From Nigeria to Canada: Irony of a business name as ‘Fear Jah’ sits on customers’ goods

By Stella Olowoporoku

He sets up a cargo business in Ottawa, Canada under the business name, Fear Jah Export Logistics Limited RC- 1831742. His known name is Davidson.
This Nigerian man, whose Lagos office is located at 15 Adebowale Street, Mende, Maryland, Lagos, Nigeria; Ottawa and Montreal offices at 42 Erin Crescent, ON K1V 9Z2, Ottawa, Canada and 9208 Airline LaSalle Montreal, Quebec, respectively also has a Benin City office address; 53 Costain Road, New Benin, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria.

Fear Jah Export Logistics Limited was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission, Nigeria on August 23, 2021. The directors are Anetor Angie, Isibor Marvelous and Martin Chukwuma Agba.

Right now, his customers are wondering if he really fears Jah (God) as the business name implies.
Only about two out of 10 goods cargoed through Fear Jah Export Logistics got delivered. Davidson would tell them stories about the undelivered goods.
Lady Idowu resides in Ottawa. She planned her wedding well in advance and bought all the necessary wears from Nigeria. She shipped the goods through Fear Jah Export Logistics Limited. Weeks turned to months, the goods were not delivered. Fear Jah told all sorts of stories.
Lady Idowu then took a drastic step! She got Fear Jah Lagos agents arrested and locked up. Then she went to the Ottawa office to create a scene, made noise and gave him a screaming deadline.
Davidson hurriedly told her he had seen her goods. A day after the ‘Aluta’, Lady Idowu got her goods, though belatedly and didn’t serve the purpose the items were purchased for.
Mrs Arinola Phillips is another victim. She is yet to receive her goods after four months.
A group of women under the aegis of Ekiti Group of Christ Apostolic Church, WTL Ottawa ordered Aso Oke and lace fabrics for about 40 people towards the annual celebration of the church’s annual Cultural Day. The goods were sent through Fear Jah Export Logistics Limited on April 16, 2025. A transaction that would have ended at the end of two weeks at the most is still pending. The event held on June 1st, 2025. Davidson has told them various stories, ranging from blaming airline to promising compensation. The goods are still with Fear Jah till now.

While the Ekiti people were lamenting, another woman, Mama Iyabo whose goods were given to Fear Jah for transportation on November 12, 2024, on time for her family’s Christmas preparation narrated her story of woes. She said the goods are still stuck with Fear Jah since last year, and Davidson has not done anything about it. The woman said, no other Cargo handling company is that notorious in Canada.

When contacted by this reporter, and informed that some customers briefed her and other journalists on the trauma Fear Jah Export Logistics Limited was making them pass through after paying the company for its services, Davidson asked:
“Please, is it possible for me to know the customer name, so that I can give accurate information about the transactions.”

This means there are so many customers whose goods are stuck with his company.

He was given the customers details with date of transactions but Davidson switched off his phone.

He earlier told Lady Idowu who confronted him saying she would never settle for the type of Ekiti group’s treatment as he was accused of mishandling the goods, that the Ekiti goods have arrived. However, he is yet to deliver the goods. They told the reporters he even stopped picking their calls.
Meanwhile, the maltreated customers are warming up for a mega rally with placards to “create awareness that Fear Jah is not an ideal courier service provider.” They already informed the authorities as they planned to picket his offices until they get their goods.
