Edojoma:



I will use drug cartel gang as an example.

Informant in a cartel is a policeman/anti drug agent dat is well trained and sometimes always put on wire. And he is planted there by d anti drug angency to get information about d organization like their leadership structure, modus operandi, cells, and so on.


While a snitch is someone already in d cartel, working with u, sometimes for years but is giving out information to anti drug agency with monetary reward, or blackmail dat he won't be investigated or jailed wen dey take d cartel down, or using d security of his family to get info from him.

So in conclusion, a snitch is someone dat is in ur team dat has a deal with d anti drug agency

While an informant is someone planted by d angency and it's usually his job not an agreed deal or gain.

they're the same thing, it depends on the person describing them. A policeman will never call anyone a snitch, they'll call the person informant while the criminals will do the opposite

PAQ:
A snitch knows the subject personally & deals on firsthand information.

An Informant acts on hear say, gossip, eaves dropping, first hand or second hand information, may know the subject or not.

An Informant comes out willingly with information some times for a reward or gratification mostly because he is aggrieved.

A snitch is mostly coarsed, cajoled, into spilling the beans as a condition for avoiding justice or lesser punishment.

Informant: external.
Snitch: internal.

An informant to you is a snitch to me and a snitch to you is an informant to me, if we were against each other

An informant is someone who provides information about something someone has done or is about to do. An informant may not necessarily be a member of the group or clique planning or carrying out the act. An informant could be a neighbor, colleague, or someone outside the group.

However, a snitch is someone who belongs to the group planning or carrying out the act. A snitch is present during the planning of the act and may even carry it out on behalf of others.

Additionally, being an informant can be a professional occupation.

What is the different between ( informant ) an (Snitch )

Informant is the official name
While Snitch is the street name for a betrayal

Informant: is an outsider planted to watch over your dealings and report to his/her employer...

Snitch: is a known person, and insider, that you do all things in common but is out to destroy you by giving out information about your escapades.

Beware of a snitch.

A group of boys talking and one of them said 'he is a snitch, he will soon die'.

Omo, penalty for being a snitch deep gan o, Don't be one!

Informant works for the police while the snitch will work with anybody

Same - The Police will call you an Informant , the people you are reporting on will call you snitch.

ozoono:

The both deals with giving out informations, but for informant the activities can be lawful or unlawful why snitch the activities is always unlawful,
Shud I send my details for small blessing

What the different between details and information

This is the Greatest Nigerian leader alive. He gives and gives and gives. He practically empties himself for the wellbeing of others.


On the flipside, the Lagos Ibadan cabal that have captured Nigeria are looking for new ways of milking taxes and monies out of Nigerians who are already poorer than poor.

the key difference lies in the nature of the relationship with authorities and the underlying motivations for providing information. An informant is often seen as a collaborator with law enforcement, while a snitch is seen as someone who betrays their associates for personal benefit.

A snitch just tells on your sorry arse because he hates your gut or is trying to please somebody

An Informant is planted with clear mission to get as much information as possible...

A snitch is someone who is betraying the cause for personal gain...
