As evident in this article, the problem Nigerians have with corruption and stealing is that the loot has not gotten to them? Many of Hushpuppi's neighbours have no issues with the source of his wealth, they are upset he was not generous with it.
No wealth that crosses the billion naira mark is gotten from a clean source,they all have black spots.

Lol, this is not entirely true. When it comes to wealth, there is law of nature that controls it. Hence, for each generation, different family will be wealthy, while those once wealthy will go poor as subsequent generations passed.
Where or who was Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and the likes grandfather or great grandfather?
where or who is Andrew Carnegie, J.P Morgan's grand children and great grand children?
The thing is, no family can sustain wealth for generations, the law of nature will make it go in cycle.
wrong


The wealthy think of their generations before they're born,the accidentally rich think of the next party to impress or show off

Bill gates and co you're mentioning might have come from poor homes and experienced poverty but they decided/made up their minds that poverty will end in their own generation and LEARNT HOW TO SUSTAIN WEALTH

However the holy book also says wealth gotten or gathered by fraud develops wings and flies away so if you like plan all you like if the root or foundation of your wealth is from fraud/illegitimate means,it will not last.if at all it lasts,it will come with baggages e.g long term sicknesses etc.


Look at the money bags of the 90s who did fraud,where are they now?

Where is Chris sogunro?
Tafa baloguns family? Of course you don't need anyone to tell you the Balogun family now is stark broke.when the man was alive he was spending money recklessly on owanbe making it rain on musicians and loose women .

Yahoo-419 was started by IGBO people in the 70s and 80s.

It started with IGBOs buying good iOU from abroad on credit with fake names and refusing to pay later.

Then they upgraded to selling fake and contraband goods.

Some of the so called market ones who returned from Asia or abroad somewhere started sending telex, fax and later emails to mugus in foreign countries.

Some other Nigerians later joined.

The holy book says a fool and his money are soon seperated


If you are a fool and you have 500 billion,if you have poverty of the mind and brain, you will loose it


Hushpupi lacks wisdom.a rich man without wisdom will still go back to square one

Another issue is that he was not a giver.how can a woman who was good to you during your broke days just give her a paltry ₦5000


If at all you're stingy you should have helped her renovate her shop and give her better equipments for her buisness since she was a kind buisness woman

This days how many food sellers sell food with compassion?

He is also accused of not helping others with whom he started with on the streets.

It wasn’t until two years ago that he eventually took in Sikiru with him in Dubai, who got arrested with him in June when the Dubai police stormed their house, a source claimed.

“Sometimes, I will be with Sikiru and he will be on phone with Ramon, begging him to send money. Despite having a billionaire friend, Sikiru was still staying in this ghetto area,” another source explained.

As things stand now, that once-upon-a-poor-boy from Oworoshonki risks spending the next 20 years in an American prison if convicted.

Nobody saw a billionaire in Hushpuppi some 15 years ago when he roamed the dusty streets of Oworonshoki, Lagos, looking to wash cars for a paltry N100, and later returning to a food joint where he had beans and bread on credit.

In a philosophical reflection, using himself as a case study, he touched on how a child could feel rejected because of his poor background in his widely circulated 2017 “Letter to the Ghetto Kid”. It was about the same year Hushpuppi became a household name, as he had started using his social media page to flaunt his wealth.

With a sense of pride, Ramon Abass, whose dad drove a taxi and mum sold bread by the roadside in Oworonshoki, would say he represents “every underprivileged kid of the world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of Oworonshoki — where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a rented room.”

Of course, now sounding like someone who has made it in life, he concluded by advising that “dejected kid” not to give up, just like he never did.
Entering stardom, Hushpuppi claimed to be into real estate but this had been trailed by skepticism, with many wondering how the 37-year-old had maintained a luxurious lifestyle for years — from acquiring the latest automobiles, including Rolls-Royce and Ferrari, to hiring private jets to take him holidaying across the best spots in the world.

It didn’t come much as a surprise in June when he was arrested in Dubai, where he was based, with 11 of his associates over email scams known in the Nigerian parlance as Yahoo-Yahoo.

In the special operation dubbed “Fox Hunt 2”, the Dubai police had tracked Hushpuppi for about four months, and upon his arrest, it was alleged that the crimes committed outside the UAE, included money laundering, cyber fraud, hacking, impersonation, banking fraud and identity theft worth Dh1.6 billion (an estimated N168 billion).

The police also revealed that 1,926,400 victims were targeted by the syndicate.

Subsequently extradited to the US for trial on money laundering, his lawyer, however, insisted that Hushpuppi “became rich through real estate.”

The real estate claim is what some residents of Ogunyomi street in Oworonshoki would dismiss.

Now I know illegality is immoral and he is not the best role model for the younger generation but there is a positive side to his story and it just shows that you can be whatever you want to be in life if you are willing to pay the price and do what it takes.

As much as it may not be the right thing to say, it took a lot of effort for him to get out of poverty and become what he is today.

Hush is not the problem, hush is a product of a failed society. More kids like him will rise up from the ignored street.

This is just the beginning. Nigeria is currently in a state when every single person know atleast another person that is into fraud.

Not everyone can accept poverty.. Some will take laws in to their hands and leave that state

I wonder why yahoo Boys don't help people rather they lavish the money on alcohol , drugs and girls, imagine giving a woman that feed him on credit a paltry 5000 naira, I wonder what stops him from building a standard restaurant for her and I wonder why he didn't go into real estate business with the kind of money he has, wasted life.

It's a shame he had to resort to crime.

I'm also doubly annoyed that these types of grass-to-grace people never stop to think: "OK I don chop small, let me share some of the wealth and build a factory in the slum... even if na bag factory, to help raise my people out of poverty". I think "HushPuppi Bags" could have been an excellent brand.

Instead it's only "living my best life" posing with stolen funds. angry

Ah well, he lived his best life, and now he gets to balance it out with 20 years in American jail - which frankly is better than most slums.

Nothing concern us about hush. Make him deal with his folly.

By now he would have realised how stupid he has been all these while.
If he is convicted
All those money will be collected from him to the last Kobo.
His contacts will be gone.

He will be on the FBI, Interpol Radar.
He has no house, no investment. But well he ows an apartment in the hotel he stayed.

People said he had enjoyed. I wish he would think like that.
