MY FIRST TIME EVER…
I am almost 15 years on Twitter and this is going to be my FIRST, but I am doing this by faith so it may be a long read…
I am Arc Ernest Edoka Adikwu, started from a humble background and managed to complete my masters degree in Architecture from ABU, Zaria. I am now a practicing (building architect), over 40 years old and over 10 years married and counting to Dr. Mrs Adikwu (her handle on my profile though not active) and we are blessed with children (see pictures attached).
I run two companies for my day-to-day business (SHECHEM HABITAT and HOUSE MECHANIC) and also an NGO (THE ONE HABITAT) for my philanthropic work (I enjoy helping people) with all handles/profiles in my bio.
I began doing giveaways a couple of years ago because of my passion to help people and by the grace of God, we have shared way over 7 million across my followers, churches, mosques, single moms, widows, students (paid school fees), new phones, paid rent, cleared loan app debts and a host of many other acts of philanthropy by the grace of God. The last 1 million we shared 10k for 100 was some months ago.
I usually get building construction contracts from clients and I usually execute them and make profits out of which a part of my earnings comes back to assist people in my own little way but something happened to me in 2023 but guys, I am in a mess and I need your help...
See the award letter in the picture below, I was awarded in September 2022 and I signed an agreement to NO VARIATIONS (no cost changes) on the contract but guys, because of how massive the job was, hike in prices of materials especially cement from September 2022 until I finished the project was over 100% increase amongst all other items of work but because I had SIGNED, I had to deliver thereby making me take items on credit and owing most of my workers to help me finish the job. I did work on credit because I had hope on a job that was 3 times bigger than this that was supposed to be awarded to me by the same organization that same year but my village people struck, I didn’t get the job!
Yes I finished the initial job but total loss or credit accrued exceeded 40 million. Small me like this, where will I get 40 million to pay? Guys, from July/August 2023 when we finished the project till date, I have been in an out of depression, police stations, courts, DSS office and what not from the numerous people who supplied me cement, doors, POP materials, toilet accessories (water closets, wash hand basins etc) and what not and I have gone EVERYWHERE I feel possible to raise money, taken loans (even from loan apps see attached) from microfinance banks, friends and family etc but my debts are currently at 33,350,000 (I have paid almost 7 million).
I have come here to BEG my followers, if 33,350 out of all my followers can give at least 1000 each or 66,700 out of all my followers can give at least 500 each my debts are 100% gone!!! Can you guys help me run this to rescue me and my family from shame?

First bank
(because I have never done this before, I don’t have a go-fund-me or any other online payment channel but I would appreciate any form of assistance)
Things have really been rough, I don’t want to mention school fees and how my car is in such bad shape or how my wife has been feeding and supporting the family through these difficult times? See it is just God that sent such a blessing to me as a wife that she is not a liability but an asset in these times. God knows, when this is over, I will surprise her so help me God.
Any thing you send, no matter how little is truly appreciated.
In fact, some of the people I borrowed from are here on the TL reading this and in case you want to call and verify for proof, here are some people who supplied me items on the contract that I am owing, you can call and verify
Ike (tiles) 08132609440
Aniete (electrical) 08098590500
Steven (plumbing items) 07037771280
Chuks (paints) 08036914851
Chucks (armored cable) 08034507109
These are just few out of over 20 people I am owing and battling with daily and I cannot remember when last I can boast of having PEACEFUL SLEEP.
I pray God uses your kind hearts to rescue me from this bondage.

The next protest is about Buhari himself - we must force him to resign from office for the good of the Nigerian people.
If enough members of the Nigerian population decide to grind the economy to a halt until Buhari steps out of Aso Rock, it will happen.

I am seriously joining my voice to the calls for Buhari's resignation or impeachment. He has no business running the executive affairs of any country, and certainly not that of the most populous black nation in the world. #Buharimustgo
