big-t:

but u cant just judge like that cos our leaders take a chunk of our money Somewhere and somehow, we are realising it . Take it or leave it, the youth practising yahoo, celebs pushing drugs and our leaders embezzling money will never end until a revolutionary purge occurs in nigeria! On a more serious note, i dont support yahoo yahoo!

jay bee: Eliminating corruption from top to bottom ain't gonna work in Nigeria, at least not in this generation.
The average teenager wants to drive the latest range rover sport/x6 and off course doesn't wanna work to get such. This mindset needs to change before we can move forward as a nation.

We all have a role to play if we truly believe we want Nigeria to get better. Let's start asking the right questions from those family members, friends, neighbours with sudden wealth and no verifiable income whatsoever.
Don't be deterred in fishing these gunz out because the police or efcc are perceived to be part of the problem.

991:

and your point is....?? you know it really pains to see ur mates drive around town in range rover so you assume every sudden wealth is yahoo yahoo abi? shame!
Hunger is Real my dear, the name of the game is SURVIVAL. mr. lekke or whatever he is called can jump into the lagoon or hug any transformer nearest to him. nigeria's problem is political yahoo yahoo, and NOT youths trying to survive.

jay bee:
All my mates driving such vehicles have VERIFIABLE income.
It's very painful to hear youths attributing the rise in yahoo yahoo to survival instincts. Why aren't youths in chad, somalia et al resulting to defrauding people for money whilst tarnishing the image of their respective countries

Revolva: They should all STFU !!! Before I give somebody called leke a backhand slap...
Is it only nigeria internet scams are perpetuated .. . . . . . . . . . . so why won't young folks use the little idea they have to survive - . . . . . . . .
Efcc and the rest should tell us truth about money recovered from politicians and why tafa balogun cecilia and bode george even bankole were not stated ..

modelmike7: . . . . . . . . . So because internet scams is being perpetuated in other countries, that gave us as country the right to go into it you mean?. . . . . . . . . And d little idea to survive is to go into internet scams?. . . . Oh My God! Imagine the mentality of a Nigerian youth!! God save the future of our dear nation!!!. . . . . . . . . . . The only point i see in ur post is about the where the money recover from d corrupt politicians is? . . . . . But all ur other points are an eye-sore. . . . . WHAT A MENTALITY!!!

991:

because 9ja youths are smarter than youths in chad and somalia.

justwise: Two Nigerian fraudsters, whose global £2.7m scam had deadly consequences for one family they mercilessly ripped off, were jailed today.
Police identified a total of thirteen victims all over the world, who each lost an average of £207,000, after the duo convinced them they were due an Australian lottery pay-out, inheritance, investment benefit or were sold non-existent heavy plant machinery.

Obinnam Nwokolo, 37, of 20 Chesworth Close, Erith, who amassed a valuable property portfolio in the UK and Nigeria, received six years and four months and Uchechhukwu Onuoha, 40, of Aspen Green, Erith, who entered this country on a student visa, received five years and two months.

Both pleaded guilty at Croydon Crown Court to conspiracy to defraud between October 1, 2008 and September 15 last year.
One of their victims, Betty McClellan, 62, of Hyde Park, Los Angeles was shot dead by her husband Hersey McClellan, 63, who then shot himself on June 20, 2010 after she wired £264,000 — blowing the couple’s hard-earned pension.

She transferred the sums to accounts controlled by fellow Nigerians Sergius Ene, 44, of 111 Rushden Gardens, Ilford and Osas Odia, 33, of 15 Windrush Court, Chichester Wharf, Erith, who both admitted conspiring to launder criminal property.

Ene, who received sixteen months in March for a £27,000 Euromilions lottery scam on an 83 year-old Northampton pensioner, was jailed for two years and eight months. for laundering £342,400.
The accountant, a former Haringey Council housing benefit officer, drove a Mercedes with a personalised ‘ENE’ number plate. He is currently appealing deportation and it was revealed the mother of his three children entered into a sham marriage with a French citizen of African origin just to stay in the UK

pekelepekele: One thing Nigeria government do not know is this . A country that doesn't care for the youth or the elders , a country where you are celebrated when you steal billions and lot of people keep dieing at different hospitals because they can't pay their bills . A stupid country that hell fire is better than , You shouldn't be surprised seeing different kind of behaviors . Yahoo Yahoo is not good but let me ask this question who among the Yahoo boys during his childhood will say it is Yahoo he wants to be doing in the future? It is this God damned country that is turning people to criminals many people are willing to read and behave well but there is no support at all from the Government.

Ordinary stable electricity we don't have , I read on NL here the way people were saluting one man called OBJ a man youths were suppose to do a private meeting and storm his house and burn him and his entire family to death.

To hell with anyone that accuses Yahoo boys again am not into it but hmm he no easy for poor man pikin ooo!!! . If you are born with silver spoon in your mouth Give thanks to the Lord.

If an army point ak47 to Bill gate forehead and another army point another ak47 to a street beggar forehead. If both army shoot na die both of dem go die oo. ORIOKUORILO wake up Nigerian youths these people are eating our future but still arresting and killing the youths for using alternative way to make money.

Nigeria situation now is FIGHT NOW OR DIE LATER

I sorry sorry oo , I sorry for Afica .
I sorry sorry oo , I sorry for Nigeria!!!. ---- Fela Baba RIP

jay bee: ^^^^
Nailed it

Someone here telling me our youths commit cyber-crime cos we are smarter. What a lotta bull crap
Why don't they channel the smartness into being the next Mark Zuckerbeg

Techwriter:

So far this comment has the highest like confirming the Nigerian fraud status. Some people that come here practice it and and they excuse their consciences by blaming the government as the cause. What we fail to know is that our leaders are not imported. They come from within us. A bad people and system will always throw up a corrupt result apologies to Jesus. Let's repair our ends and start frowning at evil and the leadership will naturally take care of itself. Stop waiting for govt/leaders to change before you change or do sometn to stop evil in your society

pak:


Keep deceiving yourself
CRIMINALS are CRIMINALS because they are CRIMINALS.

CosmicJames:

Agreed. Right now I have a perfect opportunity to yahoo the world from Nigeria as a Nigerian but I refuse because I'm not a criminal and can't be one. But let's face the truth, our government should help us.

Nigeria is not business enabled!

Ask Seun Osewa that you mentioned and he will tell you what struggle he has to face in the early days of NL with regard to power supply. (That struggle has not stop till date)

How many factories have closed down, an how many cannot start because they can't generate enough energy to power their businesses which is a major cause of unemployment in this country?

We are not asking for too much; let our government provide just the basic infrastructures and Nigeria will experience the change we are looking for.

navygrl: I hope they do start seriously prosecuting these Yahoo boys. I have plenty of names with pictures of many culprits I would be more then happy to turn over to the authorities including my ex and his brother.

pak:


Keep deceiving yourself
No godammed country is turning people into criminals. CRIMINALS are CRIMINALS because they are CRIMINALS.

The situation in Nigeria is extremely terrible, agreed but
then come to think of it -
Are we the poorest country in the world ?
Is the employment rate in Nigeria the worst ?
Is the Nigerian Naira the most devalued ?

Then why are we committing crime left , right , centre like devils and some people are here justifying it in the name of what's not.

The question is from whence did our leaders come from ? Pluto ?

They came from the midst of crime justifying individuals like we have on this thread.

Seun Osewa came from a poor background and is and extremely smart techie ? Why is he not using his intelligence to commit internet fraud (simple because he is not a criminal !!!).

And one thing that punctures all these, it is the government that caused it argument is - Why is it always committed by a section of the country ?

You hardly ever, ever hear a Northerner involved in internet fraud and yet that is arguably the poorest region in the country.
(Agreed, Northerners have their own problems too, but that is a topic for another day).


We should all rise up to condemn this exceeding greed that is eating us up as a people. (I just hope very soon people/Nairaland peeps will not start justifying kidnapping and armed robbery)

The corruption of the so called leaders is inexcusable, so is the level of criminality amongst the youth. I used to think that youths are supposed to be leaders of tomorrow ??

naijathings:
who is holding you or stopping you from running to the nearest police station?
or are you looking for someone to give you 30 pieces of silver before you do so?
na only you sabi dem.
na for your mouth dem go hear say IBB na thief.

navygrl: being I do not live in Nigeria and my phone calls and emails have not been responded to the best I have managed is to report them to the FCC in the us which without assistance on the Nigerian end there is not much that can be done. Even when I turned some in while in Nigeria, I simple bribe was all it took for them to avoid going to the police station talk less about jail

Revolva:
Na you holy pass but if you ex come call you say I bought you a car or a golden watch you no go take ,,, na for your mouth FCC go hear say IBB na thief !!! Better no dey cast nigeria even the FCC in america or europe sef are not clean as well ,,,

born2fuck: navygrl: why waving on vehicle that dropped you and left on its own, since your ex has divorced you, you do not need to be crying or making an attempt to bring him down, EFCC will not answer someone like you because you maybe making a false allegation, both of you kukuma dey ate the money together when you were together and why didn't you make report, why wait until he abandoned for you another girl. Are you not his exboss since he has been working and delivering his money to you to be buying pantss and bra,fast foods and braziilain hair, he has abandoned you now,why the cry...I do not support your ex but I don't like wide mouthed woman .... Abeg go siddon with your current dick and leave your ex alone
