Hi, all.

I recently tried building a business that didn't fly .

I had partnered with someone to raise funding for a mini bus to be used for intra city transport .

The arrangement was one that I had to make a down payment of 400,000 and he will get me the vehicle after which I will repay in installments.

Long story short, after I signed the agreement papers, made the transfer and was expecting the vehicle in few days , he suddenly started acting funny.

I will call without end and he will leave the line unanswered.

Whenever he manages to pick up, it's one story of how his manager is sick or his child is dieing , so there is no way he could go to Ladipo.

I sensed that he was playing games and asked him to refund my money after three weeks of scanty and almost inexistent communication. And that's how the main drama started.

He would instruct me to forward my account number, go and meet this and go and meet that.

With bloodshot eyes , I stormed his office on Sunday and managed to wrench 225,000 from him after a laborious try.
Now , my 175,000 is suspended on heavy balloons of spurious promises .

---

I have been thinking of going to the police but nothing will come out of it considering how entwined he is with the local police force .

When push comes to shove, I'm aware they might direct that he pay me over the next ten years in coins and cowries .l .

But I don't want that.

---

The other option is to go there and do werey. To exert physical force . But im security go overpower me. And I don't leave without a fight. So it will be bloody.

One of the topics from Islamic section on the front page admonishes against anger and enjoins us to brood over the possible consequences of our intended actions.

So, this one too has Kleg.

Have you ever been in my shoe ?

What do you suggest I do?

The money in question is my home and abroad.
My last card!

And a confrontation will sooner or later ensue.

How do I go about this with minimal friction and prompt response from him?

Brother na madness them dey carry cure madness o.
He has seen that you are soft but no worries.
Get some two soldiers and a vehicle and pick up few valuable things in is place but first be sure what you carry are valuable.
Take pictures of it as you pick them. Best believe he will rush and pay you. If he has to let you go with the valuables, make sure he pays and hen he pays , take all the items to the police station , there police will open office on his head

Shoodboi:


I don't support what I am about to say but desperate times require desperate measures...

Stubbornness must be met with bigger stubbornness,

Illegality must be met with bigger illegality,

Madness must be left with bigger madness,

Hire between two and four soldiers and trap him in his office. Don't let him to go unless he pays the balance.


I see people asking you to hire lawyers or call EFCC and all that...

EFCC will direct you to police because the money is small. Your lawyers will only eat your money and the case will stall in court and you'll spend more than you lost,

And police? The guy will pay 50k, police will give you 25k and the rest of the balance will disappear into the air. You won't even see the coins or cowries you talked about

The guy will still pay bail separately.

Calibrator:
Buy two raw eggs and paint one blue and the other red.


Smart moveGo to his office, fake incantations with his name as if you are speaking to the eggs and break the blue painted egg on his office premises then tell him to dare you and not return your money before you lose patience and break the red one.



If you don't see your money in three weeks, call me whatever you want.





I am charging you 2.5% of the N175k for this OT.

Police na this man paddy o.

And I no get that kind temper to dey calm down dey select things to carry .

I might knock him unconscious immediately he start doing anything stupid if I try to go through that part.

Is there no other legal way to do this other than involving the police?
