Ex Nigerian Billionaire Goddy Anabor Turn Taxi
Driver,
Explains His Tragic Fall
In fact, in Lagos Sheraton Hotel, I spent 86million
Naira in hosting people from London for one year
and three months. I have the receipts, and you
can go and ask them there. Today, things are
very rough for me and my family; in fact, I don’t
even know what to say anymore. I see my name
in all the newspapers, and I don’t know why.
I trained people like Chris Sogunro, Tokunbo
Sodunke, Dare Babayemi, Wale Awesu, and many
of them like that. I made them what they are,
and today, they are Billionaires. I’m surprised
that they see me in this condition; some of them
say I’m pushing drugs, but they can’t help me
out. I don’t why they are such ingrates. It is only
one man called Mike Biggy who lives somewhere
in Akowonjo that has helped me. He rented a
house for me and really takes care of me. I
wonder why this people decided to treat me this
way considering the amount of money I spent on
them. There was a time I had N3bn in Equity
Bank at Allen Avenue, Ikeja, which I spent on
people. Anyway, I thank God for my life. I started
colour printing in Nigeria, and I was printing for
Thisday Newspaper, Punch, and many others. I
also registered a security company which was
approved and I had a license. They gave three of
us the license. We had Vanni, Gordon and
another one. I was even guarding the airport.
You were quite big then; didn’t you invest your
money wisely then?
I invested a lot of my money, but because of
corruption, mismanagement of the people
handling the businesses ran them down. When
you have a business, it’s very good to employ
people who are reliable and give them some
percentage of the investment or profits to get
their commitments. That lesson I learnt greatly. I
was putting my wife and my family, they ran the
business down. My wife, Anthonia was even
sharing money with people on purchases and
supplies. My workers were building houses from
the money they were making from the
companies without letting me know.
How did you meet Anthonia?
I met her at a Police Station when I was having a
problem then. She was a Sergeant then, very
beautiful woman. She was working with Dan
Baba then and she was trying to assist me.
Was she your first wife?
No, my first wife is an Ijebu woman called Toyin,
and she is still alive. I used to call her Toyin
Tomato; she was always with Kolington, Tayelolu
and the likes.
Why did you part with her?
I parted with her because she likes parties a lot.
But you were also going to parties then?
I went to parties, but I could not leave my family
and go to parties. She used to leave our little son
and go to parties. She had three children for me.
My first daughter, Bose, is a Phd holder in
London. I have another one who is a doctor, and
Tunde who is in America.
Are they aware of your situation?
Yes. They’ve tried.
I knew you had properties on Isaac John and
Alabi Crescent in Ikeja, what happened to them?
They took advantage of me because they knew I
needed money. I was offered N80m by a man
called Basorun A.K for a house of about N300m.
He has been in jail for about 10 years now
because he was a drug dealer.
What about your Guest House on Joel Ogunnaike,
GRA, Ikeja?
I rented it, and I gave it to Shina Eddo, who also
rented it from the family that owns it. Shina is a
very good person to me.
What happened to your fleet of cars because you
had a penchant for them?
I had more than 50 cars like Bentley, Rolls Royce
and others. I usually bought cars that were newly
manufactured. Household enemies are the
problems of my life. God has made me to see
that the people I trusted don’t even care about
me.
Why do you think everyone neglected you?
It’s corruption, distrust. I gave at least 60
percent of all I had to people. I’m so happy on
the street because people like Ade Balogun take
care of me.
What about Dare Babs; who was he to you?
He was my driver. I brought him from Abeokuta
to Lagos when I was working at the Breweries.
We had a problem because of some little money
of $5m, which was stolen by one Kenny, though
we’ve settled it. He’s a very good person, but I
haven’t heard from him for some years now.
What’s your relationship with Oghadiome?
He is my village brother; in fact, my compound
brother from Fuga in Edo State. The late Admiral
Akhigbe was the governor of Lagos State then; I
think he was the one that made Oghadiome to
become a deputy to Lucky Igbinedion of Edo
State then. When he became the Chief of Staff
to Jonathan, I went to Abuja to look for him. I
was thinking he would call me for something
important because when his mother died, I was
there. Even when they were building the
secretariat in Fugar, I was the one that
contributed the most and they named a hall
there after me: Godwin Anabor Hall. Today, none
of them recognises me, and it’s very
funny.20150805_0005122
Do you think what is happening to you is Karma
because you used to ‘obtain’ people then?
In the Bible, God says ”if you believe him, he will
give you joy. And for those that don’t believe
him, he will give them power to acquire, but
those who believe in Him will take it from you.”
God gave me money; I did not obtain, it just
came. If I obtained, they would have arrested
me. I’ve never been on trial; or jailed for any
offence. I don’t have such a record.
For your information, I know I will come back
again; that’s why I’m speaking like this. I will
come back again because you’re bound to go up
and down seven times and still have the grace. I
believe in God.
What is your greatest joy in life?
My joy is that I did not die and give people
opportunity to say good things about me when
I’m gone. I’m alive to see how people are
treating me when I don’t have. In fact, people
that I taught how to make money then and who
are now rich don’t want to touch me.
Ambassadors of foreign countries used to attend
your parties, what was your connection with
them?
It’s because I’m honest. If you’re honest, people
will come to you.
Tell me about your background, where are you
from?
I’m from Fugar, Auchi in Edo state, but I was
born in Kano, and grew up in Osogbo.
What about Ade Bendel, I learnt he is your
friend?
He is like my brother because he is from Owan in
Edo State; I met him in Lagos. I heard that he
had some problems and he’s in prison; that’s all I
know about him so far.
If you come back again, what lessons have you
learnt in life?
I want people to know that the friend you have
now is not your best friend; in fact, your
household enemy is your family. It’s just you and
God, believe me. Always watch your back.
Who is left with you now?
It’s God, and He is working because I’m living
and enjoying. I still believe in Philippians 4:13. ‘I
can do everything through Him who gives me
strength.’
There was a report that you are now driving cab,
is that true?
People are just writing whatever they like. A lot
of people want to give me cars and other things.
When God has blessed you, he has blessed you.
Did you not see my driver, yes, he drives me in a
Toyota call Pencil Light, but I’m not the one
driving or doing kabukabu with it. I’ve learnt to
live with my condition after all; I’m alive to see it
all.
What is your greatest prayer to God now?
My prayer can be found in Psalm 1 which says,
‘Blessed is the man who does not walk in the
midst of the wicked.’ He says he will bless them
and make them like trees planted by the
riverside. That’s what I prayed that I became a
rich man. Forget about gossips.
How old are you chief?
I’m 55, and I was born on February 19.
Where is Anthonia and your children now?
They’re in London.
Tell me your last word?
My last word is that everybody should watch
their back, because there are household
enemies.

A known 419er that was transporting cocaine with armed escorts during IBB's regime. What a funny world.

A quick reminder to all out there with the feeling that they're on top of the world

Your wealth will not last if it is ill gotten. I try to manage what I have but a lot of those who call you their friends are not real.
