I don't blame them. we Africans wash our dirty linens outside. Sometimes when I see what our youths post about Nigeria on line it's Heart Breaking. Go to Efcc page on Twitter all you see there is yahoo boys. They're disgracing their ancestors like all the bad people reside in Nigeria.

Go the FBI page on Twitter you Barely see pictures of criminal there it's not like they're not working but they protect their image.

Over 1000 Chinese youths were arrested in Malaysia few days ago have you heard about the News? When 87 Nigeria were arrested in the USA it was making headlines with the help of useless agency and youths who hate Nigeria.

Nigeria is not the best Country and neither the worst. We ain't patriotic at all. We think selling out the country will make us appear like angels but we're shooting ourselves on the leg.

Believe me Nigerians didn’t get a “reputation” by accident. Nigeria is the only country with a scam named after her. It’s even in the dictionary. Look up “Nigerian scam”. No other country has that distinction

Part of what he stated were fact while some were just his mere opinion. Why drag a man with something he did years back, may be out of emotions or trying to stay afloat in his industry

Doing something out of emotions or try anything to stay afloat in his industry is not quality of a good leader. That's why they said he's not fit to lead them.

Is as a result of bad publicity of our youths, security agencies and media houses. How many Nigeria can be named after Scam and yet we're not no 1list in the act. That shows you the negative impact in washing our dirty linen outside.

and arguing Islam has caused the Muslim world to be “literally centuries behind” the west.

In another column Johnson blamed single mothers for “producing a generation of ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate children”, saying that social housing was an enticement for them to become pregnant.

He added: “All the young people I know – ie those under 30 – are just as avaricious as we flinty Thatcherite yuppies of the 1980s in fact, they have an almost Nigerian interest in money and gadgets of all kinds.”


In the column on single mothers, published in the Spectator in 1995, Johnson wrote that “uppity and irresponsible women” had a “natural desire to have babies” and that ways must be found to ensure they married.

He is 100% Right about the above.
I careless about whatever he's gonna be hanged for aside the above.

Defend him all you want. Don't get upset when you start seeing videos of random people calling any Nigerian they meet scammer on the subway or bus or in the restaurant or hospital

Nigerian scammers are stealing BILLIONS of dollars

By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.

June 12, 2018 at 2:56 PM


The FBI said June 11 it made 74 arrests in connection with 419 Nigerian email scams. The Post's Cleve R. Wootson Jr. explains how these scams have managed to be so successful. (Allie Caren/The Washington Post)

Savvy people already know it’s a bad idea to trust an email from a Nigerian prince hoping to use their bank account to unload a dead relative’s vast wealth.

And they’re just as suspicious of the sudden Internet-based love interest with questionable grammar who needs a few thousand untraceable dollars to clear up a passport issue in time for a magical first date.

But in a sophisticated and terrifying evolution of the Nigerian 419 scam, web-savvy crime syndicates are figuring out ways to bilk U.S. citizens of billions.

On Monday, the FBI announced the arrest of 74 people across the world — including 29 people in Nigeria and 41 in the United States — who authorities say were part of complex international networks that combed filings by the Securities and Exchange Commission, spoofed CEO emails and successfully targeted even hardened employees whose jobs are to safeguard their companies from financial mismanagement.

The recent scams have the same DNA as the poorly worded emails that have been showing up in people’s inboxes since the 1990s. Instead of playing on hopes of finding love or lust for sudden wealth, they play on fears about missing a vital company payment or upsetting a boss’s boss.

“[Scammers] are doing their research … going onto company websites and looking for the right people,” FBI Assistant Director Scott Smith, who helped lead the investigation, told the Wall Street Journal. “They may even go as far as pulling annual reports and finding what companies they do business with and [impersonating] those accounts.”

Adeyemi Odufuye and his team, for example, sifted SEC records, company websites and other business documents, looking for the names and email addresses of chief executives, chief financial officers and controllers, court documents say.

Odufuye, who had a half dozen nicknames, including “Jefe,” the Spanish word for “chief” or “boss,” led a crew responsible for stealing $2.6 million, including $440,000 from one business in Connecticut, according to the Justice Department.

The schemes used a variety of tactics to gain people’s trust and steal their money, federal authorities say. They registered website domain names that were hard to distinguish from the companies they were targeting — impersonations meant to give emails an air of authenticity. Some of those emails arrived with malware attachments that would snap images of a victim’s desktop or transmit key log information — a hacker trick for nabbing someone’s password.

They even employed money mules whose sole purpose was to move the ill-gotten gains from account to account, authorities say, disguising the electronic paper trail from investigators.

Odufuye was extradited from Britain on Jan. 3. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft.


The arrests highlighted just how many people are falling for the latest iterations of the Nigerian hustle, as well as the staggering losses American businesses are accruing. According to FBI figures obtained by the Journal, victims of such scams reported $275 million in losses in 2015. By 2017, reported losses had more than doubled, to $675 million. And in the first quarter of this year, more than 4,000 victims reported $685 million in losses. The bureau estimates American businesses have lost more than $3.7 billion as a result of the schemes.

Since January 2015, the FBI estimated last year, there has been a 1,300 percent increase in identified exposed losses from similar scams. On Monday, the FBI issued a public service announcement about the scams.

Last year, FBI Special Agent Martin Licciardo, an organized crime investigator, said such crimes are “a serious threat on a global scale. The ability of these criminal groups to compromise legitimate business email accounts is staggering. … They are experts at deception.”

Nigerian scammers target businesses of all sizes, sometimes spending months studying a company’s organizational chart, the FBI said. They target people who frequently transfer large amounts of money and sensitive records in the course of business. They impersonate executives, human relations staff, law firms and trusted vendors. They usually insist that whatever bogus issue they’ve raised be cleared up as soon as possible, often by an immediate wire transfer. Discretion is often advised.

Any small thing people will scream Abach loot at the top of their voices, but never stopping to ask themselves how Abacha was able to have accounts across all the countries that imposed economic sanctions on his government. The countries were active collaborators in his looting

Just we have iPod supporting trump here, you wanna start Boris' support on nairaland.

Britain should be ashamed. They colonized almost half of the entire world for money, killed for it, oppressed for it,made it legal to steal n plunder other nation resources n now find gut to say other people like money

Nigeria is rated no. 1 on the list of countries with the highest numbers of scam perpetrators and yet this same country has the largest concentration of churches and mosques in the world.

Also, Nigeria is among the poorest countries in the world.

Can you now see your gods are useless, be it Jesus, Jehovah, or Allah?

All you religionists — your prayers, which you so much believe in, are useless.

You all can pray from now to the next 100 years, this country (Lord Lugard's failed experiment) will hardly change for the better.

I know this is too difficult to understand for a slave of those gods, who can't think independently. So, I already know your answer.

How will a country that has more churches and mosques than schools and research institutes grow to become a force to reckon with globally?

Boris Johnson is just a loud politician. He said he'd kill himself if he doesn't fix the Brexit deal by a given date only to start singing another melody when he realized failure was certain. He can say anything, I won't take him too seriously. He's just a politician after all. But wait ooo, an average Nigerian youth too kind of have a crazy, unquenchable love for money ooo. Truth be told, we like money.

Is the kind of society we find ourselves, if u don't have money, you have no voice. The rich oppress the poor.
So the goal is to be rich so as to not be oppress, intimidated and to have a say where your colleagues and peer groups are.

This queer parabolism can catalyze vociferous compendium.

an adage that says (a Rat that's inside the house gives the Rat in the Bush information that there's Meat inside the Pot) . Stop all this things you're seeing online in media Agencies all these foreign Agencies are like NTA over there their interest is to protect their image.

I saw a News about Scammers on NL the Nigerians involved in the crime pictures were displaced by the foreign security Agency.


but the American involved pictures were concealed.

Use your head there's no way I repeat there's no way an African will go another man country to perpetrate Fraud in millions of dollars without Internal collaborators that's FALLACY if you believe them.


We need complete News not just Nigerians we're not the only ones over 76 was arrested in the united states the world wanted to explode. Just last week over 1000 Chinese were arrested have you seen the news making headline lately? Imagine if it's a Nigeria case.

Sadly all what Boris is accused of seem truth to me, mostly his views about Nigeria, children of single parents and that of islam.

I am a Nigerian. You are the maggot. You are an example of the reason why Nigeria will never make progress and Nigerians will always be hated as a people anywhere in the world -- even within Africa, as they all attempt to empty this land and force themselves on other countries, to pollute those countries with their EVIL soul.

Lol... u just don’t understand what your country men are capable of and have perpetrated. There are over 200 countries in the world, believe me it is not by happenstance 9ja is regarded #1 in scamming. What u say cannot happen is exactly what happened - much of the west’s financial and credit system have always had holes that for some reason no other immigrant or native criminals ever took advantage of UNTIL Nigerians came along. U may find this hard to believe but Nigerians STARTED many of these now popular scams.

I laugh in Swahili. No need to explain further, do your own research on how BEC and credit card scam are being done. Like I said earlier use your head don't just assume what you see or hear on papers do extensive research.
