's stopping her from hiring another lawyer and taking them to court?
Even without a lawyer didn't she know that there was suppose to be a written agreement and signed by both parties concerning the agreement?

Lady, time to shut up and settle this matter with Devil Umahi.

Decide what you want from him.

Enough of this tabloid drama.

You are starting to lose sympathy from those of us who sympathized with you originally.

I have done business with politicians who you'd think they have integrity.

One was a commissioner under Akpawaist.
He bought a lot of things consistently from us and paid in installments consistently without any documentation.

Initially, we presented profoma invoice and receipts for him to sign, he signed though but not his full signature. At a point, he declined signing all together but the transactions went on smoothly without any issues until he owed 3.5m and refused to pay till date. He went on to become a two terms senator and a governorship aspirant but do you know that till date, he never paid up and we have not done any other business with him.

Even if we had papers signed by him, we still wouldn't bring any legal actions against him because of old time sake.
These guys decline to put their signatures on paper to avoid EFCC and the likes who have full authority to come in and check the books of certain category of businesses.

It's also not good for our image because we deal with HNIs.

So, because Tracy doesn't have documentation signed by umahi doesn't mean the transaction never took place.

That's why he parted with 70k dollars to quench the matter.
