The first time I suspected it to be a scam was when the spearheads started showing religiosity. Knowing fully well that Nigerians are gullible the moment you put religion in anything, I felt these guys were dupes. And that Elomama name sounds dodgy as f**k.

Good day ladies and gentlemen, friends and enemies on this platform

Hope we have not overgrown our dancing shoes? You might need to buy a new pair if you have because the wait is still long .

Anyway, as we keep waiting, let us examine the case of Mr. X, a typical Theobarth die-hard subscriber.


Mr. X is a middle-class civil servant who earns about N56k monthly (having worked with the state government for about 10 years). He is married with 3 children; a typical Nigerian middle-class civil servant.

He heard about Theobarth grant from his church, and, coming from a trusted man of God, he had no reason to doubt the veracity of the news. To him, God had decided to lift him and his family out of penury.

He contemplated and studied the grant for some days, for he was naturally a very cautious fellow. He made wide consultation among those at the helm of affairs with regards to the grant and got the conviction he needed. Theobarth was said to be real and would disburse the following month. He was told that there was no limit to the number of clusters he could register: Theobarth had enough money to accommodate everyone who could sponsor a cluster.

He had some money in his savings account, so he decided to pull some out to invest in this life-changing venture. As His NIgerian sense kicked in, and he began to strategize on how to make the best out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

First, he opened 5 different accounts in different banks for himself and all the members of his family. He called an extended family meeting and shared his newly discovered gold mine with them. He then urged each of them to open 5 different accounts in any Nigerian bank of their choice and forward the account numbers to him. Poverty had to be eliminated from their family root once and for all.

At work, he informed his friends and colleagues of the development and requested that they submit their names and account details, and those of their immediate and extended family members as well, that something great was coming their way. He, however, informed them that they would not need to pay any money at that point for the registration, but would need to part with a certain percentage of the grant when it comes.

Eventually, the list of names got up to 1000 which was needed to form a cluster. Mr. X then decided to sponsor each member of his family as a cluster owner. In order to achieve this without it raising any dust, he chose 5 different NGOs, reshuffled the list he had, and registered under them, each one having a member of his family as the cluster owner, and containing the same list he generated.

Let us stop here and examine a few things from the scenario that played out above:

Let us allow ourselves to be deluded for some seconds and assume that the grant is actually real and that Theobarth would disburse as he made his subscribers believe.

1. Without having any access to either the NIMC or CBN database (by using NIN or BVN) there is no other way of detecting a double entry, hence, Mr. X and his family members (including the underaged or even the deceased) would bag N100 million naira into 5 places as cluster owners, and 1.8 Million naira into 20 places as subscribers.

2. Mr. X would still go ahead and shortchange those registered under him by deducting their money based on the agreement they had.. After all, N2B would be transferred to his account to disburse to his cluster.

As unrealistic as the situation above is, that is what many Nigerians have been brainwashed to believe would happen. Many have spent a lot of money on grants and have spent a lot of productive hours praying and hoping that something that is clearly a scam would become real.


They attack and curse when you try to point out the obvious scam in the whole setup. They are too blind to see beyond the charade those men put up in the name of religion, and keep hoping for something that would never come.

Enough yarn for today

Let me go back to minding my business

Wonderful piece!

Another one is out. Supreme Grant. The funny thing is people are rushing it seriously.

Computer Village is my second home, I go to computer village every week to buy phones, repair phones, buy memory cards and other phone accessories. Tecno has taken over in terms of publicity ; on every single street in Computer Village is a Tecno sign or board on the front of a store. Every where you go is Tecno, Tecno and more Tecno. I have been going to computer village since 2005 and I have never seen any phone company paint the place in their colours, even when Nokia was King it was never like this. Every Where is a Tecno, InfiniX or Itel Bill Board. A lot of shops have advertising for the Tecno Canon 17. Xiaomi are the only smartphone company beside Transsion ( Tecno, InfiniX , Itel ) that is advertising but it's very small compared to what Tecno is doing, it's one Xiaomi Signboard to 50 Tecno Signboards. It would have been better if Tecno had taken out the time to actually improve their phones., A friend of mine bought a Camon 15 for N78,000 last year and I found the camera to be highly disappointing, I could buy a Tecno for N35,000 with a better camera. All that is for another day , today I'm talking of how Tecno has dominated with advertising.
The pictures say a million words. Enjoy

So painful, I would have loved teachlead didn't deactivate his account to come and spit his tantrums again and curse the admin for changing his thread title.

Who are those who were joining teachlead to abuse and curse us?

No Free money anywhere.

If you need grant, be on the lookout for Elumelu grant next time it opens and apply.

For loan; you can always apply for Agmeisis while you wait for the next time NYIF loan is open.

Go for real loan/grant and stop wasting money on Facebook and telegram grants.

Theobarth is a scam
TELPECON is a scam
Golden Bridge is a scam
Oseea is a scam
SEM is a scam

Desist from all this "drop your acct details and pay Bleep amount for processing" kinda grant/loan.

Sirjudy1:
The telegram page. Seems it's their new fertile ground for recruiting gullible people

Sirjudy1:
I really need to get into that page.

Melancholy:
Good morning to you all. Las las l agree sey dem don scam me. My eyes don clear o. Thank God sey na my money l use do am. I don even forget this page teytey. Bye!

Sirjudy1:
Hilarious.

I feel for that man; he his ilk had so much faith in Theobarth grant. Its a good thing he didn't collect money from the people he registered (if his claims are right).

Next to follow in his footsteps is that Fredric guy that jumped in and started insulting everyone. I didnt bother replying him, we have seen his likes before. Shebi on the other thread when TELPECON was dribbling their own people one guy jumped in to tell us that he was in the university studying grants. He must have graduated by now, and probably working somewhere with an old Pentium II laptop, compiling names on Microsoft Excel for some phantom grants from some faceless donor agencies


P.S: There is a new update from Apostle Theo that should keep his people quiet and hopeful for the next few weeks

peeps4u:
He has deleted his account, but I'm sure he's reading this with another acct

pek:
Why calling them beneficiaries? It doesn't apply here cause they haven't benefited anything but they have been contributing.
