In a shocking tale of deceit and betrayal, a Nigerian man residing in the United States uncovered that the funds he had been sending to his family back home to build a house had been shamelessly embezzled.
The distressing revelation came after six long years of false promises and ongoing financial contributions.
The distressing account was first brought to light by Mazi Echidiime, who shared the story on Twitter.
According to Echidiime’s tweet, the man’s family had been consistently receiving a significant amount of money from him, all intended for the construction of his dream home in his Nigerian village.
However, the family’s actions proved to be far from honorable, as they chose to squander the funds rather than fulfill their promise.
The unsuspecting man, who had been diligently sending money for the past six years, finally realized the truth when he visited his hometown.
Shockingly, not only was no progress made on the house, but the entire amount intended for the construction had vanished.
Upon learning of the distressing situation, Mazi Echidiime, the CEO of a reputable company, intervened to salvage the situation.
Recognizing the urgency and the need for justice, Echidiime’s company took charge of the housing project, ensuring that the funds were utilized as originally intended.
Months of tireless efforts and meticulous planning have now yielded visible progress on the construction.
In a subsequent tweet, Echidiime proudly showcased a photograph of the house, highlighting the significant strides that have been made in just a short period.
He wrote;
“A friend of mine in the USA whose family has been collecting a lot of money from him to build his house in the village for the past six years later discovered that all was a lie,” They were only eating the money without doing anything for him. I stepped in a few months ago, and here we are now.”
@OGBENI_BAMBAM said; “I don tired to dey hear or see this kind story.”
@derealeMorgan commented; “Thank God for my brother, mine is progressing at a very fast pace, thanks to his accountability and sincerity.”
@quincypetersjr said; “Do people still send money to families to help them build houses? I thought we all got the memo already.”
