Must admit I was a little worried about the driver but Jojo's explanation has eased my mind and now I'll be able to sleep at night. Very Happy

As far as those photos go, well I am outraged. It is clear that these two scumbags have been lying all along. They look far too well groomed and well nourished to have been destitute for a month in a harsh climate. I would suggest that you stop pussy-footing around and start making them really suffer. Clearly they have been playig on the kindness of the TWAT and it's time to get tough with them. My advice to Jojo, YM and the rest of the TWAT team is 'no more Mr Nice-Guy'. Twisted Evil

Just a quick thought - I was thinking that the driver may have been hanging around because he needs the money to pay for petrol to get back home - cant recall the exact distance but it was a long journey for sure - otherwise I feel he may well have just given up and gone back home by now

Except, they have said they are staying at different places. So I am assuming that the driver has family, friends, or enough money to stay at a hotel (probably on the Airport Road). So I don't think he is streded as well.

Whatever. There is no intentional involvement of any third party here.... period. If the lads dragged someone else in, that is not our doing or our problem. Working ourselves into a lather worrying about all of the "what ifs" will accomplish nothing.

I'm not sure if they actually are well nourished. They look buffy so they may be scorbutic or bitten by mosquitos Rolling Eyes

And that makes me ask if there malaria in Chad?

I didn't notice at first......but now you come to mention it........

Sorry Niagara, I know you meant 'puffy' but I just couldn't resist it.

I didn't mean to open the worm can with my ITP question, but I am grateful to everyone who chipped in for some different angles of thought on the matter. I like the idea of letting the driver down gently that he'll never see a penny of his fee, and so he can at least stop feeding the bois whilst waiting for payday, and just write off a bad debt. After all, we did encourage the bois to find a driver who would accept a deferred fee.

The photos are exquisite - those guys are "brothers", yeah? More like oga and muppet, but maybe brothers in the loosest sense. Certainly no ITP there, sharing the journey to share in the riches. Poor choice. I still see too much fat on those faces, buffy or not, I suspect they've overstated their hardship somewhat. Maybe Darfur will help them get some perspective and compassion for real suffering - people driven out of their own country by violence, not wilfull greed and the thought of stealing an honest $200,000.

Well, this is just great stuff. I LOVE the pictures. The guy on the left (that's Adamu's friend) looks like death warmed over. As jojo said, even the masters couldn't have captured such absolute misery in someone's eyes.

I decided that by this point, they must be FURIOUS with Eric/Hamdan. I'm sure they were pissed before, but now that Dover has told them they aren't in contact anymore and last told him that they gave the boys the case and shipped them to Nigeria on the plane, they must be ready to shoot themselves. That being the case, I felt like it was time for an e-mail from Eric:

Quote:

Subject line - Important Update:

Dear Adamu,

Is there any important update you have to give us? Have you managed to collect the WU from the church? Please let us know what is happening.

Eric

I really like the thought of him opening his mail in the morning, and getting really excited by the subject line, and then seeing that. That should really be a quick ride on the yo-yo of hope.

How do we know that photo was from abeche? That just looks like a passport photo to me, I want a picture of them outside the hospital road internet cafe holding that sign. Their robes look too clean to!!

Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 8:58 am

Well, Adamu has been allowed off of his leash for the morning to once again scamper around trying to find out where his WU might be. He just sent a short reply to Eric's pathetic e-mail:

I really don't understand what you mean. Can you explain what you need done a little bit better? You're STILL with your driver?? Is he treating you well? Tell me what you have been doing in Abeche since you arrived, as I have no idea what's happening there. We're worried sick over here.

And this was sent to the Rev:

BEST REGARDS?

I loved this, "BEST REGARDS?".

I'm not sure anymore either, Adamu.

Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:44 am

Maybe the two rogue TWATs could start sending really poorly chopped photos showing them with our two pilgrims in Nigeria somewhere - and the Reverend accepts that and starts tearing strips off the Lads for trying to deceive him! What desperate pleas might not result?

Chatting with our boy now... Laughing

I will post later.

EDIT: Okay, I have just finished chatting with him. This was very productive. Much easier than getting answers out of him through email. I'll sum it up for those who don't want to read it all. Basically, the driver is holding them in a separate place from where he stays. He keeps them outside. That's where they sleep and eat. They are only eating bread and water. They owe the driver $3k. We are in a bit of a pickle, you see. Emeka, the driver, is the one paying for his cafe time. So, if we lose the driver, we lose contact. I did learn something interesting about the driver. He does not read or write French or Arabic. This is good. I think we should do the WU receipt in French this time. Someone here is sure to know how to write a nice French one up for us.

$3000 for one drive Shocked

I just wonder how much the average monthly salary is in Chad... this driver guy indeed seems to be a loan shark. And he obviously has a place to stay in Ab�ch� so he's probably doing fine.

Does that mean they say their last name first? Or that it is his son? Or that the parents really did name them all adamu like George Foreman?

Where his sisters called Adamu also?

I kept getting the feeling that he wasn't too concerned about the extra meat you got on your pizza. I thought all twats were supposed to be compassionate towards fellow twat members. I don't think he felt your pain at all.

I was originally thinking that the driver locked them up at night. Now it's sounding like the driver sleeps in a bed and leaves the twats to fend for themselves on the street. It sounds to me like the lads could escape in the middle of the night if they want to.

Then again, maybe the driver leaves his hand to watch over the lads at night.....

He needs to apologize for not being more sensitive to your plight involving the pizza. It seemed like he didn't even care there. There is no way you can send him money if he doesn't care....

Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 2:58 pm

I think Oook is right! He is totally insensitive to you. It's always me, me, me in the relationship, right? That is simply not sustainable. Well, tell him you need some all-about-you time.

Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:09 pm

Personally, our feelings are hurt. After everything that we have done for Adamu and his brother, it is just shocking to see the self centered attitude that he has.
