His name is Mr. Daniel Oriaku
I paid him some money to drill a borehole June this year, but the client who gave me the drilling job needed his money back so I asked mr daniel to refund. He refunded part of the money but still held on to N400,000

Mr. Daniel promised to pay this money since june but has refused to till date. After making promises of paying me back last week unfailingly, he resorted to insulting me this morning even saying God shld punish me and I shld never call him again. All for asking for my own money.

Here is his profile on nairaland.

I will update the house on any progress I make

Will post screenshots of our text messages after he refused to pick my calls

@ decotech,
You have been called out. We want to hear your own side of the story...

222Martins:
Op, will it be safe for me to say your money was used to invest in MMM? If YES, then you know the rest of the story

princetom1:
Na big waaa o, u will be owing somebody money for job not done and u can still have mouth to talk. Ok, fine, u were supposed to do a job, and now that d job owner said, i am not doing again, i don't see big deal in paying back. I don't just like all these mens that spend money for work they are yet to start, this isn't like u are constructing a road, and u spent money on mobilisation to site. Chai

adeolu123:
Decotech is nothing but a thief. And an arrogant thief. He shld come and explain why he could not payback money he was supposed to use for a work he did not do

aieromon:
Did he initiate the job in the first place? I see no reason why he shouldn't be able to refund 100% of the money if he hasn't used any part of it to buy materials or for logistics expenses.

When did you send the money to him? How much was sent to him?
When did you request for a refund?
Did he state that part of the money had already been used?

adeolu123:

At a stage I even asked hin to keep 200k if only he can try and pay the other half immediately then he shld keep 200k, yet he cld not. Now he is making it seem the 200k I wanted to forgive him is his right

aieromon:


Keep 200k for what? You be charity organization? It's better we wait for him to give his own side of the story.

Charly68:
Push his case to facebook & other social blogs to help him destroy his already battered image ..don't just stop here..go farther..by then he would be more serious to refund your money

GAZZUZZ:
there are 3 sides to every story, iv read what the OP wrote, I have heard from Daniel aka DECOTECH.

So what is left is to decipher what really transpired.

Daniel said he will give a robust response with pics and evidence later tonight. So I await his response.

diportivo:
Lemme wait for decotech here

adeolu123:
Decotech come and tell us your side of the story. What happened to the money?

adeolu123:

I am suspecting same. And now that the thing crashed he is trying to insult his way out. To pick him up is not a problem, but I want people to beware of all these thieves. He even had the guts to curse me for asking for my money

DECOtech:


OK

First of all, I regret ever doing anything business with you.

Muyiwa Olagoke as I know him, Aka Therealgeesam on NL talked to me about getting a drilling job done in the eastern part of the country for a client of his sometime in June 2016. we had agreed on N1,450,000 for the job and I demanded for N1,100,000 as mobilization to collect the balance of N350,000 after a satisfactory completion of the job.

Muyiwa Olagoke called me some days later to tell me that he has received money from the client and will send me the mobilization fee. I expected the N1,100,000 I asked for, only for me to receive an alert of N700,000. when I called Muyiwa for clarification, he told me that "that was what he could send to me at the moment.

I had made it clear to Muyiwa that I cannot proceed to the site with the N700,000 before he opened up to me a few days later that in fact he received up to N1,000,000 from his client but needed to use part of the money to solve a personal problem. Muyiwa still asked me to send him some money cos he needs to solve another problem and I sent him N100,000 still from the N700,000 he gave me. Muyiwa went on to persuade me to move equipment to site so that it would seem like work has started for him to be able to calm his client down and look for how to make up the mobilization money. by this time, 8days have gone by since Muyiwa's client paid him some money to start his drilling job.

MY MISTAKE:
Sensing my friend Muyiwa was in distress and needed some cover up, I went to the market, made some financial commitments to the drilling material dealer and also paid an advance fee to a rig owner for lease of a drill rig, all expenses including transportation totaling N367,000. please note that the distance of the site from my home is a drive of almost 2hours and I have visited this site twice already spending time and fuel.

On the day I called the caretaker, informing him of my coming to site, Muyiwa called me and said he had decided to refund the client becuase the client has canceled the contract. I asked for a reason and he said the man IS ANGRY WITH ME(decotech) FOR GOING TO HUSTLE HIS CARETAKER FOR MORE MONEY ...my heart skipped. I called the caretaker immediately and told him what I had heard but what the caretaker told me in return was even more alarming.

The caretaker told me not to take Muyiwa seriously that his boss (Muyiwa's client) told him that Muyiwa had cancelled the contract because he refused to give him more money. He said that Muyiwa charged over N2,000,000 (can't recollect the exact figure) for the borehole job, only to come back to him to tell him that market prices have increased and as such he (the client) must add another 300k or so to the initial bill or else he (Muyiwa) would refund him his money. I was disappointed in Muyiwa after hearing this but I decided not to confront him. its his client, I didn't think there was need to question him about his dealings with his own client. My own was to do a job and get rewarded for it.

That was how Muyiwa terminated the contract and started asking me to refund. So I talked to Muyiwa explaining to him how far I have gone in utilizing the money. I went ahead to return 200k I had with me and told him to be patient with me till I recover the funds (400k) that has already entered the hands of market men. The market men and rig owner in turn told me point blank that They will not refund me cash but I should bare in mind that I have deposited money for materials and services and that they must deliver any time I am ready. I didn't know how I could make these uneducated guys understand my situation, so I let things be, resolving to settle Muyiwa via other means. Unfortunately, till date I am yet to land a job with the design and specs matching the materials and equipment I have paid for. (I have receipts and will upload when I get home)

So, Muyiwa kept agitating for his 400k and I was not ready to give him a whole 400k after all my running around (am I mad?) and I never insulted him or used bad words on him. At a point we came to an agreement that I should pay him 200k and keep the rest to cushion my own inconveniences. I would have given him the 200k since oh, but business has been slow so I decided to pay him in installments and so far I have only given him 25k even though I know I should not be paying him this money from my personal pocket especially after knowing how the business went.

Only for Muyiwa to suddenly go berserk this morning asking for 375k. I reminded him that what I owed him was 200k of which I had already given him 25k remaining 175k and he started calling on God who has eyes that sees all and ears that hears all to punish me for what I don't know.

Muyiwa Samuel Olagoke, today you called me out on Nairaland branding me a thief. did I come to house house with guns to take your money or did I trick you in any way to give me money? you and I have done successful deals before now. how it has now come to you calling me a thief is what I don't understand. You know me even up to my village home but I don't know where you live even at that I still sent you money out of trust at a time you asked for assistance which you paid back. Muyiwa, how am I now a thief to you?

May I never get entangled in business with people like you again till I die.

All Nairalanders and guests should read this: I WILL NEVER GIVE MUYIWA A DIME ANYMORE FOR BRANDING ME A THIEF ON NAIRALAND. HE SHOULD GO AND BRING BUHARI.

As for him telling me he knows where my mother stays, I am stopping by a police station on my way home and making an entry this evening. such a threat can not be taken lightly.


I thank you all for taken the time to read my own side of this unfortunate story.

adeolu123:

He paid back 500,000 remaining 400,000 of which he cld only pay 25,000 since june. He has bought NOTHING with the money, else he shld make whatever he bought available to me (which I have no need of anyway else he uses that tactic to delay my refund)
