SO HE PROMISE TO REFERE ME TO A LADY WORKING IN NIGERIA WHO IS A HUMANITARIAN WORKER

Who would have thought that Mr H4ns would turn out to be a pimp...

@Callum: Correction. Who wouldn't have thought Hans was a pimp! You hear that Jimmy Stewart voice! Talk like that and you have to be a pimp!

Latest call from the Pastor. I don't know about you, but he sounds pretty ragged. He says he is in jail, and I 1/2 believe him. Either way, he is not having a good time on this safari.

I think toward the end he just wanted to talk to somebody. Didn't seem like he wanted to get off the phone.

Sleep well, Pastor, tomorrow there is a WU transfer for you to pick up which is going to be fraught with difficulties, I fear.

insults and more · Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 1:57 am

I love this phone call. The desolation in his voice, the exhaustion!

He really does sound like he's got the blues.

The last 3 minutes is all that awkward kind of conversation that happens after one person starts giving off cues that the call is over, but the other just can't put the phone down.

Here is how desperate he is for contact: he asked about Chewie. Even though he said "I felt he was not human," you can tell he misses me.

Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:23 am

Actually he sounds pretty sleepy and not very concerned about being detained. Somehow I get the picture in my mind of him being warm and cozy in his bed when you called. Wink

Still with the Ghana IP and phone number? Though it comes as no surprise to y'all, I believe your lad is lying to you. (Shocking, I know! Laughing

)

I can't wait to see (hear) what happens next!

I think Dora might be on to something there. Is it just me or was there a baby crying somewhere in the middle of that call?

Still he does sound like the loneliest man in Africa there.

Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 10:47 am

I think the baby may have been NWM's? It sounded like it came from his end anyway.

Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:36 pm

Yeah, the baby was mine.

I'm on the fence about the jail story, only because a little earlier Dane had called and Pastor said in a hushed, hurried voice 'please call me back I am with a customs officer'.

And I can't think of what he would gain by lying about it. He already has money coming to him today. We've already said we are worried and feel sorry for the guy. What is the motive?

Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 5:20 pm

Yes - actually I called him two times, and both time he told me about the customs, and also said something about the border, whateverthehell he's was supposed to be doing there.
But I agree with NWM - why the hell make up a lie? It's not like it makes a helluva difference...

Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 6:34 pm

Just got an email from him. IP 41.217.65.11 Lagos.

Here is my theroy. He went back to Accra all the proof shows that. I think he has now gone back to Nigeria to pick up the WU. He has called me several times from his Nigerian number today. Of course the dipshit is calling me on my old phone number not the new cell number I gave him to call me while I was on the run so I cant answer his call. I will try calling him this afternoon.

As far as the jail thing I think it is b.s. He may have been slightly detained coming accross the border but I dont think he was in "jail". What jail lets you chit chat on your phone? Just a ploy for sympathy.

DEAR BRO. LUK3.

I TRY CALLING YOUR LINE, BUT IT SEEM NOT CONNECTING BUT THE OLD LINE WAS GOING AND I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE ANSWERING MACHINE. NEVERTHELESS, MY NIGERIA SIM CARD IS NOT EFFECTIVE SO I CHANGE IT TO THE MY OLD SIM CARD I NORMALLY USE IN GHANA, WHICH IS MORE EFFECTIVE, AS TO KEEP IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THOSE WHO WILL BE REACHING ME FROM GHANA. UNTIL TODAY WHEN I SAID I SHOULD GO TO THE BANK TO RECEIVE THE FUNDS SENT BY MR. LANCE. I HAVE TO CHANGE IT BACK TO THE NIGERIAN SIM CARD BECAUSE THE INFORMATIONS I TOOK ABOUT THE MONEY WAS INSIDE THE SAVED MESSAGES IN THE NIGERIAN SIM CARD. BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE BANK, THEY TOLD ME THE CONTROL NUMBER GIVING TO ME BY MR. L@NCE IS INCORRECT. I HAVE TO CALL HIM AND LIVE A MESSAGE IN HIS ANSWERING MACHINE. BUT PLEASE, IF YOU ARE PRIVILEGE TO GET HIM EARLIER, YOU CAN INFORM HIM TOO.

THE LADY MR. HA@NS TOLD ME ABOUT CALLED ME TODAY WHILE I WAS IN THE POLICE CUSTODY FOR LATE NIGHT MOVEMENT IN A TOWN DISTANCE FROM JOS. WE HAD AN ARGUMENT AND I TOLD HIM HE HAS NO RIGHT TO SHOUT AT ME BECAUSE NO LAW ASK HIM TO DO THAT, ALL HE HAS TO DO IS TO PLACE ME ON ARREST WITH A CALM VOICE AND NOT SHOUTING AT ME BY CALLING ME NAMES. WHY I WAS IN THE POLICE CUSTODY, LIYA, THE LADY MR. H@NS TOLD ME ABOUT CALLED, AND I HAVE TO LET HER KNOW EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON. FEW MINUTES LATER, MR. H@NS CALLED AGAIN, BUT THE DID HAS BEEN DONE. I TOLD HIM THIS IS THE SITUATION YOU GUYS KEPT ME. MY FAMILY ARE HOPING TO SEE ME SOUND. BUT IF YOU CAN SEE ME NOW, YOU WILL FEEL PITY FOR MY SITUATION. I FEEL LIKE TAKING A DEEP REST FOR SOMETIME, BUT I DO NOT WANT MY WIFE TO SEE IN MY PRESENT CONDITION. BUT I GIVE THANKS TO GOD IN ALL BECAUSE, I KNOW BEFORE SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENS IN A MAN'S LIFE, HE HAS TO UNDERGO THROUGH TRIALS.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE SUFFERING TOO BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION CHEWI3 lolKEPT YOU GUYS. PLEASE GET L@NCE INFORMED, SO THAT HE CAN CALL ME IMMEDIATELY.

THANKS,
PAS. CLETU$.

Don't ya love it when the desperation knocks on a lads door? Twisted Evil

He called me three times and left messages, then sent this:

Quote:

DEAR BRO. LANC3.

PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU! I WENT TO THE BANK TO RECEIVE THE MONEY YOU SENT, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE CONTROL NUMBER IS INCORRECT. IT LOOKS EMBARRASSING FOR THE THIRD TIME TAKING NUMBERS THAT ARE INCORRECT TO THE BANK. PLEASE, CHECK VERY WELL AND GIVE ME A CALL. ITS A PITY THAT I CALLED WHY IN THE BANK BUT ONLY THE ANSWERING MACHINE RESPONDED, BUT I LEFT A MESSAGE.

I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.

PAS. CL3TUS OROF3.

What's the matter with this idiot? How can it be so hard to understand that he has to go to bleedin' 8auchhi to get the dollar?!?

Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 7:17 pm

Bravo's theory makes sense because of all the evidence, but I can't see why he would go back there and then make another huge journey back to Nigeria. Who knows.

He sent me an email about the map, wanting me to pinpoint the exact location of the box. I told him that the map Luke sent had the red X in the wrong location, and that it was just on the other side of the tree indicated. I got this email reply.

Subject: I AM NOT HAPPY

Quote:

PLEASE, MARK THE PLACE ON THE MAP I SENT TO YOU SO THAT WE CAN BE SURE OF WHAT WE ARE DOING. GETTING LIYAH IS GOOD BUT SKETCHING THE RIGHT PLACE IS MORE BETTER. SO THAT I WILL NOT GO ON WONDERING THE WAY I DID THE FIRST TIME.

SECONDLY, ALL WHERE YOU ARE TALKED ABOUT IS NOW OCCUPIED WITH BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, SO GETTING THOSE PEOPLE OUT WILL TAKE LONG CONVICTION. ALL I WANTED IS TO SKETCH OUT THE RIGHT PLACE. BESIDES, IF I THINK OF ALL WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH, CH3WIE SENDING FAKE CONTROL NUMBER AND LUKE'S FRIEND SENDING ANOTHER MISTAKING CONTROL NUMBER, IT LOOKS FUNNY. WHEN THE NIGHT IS APPROACHING, I BECAME SCARED OF WHERE I CAN FIND TO LAY MY HEAD. SEE HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN IN THE STREET, IF NOT FOR GOD, DO YOU THINK I CAN SURVIVE IT? PLEASE ASK LIYAH TO SEND SOME MONEY AS YOU SAID, THROUGH WESTERN UNION WITH MY NAME(CL3TUS OROF3) SO THAT I CAN CASH IT ANYWHERE IN NIGERIA. JUST ANY AMOUNT, SO AS TO KEEP MY SOUL INTACT.

BEST REGARDS,
PAS. CL3TUS.

IP checks to Lagos

I am at work, so can't call him back at the moment. Looks like he'll just have to spend another night on the street.

Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 7:54 pm

@badgerbait sorry no I added that it made me laugh.

"Just the facts ma'am just the facts" Laughing

He probably was home sick had a few days to kill because of the 48 hour hold and figured he would rather wait them out at home. He probably had a furious wife to contend with as well.

It's only 270km between Accra and Lagos and a pretty easy trip specially if you think you will have 2k traveling money to get back home.

If I have to choose between proof or what a lad says I'm going with the proof everyday.

Of course this is just my theory. It also means he had traveled again which is even better!

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 4:38 am

Pastor is about wore out. I'm not sure how many more miles he has in him.

I called to tell him that Leyah could get down to Ibadan, about 40 miles north of where he is. He wasn't too happy about that.

http://www.4shared.com/audio/Dn4m1oCM/soudingcrappy.html

It's going to take a miracle to get him to hang on thru the day.

Bad connection on this call, sorry.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:13 am

At times it sounds as though he's close to sobbing.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 7:16 am

To band he was breaking up at times. He seemed to think that what he saying was important. I agree with Yastreb, so almost there guys.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 8:05 am

I agree. He is pretty shattered. I've watched (or heard, rather) him crumble incrementally over the course of this bait, and its safe to say that the Pastor we are hearing now is a lot different than the Pastor we heard at the beginning.

With that said, I think we are going to lose him.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 8:19 am

Left me another voicemail. His voice is going. Within 48 hours, he won't be able to say a word.

I agree NWM, it must be a matter of days now, maybe even hours. He sounds like he's not enjoying it at all.

I'll call him later today as Layah.

Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 8:46 am

@The Dane: I don't know why. He should be thankful! We planned a really nice trip for him. Whats his problem!?
