Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has come out to accuse GUO Logistics of trying to steal from her. She recently shared that a package was sent to her from Abuja, but she never received anything from the company.
According to her, after visiting their office days later to pick up her package, GUO Logistics refused to hand it to her, claiming she needed to pay for demurrage because the package had overstayed at their office.

Uche added that she used to think only small companies around the Ajah Axis were known for stealing from customers, but it is now clear that bigger logistics firms are thieves as well.
Her words, “LOGISTICS COMPANIES are Robbing people and stealing people’s Belongings in Broad Daylight! … Honestly I used to think this only happens with smaller companies but I was shocked when I witnessed with GUO, one of the supposed giants in Transportation & Logistics in our Country.
I as a Business person sends lots of parcels through Logistics companies and I have lost so many packages that I always end up refunding Costumers or resending through other means.
On this very Day with GUO, a package was sent to me from Abj for @bodygangsocietyy, but I never got any message from the GUO on when the package would arrive or if it has even arrived. I waited about 5 days, no texts yet, so I sent my PA to their Ajah office to enquire about it and possibly pick it up if it has come. I gave her my ID with a written note.
She got there, and the guy on Duty that day refused to give her my package. I asked why, she said no reason! That the guy say I should provide a pin in the text they sent me. I said, but I didn’t get any message. She stayed there for over an hour until I asked her to return back. Later in the Day, I drove down to their office, met the same guy, expressed my disappointment and asked if I could pick up my package.
He first said the package wasn’t there, but because he saw how persistent I was, he now said Well, the package has arrived. Still, I will pay for demurrage, I pleaded with him, but The guy blatantly refused and told me I had to pay demurrage, I said I never even got a text that my package had arrived, asked to see the management or manager on Duty, he refused and said I should go and return tomorrow that the manager wasn’t on seat. The thing I noticed was that all the other workers on Duty were in on the same game Scheme. Cos none of them even asked what the problem was.
Why are Transport / Logistics Companies always trying to hide and steal people’s packages? Now, it’s not only small Companies on Ajah Axis; big Companies like @guotransport do it too. @guotransport, please caution your Workers! Cotransport logistics in Lagos.”
WOW.
Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.
The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.
Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.
Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
