Goddy Anabor: Nigerian Billionaire Turned Taxi Driver, After Losing Fortune from Fraud

In a remarkable turn of events, Goddy Anabor, once a billionaire businessman and publisher of the now-defunct Hearts magazine, has found himself behind the wheel of a taxi in the bustling streets of Lagos.
His fall from grace has been met with shock and intrigue, as Anabor was once revered by musicians and celebrities for his generosity and deep pockets.
However, rumors have surfaced that Anabor’s lavish lifestyle and wealth were founded on illicit activities. Allegedly, he made his fortune through what was then known as “Yahoo,” a term used to describe fraudulent schemes.
When questioned about his involvement in fraudulent activities, Anabor responded with a philosophical twist, insisting that “yahooing” was not a crime, but rather a way to reclaim stolen wealth from those who had wronged his ancestors. This defense has left many perplexed and wondering if there is more to his story.
Investigations suggest that Anabor’s ill-gotten gains were funneled into various business ventures, one of which was Heart magazine.
This publication, known for its romantic content, proved to be a goldmine for Anabor, bringing in considerable profits and attracting a dedicated readership.
For many, Heart magazine served as a gateway to sex education, providing a platform to learn about intimacy and relationships during their formative years.
However, the glory days of Anabor’s success came to an abrupt end when his fraudulent activities were exposed. Legal troubles and the subsequent collapse of his empire led to the demise of the once-thriving magazine.
Anabor was left with no choice but to reinvent himself, ultimately finding solace in the role of a taxi driver on the streets he used to dominate.
Anabor’s story serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the dangers of ill-gotten wealth and the consequences that come with it.
As the investigation into his past continues, many are left wondering if there are more secrets waiting to be unraveled. For now, Goddy Anabor remains a recognizable face in Lagos, navigating the streets he once ruled, albeit in a different capacity.

The Nigerian police has finally approved the planned nationwide protests and outlined conditions for participants.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed this on Friday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He urged all groups planning to participate in the proposed nationwide protest to submit their details to the Commissioners of Police in their respective states.
The police boss said this was to ensure the protest was peaceful.
Egbetokun said, “We acknowledge the constitutional right of Nigerian citizens to peaceful assembly and protest.
“However, in the interest of public safety and order, we urge all groups planning to protest to provide necessary details to the Commissioner of Police in the state where the protest is intended to take place.
“To facilitate a successful and incident-free protest, they should please provide the following information: state the proposed protest routes and assembly points; expected duration of the protest; and names and contact details of protest leaders and organisers.”
The police boss said the information expected from the organisers also include measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements, as well as key identifiers for possible isolation of potential troublemakers.
By providing the information, he said, the police will be able to deploy adequate personnel and resources to ensure public safety.
He said the police needed to know the specific routes and areas for the protest to avoid conflicts with other events or activities.
Mr Egbetokun said the police will “establish clear communication channels with protest leaders to address any concerns or issues that may arise; minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or other criminal activity.
“We encourage all protesters to cooperate with the police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly to guarantee a safe and successful exercise of their rights.
