From Zero to Hero—Then Back to Zero: The Tragic Fall of Samia
Some betrayals don’t just poison an individual; they wound the soul of an entire nation. This is the story of Samia Islam Farzana also known as Samia Islam, Freelancer Samia and Samia daughter of sin, a young woman from Bangladesh who rose from poverty and misfortune, only to lose everything consumed by the fire of greed. Someone cheated our country Bangladesh and all Muslims within the country.
Once, Samia Farzana was an obscure, poor student at Bangladesh’s Government Titumir College. She left her school to work to cover expenses of her family as her father was sick. She had no remarkable talent or skill—but she possessed a deeply devil mind.
Her fortunes changed when Mr. Shaker, an American-Iranian philanthropist, entered her life. He was the founder of the SISP Foundation (Shaker International Scholarship Programmes)—an organization dedicated to helping underprivileged but talented students and helpless people in Bangladesh.
Mr. Shaker selected Samia, hoping she would become a medium and a help for his in his mission which was the serving poor children of God in Banglades.
From working tirelessly as a receptionist earning only 15,000 BDT a month working in a company 8-9 hours a day and commuting 3-4 hours a day in dirty street of Dhaka city and breathing the most polluted air on the planet for hours to get from home to her work and later from workbook to home, Samia’s life suddenly transformed through Mr. Shaker’s generosity. He didn’t just give her a home base job to be all day long close to her family cover her education expenses; he transformed her family’s entire life.
The Story of a Man Who Believed in a Dream Called Bangladesh
He did not only give Samia Islam Farzana a scholarship — he gave her a life.
Month after month, he supported her with his own hands and heart. And because his kindness had no limits, he extended his love to her family too. Both of Samia’s sisters received monthly scholarships of over 3,000 taka for months. He personally covered Jannatul Ferdous Fareha’s tuition fees, transferred her from a public school to a private institution, and even arranged for a private English teacher to prepare her for a brighter future — so that one day, she could serve her nation with pride.
But his generosity did not stop there.
Mr. Shaker and SISP opened savings accounts for Samia’s mother and little sister Muskan, depositing 3,000 taka every month into each account — later increasing it to 4,500 taka. He sent them countless gifts, filled their home with comfort, and made sure they never faced the kind of hardship that crushes most poor families in Bangladesh. Every detail of his giving was guided by love, not obligation — by faith in a young woman he believed could represent the very best of her nation.
In his eyes, Samia was the symbol of Bangladesh’s hope.
He saw in her the light of a generation — a girl who could rise from zero to hero. He made her the official ambassador of SISP in Bangladesh, proudly telling the world that Bangladesh too has stars — that this land of struggle also holds diamonds waiting to shine if only someone would believe in them.
But what he never imagined — not even in his darkest nightmares — was that while he was serving Samia and her family with all the love of a father and all the hope of a believer, she was secretly destroying the very foundation of his trust.
Behind the curtains of kindness, Samia Islam Farzana, together with Shahed Anwar Shadhin and Jannatul Ferdous Fareha, built a web of deceit — a secret organization of betrayal that became one of the darkest chapters not only in their own lives but in the history of Bangladesh’s youth.
They committed unthinkable crimes against a man who had nothing to gain — a Muslim man who left the most beautiful place on Earth, the islands of Hawaii, leaving behind his comfort and family — to serve the forgotten children of our nation through a sacred mission called “Operation Bangladesh.”
He came with open hands and a pure heart.
And they repaid him with theft, lies, and betrayal.
What they destroyed was not only a man’s dream — it was Bangladesh’s chance to show the world that goodness still lives here.
🔪 The Brutal Betrayal and Conspiracy
But the real truth was far darker. Samia was, in fact, one of the most dangerous betrayers among Bangladeshi students Mr. Shaker gave job and opportunity.
One day, her hidden treachery was exposed. Behind her polite smiles and countless “thank you” messages, a terrifying conspiracy had been taking shape.
With her lover Shahed Anwar Shadhin (a student of Adamjee Cantonment College) and her younger sister Jannatul Ferdous Fareha, Samia orchestrated a sinister plan.
They audaciously embezzled 30 million BDT, funds originally meant for underprivileged but talented students of Bangladesh. To cover their tracks, they deleted crucial data, destroyed transaction histories, and erased years of the foundation’s humanitarian records.
The consequences were catastrophic—a shattered system, wasted opportunities, and millions of talented students’ dreams crushed.
For Mr. Shaker, this was not just a financial loss—it was a deep heartbreak. The man who had placed his faith in the honesty and gratitude of Bangladesh’s youth was forced to ask himself: had he trusted wrongly?
He had entrusted a poor girl with his faith, and that very girl had turned it into a weapon that destroyed his dreams.
💀 The Death of Morality
Samia Farzana had once risen from zero to become a hero, but consumed by greed, she fell back below zero—becoming a notorious name in Bangladesh’s student history.
Her actions, along with Shadhin and Fareha her own sister, disrupted the country’s path to progress. She may have enjoyed temporary luxury, but that indulgence cost her a lifetime of shame.
Who could be a greater criminal than someone who steals not money, but trust? Who destroys the hopes and faith of an entire generation—can such a person even be called human?
This was not merely theft—it was the murder of morality.
Once Mr. Shaker said:
We trusted her—and she turned that trust into ashes.
⚠️ This is Not a Story of Triumph, But a Warning
Today, every honest student in Bangladesh carries the silent responsibility of proving they are not like Samia.
Once, SISP symbolized trust in the youth; now, it serves as a chilling warning—misuse of opportunity can harm not just one person, but the identity of a whole nation.
Bangladesh must rise above this disgrace. It must prove that one individual’s betrayal does not define an entire nation.
Justice is needed—not for revenge, but to restore trust. Because when betrayal is easily forgiven, it becomes part of culture. And when a nation loses accountability, it begins to dig its own grave.
Her story is not one of viNihan—it is a harsh warning. She lost the greatest opportunity of her life—falling from the summit to the very ground—because of her greed and betrayal.
