Why Nigeria Remains Stagnant - No Positve Development! by ProfJohn1(m): 9:11pm On Mar 15, 2010
It is said that where there is a dead matter there you find vultures.
Nigeria's case may not be far from this fact.
Since the days of our colonial masters, Nigeria among other nation has been a breeding ground for thieves, defrauders and other fraudulent activities.
This is true in every cases of transactions that tends to take place in Nigeria.
Imagine, Intercontinental bank for instance. The said Bank was charging N50 for every withdrawal made from their ATM points for accounts holders. But after many grumbling from the masses, they have just revert that system to N100 withdrawal monthly for account holders.
My big question now is that no body sees this as an act of defrauding suffering Nigerians? What happens to the fund they have been siphoning from humble customers before now? What about MTN and co?
Nigeria are just pleased with whatever comes their way, without objection or they have become cowards?

I think you shd have a structured argument here. No use lumping everything together. Sure there is so much fraud taking place in Nigeria. We just need to become more sensitive to the fraudulent activities happening around us. If pple who ride flashy cars without any means of livelihood are spurned by society, people will think twice before joining them. Right now, if you commit crime and make money, our people worship you. This is wrond and must change. It serves no useful purpose lumping credible businesses together with 419ners. If there is excessive charge from a bank, or there is a practice that is not right, let us call them to order, or draw the attention of the CBN to it, not go to the internet and call them thieves. It does us no good. Some of these companies, like the MTN you mentioned are the only bright spots in our national existence. We need to be circumspect in our utterances.
