Listen carefully to movie actors. They use Nigerians as examples in Internet scam movies. It is not only Nigeria but Nigeria's case is well pronounced. Nigerians are masters in Internet romance, fake adverts, fraudulent email, phoney email addresses, email and Web hacks, network equipment hacks, spurious wealth and property claims oriented emails, to mention few. Type "internet fraud examples" on Google and go through the links that will come up.

You see, it has become a big shame to sensible Nigerians both home and abroad. Every Nigerian you meet on the street has the tendency to dupe you at every opportunity. 

Have you wondered why every Internet fraud discussion must have Nigeria as example? It is a known fact that most of IP addresses traces, that involve in Internet fraud, are Nigerian. I have done it severally and that is the result. Unfortunately, our network provider will tell you to get police involved before they could give the user of the IP at that time.

You know why Yahoo boys and girls see Internet scam as legitimate business? You know how the students in Nigeria survive in their campuses?

When you compare what the other students all over the world produce and what we produce. You will begin to wonder why we will not be a laughing stock. Average Nigerian youth come together to strategise on fraud. We don't come together to discuss technological advancement, how to build a functioning satellites, travel to space, build superb military hardwares, develop great software. Or you don't think we should have Nigerian made Antivirus like Russian made Kaspersky? We have neglected a part of the holy book that says "... Help one another on good deeds and piety. Do not help one another on sin and aggression." Qur 5 v 2.

Nigerians survive and trend in fraud. It is a shame. Even those that should uphold the law aid and abet after being settled. Go to LASU, LASPOTECH, Unilag, UNICAL, UNIPORT, UNN, ABU, OAU etc and investigate the survival methods of the student. You will know we should take the lead in Internet scam negative glory.

There is no difference between Internet scammer and highway robbers. Let us encourage our children to desist from these activities. Monitor your children activities on the Internet. Most of them pretend to be good and manage in their respective schools. It is not about getting what the whites stole from our forefathers. Internet fraudsters know no nationale. They have duped other innocent Nigerians blind!
