It is not from Lekki oh.

If you are coming from Sangotedo to Ajah, you'll most likely run into this thief I am talking about

That portion of the express has bad spots that cause traffic everytime, coupled with the U-turns there.

This scam happens in PH as well. You see them with their puff-puff or doughnut on the ground forming one fake cry .
The Nigerian I know whose doughnut falls on the ground will simply pack it, clean and sell to an unfortunate buyer.
These ones will make no effort whatsoever to pack the doughnuts on the ground.

The worst scammers for me are the one's in the parks that weaponize religion.

The "mobile preachers". They position at motor parks and enter every traveling vehicle. After praying for travelers, they bring up a fake project or so they are doing and use emotional blackmail on the travelers.

I usually have a fun time putting them down hard, especially the ones that use emotional blackmail, "if you don't support the mission of the lord, how do you expect him to protect you on your journey". Omo, I call him a scammer and a terrible person for preying on gullible people. The simplest way to silence them is to ask the driver and conductor, how long they've been doing what they're doing.

Itsrm:


No wonder you're like this online

I don't believe a word they say and I don't think their prayers have any effect on the journey but I allow them do their thing.

You will be surprised that what they (the mobile preachers) do has a "placebo effect" on certain passengers in the vehicle. I am not going to take that away from them and I don't think you should.

izzou:




I don't even listen to them. I open my eyes wide and watch.

The one wey I pray from house, God hear am.

Person go wake up for morning, baff, carry Bible enter bus, dey pray for passengers and collect offerings

Which kind work be this?

Donjazet2:


I hate when I see people prey on people's emotions. Some actively inject fear into the people's mind to make them give them money.
Knowing that these "preachers" are actually very fake and do it for the hustle just makes me mad times 10. The preacher that made me first tackling these kind of people is the one that actually came for me because I was pressing my phone while he was preaching, I dey mind my business jeje, this nincompoop single me out as "agent of darkness" because I no dey listen to him bullshite, after finishing him that day I swore that whenever I travel in public again, I go get their time wella.

Itsrm:


In that particular instance, whatever you did to him was well deserved.

For the ones who are just facing their hustle, just free them

You are definitely supporting their ministry

Why are you begging on their behalf?

izzou:


I don't support that kind of ministry. Supporting it means I'm supporting laziness and covetousness.

You want to pray for passengers? Fine

Do that and leave. Which one be support again?

The thing is the fact that there isn't actually any "project" being carried out. They are actually lying to the unsuspecting travellers.

I've actually seen some who don't ask sha. They just pray and ask the driver to drop them. People start giving them out of their own free will.

Lolz, this one in your comment don't actually demand money after preaching, nah those ones in motor parks that ask for money after praying for safe journey. They tag it (support for ministry),

Na since the day I don encounter those ones wey dey use LASUTH tests result and Doctors prescription lie for that Mobolaji Bank anthony way for Ikeja , na since that day I no dey pity dem.

While going I saw a couple with tears in their eyes move to our bus begging the passengers for assistance that their child was admitted in LASUTH and they had a whole lot of documents and the pictures of the supposed child bedridden.

They said the money they need remains 8k or thereabouts and people started donating .Funny enough they deducted each amount a passenger gives them from the total sum till it remained I think 1k or so. I just gave them 1k and they appreciated us and moved on.

Unfortunately for the dubious couple I spent a great deal of time where I went to and in the evening while on my way , the same couple had changed lanes and were back with the same story for people in our bus . I challenged them right there and then , omo! They just disappeared .

It was the conductor of our bus that now told me that those people are regular on the road na. He said they have people who give them all those LASUTH papers to deceive the unsuspecting members of the public and that they have a particular drug if they take it , they will be all emotional and u will think their tears are real when in fact the tears are induced by the drug . Na that day I know say begging na one big industry

I think the joblessness in Africa is getting too much, that's why people seem to have so much time on their hands to care about what others choose to do with their lives.
I see people always wailing about gays, unmarried/divorced women and women wearing bikini on front page threads and I just shake my head in silence.
I don't know about others but my level of not a giving a fvck has risen 100% in recent years. It can never be my business if someone choose to be gay, wear bikini, divorce/cheat on their partner or become ashawo. Weytin concern me? I no send anybody papa for this life oh, na only weytin dey give me money I dey reason twice.

Just go through the thread and see people expressing joy about a fellow human being getting killed because of different beliefs.

Tomorrow when boko haram behead same people because of different beliefs that they share they'd expect you to be sympathetic.

Corruption is not black and white. It is a spectrum. The problem is that too many Nigerians of all social classes, income levels have no issues perpetrating killing the golden goose levels of corruption.

You hear of people robbing their company blind. And you are forced to wonder - did they have another job lined up when they killed their current job?

Itsrm:


Yes na, they are the ones we are talking about. If you do interstate journeys with public transport , you can't avoid them

EmmanuelScott1:


Another people I dey avoid, nah those ones that share their church flyers in markets, they will first give it to you and then demand money for support

Those ones no dey ever agree say you no wan drop.

Very irritating

chrisooblog:
It's tiring. Look at the security forces for example from customs to police all the way to the army. Saboteurs and traitors selling weapons and enabling criminals and terrorists to continue ruining the country thinking foolishly it won't touch them or their families in the long run.

Speaking realistically I honestly don't know if in the next 100 years corruption in Nigeria can greatly be reduced (that is if the country is even still existing in its present form). It has become so entwined in our national psyche that removing it will be akin to almost amputating a vital part of your body.

I'm seriously at a loss as to how this deadly problem will be sorted.

There are systems in place. But Nigerians will be Nigerians

The subsidy ballooned under gej because they allowed people to create brief case companies.

It was so bad that the chairman of moman wrote about it

There were multiple conditions that had to be met, and these had been previously enforced. You must have a depot of x volume. You must have 400 to 500 stations nation wide. But someone decided to flaunt these rules.

Systems are always in place, but Nigerians are smart enough to bypass the systems but too dumb to know why the systems are in place
