Mr A got married to Madam B.
B happens to be the elder sister of C (Note: B and C are blood sisters, and C does not live in Nigeria; she is based in the USA).
Her elder sister’s husband (Mr A) asked her to invest in properties. After months of pressure from her sister’s husband, she sent him money to help her buy two plots of land. A year later, her younger sister (the one immediately after C) died, and Madam C asked them to bury her on the land she bought instead of “throwing her away” just like that.

Recently, Madam C called me to seek advice. She said her sister’s husband messaged her and told her that the land she bought through him had been collected back by Omo Onile and that they sent him ₦500,000.
She said a lot more, but I will keep some details private. I asked her to send me Mr A’s number (the elder sister’s husband), which she did because I needed to call him to confirm a few things.
I called him and we spoke at length. Yes, he was right to help his sister‑in‑law purchase landed property, but he was very wrong to receive ₦500,000 and keep it with his wife (the elder sister) without informing the real owner. How on earth is it even possible for Omo Onile to seize two plots of land where someone is already buried? Land that is fully fenced?
The issue now is that the man said the people who later won the land in court (if you know, you know) are asking for ₦3 million per plot (₦6 million in total). I asked further: they won in court and are demanding money to release the land, but how did you get the ₦500,000 you said they sent to you? He said, and I quote, “It was the first Omo Onile I bought from that sent me ₦500,000 as compensation.”
This is where I became confused. From my experience, no Omo Onile will ever return money or give compensation if the land you bought has issues.

They would rather promise you another location (provided you keep disturbing or arresting them). Our call was recorded for future purposes. The lady in the US (Madam C) now wants me to step in. She wants me to travel to the location to meet her sister and the husband so they can take me to the land, but I humbly declined for security reasons.
From my investigation, I sensed that her elder sister knows a lot more than she is saying. I also found out that the ₦500,000 payment, as claimed by the husband, was paid directly into his wife’s (the elder sister’s) account with his full consent.
Who can we trust again in this country? When blood relatives keep making life difficult for people abroad. They always want to sit on every penny their so‑called sisters and brothers abroad have suffered for, making them see every other Nigerian as dangerous as the devil.
There have been issues with the land you bought for your in‑law, and you didn’t think it was important to inform her. You only messaged her after a year, at your own convenience and not only that, after you had already received ₦500,000 on her behalf. Hmmmm.
Something is missing. I am confused. I brought this here so we can learn from one another.

Omo, this is something you need to be careful about.
ReplyDeleteBeing a non-Nigerian, I have no clue what Omo Onile is. Abroadians have been getting scammed by family members since forever, nothing new there.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I came across a video where a Kenyan woman was in tears, weeping like a baby. To the level of emotion displayed, I had to believe it was real. She had gone to Europe to do domestic work. She had been sending money home to her mother to build her house in the village. For years she sent money. When she was deciding to leave Europe and returned home, nothing was there, not even a plot of land of her own. The mother had used all the money to entertain and financially support her young lovers, eating, drinking and dressing like a queen. I can still hear her weeping in the video, talking about all she went through and how she lived like a pauper in Europe to try to have something to retire on and now nothing existed and she would have to start all over again. It pained me so much, I never forgot it.
You're absolute right about omo onile not refunding a dime oops I mean a kobo (side eyes at the anon), they'll rather give you land in another location. Definitely something is fishing, and I am happy you declined going to meet with whoever. It's becoming impossible to trust anyone when it comes to money.
ReplyDeletePeople who live abroad can also come back home and build their empire, except when the person hasn’t got papers.
ReplyDeleteNigerians in Nigeria please pity your relatives in obodo oyibo, it is not easy for them there. Obodo oyibo money is ego Ogwu ego money and they sacrifice their life for the money. Waking up at ungodly hours in extreme weather and working 24/7 and someone else will be telling you stories?
Someone told me in USA 32 years ago that he had a gun, a shovel and an alibi incase anyone eats the dollars that he was sending hime 😂😂😂 . He built his mansion and enjoyed it very well before passing on. Maybe his relatives know the sort of person he was and didn’t mess him up.
If you are abroad. Open a Nigerian account and monitor it from your base because I don’t trust Nigeria banks. Save your money and come back and do your thing.
Please tell that woman abroad to forget about that kand so that this her so called sister don't go diabolical on her o.
ReplyDeleteIn Aba in the 80s when we were kids, our neighbour’s son who was much more older than all of us kids in the street went to Germany and came back with 14 cars and 7 fat oyibos. The whole oyibos both the men and the ladies were fat. I don’t know whether they were from the same family.
ReplyDeleteIf we as kids ever touch the car (it was a beautiful sport car) and it alarms, oh my goodness, he will come out and scream onye meturu motom aka? Chai! Life ooo.
Anyway, breaking news is that the man is living in my childhood street today as I write this, with no wife, no children and no money. I don’t know what happened to his German wife and his Nigerian wife ( yes he had 2 wife’s and lots of money). His sister used his money to sponsor a man that married her until the money stopped coming and he divorced her without a child.
This man has watched every child in that street moved on in life and doing well for themselves. He is now the mayor of our road. Mismanagement finished him.
Such stories abound and will continue to abound till tomorrow. A village cousin who was in Europe was sending money home for years. Upon his return, no house , no investments .... nothing. His brother has used the money to build his own house and start a family. How did it end? The abroad guy, killed his brother and left Nigeria. Never to return. The parents have now lost 2 sons.... one to death the other to abroad. At that time, the police were not involved, so as to keep it in the family. This happened in the mid 90s.
