My Mistakes,my Reasons And My Solution by Nobody: 8:41am On Oct 26, 2014 |
Good morning nairalanders and I am wishing you all happy Sunday.It is with a heavy hearth am expressing myself today.I thought I could handle it on my own alone but things have gotten out of hand.I don't like how bad things have gotten..I don't like how bad my situation has degenerated and soiling my name.It is a fact that my business has benefited a lot of clients both on and off nairaland. Most early of my thread on Nairaland can attest to it, in plan to diversify my business portfolio and expand our scope of operation,coupled with numerous coincidental, devastating, logistical and some challenging clients(Customers who changed their minds after I have already gone to use their deposit to purchase cars).I developed a big financial setback severe enough to declare a bankruptcy!!! I am not been boastful by stating that am a tough and reasonable person(A man who easily pity people )I don't like trouble and I cherish my name (Ademola),Freedom and peace of mind.I respect people and love living in peace with humanity.I am just trying to do what I know how to do better which is to earn some livelihood while helping people and putting smiles on their faces.I have been trying hard on my own to sort these issues,as hard as I am trying,things are not shaping fine the way I planned. It is true I lied all the time to many clients that am having issues with which I can easily call (Business packaging)but I did so hoping I would be able to solve my business problem with them.(Die in silence)Please,To all the clients that am owing,I am apologising and begging you to forgive me and bear with me.I am not a conman,not a trickster nor a fraudulent person.I am not a 419er. Yes,I did wrong and I am not proud of those actions.I was just trying to settle my clients issues and all am asking for is 2 things 1)Please,Kindly give me your trust and confidence by giving me some time and space to be able to wriggle out this difficult situation. 2)For the kind hearted Nigerian and Nairalanders .I would deeply appreciate if we can sit down together and work out something workable and beneficial to all parties involved. I quite agree I have betrayed your trust reposed in me.But,please,Kindly give me a second chance and new trial.I don't have any connection on aiding or abetting me to avoid jail.This issues is,each time I have encountered with uniformed men of Nigerian forces usually deployed by my own clients,I simply explain my circumstances and they do reasoned with me.Hounding me,jail and locking me up may serve as punishment for my lying which I call( business packaging),failure to deliver e.t.c,but it would not solve the issues on ground.I honestly,truly and sincerely plan to settle my debts and bounce back as some clients that I have delivered to are trying to help me getting some loans by all means.Its of topmost priority on my mind,But you have to believe me,help me and give me some times and space.I would settle them all in due time. I presently have two containers and 2011 model of Honda CRV ON RORO at Tincan. The first containers,which has 4 cars inside including 2013 X3 BMW,Toyota Camry 2002 which belong to one of the angry nairalander, 1999 camry and Honda accords which belongs to me,2011 CRV-EX also belong to me and the market value is around 5.5 million because it a full option,These cars and containers have already spent almost three months in Tin-can.I am currently paying almost 50,000 daily demur-age which has been giving me sleepless night despite that I have a clearing licensed that belongs to me.I need a help of any naira-lander and clearing agents who can help out on this subject matter and negotiate a deal with us as it involved money.I believed this situation is one of the reasons why am stucked.The second container, which have three cars,landed about 3 weeks ago, I have already sourced it out on arrangement to a 3rd party clearing agents.The 2011 CRV HONDA on RORO needs clearing by any buyer,At present,900k would clear it.If any buyer willing to pay me 3 million and then clear it from his /her own,I will release the bill of lading on request.I would gladdy accept the offer.We can go to the Kiri- kiri lighter terminal together.Any willing Nigeria ready to help me should reach me on 08178751092 or you can go back to my initial thread and read my achievement and the level of my mistakes before I asked Seun to lock it for a reasons best known to me.I understood there so many young men/women on nairaland who know how to complicate issues and make it go worse,I will not fight anyone or respond negatively but to keep begging for forgiveness.I will give everyone opportunity to abuse me and say whatever they like to me as I caused these myself.Feel free to call me any names as I believed the people I have delivered over 120 cars for in the past one year will also read these write ups,My sincere apology goes mostly to PORT-HARCOURT ,ABUJA and Lagos CLIENTS which I have disappointed,I need you nairalander to understand that PH and abuja clients have deposited over 50 million to my various accounts and I delivered.Please do not throw a baby with a bathing water because of few failure to delivered. Remember Ademola got these problem because of (pity)Thanks you very much for your anticipated understanding.[color=#990000][b][/b][/color] 8 Likes 1 Share |

Am going to be very honest here. Ademola7 is my friend and like a brother to me. We have done so much business together, he didn't fail in all, although he faltered many times. I noticed that the major problem that Ademola7 has is that he tries to do all by himself. It's not possible, we are human beings, we have to be able to lean on each other. Doubtless, he has made alot of mistakes, but if he can settle them and learn, he'll bounce back. 1 Like |

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. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Meringe: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 |

jasper7: 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). 17 Likes 1 Share |

I pray you get out of all this issues you are presently facing, at times when things start going wrong in business is like a chain reaction untill one puts a halt on everytin and have a rethink and restratergise. Take things easy take time to solve the problems one at a time and try not to add more issues by taking more orders on cars you can not deliver within the shortest possible time and make profit from it. And the most important thing don't use another persons money to solve other ppl car issues pending cause this will only complicate things more for you. Best of wishes. |

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. 6 Likes |

[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 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 don't 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 .

Re: My Mistakes,my Reasons And My Solution by chronique(m): 9:22pm On Oct 26, 2014 |
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. 21 Likes 2 Shares |
