“A man toasted me on Instagram, and then scammed me out of money for a car” - Chioma Okoli

‘Wosilat’ from Skinny Girl In Transit is my guest today. Courage Chioma Okoli is her name and we had a blast!
She has the wildest stories about building her life and career as a young woman in Lagos. She doesn’t hold back on the mistakes she’s made, the challenges she has faced and the ‘breakfast’ she has eaten.
Through sexual harassment, futile auditions, cheating men, a sick father and shoot in her shot for a role in Skinny Transit, this woman you see here continues to stand string.
And today she tells me how. Get ready for brutal honesty.

I have fallen for money scam before in a relationship. That was the last time. I don’t give my money to men in relationships. Unless we are married. You keep yours and I keep mine.

[@samyramankaa4335]

Listen!!! Never again!

[@oritsegee]

I see a lot of people blaming her for falling victim to the scam, it's unfortunate cos this is one of the reasons scammers thrive. Please don't trust Nigerians abroad just because they are abroad, there's a lot of them who will build friendships with you just to scam you. Some of them have prominent family members who will not help you when you complain. Long story short, do extreme due diligence before engaging in any financial transactions.

[@primira3862]

This is not a scam as she might want y'all to believe. Check out the facts. 1. Some guy who she didn't know from Adam reached out and wanted to be friends. 2. They started a platonic relationship and she considered him a brother. 3. He sent money to her from time to time and promised to buy her a car if she can pay for the shipping. My question is this. If she really considered this guy a brother as he supposedly did her and he did this, would brotherly love override her desire to take punitive action and do the most damage to his reputation as she is doing now? Would she advice her brother or husband to buy a car for a stranger he met online because he has developed "brotherly love" for her? The truth is she wanted to take ADVANTAGE of a man that she believes liked her. She leveraged on her sexuality (because it is naive at best to think that a man who is not actually related to you wants to buy you a car out of brotherly love). It backfired and she got the short end of the stick and now she's crying fowl. If she successfully got a car off a married man on brotherly love, she for say she be a small girl with a big God... But now she can't stand loosing just a fraction of what wanted to rip this man off of. Make she take am in good faith. What I find really upsetting about this is that the man may have really wanted to give her a car but could have fallen on hard times and couldn't pull through with his promise... In any case, please read between the lines. She is not a saint in this matter as most of you guys want to believe.

[@samchs222]

I don't think his intentions were to scam her if he was open enough for you to know his families and friends. Scammers in general know how to cover their tracks. I guess she was trying to get some bargain with her "influence" and the guy simply wanted business.

[@shirlsshirls8594]

She’s gorgeous, whoever did her makeup shouldn’t have put the foundation on her hairline. People need to love themselves more than the idea of being loved by someone else.

[@zowdeezowdee]

I think this was a syndicate. The wife and friends are not real.

[@u4maoghene]

It's obvious this interview was not done to talk about the movie industry and the actress but to call out her ex lover. My advice to Chude is please as a professional in your field you should have contacted the Charles to hear his own side before using your platform to do relationship banter. If I'm Charles I must sue this lady and the journalist for defamation of character, character assassination etc. I wonder how much you are worth for this indiscretion you displayed Chude. Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned.

[@enoblaze4528]

Wosilatttt is that you😂 ? oh you speak so eloquently. Some people do not have shame and as the saying goes ‘you cannot shame the shameless’, it wouldn’t matter how much you try to drag the man, it might still end up being an effort in futility. I see that you’re really pained but please make peace with the situation and let it be.

You know person wife, the family, he has seen you in person and even sent you money yet he is scammer. This chioma no well. Maybe the guy lost his job. But you ran faster than your shadow messaging the wife.
