"One day you'll tell us what Davido did to you"
See am here.
When privileged people weaponise their influence to steal from the ones that don't even have - that's unforgivable.
This was the 4th scam in 3 years.
Today, a scammer is rattled by fellow scammers.
❤️🩹🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “Dad, you kept asking me to play in one last World Cup… just days before it began was when your condition got worse”.
“It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at tournament… but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel”.
“I kept telling you we were going to reach the World Cup final so you could make the trip, this was my mission once again”.
“After every match, I waited for and missed your message. That’s when I realized how serious the situation really was”.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about going as far as possible, give you more time and the chance to watch one of the games”.
“We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it so I could bring the trophy to you and show you another one. I couldn’t”.
“My legs just couldn’t give me any more”.
“This time I tried to push beyond what my body could handle, but I couldn’t”.
“I never managed to feel physically right”.
“We didn’t become champions Dad, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play in it… as you told me, always”.
morocco got a penalty, but yasmin mrabet missed the first pen & then the ref had to check again & turned out that the senegalese goalie had went off her line & the pen had to be retaken & then mrabet had decided to retake it, but she had missed it again 😦
I needed to move a sofa.
I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"
I did not know anybody with a truck.
He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.
"You gotta know somebody with a truck."
I asked how one acquires such a person.
He said, "You just do."
This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.
He said, "Ask Kevin."
I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.
I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.
Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.
I had not asked for a second man.
The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.
They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.
I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.
I asked what I owed them.
Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."
That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.
Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.
We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.
Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."
I still think about that.
Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.
"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."
He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.
Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.
I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.
Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.
I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."
I have a guy.
I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.
He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."
I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.
When you hear about things happening in Nigeria, you’d be shocked.
A woman gave birth to twins at the hospital & the doctor informed her that one of them didn’t make it out alive.
She asked to see the baby still, but the doctor said baby is not in good shape, & they can’t show her because she just gave birth and it’s the hospital’s policy.
Fast Forward, she found the supposed late baby with the doctor’s wife during immunisation classes months later.
She checked and the baby looked exactly like her baby. She confronted the doctor later on and he wanted to return the baby but the wife refused. He had to stay on his wife’s side.
The mother of the twins went to the police to report, but instead, she was the one locked up alongside her husband because the doctor and his wife knew people in the police that were in high positions.
She asked for DNA and they said the police came back to say they can’t do any DNA till the child is 8 years old. She refused. The police then threatened her that if she keeps causing problems,they’ll put her in prison till the child is 8. In face, they made her sign an undertaking that she’ll not bother the doctor and his family.
Many years later, the child is grown now, from the video I watched, the boy should be 8 years old (not sure). She is taking up the case again, but this doctor and his wife are refusing to do DNA. They transferred the case to Command in Abuja, the police can see the resemblance clearly, but this doctor took the case to FCID, which is bigger than Command.
This woman has lost hope in the system and has now gone to VeryDarkMan, who is gonna take up the case now. How do you steal someone’s child as a medical practitioner?
Hello @afcbournemouth
I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria.
I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.
I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.
My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn
Thanks,
Olaogun
