Ujuvals1:
I love you and i can relate what you are going through.

Please stay strong, if you need to chat with someone am always available.

Stay strong it isnt over yet.

At times like this, situations like this come up to shake us and test our faith in God.

I know he commited the crime, yes it is wrong and am sure his now facing the consequences of his action which will make him a better person.

My brother now doesnt want to hear drugs neither my husband so you see the jail term corrected their senses.

I know is hard for us to cope at times like this but just hold on.

Prayer works my brother,pray and pray God will show up for him and for your family.

He wont be killed, he isnt a murderer, na fraud highest is jail term which will take a while but he will one day one day come home.

Dont give up now is time to be strong,too many suggestions too will scatter ur brain join,lolzzz....

Just try to contact his friends to find out if he has been sentenced, they have a way of knowing but in all you do be wise.

Remeber he wont be killed with God on his side, who knows he might even be freed abi you dont believe in miracles?

Nairalanders dont come for me,yes he sinned but this experiwnce will forever change him hopefully to a better person.Stay blessed.

I believe in miracles.

I will be forever grateful to you for the support.

I will pray and be wise.

Thanks once again.

Don't Worry Ur Sef, Beside U Said It's Money Fraud Not Armed Robbery, Rape Or Murder..., He Can't Be Sentence Long In Prison...
But If All Ur Efforts U Try Are Abortive, Don't Worry, He Won't Stay In Prison More than a Year... Remember The Story Of Joseph In The Bible,... He Was Put In a Well, From There INTO Slavery In Egypt Then Into Potiphar's House, Got Wrong Accusations, Went To Prison Inna Foreign Land... But Alas, He Conquer And Made His Family Proud... Did U Know If Ur Brother's Trauma Was Written By God So As To Know How The World Revolution Is All Is Well, Don't Forget To Comfort Ur Family, Esp Ur Mother, So as Not To Think Her Son Will Be Dead Inna Foreign Land.... Just Tell Her Always That, "Within a Couple Of Months, He Will Be Released"
Always Pray In Private Interceding On His Behalf

gypsey:
believe it or not. your brother probarbly Already Accepted his reality. i ve done time in foreign countries.. They put you through their justice system and that's it. no please, no mercy. if you are innocent they would free you. if you are guilty, you do your time. simple! especially in china were the court hearings are ussually done in Mandarin (chinese language) you will not even understand the rulings or court decisions, your lawyer will be a chinese too. Everything in court is done and written in chinese. Now, imagine that.
Their laws must be upheld, to deter others like your brother

Countries? I hope you are a changed man now?

I feel your pain bro.i can,imagine what's going on in your head and mind .i want you to be strong assure ur parents hes fine but can't talk now.we know he commited d crime .hes not d first but he's just unlucky. i pray and hope he his deported.Jah is in control.

no pain, no gain.

dederocs:
When he was making money, flexing did he tell us...all these dumb people spoiling our reputation.

If you are a criminal or scammer, and are caught, face the music.spits.

Will u say u havent eaten from a 419 money before. No claim Holy bro. Be positive for d young man.

Sonfethopia:

If you are a criminal, be prepared to be bleeped up, no sympathy...am concerned about how these thieves and scammers destroy our reputation.

CptCharlesVane:
'Searching for greener pastures' means going to violate Visas and do fraud in Nigerian parlance. I would've said don't bother yourself because China is just another kettle when it comes to human rights for criminals and we should be happy justice is served for his victim(s).
Tough luck, but if he did the crime, he should do the time (that's if it's only time he'll do in China).

Anyway, see if you can contact the Chinese embassy in Nigeria, and the Nigerian Embassy in China and be upfront with what exactly he was up to there in the far east. You can take it up from there.

People like your brother continue to make things difficult for legitimate Nigerians trying to earn an honest living and bring value to Nigeria in these countries

Exactly my point...Bleep sentiments...if you do the crime, be prepared for yawa...unless you change.

That is not the topic here.
No body holy. Even u done scam person before.be prepared to be 4ked up too

Chaii, your story is a huge testimony, i cried reading it, I'm happy for you and your family

Ujuvals1:
@Soul47
My dear i am sorry for what you and your family are passing through but trust me it will be alright even though it may take a long while.

My family encountered similar issue even worse, we are two in our family just myself and kid brother.

He travelled out six years ago to Brazil while i got married three years ago.I have long lost my mum so it was just me and my dad.

My husband did my bride price and i got pregnant he said he wanted to travel out and will be back soon.

My dear i was two months pregnant living with my father when i was told my husband had been arrsted for drug offence i didnt hear from him again.

I went into depression, pregnancy, cashlessness and a father to take care of, i called my brother and cried my heart out he was pushed to redeem the family out pf poverty and frustration.

My dear that is how he carried drugs from brazil swallowed it and almost died and headed to South Africa enroute to Nigeria.

Himself and four of his friends left for that journey, i never knew he entered drugs just to raise money and help us as i was already nine months, frustrated with a father to feed.

My dear this is true life story, immediately he moved he called me his coming to Nigeria i was happy praying never knowing what laid ahead.

Two days later he called that himself and his four friends have been arrested in South Africa with drugs,Jesus i ran madddddd......i entered labour self immediately from the tears and frustration.

Thats how i birthed with tears and it was God all through, i told my dad about what happened and the man almost died.Few weeks later he called saying he needed 500,000 for lawyer else he stands a risk of being imprisoned for fifteen years chai.

Me wey never see 1000, well i cried and taught i would die, i cried ooo, my heart broke, i birthed a boy but sadness all over.My baby father made no contact for three years my dear.

I eventually got up, prayed and asked God to save me.I had stitches after child birth and was told to stay on bed rest for a while but i couldnt with all my problem.

Immediately i got home i dropped the baby with a neighbor and hit the street going to every of my uncle asking for help to raise lawyer money for my brother, my dear they all failed.They even mocked us that he shpuld test prison and see is not easy who told him to carry drugs.

My father was there asking me daily to talk to his son or he would die, chai.

I later had to give myself brain and spoke to my brother, he sounded strong initially telling me to be strong for him to take care of the family, that his friends have been sentenced to ten years and his thế last awaiting judgement i should just believe is ten or twelve yeats i should hold on throughout and kiss my baby for him.

I swear as am typing am even crying but am trying to tell u a real story to encourage you.I went to hustle by calling all my contacts that am into books selling, luckily for me, a lecturer friend gave me contract to stock school libray, i did that with the pain and stitches in my body after childbirth but i was determined to raise that lawyer money.

I did that and after that i made 150,000 from it.i quickly sent it to him asking him to deposit for lawyer, next i started going to island to look for things to resell, infact God was with me, within two months i raised another 70,000 and forwarded to him.Mind you all the people he knew failed him no support at all.


After i had sent the 220k in total, the lawyer came in and fought for him, told the court he had a job in Brazil which is true although the pay was small but he was pushed after his sister went into labour and the pressure from home was much etc, also his a firat time offender and his enroute Nigeria and not SA, sth like that sha. i was told to produce a lot of document thats how i kept running up and down like a mad woman, i slimed down to brown stick, people who came to greét me for the birth of my baby kept asking are you ok,chai i suffered.

I didnt even have time for myself or the baby, i kept sending him money to buy a phone there so we could communicate with him, if he buys this week nextweek they will seize it, upper week i send and they seize he buy again they seize infact it was a life time challenge i cannot forget.


After five months of awaiting trial he was sentenced to four years, to serve two years and two is suspended, chai i did it, all alone.Jehova be praised.I encouraged my dad all though telling him to be strong but in my room i cried.My father lived through it cos i stood like a lion and never gave up.

To the glory of God he started his sentence after he had wasted six months awaitig trial which was cancelled as it wasnt counted.He started serving and i kept praying, at some point we couldnt communicate but i had hope is not over he is alive he will be back someday.

To the glorify of God, he came back this year february 2019, instead of being deported to make matters worse for us here in naija,a Sputh African woman helped him to cross over and he was allowed to enter Nigeria after he had finished serving.

He came back looking so good against my initial thought of him looking sick and out.i cried and was mad with excitemnet.My father laid down on the sand and rolled to God thanking him, only son chai.we suffered, but is over.

Guess what three years down,my husband suddenly appeared released after been incommunicado for three years his son is a fine healthy boy of three years, finally is over.

Why did i write u long epistle is to tell you that people have seen it, have hope and faith for God is alive.

He isnt dead,chinese prisons dont give easy access to cellphone to call but know that one day he will call.

Be strong for your parents, dont be weak, encourage them, tell them is ok, that his fine. Tel tham that his friend said his ok, because sad news can kill them due to old age.Just tell them his ok but cant communicate.

Nobody can go there to see him, security is tight, my brother case nobody could,hmmmmm na drug oooo who go go?

Be prayerful, go to God and tell him to help ur family, do you know how i raised all that money i dont know, i havent even touched such fund in my life but when challenge came my determination pushed me to save my brother.He was the only one in his clique that got the easiest sentebce in a good cell.

So dont loose hope, his not dead, yes you hear stories that jail is tough thats true but it wont kill him it will only make him tougher thats the truth so dont worry he will be back one day,it may take long but he will.Stay strong, dont give up.

If you want to start contacting embassy, honestly naija is sth else the process will drain you emotionally, financially and yet you may not achieve any tangible result because he didnt go on student visa.

DONT GIVE UP, STAY STRONG, HE WILL COMMUNICATE SOON.BE STRONG FOR YOUR PARENTS ok.May God make it easy for you in jeaus name.Amen.

LadyHeaven:


Countries? I hope you are a changed man now?

I am, I was young then, Made some wrong Choices. now i am A grown man with children.

@Op i sympathize with you and the situation of your brother.

My advice is to first of all learn the Madarin language, get acquanuted with their legal system. You mught want to study law in my opinion.

Assuming you cannot afford to study law, then go on to employ the services of a local advocate.

Still processing your advice with regards to the long time involved in actualising all that.

Thanks for the response.

If ur brotha didn’t do Frug, then u guys should keep praying and also prepare to raise his return flight ticket back home, but his first 3 months in the underground will determine the weight of his case, may God have mercy on him , that city dey caught him nah hell fire , the prison be one of the worst ever in the world , just pray ur brotha come out complete. God have mercy.

Mr man you should be asking the chucxie guy how he got the info about your brother and how you can get in touch with someone that can be giving you first hand info, i wish you luck and hope he is released or at worse giving a light sentence, Chinese prison no be child's play

Soul47:


Yea.

Thanks a lot.

Soul47:


Ok. Will do that.

Pls don’t do that illan lan la is not God

gypsey:
exactly! And it is most likely he commited the crime.


Even God should be Against criminality, what kinda God would support Stealing from people?

This mentality is why this nation suffers this fate...yes, there must be criminals, no one is holy, but should we support criminality as a people, is criminal tendencies and fraud, something we have imbibed as a value?

Everywhere round the world, there are criminals, but we should not celebrate or support it, as a people...this has grave cultural, economic and social implications.

Sonfethopia:


That is not the topic here.
No body holy. Even u done scam person before.be prepared to be 4ked up too

What if I change?...of course as young adolescent we dabble into crime, but as one grow older, you realise crime is indeed a trap...life is beyond finding money like a rat...am sure the man in question will be above 30yrs...old enough to be held accountable...if he is a young man in his teens or early twenties it's a different story... just stating how I see it.

Lol.

Wasn't planning on either

Soul47:
Goodday everyone.

Please I have a serious challenge and don't know how to go about it, so I decided to put it up in this forum hoping for advice from fellow NairaLanders.

2 years ago my elder brother (who is actually the only brother I have) went to China in search of greener pastures. I was about rounding up my first degree so we hardly communicate then.
When I finished late last year, we had lots of time to gist via WhatsApp voice and video call option, and less often the chat.

Last 2 months being March, Specifically on 23rd I chatted him up telling him that I was with my girlfriend and wanted him to say HI to her being her birthday. He said he was already asleep but will speak with her the next day.

The next day being Sunday 24th March he didn't come online and that have been the case till now.
I was less bothered, thinking he wanted to stay off social media for a while. Weeks passed by still no way to reach him. His number either doesn't connect or am automatically transfered to voicemail.
My Sister then decided to chat up one of his friend he usually tag on FaceBook who is in China to ask about his whereabout, and his friend told her that on that Sunday morning the Chinese Police raided his apartment and arrested him for financial fraud.

My NYSC orientation camp was a less pleasant experience because it was there that I got the news. My parents were informed but could do nothing about it since they don't have any contact in China.

I asked my brother's Chinese friend if he knows the prison my brother was put in, he replied no, and due to his incomplete papers he wouldn't be able to move around and make inquiry's.
He constantly assured me and my family that my brother will be released, its just a matter of time.

Am just scared of the fact that I haven't even spoken with my brother for so long and considering the bad press about Chinese prison what his fate will be.

Please can anyone best advice me on how to reach my brother to know what is going on... Maybe how to contact the the Chinese Police or just anything positive on the issue.

Cause I don't even know if he is alive.
I dont know the prison he is in and how long he will be staying there.
I don't even know how to console my parents anytime they ask me about him.
Am just blank, and it hurts.

I wonder if these tears will ever leave my eyes.

Any comment will be greatly appreciated.

I call on the Moderators of this great forum to please push this post to FrontPage so as to reach wider audience.

So he went to china to do Yahoo Yahoo..... It serves him right oh.

I get u. D deed has been done. D young man need encouragement. And thats what we should do to him .to encourage him to be strong . he didnt commit d crime,his bro did.a saying said,the dead dont feel pain when they die but their loved ones alife.comments like that of urs will down the young man emotionally. No one is a saint.u may be in similar situation. C i put my self in his shoes. The country is hard. Do u know what it means to live knowing ur bro is in jail in a worse country.guy let's be human.

Im not supporting fraud.

Quick question, was your brother incacerated over a crime he actually committed?
Are you saying that prayer allows someone that committed a crime to go free?

technuel:
My brother first of all I want to console you on your odeal
It hurts because I know my junior brother faced the same fate like two years ago but not in China

All you need to do now is to reach out to Nigerian Embassy in China put a call to them or email them. If you have anyone in the ministry of foreign affairs he or she can help you out too.

Secondary Prayer: Prayer works, when my brother was incarcerated he was charged to court and their offence was 10 years imprisonment but my mother have to embark on a one week long fasting and prayer and on the day she ended that fasting my brother called that he has been released. Just like that, he said on the day of their final judgement the judge that was handling cased looked at then for a while and ordered for their release. So you can see prayer is the key to any problem.


Don't worry Your brother will come out and meet all of you his loved ones.

@op . Please don’t call the embassy . Your bro did something which every government frowns at. THE RULE IS “ IF YOU MUST BE IN A COUNTRY, DONT DO LOCAL” government d frown for local work and the thing casts so quick. I understand how you feel. I had immigration case with Kenya sometime last year and it wasn’t funny. The little time I spent in their jail was a big lesson for me despite that my papers where complete and with my residency permit in another bigger country.

Please don’t call anyone , pray if you believe in prayers . Go to Dibia or anything that you believe in. But allow your brother to handle the issue internal.

Stay with your parents, give them hope and be a man. Your brother will face the outcome of his action. I believe he knew that LOCAL work is not something a wise streetman goes into. But he went in because of the HIGH PERCENTAGE . So no worry.


He will maybe serve his terms and will be in Lagos/Abuja airport soon. Just stay focused and wait for his calls because he is making plans to call home soon. I can bet on that!


And for all of you claiming “holy holy” ; if you swear that you have not and never eaten yahoo money directly or indirectly;Thunder will fire you.
