A Ride That Turned Into a Nightmare
Views: 27

I boarded a bus from CMS heading to Oshodi one hot afternoon. The driver and conductor were shouting, urging people to “enter fast,” but something already felt off—the bus looked rickety, and the fare was higher than usual. Still, I got in because I was running late. Barely ten minutes into the trip, the driver started driving recklessly, squeezing between trailers, cursing other drivers, and ignoring passengers’ pleas to slow down. At a point, one woman even started praying out loud. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, the conductor suddenly demanded extra money mid-journey, claiming fuel price had gone up. When passengers protested, he threatened to throw us out. By the time we finally got to Oshodi, my shirt was soaked in sweat from fear and anger. I realized these drivers see passengers as helpless cash cows, risking our lives and comfort without care.

PASTOR’s ADEBAYO DECEITS

By JOLDIE · September 28, 2025

Pastor Adebayo's rise to fame was meteoric. With a charismatic smile and a silver tongue, he convinced thousands that he was the chosen one, sent to bring prosperity and healing to the masses. His televised sermons were spectacles of emotional manipulation, leaving his followers in tears and awe. They emptied their pockets, donating generously to his ministry, hoping for a miracle. But behind the glitz and glamour of his lavish church, Pastor Adebayo's empire was built on deceit. The "Miracle Oil" he sold was just ordinary olive oil, bottled and branded to exploit the faithful. The "Healing Handkerchiefs" were nothing more than cheap cloth, anointed with water and prayers that meant nothing. Yet, he promised his followers that these items held the power to cure their ailments, bring them wealth, and solve their problems. As the donations poured in, Pastor Adebayo lived a life of opulence. He drove luxury cars,…

Loan Trap at Microfinance Bank in Benin

By Ayoade101 · September 24, 2025

In Benin City, I took a ₦100,000 loan from BrightFuture Microfinance Bank to support my small tailoring business. Loan Officer (Mr. Efe): “Don’t worry, Madam, the repayment is easy. Just ₦15,000 monthly for 8 months.” Me: “That sounds fair. I’ll manage.” But after I signed, hidden charges started appearing. SMS alerts showed deductions I never understood. I went back furious: Me: “Mr. Efe, why am I paying ₦20,000 this month instead of ₦15,000?” Efe (shrugging): “Those are processing and insurance fees. It’s in the fine print.” Me: “But you never explained that to me!” Efe: “Madam, once you signed, you agreed. If you default, your shop items will be seized.” I struggled for months, paying almost double the original loan. That experience taught me how microfinance banks prey on people’s desperation.

Electrician Nightmare in Ibadan

By Ayoade101 · September 24, 2025

In Ibadan, my landlord recommended an electrician named Kunle when my apartment wiring kept tripping. Me: “Kunle, please check everything well. I don’t want fire issues.” Kunle (smiling): “No wahala, oga. I be professional. Just buy the materials.” I spent ₦35,000 on wires and breakers. After two days, the lights came back, but a week later, sparks started flying from the socket. I called him angrily: Me: “Kunle, your work is faulty. My TV almost caught fire!” Kunle: “Ah oga, that one no be my fault. Maybe your appliances dey bad. For me to check am again, you go pay another ₦15,000.” I felt scammed. A so-called professional took my money but left my house even more dangerous. That day, I swore never to hire artisans without verified references again.

Love Scam from Port Harcourt

By JOLDIE · September 23, 2025

I met Chika on Facebook. She claimed she was based in Port Harcourt and worked in an oil servicing company. We chatted for weeks, and she sounded real—voice notes, pictures, even video calls. Chika: “Baby, I really like you. But I’m stranded. Can you send me ₦30,000 to sort out my rent?” Me: “Are you sure you’ll pay me back? Money is tight for me right now.” Chika: “Of course, sweetheart. I’ll pay you once my salary drops. Don’t you trust me?” I sent the money. Two days later, she asked again—this time ₦50,000, claiming her mum was sick. When I hesitated, she snapped: Chika: “So you don’t love me enough to help? You’re wicked!” I borrowed to assist her, only for her to block me days later. That’s when I realized she wasn’t real—just another fraudster playing on emotions.
