This is totally different from what Decotech posted. You sent #700,000 of which he sent #100,000 back to you leaving a balance of #600,000. Out of the balance,he claims he spent #367,000 and he has evidence to back it up. He has refunded #200,000 and the only issue for now is the money that has been deposited for workmanship/materials.

Explain how the free #200,000 came about.

Oga, truth could be diluted like gbegiri and ewedu

Very very very good. I won't even bother to correct a lot of lies you added to the whole story. Let us leave it as u have said it, so why are u not willing to refund afterall you did not do any job. Why are you asking to keep a whole 200,000 for what?
Decotech, read the rubbish you are saying. You won't pay me back. What right do you have to hold another man's money? You honestly think you will go free?

Forgive me pls. The amount I paid to him was 700,000 and he has 375,000 still with him.
Why he is thinking he shld keep a client's 200,000 is still amusing to me and now he is even saying he won't pay anything at all. Why? So I shld keep quiet and suffer in silence? I shld not as for refund? Must I give him the job? Can't the client ask for his money?

Decotech stop pretending, you never had the intention of refunding, you are only trying to mask your wicked intentions which is to hold the money even tho you did not do any work. Is the client not entitled to his money?

Have you verified whether he actually made some down payments and incurred logistics expenses for the job? That's where the remaining #400,000 is stuck.

You are ignoring something here,

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.

Decotech, please make sure to upload receipt here tonight, u are having a string case here and the fact that u actually came out to reply here shows something, though i wasn't impressed with ur reply sir on text messages with him, i also understand it might be out of frustration, in any case, we would love to see u clear ur name totally. Thanks. GAZZUZZ, well done. Dont mind me sir o, am the referee here, my oga Kingreign traveled

princetom1:


First to read i guess. Nna mehn, so, we had been calling d wrong person names? Biko no vex. Next, what do u have to say abt these revelations op? Is it true u collect more money and doing padding padding and u even cancelled the job? Am sure u didn't return all d money bcoz u will claim mobilisation money and so on. Op, come see and reply o.

Are you decotech in disguise?
I never collected more money. And I have refunded the client, so ask decotech why he is not refunding. Shld the client not collect his money? Are you saying decotech has the right to hold the clients money? I am the one that gave decotech the job, is it his business if I charged 1m and gave him 700k to start? If the job is not favourable to him, is it not honourable for him to reject the job and refund? Or what are you saying? Is he denying holding 375,000? Lol people just type rubbish. So you can allow someone hold 375,000 of your money for doing no job?

OP, calm down abeg.

Address the points your "accused" raised especially the part of money bring tied down cos he already started mobilisation before contract was cancelled.

You didn't have to bring this here at all, atleast not yet. A lil' wisdom and diplomacy here and there would have solved this problem.

princetom1:


You are ignoring something here,

How? So where is the 375,000 with him? Is it his money? Shld he not refund it? If you where in decotech's shoes won't you just peacefully refund and tell me you can't do the job. What is bad in giving him 700,000 as mobilization or did he tell you 700,000 was the whole money I wld have paid him? Do you pay 100% before a job is completed? Why didn't he just say the job was not favourable or is it an excuse to hold the money since june?

aieromon:

Pls it is over 5months now, where is the remaining 375,000 shld he not refund? I don't get all this excuses. If you can't do a job why not refund?

@Decotech, as much as possible, i'll advise you to try as much as you can and at your own pace, refund the OP whatever is due him excluding your incurred costs.

Next time, issue a receipt with no Refunds after payment boldly written on it.

This matter is simple. You have #400,000 unaccounted for.

Collect all the materials purchased and resell.

Negotiate with the traders and collect whatever can be retrieved as down payment for their workmanship.

Decotech has spent money on logistics and shouldn't return anything.

I'm sure you will get more than the #200,000 you're expecting at the end of the day.

adeolu123:

Was he the one that cancelled the contract?

If you cancelled the contract, you should be ready to compensate him for time wasted + bear the cost of his logistics, if any.

Biko, no vex, check my monicker next time before u call me someone else, Decotech had been nice to u, and he told u what he had done with the money, hopefully, its genuine and he would had showed u evidence. The fact that u even agreed to part with 200k showed there is more to this deal than meet the eyes

Where is the materials worth 400,000?
He is a thief. That is just the fact he bought nothing at all, else he wld have shwn me the receipts, he spent the money. What logistics? He never mobilized to site at all

He never showed me anything. Why won't I suspect you? I did that at my own discretion, he was a good friend and I felt bad we lost the job and did not want him to lose because he explained how much he needed money at the time. Else I won't have given him more thann 10k. I cld have even chosen to give him the whole 400k if I had the money at the time. Why take it for granted?

According to the story, u called him on d day he is preparing to mobilized to site, and for ur to had gotten to that, he will have surely spend money. Decotech, please show ur evidences tonight. I stand

It was all informal. If you give a capenter money for a chair and decide not to want the chair any more and the capenter can't even give you a single nail for the job you paid for is it not reasonable he refunds? Or what has he bought? What?

Glad u said according to him. Decotech has nothing. It is over 5months, ask him if he has been able to show me any receipt

Decotech u are online, what did you buy and where are the things you bought for over 5 months now? Where are they?

You don't need a gun to be a thief. Truth is you have no intention of refunding, I am not here for much stories. You have 375,000 with you, what was it used for? Where is the money answer. Or are you trying to forge receipts?

princetom1:


Thank u for this point my sister, even ibrahimovich had to pay mourinho for terminating his contract.

So was I not considerate before? How many people will volunteer to part with the money I wanted to part with even tho he cld not provide any evidence of purchasing anything. Even if he give an evidence now, pls why did he not present any for the past 5months?
Why holding the money, is it not evident he has spent it?

DECOtech:


I don't know how someone will lie on you and you won't bother to defend urself.

he obviously cannot defend himself because you have nailed him.

Decotech, please hand over all materials collected earlier before the job was cancelled to adeolu123.
let him go sort it out himself.

Excellent. Now you are talking. So can I have the material? And he shld show me the receipt dated accordingly so I know he spent the money on such. Then hand over the materials not a problem. All I want it the worth of the money with him.

So for 5months he has not been able to use the material for other jobs so he can refund? And we say he is not a thief

Op respond to the issues he raised,u sef your ways no pure.

You labeled an innocent man, a thief on NL.
You even failed to provide details as they are.
And when DECOtech narrated his own side to the story, you could not refute any of it because you had lied along.
It is you that is a bloody thief.
Your name and your shady deals are already on the internet.
This is going to cost you your reputation if you have any left at all.
Bloody rogue.

bomasek:
Op respond to the issues he raised,u sef your ways no pure.

I don't want us to be distracted. I collected 1.1m from the client. I gave decotech 700k to start. Client came and said he needed his money. I paid him and daniel paid part back. With 375,000 still with him. That is the truth of the story. The issue is where is 375,000?

Why do you think decotech is being truthful, so 375,000 is not with him? Or did he convince me he bought anything with the money and I was not considerate. 5months now he never gave me a receipt.
What are you talking about? Can we be honest with ourselves here.
All the talk about the client are false. I gave him money to start a job he agreed to. If it was not satisfactory why take the job?
