I do not blame the author of this article at all. This is what we have brought upon our selves. Let's face the fact, Nigeria has the highest number of online scammers, maybe partly due to our population though. I'm sure everybody on this forum knows one yahoo yahoo boy or the other in the area. You see alot of jobless young guys all around driving exotic cars. They all claim yahoo yahoo is not a crime, they are simply reclaiming what the white men stole from our forefathers. A lot of them even go as far as seeking spiritual powers from herbalists and so on. Are there a lot of Nigerian fraudsters on the internet? Yes Do we have a very high number of corrupt leaders? Yes One point is 95% of Nigerians are corrupt and that's a fact. Everybody claims they're not corrupt but let them receive credit alert mistakenly. The last time someone returned 800,000 that was wrongly credited to his account, he was been cursed here on nairaland. ...but I must confess, the writer went overboard with the Unilag credit card claim. That is pure rubbish. 1 Like |

Allohrandy: it seems like you are among those scammer giving Nigeria a bad name because it takes a thief to know a thief. I know many Nigerians in the States and 99.999% of them are hard working and involved in legitimate businesses. Most of the crimes in my city are committed by Americans. I am not really mad at the writer of the article because she is ignorant and needs to be enlighten but I am really piss off your statement. So if a 20 years old Nigerian makes a lot of money and buys a home after spending a year oversea, it means that he is a scammer or a drug dealer. There are many young Nigerians making lots of money legitimately overseas without getting involved in crime. you sound like a Uncle Tom ( A black man during the days of slavery who will do anything to stay in good standing with "the white man" including betray his own people). Go and kiss Ann Coulter as5 he said a 20 year old goes abroad and starts to spend millions of dollars within a year. That is abnormal. For a 20 year Old, its abnormal. There is no crime in being suspicious and reporting to the authorities. They will come in and investigate. If he is clean then fine. I am guilty of this. I know some people who knows yahoo boys, and despite the fact that i cannot scam anyone myself, i cannot report these pple for fear of being termed "enemy of progress" by thier families. I have neva met them face to face, but u need to see the kind of cars this kids drive. Something wey my papa no go even dream. Are u telling me these guys are legit? All they do is club, party, smoke, drink, and later they will travel again to malaysia probably when the account is running low. I see a bright future for nigeria but it will take some time though. God Bless Nigeria |

Mr Aboki: Do i have to set my self ablaze for us all? When the same people that ought to be fighting for the better good of this country support corruption..... They Are in a naive bubble discussing about political parties, candidates that only care about themselves. i just try to be a good citizen and be of help to as many as i can, as i believe if every one of us can get the self awareness and consciousness of how we are connected to each other, and we begin to see ourselves as everyone else and vice versa. And we love eachother, and leave in peace. there would be less corruption and we would be in a better society. 1 Like |

What is this one saying? A white demented witch wrote a very demeaning, racist, derogatory and hate-inciting piece of trash against Nigerians for global consumption and all you could come up with is this incoherent, nonsensical and insensitive trash, SMH at you! probably you are still cocooned in one remote village in Nigeria and you feel you have nothing at stake here but I promise you that one day either you or a loved one will present the green passport only for you/him to be asked to step aside, then you will understand the magnitude of the bad PR and ethnic profiling this b!tch and her ilks could cause with such cheap blackmail. 2 Likes |

I am presently studying at Cranfield University....You would be amazed at the level of Ignorance some "oyinbos" display as regards information relating other ethnicity. Classes has become more of me lecturing them about the true situation on the African continent including Nigeria. They always make their judgement often based on information from their press. we need a media in the like of Aljazeera to truly project the image of Nigeria.If I told you some of the stuffs my lecturers say about Nigerians you would wonder who is truly knowledgeable on world affairs |

braine:stop being too negatively critical of what the op posted. In reality and I mean stridently lacking of all sentimental prejudice, Nigerian is the bane of global criminality coming so close so to be deified ''gods of criminality''.Now see this : the average monarch is in liaison with the average politician;the average politician administers the administration of the average thug for his benefit.The truth is that corruption in nigeria is an innate complex diversified magniloquent construct of a virus,that only common sense can kill. |

rexzqcom: Holly cow!!! What can i say? This is what has become of Nigeria. Though there is little exageration, the writer is not too far from the truth. our society is riddled with criminilities. Up from the so call leaders to the lower ones on the street. people dreams of getting rich without the thought of providing services to earn their keep. This mind set of something for nothing is killing our nation. wether we like it or not, this is our national credibility in th,e world. Other nations are raking their heads, spending sleepless night to create, invent, or discover things to elevate the human conditions, up lift, and improve living standards, thereby improving their own lots in life. No, nigerians want to lie, con, scan, steal, rob, and kidnap their ways to affleunce. we are not fooling anybody but ourselves. Though there are lots of men and women of reputible moral dignities among us, unfortunately, the empty vessels makes the loudest noise, thereby defining all of us. Something have to give. This nation has out lived its usefullness. It is a failed state. Big does not necessary equate great. The country need to be reconstituted to a smaller manageable parts. It's good to be defend ur country patriotically but unfortunately the truth is too difficult to conceal for too long... For how long can the few good ones amongst us continue to fight this lost battle of defending and upholding our non-existent integrity?? ... it is no news that we have a lot of bad seed in our nation.. and as empty vessels make the loudest noise, we are simply defined by the loudest sound our neighbors hear... U cant really blame the writer of the 'offensive' article and no matter how much we insult or try to gag these reporters, it doesn't change the truth which we all know.. 1 Like |

The most annoying thing about the poor write-up is that the writer couldn't explain to us what have been or could have been done to get rid of those known to have swindled the government medicare and medicaid by their fraudulent claims yet he or she is able to list them. Merely looking at the piece of information, this is one individual who is trying so hard to make his or her views emphatic enough to the American public by relating the failure to Russian fleet crashes and the Nigerian prince willing to exchange his inheritance for citizen's account number. That is clearly unappealing while reading it. There is every reason to say this is Yahoo-yahoo write-up for Yahoo boys(scams). |

I am an old hand at browsing the nairaland forum and I have never felt the need to join as a user or to run any commentary but felt a pressing need to do something in regards to this post and the myriad of responses that have been posited here. I am a thirty something year old who has watched Nigeria deteriorate from a beautiful promising country to a mere geographic expression that is currently run by brigands. However the country is still the only country I have and since we have allowed ourselves to be ridiculed all over the world by our actions or in actions it is time to start thinking of how we can get our country back on track. Let us dispense with the name calling and tribalism; roll up our selves and get down to brass tracks. The first thing we all need to do is begin to get involved from the grass roots up. Let us start challenging things, demanding for accountability and saying no to corruption. We can all get involved even the arm chair critics. The internet is a powerful weapon for activism, lot us begin to harness its powers. Join an advocacy group and pay attention to what the government and people in power are doing. It's time for less talk and more actions. Please sign up for action. If you don't know where to go then ping me here and I will send a link sharply. Thank you; all useful commentary and usual Naija insults very welcome. |
