As the recent safari of the would be poultry farmer to Cotonou imploded on the lad, another straight bait took an interesting turn. He said his dream was I have interest in agricultural productions. most especially in poultry Another chicken farmer? If only my baiting character could send him start up money (about $25,000 or so), he could be a world class poultry farmer.

I mentioned I had a friend who served on the Outreach Committee of our church who always loved assisting others. So he was passed to another baiting character (Francis) who guided our recent safari lad in its early stages. So right on the heels of a safari, we have another chicken farmer!

Once he found out that he could get assistance, his request for money went up to $30, then up to $32....and will keep going up as he adjusts his business plan.

He says his real name is Lucky. We are hoping to safari him and see just how lucky he is!

We really support the development of chicken farms in Nigeria... Laughing

===

Our scenario:

- Francis decides to help the idiot... he wants to send in Africa a package of electronic products: The Courtesy Parcel.
- The idiot has to make a complete list of everything he wants: Iphones, laptops, video cameras, printers, washmachines, etc. He can choose directly on amazon.com and send us the list of links.
- The total amount of this parcel will be 10,000 USD... the church pays everything from its own funds. I'm referring to shipping costs, customs fees, delivery services... Idiot has no any extra cost! Laughing

- Additionally, Francis will ask The Elderly Council of the Church to accept a sponsorship for our idiot... there will be a charity event where sponsors will donate money. All this money ($ 25,000) will be donated to our idiot.
- Francis has to ask for a bank account, obviously!... but, in the end, the money will be put in an envelope and hidden between laptops.
- Of course, the money will be hidden inside the parcel, but the idiot will find this detail ONLY AFTER the parcel will be already sent to the shipping company office!
- The idiot will be warned that the presence of money there is a BIG secret... no one needs to know about them... because it's illegal!
- The good old churchman (Francis) has to tell, very very clearly, that only they (Francis and the idiot) know that the money is hidden there! Laughing

- We will say it was a last-minute decision on "the need to keep secrets of the money"... we will motivate this decision by the fact that, a few months ago, a Senegalese crook banker stole all the money that we sent to a local orphanage... so, we do not longer trust African bankers! Laughing

- Of course, we need also a photo (a video would be perfect Laughing

) for our "Hall of Fame"... this's a text that I use in similar cases:

All the electronic products will be ordered in the next few days and we expect to receive them all so that we can prepare the Courtesy Parcel.
In the week following the Charity Ball, we will be able to send you the package and the money collected from our sponsors.
For our Panels of Honor (Hall of Fame), where we boast of our charity activities, I will need you to send me in the next few days a picture of yourself and a written message (a "Thank-You!" message) to our church.
Please take a big cardboard on which to hold it in your hands above your head, and write this message for our holy church:

We want to thank the Church of the Holy Lamb for the help they have given us!

Be blessed,

Color of text changed. Please keep Green for the mods. Thanks - bware419ers

Our plan:

- Francis will tell him that on this Sunday (June 16), the Old Council takes place immediately after the Sermon and that he (Francis) want to present "the Nigerian Farm Chicken project" and ask for sponsorship.
- The idiot must have all the materials (pictures, video, plans) prepared by Saturday (June 15).
- The next Saturday (June 22) will be held "The Grand Charity Ball of the Summer", so it is a good time to raise funds for sponsorship. Laughing

- Starting Monday (June 24), all the required electronic products will be purchased (the idiot has to do that list), and on July 01, The Courtesy Parcel will be sent to Nigeria.

We have to be careful to point out that:
- ALL the costs of transportation, handling, customs formalities, etc. will be paid in full by the church.
- the lad has nothing to pay!
- a local courier representative will contact him and set the terms of the meeting together.
- the idiot must be able to identify himself with a valid identity document and sign the receipt document.

It is important that the lad knows clearly that he does not have to pay for delivery and will be contacted by the company's representatives. Right? Laughing

If the idiot asks "What's the name of the shipping company?" then Francis can says "I do not know exactly, but I'll find out... it's a company we've been working with for years for all the parcels we send to our subsidiaries in Mozambique".

Otherwise, there will be characters already known (Mike, Claude, Akwoodi, JooJoo and all the rest) and, if necessary, we can decide to make changes to the plan based on our idiot's reactions.

The lad has not replied, so we are hoping he has not "chickened" out. The deadline for his application is Saturday as the money is awarded after church on Sunday June 16. He promised a video introduction but it will not upload he says.......

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

The lad was very busy.....sent some videos and a feasibility study. He needs $32,000. The church will review and evaluate.

Will post videos shortly once the "committee members" have reviewed them!

Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2019 6:01 pm

Video 1
Video 2

disclaimer: just posting the video's. I had nothing to do with them (besides having them on my YT-channel)

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

The lad is very cooperative......it's a good sign.
One "issue" is that he said he'd given up scamming so that he could dedicate his life to honest pursuits like chicken farming. I waited a week and checked in with a new mail account, and rec'd this:

With $950, you too can get yourself a court affidavit from the state of Florida high court of justice.this document will be ready within two days.It is the only the acceptable court Affidavit recognised by the treasury department. If you don't have someone here to do this for you,perhaps I can link you up with Mr G***** E***** the treasury lawyer. mr G***** shall help you with the acquisition

Looks like he has not made a fresh start after all. Perhaps traveling will help him revisit this?

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

The lad is excited as the deadline for "winners" approaches this weekend. Francis sent him a little note this morning to update him.

Quote:

Dear Mr G*****:

I am pleased to write to you today and let you know your submission was very well rec'd by our committee. You have obviously put a lot of thought into this.
If you have anything else to submit, it must be by Saturday at midnight, our time. Our committee meets on Sunday and will announce the winners. Usually we award two or three packages to assist people in their new ventures, often from different countries. We try to vary the nature of the new ventures too. In the past we have assisted a young man get a haulage business going, other times it was a bookkeeping operation. I cannot discuss at this point the details of the others, but yours is the only farming/agriculture proposal, and we like to encourage that type of enterprise, so it looks very good for you.
(Officially I cannot say anything but if you were to submit a hand drawn picture of your new farm or of some chickens, it would show you are anxious and excited for a new beginning.)

The announcement will be made Sunday evening our time. In the meantime I wish a good day and a happy weekend.

Hopefully the lad will sense he has the inside track on the prize and to lock this down, will submit some sketches. It will help him pass the time while he waits for news........

Spoiler Alert: the lad will win a Welcome Package.

Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 1:26 pm

Aah really, now you ruined the surprise.... let me guess, a vacation in dubious conditions is included?

Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2019 3:39 pm

How could you guess? The lad will most likely either have the option of picking up the package directly or traveling with another recipient of the church's generosity; unfortunately, this would involve traveling to Niamey. Given how cooperative this lad has been, we want to see if we can get a more exotic travel destination than the usual Benin.

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

Our new friend submitted extra material to ensure he wins one of the courtesy packages. He sent a sketch of the new farm.

He also included architectural drawings to the committee.

Always nice to see a lad who works hard for what he gets.

Awesome!

I'm a bit concerned about the watertank, which seems to be just an oversized watterbottle. But then again, I'm no chickenfarmer!

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

To me it was the barbed/razor wire and floodlights. Looks like a prison, not a farm! Maybe we can ship him an industrial sized water bottle?

Why does the light pole have sunglasses?

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

Because the security lighting is so bright.....

Hmm, I don't suppose he could make a 3D model out of wood...? Maybe that would help in presentations to lure more sponsors.

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

Never thought of a model. Maybe the next applicant can do that, it's a great idea!

The Outreach Committee met today and decided to award our friend his Courtesy Package. The lengthy note is quoted below. Sorry it is long.

Quote:

Dear Idiot:

I am pleased to be the one to tell you that your submission was favourably received by our Outreach Committee. You were among the 3 candidates to be awarded what we call Courtesy Packages! This is our way of encouraging people to develop and implement their God given talents in honest and honourable works. Congratulations. Details of all this will be sent to you over the next few days.

It may be of interest to you that one of our other two successful candidates is from Niamey, which is in Niger if you didn't know. This gentleman is an aspiring artist who is proficient in carving and making jewelry with a local flare. The other successful candidate is from Conakry in Guinea. He is a musician who likes to incorporate traditional musical elements, with a modern sound. We hope and pray for big success for all our candidates.

We were pleased to include an agricultural candidate, and your submission was very well received by the committee. The extra time and effort put forth pushed you to the front of the line. So we do indeed, get what we deserve.

Some of our committee members are successful businessmen. When reviewing your submission, they offered up suggestions for improving your proposal to make it even more successful. We are looking forward to walking with you on this journey.

Finally, we should discuss the value of this assistance. I will quote rough numbers here for your reference. We had roughly $90,000 to disburse. We were going to split this 3 ways, or $30,000 each. However, given your higher start up costs, you are to receive a package worth about $40,000 including cash and some equipment. Our other two applicants will receive about $25,000 each. I trust this will not be an issue for you, though I do suggest you keep that to yourself as we moved $5000 each from the other applicants to cover your costs.

There are some conditions on this gift though sir. We ask that you use it wisely and to advantage. We ask that down the road, when your business is successful and your earthly needs are addressed, that you find someone else worthy and share your good fortune with them. Lastly though, we ask that you send us photographs of your farm once it is up and running! We would love to see pictures or videos of it! We can live our lives thru your success! Perhaps in the next day or so you can send us a photo thanking the Church of the Holy Lamb for all the help they are providing.

I will be in touch soon with details and arrangements.

Depending on how willing he is to travel, our "co-winners" will have roles to play in getting him moving. After all, they will have no issue traveling.....

We have a winner..................

FOR THE ATTENTION OF:
Outreach Committee.
Church of the Holy Lamb, Canada.
C/o Mr.Francis C*****.

Dear sir's,
I am happy to receive the Good News that I have been considered for the poultry project assistance/funding by your Church. (How many churches do you know who have poultry funding projects?)

This is surely going to change my life and the life of my families positively.

However, I understand the need to send photos/videos of the completed poultry,I will surely do that.

I promise to reciprocate this kind gesture you've shown to me to someone else in need in the future. And, i am also assuring you that when i receives the fund,in two days i should be done with the poultry land/site acquisition. This project would be completed and fully operational within six weeks. (one must admire the speed with which he works! Since he budgeted for permits and licenses, some gov't agency will slow him down?)

On behalf of myself and my family, we say Thank You very much and God continues to Bless you.. Your works shall not be in vain. (Indeed, that is our hope too!)

Yours faithfully,

Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2019 12:34 pm

Very cool so far. The farm drawing looks like something right out of Fallout 4, complete with standing industrial lights and the brokedown prison vibe.

By the way, poultry funding projects by churches not as outlandish as it may seem at first. check out this initiative by Christian Aid.

Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2019 3:14 pm

I'm also somewhat curious as to why the lights are turned on, as shown by the lines emanating from them, when the sun is out. That's obviously irrelevant to the task at hand, although we don't want his utility bills to be too high.

This lad knows a bit about scamming and payments. Below is his recent "note" but it was quite lengthy and this is heavily edited. It is still long. He obviously has experience with collecting from people and is hoping this will help him sway the church. They will offer whatever advice they can and stop short of helping.

Quote:

Dear Mr Francis,
I have a small problem that I think its better to share with you.
I want you to know that Nigeria is a terrible country,I say terrible because here there are alots of internet scams going about.there are those who sends scam mails and those that hacks into peoples emails or bank accounts.

I have a local bank account but it is a savings account.. I feel i will be putting myself in trouble especially with police if the entire $40,000 is sent into my bank account.they can accuse me of money laundering etc.

The convenient way i can receive this funds comfortably is, perhaps I get my bank to setup a domiciliary account for me in my name,with this domiciliary account, my bank shall setup a bank account with a US bank and the US account will be linked to my Nigerian account.but that will require an initial deposit of $1000 which I don't have that.

Sir, you said your organisation have assisted people like me in the past so I think you should be conversant with my plight..therefore, I propose that when sending the fund to me,first send $1,500 through either Western union or Moneygram. I will use some of it to set up the domiciliary account so that you can be able to wire the remaining amounts into my domiciliary (US Account).

Also, you have to beware of fictitious bank account purportedly sent by me, it may be the hackers at work. So,I prefer I send you a bank account bearing my name.that way,atleast you will know its my real bank account.

Please I will need your expertise advise or suggestions on this matter.

I wait to hear from you.

Francis replied in an encouraging and yet non specific manner.

Quote:

Sir

I rec'd your note and am saddened to think that there are people out there who engage is bad behaviour. With your timely warning though, I will address your concerns by bringing it to the committee's attention. We will find a way thru this son, don't worry. All concerns, whether yours or ours, will be resolved!
I have to admit I am not the financial expert of the committee so I usually defer to others. However, your concerns are our concerns.

I will be in touch soon.

Perhaps he was inspired by Chicken Run.
