The latest story in town is the supposed arrival of a fraud star and a con man, Hashimu Suleiman who has suddenly found a way to warm himself into the Presidential Villa while getting adverts from companies like Lucozade boost or any of these energy drinks, simply because he pulled a stunt of trekking from Lagos to Abuja if Buhari wins the presidential election, a promise he made two years ago.
Yesterday he ended his trekking after 19 days and was received at the APC National Secretariat, Abuja. Is APC associated with criminals or they deliberately close their eyes to scam.
For Suleiman to say he trekked from Lagos, some say its Ibadan to Abuja is another lie told to his co dupers. Can we ask ourselves how he wore the same cloth without washing it for 19 days?
This shameless criminal who wants to deceive my people mean to tell us that he began his journey and suddenly landed in Niger State without being seen in any of the Yoruba States? Are we so gullible that if this fraudulent nomad really trekked from the West, his pictures and stories would have begun spreading from the first day he made the move? We are talking about the age of Social Media where feats become news instantly, and the sophisticated West never knew he left their land to Abuja.
Has this fraudster done this before that he knows the route so well and never missed his way even for a day? He is seen with phone and power bank, always receiving calls on his glo line. When the phone and power bank batteries die, where did he charge it?
He carried just one litre of water and yet he never thirsted when it finished. What did he eat on the lonely road, leaves? At night, where did he sleep? When it became dangerous, where did he hide?
I put it to this 21st century scammer that he could not have trekked that journey and his shoe sole will still be intact. I put it to this smart idiot who wants to use our brains to smoke garri that he cannot trek such distance and his feet won’t be all blisters with him limping if need be in just 19 days.
I have checked Google map on the distance he covered trekking but such is possible when arranged for purpose of setting records, as security and Medicare team are put in place.
Can we task our brains to know that the odour that will emanate from his unwashed cloth is enough to kill him before he gets halfway? We all cannot be stupid to believe junks told us by a man who is jobless and needs one.
Nigeria is truly a nation in search of heroes and a scammer almost succeeded in making us see him as so. For his fraud trek, how does it affect us as a nation? Did it influence victory for GMB? The real heroes have not spoken on their support for Buhari and a stuntman wants to play a smart one on a nation of over 170 million persons. This is another Nigerian 419 like the other liar who claimed to be the ‘father of internet’, until he was busted.
Nigerians should immediately do away with this common liar and fraudster, while calling for his arrest and questioning if need be. We must not be a laughing stock for opportunists.
These little things matter…

Well yea, this is a rather interesting thought. I support the fact that no record was made alongside his claimed trek. The little things he ought to equip himself with before embarking on the quest are a camcorder, a portable digital camera, an internet enabled phone to at least check-in on facebook at every checkpoint, and some other stuffs, even a bicycle is recommended, except he really really want to trek. Though, the issue of washing clothes, charging phone / powerbank, and carrying a bottle of a litre of water is not an issue as it can be sorted out on the way without needing to inform the public about it. I only strongly suggest facebook starting check-in, checkpoints check-ins which will automatically create the route taken and how long it took from one checkpoint to the other. Yes, we're sophisticated West and this is what ought to have been done (at the least).
