Read my piece again bro....especially to the last word when I say America’s banking and financial institutions are weak and somewhat porous I have my reasons and if you’ve any idea on the different tricks and scheme used in perpetrating these crimes you’d agree...and in terms of support there’s no part in my piece where I supported internet fraud or these scammers I only said something bout the American system making it way easy for most of them and btw is wasn’t talking bout romance scam here.

Goldenfinger:
...sir am interested throw more lite

EliteBiz:

Are they blacks It seems you don't know the curse on blacks, Go down the history lane, not the false history that the western world feeds the world, the true history, it is hidden. I am confidently telling you something is spiritual, but I sound dumb to you, I understand, its expected.

bright007:

American visa issuance to Nigerians just got more elusive.

Before they use to give one person in every 20 that visits. Now it will be one in a hundred.

Tueeer!

This country is a sshit hole

Thank God no time to abuse igbo or Yoruba

If only Nigerians know the opportunities we are losing as a nation on the internet.
My frnd changed is ip address today and tried assessing online opportunities.. Coman see as opportunities plenty.

The most painful thing is that these opportunities ain't available to Nigerians... Nigerians are barred.. Ordinary south Africans can explore it
Meanwhile our people still praise fraudsters not knowing these people have tarnished our image outside.


I went to bank today to collect western union, just less than 30 dollars oo. Immediately I mentioned WU to the security men, see how they created chance for me among plenty crowd....

They think I am part of those yahoo boys.. Las Las I still settle them o coz they were asking for sumtin.. Anybody dt wants to collect WU is a gee boy for their face.. Chai naija

GidiWoodsMan:


Nigerians are GREEDY! The greedy behaviour is so normal among everyone these days and it's actually scary and unnatural at the same time!

Firstly - Cyber crime (yahoo yahoo) can't stop in Nigeria, obviously.

Secondly - There will gradually be more restrictions and harsh treatment on Nigerians all over the world.

Thirdly - Nigeria as a country is currently at the edge of collapse (Economy, Security, Terrorism infact everything...... Everything about Nigeria is going backwards on a fast speed).

In conclusion - The Problem of Nigeria is Nigerians and not only leaders. We are our own problem. Truth is bitter. GREED is in the soul of 99% of Nigerians at the moment.

Solution - This country needs serious prayers, spiritual aide, physical realm can't handle nigeria's issue at the moment. If you can pray, please let us pray, Nigeria's issue is beyond physical, it is grace that we receive that we never collapse, sincerely. Pray for your country!

And for those calling for split, be aware that if that occurs, it can't happen peaceful, people will die. Pray

Nigeria should have ruined a long time, it is the little prayers that is buying time, The spiritual controls the physical. Now, more prayers are needed, sadly, People don't believe in prayers anymore, sincerely, please Pray!

EliteBiz:

Nigeria(most blacks) is a spiritual nation, go and check your history. Values and all will start from within. The Spiritual controls the physical. Research.

GMBuhari:
so your suggestion is prayer ? how about rioting , revolution, mass abduction of politicians, forcing them to release their properties to the fg, lynching their relatives, and their enablers all over the country ?

This country does not need prayers, if that's what you needed over 5 million churches in a few states alone, God himself would have come down to settle the scores

What we need is a very revolution, bloodless or bloody , no matter how much you lie to yourself, Nigeria's problem is the kind of leaders we have

Yes, i am pro buhari and i am proud of that, but those who surround him are vultures

senators , HOR, Governors , aides, PA , heads of ministries , every political appointees are all enriching themselves

How much pallatives have you gotten so far ? our resources , national wealth is enough to make Dubai envy Nigeria , but no , one person stole $20Billion plus and bought citizenship of a country who doesn't extradite it's citizens

Your law makers, your so call economic and financial crimes comission, your ICPC , your airlines , your police force , your customs / border patrol ,
all have failed you because once palms are greased mouths are shut

CORRUPTION OF YOUR ELITES is why YOUTHS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES TO THIS LEVEL

CanadaOrBust:


I keep seeing this “the Spiritual controls the physical” everywhere. Please what proof do u have about that sir? Can u please give us a solid example where the spiritual controlled the physical. Or we should believe it simply because it sounds nice? All evidence around us suggest that the physical controls the physical, though the spiritual can sometimes have impact. We are now dealing with corona, eventually what will ameliorate it is physical vaccine, just as was the case with other pandemics. We were defeated and colonized by Europe because they had better physical power - guns. Same way WW2 was won - physical atomic bomb. Etc. If u have equivalents of these vis a vis spiritual, please present them.

I read to the end. I only had problems with the order of your presentation. It would have been better if you had criticised the crime and the criminals before calling out the limitations of the victim. But you called out the victim before going ahead to criticize the crime and the criminals. Like they say, we should chase away the kite before blaming the hen for exposing its chicks.

Back to your argument on the limitation of the US banking system being the reason for its predicament; fact is, majority of the scams targeted at the US from Africa are business or romance scams and, unless you have technical details, I'm vehemently disagreeing with the porosity of the American banking system being the reason behind the victimization of its people. I am into IT so I know there is always room for improvement but going by the data on ground, technical porosity is not the major issue here. I stay in North America. I've also stayed in Nigeria. American banks are more tech dependent than banks even in Asia so naturally, tech crimes are higher. But like I said, there are factors that kept them in this position and it's not because thier security outfit is weaker than that of other countries who are not targeted as much. Many other countries use banking technologies imported from the US. The reason the US is targeted is far more sociological than technical. I will give you five:

1) Social ties. America has more social ties with the rest of the world than any other country. Virtually all thier social media platforms are universally used. (Nigerians don't use QQ, the Chinese version of Facebook). This makes them more exposed.

2) Immigrant influx. Immigration comes with good and bad. The US has the highest number of immigrants in the world. It is also the first destination choice for Nigerians. Logically, the crimes from landed immigrants will be higher than in any other country.

3) Linguistics. We only have 6 countries in the world that speak English natively. For most cyber crimes to take place, a common language is needed. This makes the US one of the six most targeted countries by Nigeria cyber criminals. Other factors listed here make then stand out.

4) Currency strength. These scammers aim at missions with great revenue and scamming people off powerful currencies offer just that. Of the English speaking countries, the US has the second strongest currency.

5) Susceptibility. Like I said in my first post, the average tech user in the western world is more likely to fall for these scams than the Nigerian counterparts.

In summary, the US banks are not the safest in the world. It doesn't even come close those of Canada and Europe and like every other part of IT, there is room for improvement but the reason for the cyber crime victimization from Africa is less technical as the so called porosity is not to th extent where a 12 year old or (according to your first post) would easily break in.

The US has what I'd call a 'big country' issue.

I like you, You explained your words well. But this is where wisdom is, The things we can see with our eyes (Physical realm) is just 1% of the whole package. The spiritual is the real deal. Let me ask u a question, if you decide to steal money tomorrow, where is the thought gonna come from? Answer me

Nairalandmonika:

U were making sense until u said Nigeria need serious prayers.

Excuses as usual... The system is worse in some other countries, but their citizens don't indulge in internet fraud!!!

Our values are poor and immoral as a society, nation, and people...

We give undue honor to wealthy people regardless of their sources of wealth.

We don't acknowledge the value of honesty and integrity!!!

Crispels:


False. Many Nigerians will claim that bad leadership and unemployment in Nigeria is responsible for high rate of cybercrime among young Nigerians but that’s not true. Take these idiotic young guys to California and they will rather scam than work! I live in the US and I’m talking based on experience. The major issue here is greed, covetousness and a lack of patience. There are many people abroad - where the system works and they have access to jobs. Yet, they refused to work legally but chose to toe the path of internet fraud. Why? Because they want to ride Benz, buy expensive stuff and live an underserved luxury life. Life is a process. You can’t expect yourself to start today and get there tomorrow. Things take time. And the worse part is that Nigerians don’t the harm being done to the country. Nigerians need to stop celebrating and glorifying cybercriminals
. Those guys are ruining the image of the country.

Carlyboi:


I agree with some of the things you said and as for the factors you listed every educated,enlightened and exposed person knows some of those are highly probable reasons for the US been the biggest or worst hit but like I opined you also later agreed maybe reluctantly that their Banking and financial institutions and systems aren’t among the most secured in the world and for a country which has not billions of dollars to cyber crime and internet fraud related activities say for the last 30yrs they need to absolutely do better...if the security is tightened it would be a lot harder for these boys to keep emptying the wallets of average Americans.

Trust me right now those boys are having a free passage and making a killing for their illicit and heinous crimes and also maybe public sensitization would do a lot of good for their citizens generally especially in situations whereby the victims release their personal info and banking info card details to these fraudsters for whatever reasons not that they were stolen or hacked.
