Imanuelle: As dey took from us


so we took from them

Let me guess, you are a yahoo boy. And its a shame to try to justify your shameless act and in turn encourage others with your position.

419 is barbaric and nothing u say can justify it. Its a shame that the whole nation is labelled bad because of a few

inikamoze: How could you all believe that piece of lame report??
In 1949,what was the dollar rate to the naira that would pre-empt a Nigerian to want to "scam" a pen-pal of dollars?
In 1949 wasnt Nigeria a 'Paradise" under the British colony?
Didn't parents "telewire" funds from Nigeria to their wards schooling abroad?
How many Nigerians rush abroad for better life if not for educational purposes and to earn a Degree after which they all come back to take up well paying jobs here in Nigeria?
Wasnt the chances of getting a job after the then "Standard 6" high?
Prior to IBB's regime,the dollar exchanged for less than a Naira,it was during IBB's regime that the dollar shot up from less than 80kobo to a dollar to almost a Naira to a Dollar and then it started skyrocketing after IMF "conned" Maradona into unneccesary borrowing and devaluing.
If you say that piece was written during the 90's and happened during the 90's prior to the proliferation of the computer and internet in Nigeria,I'd believe,but 1949?? Mba...No no...iro..babu.

The idea is to get something for nothing, which makes it a scam!
You were right about the situation in the country but no matter how good the economic is, there will still be greedy people, lazy people, scammers and poor people.

Your calculation is INCOMPLETE because the certain "Prince Richards" was 16years old at the time,1949.So u still need to add 16years to 64years and if my Maths is still intact,that should come to 80years.So Tinubu and OBJ are certainly out of the question.It may be your Grand Pops wink grin grin grin grin

Dude, seems u dont know what scam is all about. Scam is when a country goes to another country with the aim of helping them fight war and at the end, they ended up siphoning their oil. # bye angry

Lol...now that's funny. I disagree with focus...while being raped and pillaged? The only reason why the colonial times SEEM better is because they made THEMSELVES more comfortable because they lived amongst us. Only black stooges gained some benefits which were actually crumbs at the feet of the master's table. The focus you talk about was not for us but for them. The reason why things are bad right now is because those black stooges were left in power and the imperialist had not interest in making them comfortable, so they resorted to corruption to make themselves comfortable...in the true sense of independence, I don't see what Nigeria actually gained independence from. There was no independence.

vladimiros:

i will do anything to go back to colonisation

we had focus then
