tym92: Please, shed more light on this so that people will be guided. Explain more, let's know what transpired between you guys.
Well to cut the long story short, after stumbling on his thread, i contacted via email, and enquired about investment opportunities in Abidjan since he claimed to reside there. He then offered to show me and facilitate some business/investment we talked about.
I proposed a date of arrival, but he said he wont be available then because he'll be coming to Nigeria to bury his late Dad. We agreed another travel date, as well as other logistics. Thankfully, I made hotel reservations myself. I was simply to contact him on arrival. Mind you I don't speak French, so he was to help me on arrival. Well, I travelled to Abidjan, and from the moment I arrived, I kept call and messaging him for 3 days without response, only for the crook to chat me on the night of day 3, saying he had to make a quick dash to Abuja in Nigeria. Meanwhile we chatted just the night before my departure(less than 10hours before departure)
Thank God, I wasn't too stupid to put all my eggs in one basket, I would have been messed up big time in a country where I could neither understand nor speak thier language. If he comes here and denies my post, then I'll post our chats and possibly his own voice chats.
The guy is dangerous. I was skeptical at first when I observed some strange patterns in the way messages deliver to his WhatsApp, but when I eventually started conversing with him over voice, I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
Well, I'm sure he realised I was to smart for his con, and so he went silent on me. People like him make it difficult to trust Nigerians. I never knew someone could be so cold hearted.
So there is your explanation. Anyone dealing with him is dealing with a conman.
Donfanuchi1: Greetings to you. I hope your endeavours is paying well. For those that know how to cook, restaurant business is very profitable. Apart from the initial investment in shop, materials and foodstuffs the financial outlay is okay. With 700k to 3 million you are good to go. Profitability is encouraging. The business is a blast from day one. The caveat is your ability to cook tasty dishes. Have a wonderful week!
Guys this guy is a scam. Don't contact him for anything about Abidjan. He does not reside in Abidjan. He's not who he says he is. It will be unfair if I do not put out this warning after what he made me go through.
keystone123: Only good for tourist visit. Dont go there for business, they may not approve your business plan and you must set up before approval and immigration will visit and rate your business. They are all looking for white to invest. Try uganda, you will not regret it.
Although, rwandans are friendly, their weather is nice very mountainous, if you like coffee you will enjoy the place, very clean and organised other side is, you must be careful most Rwandans are spy which l dont blame them because they dont want another war, every junction you go you will find police, is a police state, water is expensive, rain is scarce, house rent are very expensive.
If you, still like the place go for school route not business, this will help you alot to study the place while schooling, if you can cope yiu settle after your course. Dont go for short course or training, go for regular program. Like degress, master, phd that is cool, east african university, uni Rwanda etc. I just want to let people know what you about rwanda to avoid waste of time and resource. Many are on this thread that know the fact but difficult to say or tell the truth. Then be careful for fellow Nigerian, so cannot help they will spoil your plan, stay clear, look for other National like ugandan, zambian as your friend. Not all are bad but be vigilant.
It is not all about beauty of a country but is all about how you can live there and survive. The country take rwandan first, I dont blame them it is normal. Many rwandan are equally looking for job so remove getting job over from your mind. My advise to people considering rwanda to migrate to. Sorry topographic error is there is any, l am feeling sleepy but just want to assist someone by answering most questions.
God bless us.
You're a really nice guy. Everything you said is 100 hundred percent true.
God bless you for warning those who have ears to hear.
I may not be counted. And my reason is simple; the outcome will always be manipulated to favour some states and regions. I don't believe Nigeria's population figures, never have. How can over 200 million people cast less than 20 million votes in an election where the turnout was massive. Yet they claim there're close to 100 mollion registered voters. Look at other countries with similar numbers and see what they churn out during their own elections.
Why the hurry about conducting this census in the first place, at a time when the country is in turmoil?
If we really want to know our real number, we don't need a census in this modern world. The so-called national identity card combined with the many other identity systems we have is more than enough, and far more accurate and adequate. They know this, but because their goal is not accurate population figures, they insist on wasting tax payers money in a jengen exercise.
By the way who really is a Nigerian now?. The last elections, if for anything has shown us that we belong to different nations. If you are not allowed to vote outside your region or state of origin, how are you a Nigerian? If you can be called an immigrant by a REC in your own "country", how are you a Nigerian?
If the government decides to proceed with this exercise, I'll neither be shocked nor surprised, rather, it will simply be further proof of how deeply authority in Nigeria has sank into the abyss of agbayarism.

Hello Don,
I'll like to thank you for this beautiful thread and the generous information you've been sharing about Abidjan. It's been a while though since you last posted. Hope all is well with you. I'll be sending you a mail shortly. Kindly attend to it please. Meanwhile, my interest is in the area of investment opportunities, such as in agriculture you shared here sometime last year. Hopefully we can talk some more once you respond to my post here or the email.
Please other friends who live in Abidjan can contribute.
Tinubuwins2023e: I swear with my life that I want igbos to have biafra. I am not happy been in a country with you guys. You guys are tarnishing the image of this country. Make everyone go answer him papa name
Amennnnnnnnnnnn. I think I'm persuaded to believe you.
Tinubuwins2023e: I will be the happiest person in this life if igbos can be granted Biafra. It's a shame that I share thesame country name with this group of people
I say a big Amen to your statement. But I sense you're afraid of this your wish coming to pass, because you can't quite imagine nigeria without Igbo. Funny enough, Igbos are the only group in nigeria very upbeat about thier future without nigeria.
hmohammed: I took my time to go through the INEC portal and I can confirm to you that LP is officially losing those 2 states. I am so happy. I dislike Obi so much
Going by your name, it's no surprise you dislike obi. Your region is allergic to anything good. I ashamed sharing a country's name with you.
Please suggest cheap family holiday destinations around the world you know. If its your line of business, your seevices could be engaged if your price is right.
Toluwanise247: God bless the president elect God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu God bless our dear nation Nigeria God bless Nigerians God bless APC supporters God bless everyone that voted APC God bless me God bless you God bless nairaland users Always remember obi is a boy
Wike just open Tinubu nyash like fowl. Na him and lagos touts spoil Tinubu rigging architecture. They probably would have stolen it without much suspicion.
Oloogunebi3: My fellow Nigerians, especially the youths. Please for the sake of our collective peaceful existence, let us give peace a chance in this country. As youths, with vibrant energy and youthful tendencies, please don't let us allow ourselves to be used to scuttle our future and the peaceful existence of the only country on the whole planet earth we can lay claims to as ours. Most of these politicians we are routing for have most if not all their families and processions based outside this country. And in the eventuality of any breakdown of law and order, they will take the next available flight and leave us to our fate. The questions arising from all these are; 1. Are these politicians/people worth dying for? 2. Is there anything we stand to gain individually that is worth sacrificing our peaceful existence for. 3. Is there any substitute for peace in our country. 4. Are we ready to experience the unpalatable happenings in Ukraine or turn our God given country to another Syria, Yemen or Afghanistan? (God forbid) Fellow NAIRALANDERS please let us turn ourselves to peace volunteers and agents of positive change and exert our influences to maintain law and order in our immediate environment. God be with us all. Long live the federal republic of Nigeria.
No Justice No Peace. To hell with your graveyard peace.
Nothing good has ever been achieved through the kind of peace you're calling for. In fact your kind of peace is the reason africa is where it is.
Thunder fire that peace
If I die, let it be known that I died fighting for what I stand for, not for any politician. You're a clearly an agent of the robbers who have been tasked with window dressing the robbery.
Janosky: Eli was removed from the Priesthood. Saul was removed from kingship. Judas Iscariot was removed from discipleship. So, what's the big deal about Anthony Morris removal from the Governing Body?
Carry him matter for your head like gala nau
Morris has been one of just 8 men deciding the day to day, moment to moment life of 8 million plus Jehovah's witnesses without a inch of space for independent thinking, otherwise you are immediately shown the exit door. Morris and 7 others have decided for Jehovah's witnesses the interpretation of every scripture and its application, they've decided who Jw's marry or don't marry, what medical treatment to accept or reject, what level of education every witness child should receive or not receive, what kind of job to do or not do, etc. If a man who has controlled the lives of millions of human being for decades like Morris has done is suddenly found wanting, every right thinking person wants to know if it ever made sense to have surrendered his or her life completely to the dictates of such a man and his colleagues in the first place, a mere human being who derives his power from merely claiming to be God's anointed - a claim any body or group can make and back up using any prophecy that suits them.
I know from experience now that the most difficult responsibility a human being can bestow on himself is the responsibility of deciding for himself how to live life. No wonder religion and religious readers are taking full advantage. But I tell you what, nothing beats being responsible for yourself. But only a few, are and will be courageous to do so, which is very laughable but pretty interesting too.
oteneaaron: I won't call it "activism" per se, but I regularly call out their BS here on Nairaland and Facebook.
I've been out for roughly 3 years now too.
Good to know you're in Abj, hopefully we'll get to meet up in the nearest future.
It's nice to meet you man.
Wow... lovely!!!
You'll most likely know me because I rose through the ranks and was fairly well known by many in Abuja.
Feel free to dm me. I faded, so those who know just think I'm inactive and that's fine by me. How about you; did you fade or disassociate? And how spiriholy were you before your exit?
MaxInDHouse: That's between the BORN AGAIN Christians it will never be disclosed to anyone who is not one of the 144,000.
I feel you Bro. But there's a community that will soon unearth the facts and put it out there for all lovers of freedom and light to see like you to see.
oteneaaron: There is a lot of speculation as to the reasons for his removal.
These include allegations of alcohol abuse, especially as he had been video-taped ordering a trolley load of alcohol one Sunday morning when congregation meetings would have been in progress - see video below for evidence.
Some believe that he may be implicated in the Pennsylvania Grand Jury investigation into child sexual abuse within Jehovah’s Witnesses.
It’s possible that the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization deleted Morris in an attempt to distance themselves from any implication in this investigation.
Another claim is that he publicly disagreed with another member of the Governing Body in ecclesiastical matters relating to prophecy.
Whether any of these allegations are true remain to be seen.
Don't worry. This is just to forestall break down of law and order during election and when result is announced on Monday. The government can already foresee what the likely reaction from the lagos tugs might be.
