Meringe:
As I have advised, go back to the drawing board and find out how your business went back. it's not just about settling the pending issues, it's about standing up and and correcting your mistakes.
None is above mistake but how you handle your mistakes either mar or make you.

I wish good luck as you navigate through the trying times.

Yes sir, you are right. And he has done well in this effect. I'm really expecting something bigger and better as soon as the whole problems is over. What is happening to Ademola is relative to what happened to Nairaland and lindaikeji blog. When they both got shut down. Those are serious setbacks that can destroy business, but seun handled his well by being open and admitting his mistakes on behalf of the whole nairaland team. That's why things didn't go sour and nairaland is waxing stronger. He should have been open with his clients from day one. He'd be surprised that not everybody would want his head on a chopping block

His problem wasn't his trying to do it all by himself, it was pure greed. There isn't no more to it.

Again, @OP, stop trying to play on the emotions of people. What are you asking for? Pity? You nearly got it with me until I started seeing some arrogance in your so called confession-talking 'bout "abuse me all you want...delivered to people without complications before..." bla bla bla. Do you know what TRUE remorse is, it is apologizing for mistakes without recourse to a SINGLE REASON why you did what you did. When you try to justify why you erred, it is no longer any apology, it then becomes an explanation...which in your case is absurd.

Folks may call me out on my stand, but, I'm telling it like it is. Again, like someone observed, did you have to wait for the men in uniforms to start hounding you before coming out with your apologies? I don't want to be vindictive as I'd no transaction with you, but someone has to stand on the side of right. I'll stop here as if I begin dissecting your so-called apology, I'll tear it to smithereens and make you look like an arse, so, I'll stay my hand. Be warned, let this be a lesson to you about not only business but proper human conduct. You were fortunate you didn't do business with me as I don't deploy uniformed personnel, ever heard of "Denizens from Hell". I'll leave it at that.

For folks he's in bad blood with, I ask you extend mercy to the man so he can have some rest (things like this can drive a man to his death and you don't want that on your conscience. Yes, I know it can be VERY PAINFUL when someone takes you for a ride, but before you pull out the big gunz take a step back and think if it's all worth it).

calculation:
So this man can be like this. Unbelievable. My advice to nairalander is not to be lure into dubious deal with Ademola because this is one of his lie with code name "business strategy ". Let him settle his issues with lesson then start to build his business then may be he will learn.

[b]I helped Mr Ademola shipped a container with a 2013 BMW X3,1999 Camry,1999 Accord and a 2002 Camry .
Vehicles were picked up all around the USA and as far as California for the BMW and Texas for a Camry.
The said container arrived since July 16th and attracting demurage/rent daily.
Trucking and shipping due for this container was $7,130 and wire transfer charge stood at $100 and Mr Ademola only recently remitted N500,000($2,950) and left with a balance of $4,280 yet to be paid.(NO SHIPPER SHIPS A CONTAINER WITHOUT PAYMENT BUT I HAD THIS DONE COS I SAW MR ADEMOLA AS A RESPECTABLE NAIRALANDER AS I HAVE TRANSACTED WITH HIM MANY A TIME BEFORE).
I call Mr Ademola on a regularly basis telling him the non payment of this shipping due is straining my relationship with my shipper and that it would be best to at least pay off the shipping due so he can at least be free on that font and solely focus on clearing the container and at the same time allow me mend the strained relationship with my shippers.
I sent a reminder text message to Mr Ademola on Friday telling him that Maersk Line the shipper of the container has Changed the consignee/Blocked the previous name for the container thus emphasizing the need to pay off and get the Bill of lading for it in hand but Mr Ademola's response surprised me .
In his word "I dont know how you people are mean?"."Keep in mind that any error with my container will lead to what i will not tell you and i will bet it with my life","Dont underestimate an angry man" etc .
I would like to use this medium to beg Nairalanders to plead with Mr Ademola to kindly remit the balance of shipping this new week so i can remit to Maersk line and they can release a BOL to him thus end my working relationship with him .

Thanks [/b]

noblealuu:


Please sir, are you a lawyer? I like your diction.

chronique:
Wow! Feels sad reading this but let me refresh your memory about what I warned you about when you started out with your very first thread. I particularly warned you about destroying other people's businesses to gain clients. I remember how you came up with spurious claims that most car dealers were making millions off clients(on a single car) and cheating them and how you had to open that thread to expose them and help buyers. Some of the things you said then,weren't true but I didn't want to look like an antagonist on your thread. I remember a client on NL arguing with me about price of a particular vehicle,and how she had gotten it cheaper on your thread;I simply asked her to go ahead and do biz with you. I also remember some NLers attacking one or two people who tried to point out some of the wrong claims you were making... It's a shame that with all the clients you were getting,things turned out this bad. Those who you accused of ripping people off,still have their businesses up and running while you,the "one who wanted to help" are struggling with bankrupcy as you've made us to understand. What's the reason for all these? You built a foundation on lies and the bad thing about a lie is that,you have to keep lying to sustain the first one told. One of the many pitfalls in business is,over-promising and under-delivering which a lot of people do,just to win clients. I thinl this is an area where you probably failed. If you understand what a solid reputation meant,you wouldn't have allowed too many of such deals to occur before taking swift steps to clear things up. It is not every client that somes your way,that you must collect money from(most especially when you know the amount being offered can't sort things out). When you accept such orders,you automatically become a glutton,and would be setting yourself up for failure. I percieve your business model,was robbing peter to pay paul(using one client's money to sort out another with the hope that another client would come and you'd use his own to sort out the other client. Such methods only leads to a cobweb of debts. I have a friend who does business this way and up till now,He's still in debts. I am in no way celebrating your fall cos it wouldn't add a dime to my pocket. I actually do feel for you and many other dealers cos,with the amount of views you had on your threads and what has happened so far,I'm sure a lot of potential clients would be wary of doing business with dealers online(seing that the popular ones who they thought were credible,are having scandals trail them). I hope you've learnt your lessons and I also hope others are learning.

Little gotten in absolute peace and tranquility,refreshes the soul. I really wish you a quick recovery.

My good Sir, no, I'm not a lawyer. And thanks for the compliment. Really appreciate it. It just pains me when certain people abuse the trust that has been reposed on them.

noblealuu:


You are welcome. I hope he learns his lessons deeply and not by mere superfluity of rants.

Now Op, honesty and transparency pay! I dnt consider 'lieing' as 'packaging' in biz. I pray u speedily get over your present predicament and join thousands of other well-meaning Nigerians out there to make our country great!

Caveatemptor:
Just a warning to anyone aiming to transact business with this Ademola guy.
A container that arrived the ports since July.(four months ago) is already over time cargo and liable to confiscation and seizure by the customs.
Please read up on OVER TIME CARGO in the ports. Goggle it. Dont be another statistic on the list of this Ademola characters victims list.
Caveat emptor.
