Meritchoice Connived With GCA To Swindle Over 100m For American Caregivers Jobs by yandevboy: 10:32am On May 31, 2018
I have been into internet marketing and money making opportunities for over 5 years, one company i have come to know in the Internet marketing space in Nigeria is called MeritChoice Limited owned by Gbeminiyi Oluwabusola with office at Atinuke Plaza, Okota Road by Cele Bus Stop, Lagos State.



I have been on MeritChoice email marketing list for over 2 years now and regularly receive emails from them.



On the 5th of January 2018, while working on my laptop, one particular email came in that caught my eyes, it talked about a partnership meritchoice has gone into with GHALP CAREGIVERS ACADEMY (GCA) to train and take 2800 caregivers to USA to start working immediately in the month of April 2018.


I have seen many such travel opportunity adverts and posts all over the Internet but never take a second look at them but coming from MeritChoice, i felt they had reputation and wont be involved in anything shoddy so i took more interest.


I put a call across to MeritChoice the following day and spoke with their Staff who assured me the opportunity was real as they couldn't promote any scam project. They told me about their planned upcoming enlightenment seminars lined up for cities across Nigeria (LAGOS, IBADAN, BENIN CITY, PORT HARCOURT, ABUJA, ILORIN, KADUNA AND ONITSHA)


It sounded interesting, they sent me a website link at www.ghalpcaregiversacademy.us to visit and download the comprehensive guide which will give me all the details i need to know if i want to get trained, certified and be in USA by April 2018 to start working as a caregiver.



MeritChoice also encouraged me to go online and search about caregiver job opportunities around the world and USA in particular as we were in a digital world


I searched online and discovered caregiving was quite a lucrative career path especially when you begin to take into cognizance exchange rate as a Nigeria.



MeritChoice put their publicity and recruitment efforts on overdrive in a bid to recruit the so called required number of 2800 caregivers wanted by April 2018.



Before you will know it seminars were holding everywhere and payments started coming in..



Sit back and hear the story of how Gbeminiyi Oluwabusola of MeritChoice Limited connive with David Olalekan of Ghalp Caregivers Academy to swindle innocent Nigerians of close to 200 million naira in the most recent scam to be bursted in this Country.



As i type the case is ongoing at Alagbon.

On the 8th of January, 2018, the full gist came in proper from MeritChoice led by Gbeminiyi Oluwabusola


He spoke so eloquently of what it means to be a caregiver especially in a country like USA



He talked about how GCA has secured a franchise with AMERICAN CAREGIVERS ASSOCIATION to train and certify Nigerians on caregiving


He also talked about how GCA has secured a contract with reputable recruiters in the USA who wanted 2800 caregivers for immediate employment by April 2018



He said the US recruiters wer going to provide VISA processing fees, flight fares and accommodation which the costs will be deducted over time as the caregivers work in the US



All what interested persons needed to do was to get trained by GCA and certified by American Caregivers Association and the rest will be handled by GCA


It will be a group appearance at the US embassy for Visa



Visa to be granted will be H1B which carry a work permit and many privileges



He went to great extent to convince many people who had trusted him through the years that this opportunity is for real



As a matter of fact, Gbeminiyi said this opportunity was as real as death




Many started paying and money was rolling in



Monies were been paid into MeritChoice Bank Accounts with GTB and also GCA Bank Accounts with Zenith and FCMB



THE caregiver courses on offer were the NCCC National Caregiver Certification Course

and the NAMCC NATIONAL ASSISTED LIVING MANAGER CERTIFICATION COURSE

Re: Meritchoice Connived With GCA To Swindle Over 100m For American Caregivers Jobs by yandevboy: 10:59am On May 31, 2018
On hearing on an organization such as the American Caregivers Association ACA



Most of us wrote to ACA to confirm if they had given a franchise to GCA to train and certify caregivers in Nigeria in their name



The replies were in the affirmative, ACA confirmed that GCA were working together with them, the interest of people spiked in the program



MeritChoice started moving from city to city mobilizing people to take up this opportunity



They were charging 5000 naira for application forms and 80,000 naira for the NCCC Certification. meanwhile this same certification is offered for $79 on the ACA website


They were also charging 70,000 naira for the NALMCC Certification but those who were interested in taking both certification could pay 130,000 naira



MeritChoice let students know that those who take the managers course stand a better chance to earn more once they get to the US





The issue of this program might be a scam was ever present on the lips of many who came for their enlightenment seminars across the Country. Gbeminiyi and Olalekan went to great extent to convince students that this was not a scam



Thousands of mails were been sent to ACA to confirm their partnership with GCA, their affirmative replies always soften peoples stance




For the sake of first time international travellers, MeritChoice and GCA came up with a plan to take all trained persons to a so called visit to a UN Caregiver Facilty in Ghana for first hand practical on what it means to work in an assisted living home and also to disvirgin the International Passports of those who have never travelled Internationally before



Everything seems interesting and nice, i will be narrating and sharing pictures of the horror that trip to Ghana turned out to be ahead

SEMINARS WERE BEEN HELD ACROSS DIFFERENT NIGERIAN CITIES TO RECRUIT PEOPLE


into the caregiver opportunity



many tried to question why everything was happening so fast



but MeritChoice and GCA said this was a crash program and the US recruiters needed the 2800 caregivers urgently to fill vacant positions by April 2018.



In these hard times and in a bid to seize this opportunity, many went to sell their valuables while others took loans at exorbitant interest rates with the hope that once they land US, they will offset them all

Why will a man lead his followers that trusted him into a program he knew every well was scam for the sake of money.


Now the chicken has come home to roost...


Gbeminiyi is now singing like a parrot....he was picked up by Alagbon Police last week and has been released on bail with instruction to report daily.



He confessed in his statement that just his MeritChoice accounts collected payments of almost 100 million naira not to talk of the monies that were paid straight into GCA ACCOUNTS with Zenith and FCMB.



He introduced David Olalekan to the students as DR. DAVID OLALEKAN and President of GCA



Now that the bubble has burst, it has been uncovered that the David is not a DR but if he is anything close to that



He is a herbalist and he revealed he belongs to the association of traditional medicine practitioners of Nigeria




Come and see how much respect this smallish man was commanding as per Dr.

HERBALIST DR. DAVID OLALEKAN


President of Ghalp Caregivers Academy at some of the training camps



The affiliation with American Caregivers Academy which was confirmed by many of us is what led us to fall mugu



The angle we couldnt confirm and gave benefit of doubt was the part of securing contract with US recruiters to bring 2800 caregivers to US by April 2018.



We were told the recruiters will send our names to Homeland Security who will facilitate the issuance of H1B VISAS

FAILED GHANA TRIP


Another dangerous dimension that put peoples lives at great risk was the trip to Ghana at a UN CARE FACILITY we have come to know doesnt exist any where in Accra


This trip was to enable students gain practical caregiver experience and also disvirgin the passports of those who have never travelled internationally.




Many went through great pain to pay huge amounts of monies to obtain International passport at short notice



All the logistics for Ghana trip were handled by MeritChoice and they did a very shoddy job of it



While we were promised to travel in Air Conditioned buses after each person paid 55,000 each



We did travel in Orile to Mile 2 coaster buses without AC


It was such a horror



From Nigeria to Ghana took 2 days

FAILED GHANA TRIP


While students were struggling to pay 55,000 naira for Ghana trip, Gbeminiyi of MeritChoice came up with an idea that for the trip to be smooth and easy for everyone.


They have decided to engage the services of a professional caterers who goes on International tours with people across WEST AFRICA to cook for us on wheels



This was because no restaurant may be able to cater to over 700 people without prior notice and also to prevent people from eating foods that may cause food poisoning since we were going to a foreign land.



Everyone was expected to pay an extra 10,000 to have full feeding covered from the day of departure to Ghana and back.



That took the total amount for Ghana trip to 65,000 naira per person



MY OH MY....DID HE DELIVER



I dont want to exaggerate things but on the day of departure, while we were all expecting to see a professional kitchen on wheels



They loaded bread and water inside one Orile to Mile 2 coaster bus



No one was served any reasonable food but people decided not to protest because we were all thinking of America



White rice was served with a tiny piece of meat when we were promised everyone will eat to satisfaction and also have in between snacks like peanuts and pop corn



Semo was served on day 2 and before you know it



They complained they was no more meat...Infact i have never seen adults treated like prisoners



Many who had cash on them opted to buying foods while those who had paid 10k and were expecting food starved on the whole trip.



It was sooooo terribe but the lure of America made people take all the shabby treatment without revolt in the face of obvious cheating and in human treatment.

Early this year, precisely, February 2018 we called to inform American Caregivers Academy that we saw an advert online from Ghalp for care-giving certification in the USA and job placements and they gave us the assurance that we can go ahead. We even asked if we could take the course on our own, and their representative said since there's an accredited body in Nigeria that we should do it with them. With this new discovery that it was authentic, we got involved. The training involved a lot of travels and some of us had to resign our jobs to take part. One of the training was to be in a UN Facility in Ghana, and he made us sleep on the road for four days but we were denied entry into Ghana by immigration officers. Thereafter we discovered that there was no UN Facility in Ghana but he told us it was used to test out perseverance. The recent developments brought a rude shock to the entire 800 students that was involved. It was discovered that he was not a medical doctor as he claimed, but a herbalist. The ACA website was cloned, and there were no job placements in the US. A lot of lives have been disrupted. Most people have lost all their money, and means of livelihood. We have reported to the Police, but we believe justice will not be served to him if money changes hands. Nigerians please help us spread the news about this scam so that they do not go unpunished. The scammers are Herbalist David Olalekan, Elizabeth Adedayo, Matron Eyitayo Brown, and Gbeminiyi Oluwabusola, and a host of others.

Some students reported this scam to General Investigation in Alagbon

Last week Tuesday 22nd May, David Olalekan was arrested in a meeting he was holding with his students who wanted to travel with their children. He was using emotional intelligence on this group of students because they have already paid for their children since March and that USA will start a new session in August, so the children must travel latest 2nd week in July IF ONLY, they can *Self Sponsor* theirselves

He was taken to Alagbon who did a shoddy job of interrogating him and released him on Thursday. David was suppose to report daily but he hasn't shown up this week at all

We fear that, General Investigation Alagbon FCIID has been compromised

GHALP students are more than 800 and we are in great pains and agony of deceit

We need justice
We need justice
David Olalekan must refund all our money back
