I'm sorry, your understanding of slavery is very limited. Yes, slavery may have started off as an individual venture but once it proved lucrative it became a national trade. Not even the Brits began it but the Portuguise and Spanish and once it proved lucrative every other European country (Britain, France, Germany, e.t.c) wanted to be a part of the business. The monarchs made policies of who and what part of the world to explore which is why they were later able to return to those explored lands as administrators/governors i.e colonialists.

Slavery and colonialism were mass crimes against Africans. Nobody was exempted. It was not selective. Every African suffered.

And no, African Americans shouldn't be the ones to cry injustice. They were not Americans before they were kidnapped. They were Africans, our brother and sisters.
Are you even aware some of them are seeking their African origin?.
My point is not every white man was involved in slave trade , Karma is not in any mans hand to decide. crime is crime , no matter how we try to sweeten it.

Exactly my original point!. Whoever commits crime the law of karma will be waiting for them. If white people commit crimes in Africa, no matter how long the law of karma will not fail. That was exactly my original comment.

Don't get it twisted bro. There's no individual with a good mind who goes on to be part of the government and become coerced to steal. The seat is not the problem, but the individuals who sit on it. Like you, these people were once youths like you with a similar corrupt mindset like you. That's why when ever they get to that seat, all they think of doing is looting. They have that get rich quick mindset and probably blamed their government for the vice they were into. When they get into power, guess what they'll do? yes your guess is as good as mine.

The rot is with the individuals. Any of whom can make up the government at some points in their lives. These government people are Nigerians! They think and act like the typical Nigerian! I'm actually sure that most of the people who actually point fingers at govt will actually become part of the govt and do worse even! let's be honest! When we continue this blame game, we will never progress as a people. this rot is in most of us, that explains why anyone who gets to top positions in the country always want to steal all they can before leaving. That's now the modus operandi. we can never grow with that mindset.

The best way we can move both our country and ourselves is get rid of the criminal mindset and move forward. Work hard and make your own money. Think outside the box. If you have the brain to plan elaborate scams, Then you can use such mighty to brain to do something legit that might fetch you clean money! If you slave year in year out to make some money and one day someone comes to take it away, how will you feel! There are lots of people making a decent living from doing legit businesses. join them please.

As I said before, there's no justification for criminality. None at all.



You aren't getting my POINT... What i'm still saying is that BAD human behavior is the product of the environment and not because we are evil... I guess you're not a NIGERIAN, you talked about the SEAT just like it's a HERITAGE passed from one family to another, or just a mere SEAT in the sitting room.. Forgetting that NIGERIA politics is even corrupt, who has ever gotten to that SEAT without any form of fraud? whether bribery or whatsoever. The practice of godfatherism has become one of the greatest problems facing the Nigerian political system, i guess you aren't seeing it from that angle. 2015 election is around the corner so many negative stories is springing up already. All these things are factors.

The past 15yrs years has been a record of corruption of highest order from one government administration to another. Millions of youth corp can't secure a job after year of service due to high rate of unemployment. So much to talk about. Very acceptable, i still subscribe to your point about no justification for criminality and we should cultivate the habit of good work. But there is need to consider the CAUSE AND EFFECT factors, Until then we can provide solution to this problems and build a better nation.

A Nigerian man, Adewale Adewole based in the UK, is now facing jail time after admitting to four-count charges of fraud, Daily Mail reports.


Adewole is said to have used a picture of an actual Royal Marine Commando called Joshua McGowan, as his display picture.

Sources say he told the women he had been robbed at his “orphanage,” and so they sent him money and paid his bills. Unknown to them, Adewole was diverting the money into his wife’s bank account. He also spent the money on expensive designer clothes, iPads, and TVs.

Investigations revealed that whenever he set up dates with the women, he would never show up.

Prosecutor, Charlotte Brandon told the court.

The married father of two allegedly scammed the women out of almost £100,000 after pretending to be a Royal Marine on Match.com, named Timmy Francis, who owned an orphanage in Africa. On one of his profiles, he had the nickname ‘Charismatic Brit,’ and on the other, ‘To live and love.’ He claimed he was looking for love.

“‘Adewale told the women that on a trip to Africa, he was the victim of a crime and needed money. The crime meant he could not access his own funds.

He said they would get their money back and would be sent letters from the World Health Organisation to show that he would be able to pay them.

These letters were sent, but from an M30 Manchester postmark. He also sent them links to websites which, when logging in with details he gave them, appeared to show that he had a huge bank balance and would eventually be able to pay them back.

One woman was asked to pay for a hotel for him.

When she rang the number he gave her for the hotel, they also confirmed the information and she agreed to pay it.

She later received a cheque addressed to him for £35,000 to prove he had money, but this was later discovered to be a stolen cheque forged in his own handwriting.

Over a number of months, each woman transferred significant sums of money via bank accounts and Western Union moneygrams and sent items to the defendant’s home address.

They bought electronic items, took out credit cards and loans and bought clothes from Next.

When police searched his house in 2012, they found a digital camera, which had been purchased by one of his victims. It contained pictures of the accused, along with his wife and children. They also found several SIM cards in his wallet, which contained the women’s contact information.

He was also in possession of two Blackberry phones which had three different email accounts linked to the two Match.com accounts. In addition, £4,500 was found under his bed. He was subsequently arrested.

However, Adewale has denied the allegations, and has blamed the fraud on his flatmate Samson Ajayi. He told police that Ajayi had told him to help him transfer money to his relatives. He also claims that he vaguely remembers using match.com.

“The fraud was Samson’s idea. I got involved because I had a few financial difficulties at the time.

“I did not speak with the complainants. I did not know money was being sent to Nigeria but I knew it was being sent to my bank account and my wife’s bank account.

“I do not know where Samson is at the moment. He travels a lot. I have no idea about the details of this fraud. I didn’t even know how many victims there were.

“But I pleaded guilty because if I had not let my bank account or flat be used, these women would not have suffered in the way that they did.

“Samson said he was expecting some money. He said he had no bank accounts to receive the money so I wanted to help him. He was owing me rent at the time and this was the only way he could pay me”, he said.

The court hearings are still ongoing.

So are you telling it's only NIGERIANS committing crimes all over the places? We are debating over this issue because its a crime committed by Nigerian ...What will you say about terrorist act? Which is even more deadly and cruel? Who are you going to blame?? I have said it over and over i'm not the type who support criminal act, but no matter how criminals are being caught, it won't stop this act... We need a reform in NIGERIA as a nation. A good government who have the love of masses in their heart with transparency and corruption free, more programs to empower youth. When the land is not fertile you can't expect a good harvest..

because your other neighbour is a criminal is not a reason to commit crime . The problem with majoritty is they always seek to point fingers and put blames on others . why dont you choose to do the right thing . what do you gain in making other people cry . always condemn evil when you see one.

Even the so call western countries have their youths committing one crime or the other different from the crime committed in this part of the world... Some crime are peculiar to some group as a result of ENVIRONMENT. Condemning evil won't just stop this act, it is being preached about on TV, churches and mosques , it's a social phenomena and there is need to study the causes of this act and make effort to limit it. All aspects of human behavior are affected by both nature and nurture, nature determines the range of our human potential. Nurture affects the ways that our human potential is actualized, being helped or hindered by good or bad environmental inputs.

I will keep saying this...BAD human behavior is the product of the environment and not because we are evil.

I still stand as a team who will say no to criminal act..
