Maybe the Kofiboyz who are approaching their homes will scare them into getting their butts moving off to Nigeria

Let's hope the lads have packed some extra underwear for the trip...I've a feeling they're gonna need it. Very Happy

Hello Mr Malone,

How are you and your family? I hope all is well with you. I am very
sorry for the delaying, it was due to the situations of things
surrounding me and my partner at the moment. To be honest with you, we
are facing financial problems here. But we pray to God to help us at
this point, so that we will come and meet you in person to sort out
the issue without delay.

I wish to inform you that I had make the necessary inquiries about the
address you gave to us from someone here leaving in Abuja and he
couldn't locate the address of the place as you wrote it, he told us
that NNAMDI AZIKIWE EXPRESS WAY IS IN WUSE NOT WUYE.

Please we will start our journey next week by God grace once we raise
cash for the trip and I want to be sure the specific address, please
help us to reconfirm the address again, if it is WUSE ZONE 1 or 2/3 so
that our journey will be easy this time around to avoid much stress.
If you are not familiar with the address ask your Co_workers to give
you correct address to help our journey to be easy for us.

I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

Mr Eric

I'm not entirely sure whether he has a lad friend already in Abuja, or he just had trouble finding it on Google Maps. Just in case, I will remain intentionally vague about the actual location of the office. Instead, Moses offers up a much easier location, very close by.

Hello Mr. Eric,

That is a good question I am not entirely sure yet as I have been here for only a short time. One of my workers here tells me that we are very close to where the Shehu Road and the Nnambi Express Road come together. But this GPS facility is very different from the ones we have in Cote d'Ivoire because this is only a sorting facility so it does not have customer pickup at this location and not very good signs to find it because usually customers aren't coming here as these packages go onward to either Kano or Yaounde after sorting.(some foreshadowing perhaps? Very Happy

)

A very easy place for us to meet would be here at this school called the Nigerian International College it is close to our sort facility. Here is a link to the school so you can easily find its location:

<link to actual college in Abuja>

Just let me know as soon as you arrive here in Abuja and it will be very simple to go meet you at the school as it is a very large and easy to find location in the heart of the city.

Not that there's ever a bad time to go to Yaounde, but I hear it's lovely this time of year. Smile

Mr L, if you need someone to be the voice of a professor at said college, to lend creedence to the story, let me know. I'd love to do it. Or maybe you already have a room at SH lined up...

A bit like the SH then Wink

Maybe a tube of Vaseline in their kit might be handy ... in the unlikely event the lads become broke and stredded again. Laughing

Eric continues to check on Betty:

Quote:

Hello Brother Dan,

How are you and sister Betty? I am writing to know how sister Betty
health condition at the moment. I wish to inform you that Mr Moses
Malone the GPS Regional manager contacted us two days ago and
gave us an address where to come and pick up the package.

To be honest with you, we are facing financial problems to travel to
get the package, because we spent all our money in our failed trip to
Cote d'Ivoire. I told him to give us up to weekend so that we can
raise money to go and bring the package to Ghana.

We will not hesitate to update you once we get the package.

Please update us about sister Betty health condition, because we are
worried about her health situation now.

Hope to hear from you soonest.

Brother Eric

Betty isn't improving:

Quote:

Hello Brother Eric,

Thank you for checking in and your continued prayers. It is a blessing to hear that you have spoken with Moses Malone and you will soon have the package. The children will be so happy when this finally happens.

I am sad to tell you that Betty has not improved. We are having to feed her with machines as she has been losing so much weight. She is hardly awake at all now, just a few moments throughout the day. Yesterday when she woke, she looked at me and just said "The package? The package?" I told her that you did not have it yet and she started to cry and seemed in a panic. Then she passed out asleep again. I am so scared for her.

We have moved her to a facility in California. There is a special doctor there who may be able to help. They just don't know yet.

Please continue with your prayers. And PLEASE do everything in your power to get those iPads to the children. I want to be able to give my beloved Betty some good news for a change.

Regards, Dan

And Eric sets a date for his journey. It sounds like he will be leaving soon so he will arrive in Abuja by Tuesday:

Quote:

Hello Mr Malone,

Thanks for your mail and your understanding. I am very sorry for my late response, i came back home very late in the night from where i went to raise cash. It was a lot of stress to complete the amount that we need to start the journey.

I thank God that we've succeeded with the transportation fees, we also thank you for your efforts and your understanding in this matter. I hope that our journey will be successful this time around. But i remember that your offices will be closed in observance of the Easter holiday on the 26th, 27th, and Monday the 28th and resume work on Tuesday 29th. (I never really told him that. It seems he's giving this a lot more thought than I am!)

I am writing to inform you that we will start our journey by weekend, due to the holiday season to get to Abuja on Tuesday during regular business hours, we want to meet you after your relaxation days to reduce stress from you and we will be in contact until we meet you in person.

Have a pleasant Easter holiday season.

Regards.
Mr Eric

Safari v2.0. Very Happy

These lads are amazingly compliant.

BOOYAKASHA!

Mr L, this is totally awesome. Another Kelvin-esque achievement.

Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2016 10:32 am

Mr. L, these lads have endless consideration for your character-willing to let him rest over the weekend before the stress of the transaction! They should be rewarded for their kindness and I have no doubt you will show your appreciation in an appropriate manner.... Twisted Evil

Front row seat booked, popcorn at the ready. I just need to get this damn drooling under control.... Very Happy

This really is a fascinating pair of lads. They have never really blamed Moses, they have expressed their fraudstration to him but always acknowledge that it isn't his fault (Randy, Mr. Bahbango, Uzumbo, border guards, broken van)

We will see what Abuja brings... Very Happy

One would love to hope that the hard work to raise funds was all about ripping off friends and relatives, or selling their meagre belongings. Unfortunately, I doubt that be the case. Sad

I'm starting to feel fond of these two, they are like we'll trained dogs.
I can't wait to see what lad pain awaits them.

Has anyone ever managed to get a lad struck by lightning?

^That would be hard to prove, methinks.

Probably preferable to what has and will be happening to them. Only from their point of view of course. Laughing

Our boys have left Ghana and just arrived in Nigeria. Very Happy

Quote:

Hello Mr Malone,

How are you doing and your family?I hope you enjoyed this Easter
season very well.

I am writing to inform you that we just arrived in Lagos this morning
and we are entering bus to Abuja this morning and will be in Abuja
hopefully this evening.

Brother Dan Hamilton contacted us that sister Betty is still at
hospital at the moment due to problems we all faced in the package,
that is critical at this point and we are scared about it, but we
promised that we must try our possible best to get the package from
the GPS back to Ghana this so that his wife will be happy again
in her life.

Below phone number is our new Nigeria line.

Hope to meet you in Abuja soon.

Regards,
Mr Eric.
