Thereโs this guy in my group who asked for a 2012 RX350. I shared pictures of five cars and also sent the VINs. He asked for the location, and I sent it. Later, he told me he was coming to my office to buy one, so I sent him the address.
A few days later, he texted me saying someone was coming on his behalf ย that it was his client for the car, and told me not to talk to him because they had already agreed on a price of 21M. I said okay, (normal level, I didnโt want to spoil his business)
So the client came with his mechanic to inspect the RX350. Everything pe che cheโฆ While I was in the restroom, I heard someone saying, โIf the car can go for 15.5M, Iโll pay now.โ I peeped through the window and realized it was the same guy.
When I came out, I asked him, โAbeg, is it this RX350 you want to buy, or have you chosen another one?โ He said no, he was still pricing it. I left him and started heading to the gate, but my instincts kicked in. I shouted, โDonโt transfer any money o!โ
Apparently, the guy from my WhatsApp group had already sent him an account number for the so-called 15.5M car.. meanwhile the car was actually 20M. The client had already opened his banking app and was about to transfer the money. I quickly took the phone from him, and he got angry.
It was his mechanic who told me he had been talking to that guy from my group the whole time. The scammer told him I was just his boy and that he had traveled to Kwara for Ileya, so there was no need for him to talk to me. He even told the client he was the boss, which was why he reduced the price to 15.5M.
The client insisted that I only added 20M because I wanted to make 5M profit.โthat Iโm a greedy boy,thatโs how greedy Nigerians areโhe left me and was talking my other colleagues, I told him, โOga, youโre about to get scammed.โ I even showed him my WhatsApp chats with the guy, but the client still didnโt believe me. At that point, I just told him, โOkay, go ahead and lose your 15.5M.โ
It was his mechanic who finally explained everything to him properly in Yoruba before his eyes opened.
Thatโs how I saved him from being scammed.
This kind of thing happens a lot. Someone once came to our office, inspected a car, transferred money to a scammer, then came back asking us for the key ๐คฃ๐คฃ. You want buy sonata foreign used 2011 for 5.5m ๐คฃ๐คฃThe man cried blood that day. I canโt forget the Corolla own ๐ญ
Tomorrow Saturday, 30th May, 2026, is our monthly environmental sanitation exercise across Lagos State and I urge every resident to participate fully from 6.30am to 8.30am. Please stay at home and clean your surroundings. Clear your drains, sweep your frontages, BAG YOUR WASTE, and place it at designated points for LAWMA to evacuate.
This monthly exercise is not a punishment, it is our collective civic duty to protect our environment, prevent flooding, and safeguard public health. The compliance we have witnessed so far has been encouraging but we must keep building the momentum.
Let us come out tomorrow and do the work that keeps our city safe and clean. I thank all Lagosians for their cooperation and I assure you that together we will sustain a #CleanerLagos and a #GreaterLagos.

Covid 19 , I was damn fucking broke. I remember Psquare was doing giveaway on Twitter. I dropped my acc number severally. I wasnโt picked then I noticed a pattern in people he picked. He was legit picking people with the saddest stories โ one said his parents were late and he is the one taking care of his kid sisters โPsquare picked him. I followed the pattern I tweeted my mum was late and my deadbeat dad abandoned me and my sister . I copied and pasted on every comment, I wasnโt picked. Then I asked the guy he picked that lost his parents to share some funds cos I assumed it was large , then he was like โ bro na 5k hin send o โ with screenshot ๐ bro my headloss that day.

KAN U believe it??? Arsenal Forever. The Gunners worked so hard for this. Difficult but they fought.
Very well deserved. Come on you gunners #congratulations@arsenal#arsenal
Iโm not a prophet of doom, but anytime any of my mentee is leaving Nigeria for the first time overseas, I always advise that they do not keep all their eggs in one basket- No such thing as 23kg- Food, other 23kg- Clothes. Itโll be depressing if any of the bags got missing & you canโt retrieve it for weeks, whatโll you be eating/wearing?.
I always prefer itโs split, food & clothes in both.
One day, I was proved right, one of the bags got missing, never retrieved till date, only compensation given, however, the other bag contain a mixture of clothes/foods.
Sad situation but itโs what itโs. How on earth is a JJC expected to navigate the first few weeks in a new country with no clothes.
NB- Till date, I adopt same method too.
