How Nigeria Name Is Being Tarnised Due To Internet Fraud by tuzle(m): 8:24pm On Feb 04, 2019
I was watching a Hollywood movie(Grand daddy daycare) and there was a scene were Nigeria was mentioned and I was not surprised that it involved internet scamming, and it took my mind to the movie gringo and one other movie which I watched last year where Nigeria was also mentioned for internet fraud.
The next thing that came to my mind was the bad name the comment from these movies had giving all Nigerians in general. Nigeria is now synonymous to internet fraud and these yahoo boys are spoiling business for well meaning Nigerians. I am not in support of internet fraud but Is it only Nigerians that do internet fraud?

It is not only Nigeria but Nigeria's case is well pronounced.

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. They 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?

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 Ikorodu, 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.
