Man Jailed For 'Six' Years Over Internet Fraud

Does anyone think if the tables were turned and westerners were the ones duping us, it would not be said that we are allowing ourselves to be defrauded because we're stupid?
If the perpetrators were the westerners and Africans were falling victims, will the Africans not be prosecuted for trying to make money fraudulently as well?

exactlyNo be uk u dey? am not suprise only tax go don dry all the blood wey dey ur body
Hope say u don pay Tv lincence for this month.

na today me sef just pay TV licence. The thing vex me £139.50 for BBC just to watch the news  

What funds were being transferred?

you tell me.

These judges are spineless, weird and derailed from penitent issues that needs tackling in this country.

Yahoo boys are not our problem in Nigeria, bad government remains our problem. If the dude was well educated and well employed he wouldn't have had time to browse enough let alone time for sending fraudulent emails.

How many years did Alamieseya spend in jail?  What of OBJ and his cohorts, have they been jailed? And a hungry, hussling guy that only attempted something was jailed 6 years. Nigeria nawaaooh, always pursuing rat (oke belgium) while the house is seriously on fire.

I just called that 070 number and I knew it had gone through to naija. I just told the idiot who answered that he is a rogue. I know that's not going to stop him trying it again anyway

with all due respect this is a baseless and completely misdirected post.

What of the other Nigerians who are not stealing? Why should they have to bear the opprobrium of being disgraced by the few trying to 'hussle'? Not everyone is stealing or doing yahoo yahoo, so why are you trying to excuse one man's failures as a result of someone else's mistakes? Alams stole so you should also steal? Arrant nonsense.

Is he the only jobless person in Nigeria? Is he the only person who is feeling unemployment? All this buck passing nonsense is the main cause of our problems - its always someone else's fault.

The truth is that Judges can only adjudicate on cases brought before them, they do not investigate or prosecute, they analyse evidence before them and decide based on that. If this man was indeed guilty, regardless of who 'caused' his situation, he has committed a crime and deserves to be punished. People in the US do yahoo yahoo, is it as a result of not being educated and what not? Criminality is still criminality, lets not excuse it under the guise of 'economic situation'.

We know there are people who deserve to be punished in Nigeria today, does that excuse this man's crime? If an armed robber came to your house and stole your life savings and was caught, would you say 'let him go - since OBJ and Alams did not get prosecuted'??

my guy u get time oo

u sef dial the number!lol

millions of letters are getting churned out from all stupid cyber cafes in the nooks and crannies of Naija

Nothin dey, na mugu or maga wey get wahala!

me i no fit mugu, mumu or maga!

very very very good lesson and God bless that judge of the court. Justice must prevail in Nigeria.

When I heard the news today, I was somehow pleased. But, that's probably one out of a thousand out there. 

GOOD ARREST ALL them HATERS

U bet the guy went to jail probably because u refused to share or compromise.

hey in naijaryders you get to know how many people are in a thread. is there such a feature here ? :Di want to become a fixture but i find it not personable to be here because you feel you are in a vacuum. you don't know how many people are in a thread and who they are etc etc

The victims must have been promised a huge cut in the imaginary funds. . . . That's the way it always work.
The frauudsters dangle carrots to motivate the victims to get em started and the rest is history.
Why can't the Nigerian judges sit down and put their foot down that it takes 2 to tango in these kind of shady deals.
It seems Africans are still mentally enslaved. . . . . .If a white man shytes. . . Africans would lick it with a grin on their faces.
It's pathetic!!!!
