Huh? How did he get to Chad without a passport then?

That is a really good question and one that I have been trying to figure out from the beginning. You don't just go waltzing into Chad empty handed. The last sets of lads that I sent there needed not only passports, but they also needed visas, and immunization cards. One of the groups also had most of their money taken from them by immigration officials.

If it were not for the fact that we had to contact him on two different Chad phone numbers, I would have my doubts that they were even there since the IP resolves to the UK.

I think that you just answered your own question there YW.
Laddie has sneaked over the border without any official documentation, so that he can avoid being robbed by police and customs officials.... Very Happy

It is intersting how these lads get from place to place. However, I don't think it is too uncommon for lads to get from one country to another without passports. On another safari I was providing help, the lad went to Niger with no documentation at all. He simply had to bribe the border guards. It doesn't really seem to be that hard. The great thing, if he is telling the truth, the odds of something really bad happening to him go up greatly.

Which also means getting out will be a bitch for him. No money to bribe border guards and no paperwork means he has no choice but to jump the border! Laughing

Yes, getting back will be a problem too. This is the beauty of getting a lad to only get a one way ticket. See, if he had a two way ticket, he'd be back home. But once they get to their desintation, getting them farther and farther away from their home land. At this point, he really doesn't have much choice but to keep chasing after us. That picture of the airplane must look like pure hope and joy to him. I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than thinking you are but a couple of hundred miles away from $200k and an airplane to take you back home safely.

I think that once he gets to Abeche and finds nothing (assuming he is then in any condition to call or email you), you congratulate him on his passing the test -- that is showing how resilient a TWAT can be. Job well done! Now, if he can only make it over to Darfur, there will be a celebratory dinner and prize worth "up to" $25,000 for him...

That is where the plane will be waiting for him as well.

Desert sand can play havoc with aeroplane engines so they sometimes have to set down quite suddenly at remote airfields and await repairs. This can take days and sometimes weeks.

Just ask him "what do you mean, no papers? "

Doesn't he know he has to show his passport to customs before he can enter the plane on the way back from Abeche: Twisted Evil

And stinky lad doesn't even realize he's being manipulated in exactly the same way he manipulates his victims. Just flip it over and you've got a lad talking about a maga:

That's why I love great baits like this. Cosmic retribution. Karma at its finest.

Brilliant work, guys!

Would the Nigerian border guards be favorably disposed toward him if he says "HELLO BRODAS, ONE LUV!!"? Crying or Very sad

I don't think so. Wink

Prof and I area talking now and there was something that I think needed to be brought up... Remember, there are TWO people on this safari. One of them is Adamu, the scammer. The other is his friend who came with him, to help translate (name unknown). I also think this is the guy who funded the trip.

Imagine the pre-safari details: Adamu tells his friend that he has this once in a lifetime chance to go to Chad and pick up $200k. So, his friend coughs up the money which he said $1500 or $2000 (which seems like a load of crap, especially for a one way ticket). Nevertheless, it was not a fun or cheap trip. So, they get to Chad and stand holding this sign up that is offensive to any Muslim, but it seems the beauty is lost. Anyway, they are gone for over two weeks. They only have the clothes on their back. They have been sleeping outside. It is 105 degrees every day. They don't speak the main language. They have made NO progress. In fact, their only hope is a few hundred miles away, on the border of Chad/Sudan. Not fun. Can you imagine the fights these two are having? They are both hot, stinky, depressed and irritable. I just think the converstation would be priceless. And hopefully they are hitching a ride to Abeche with someone now. They are probably fighting like a married couple on the way there!

As YW and I were discussing earlier, they have not checked their email at all today. HOPEFULLY, that means they are traveling East, not West.

@jojo - then there were two, oops, I mean one.

Imagine being lost in a foreign country with no papers, no money, no phone and only YW for moral support. Shocked

Whoa! I totally missed that whilst on vacation! BWHAHAHAHAAHA! Too bad. I'll bet he has lost a best friend.

@ callum, wasn't that the driver or the person who was helping the lad to get food who left him?

Oh to be a fly on the wall when they are talking to each other, actually, one of many flies due to the stink Laughing

, good work all Twisted Evil

I interpreted that as his travel companion too. But who knows for sure?

Haha, Callum used "YW" and "moral" in the same sentence.

I know I am fairly new to this and thus far have really enjoyed following this amazing safari.....but my instinct is telling me something isnt quite right.....is anyone else doubting the lad/lads are actually there?

I certainly hope he/they are but not entirely sure

Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 11:25 pm

^^^ If YW, jojobean or Prof S&S tell you there is a lad hiding in your pantry, you'd better find the bug spray quick! No doubt at all.

You have to consider the context and the following definition;

mor�al
Pronunciation:
\ˈmȯr-əl, ˈm�r-\
Function:
adjective
3: perceptual or psychological rather than tangible or practical in nature or effect

This is amazing. Thanks for going through all the trouble to share this with the rest of us. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

I always thought as SP said. The person he was talking about was the guy that always let him use the phone at "the business center". He's also the guy that was giving him money to check his e-mail. When that dude cut off the brothers stink, they started only getting to check mail every couple of days. Probably takes them that long to get the cash together for a half hour from begging.

To whoever asked (I forget and am lazy) if anyone doubted they are really there:

I have ZERO doubt that these idiots are there. You can NOT buy Chad redirect numbers, and I've never had a problem reaching them since they landed. They are VERY there, VERY stinky, and VERY f*cked. Hopefully they're traveling east right now though. They're SO screwed.
