sentencing those accused of internet fraud to prison is not the best solution to curbing their rampage in Nigeria. my observations as an undergraduate was that ; 3 out of every 10 male undergraduate and unemployed graduates are into internet fraud and 4 out of every 10 undergraduate across higher institution in the SS, SE and SW are aware of of every techniques and softwares, apps employed to defraud a foreigner online. if the EFCC should continue jailing everyone caught in internet fraud I'm sure vast majority of our youths will become an exconvict soon, which may bring enormous shame to this country. imagine a situation where about 1000,000 agile youths and nation builder between the age of 19-29 are were all exconvict. The government should look into the causes of internet crime and how it can possibly be curb, they should introduce a course in both elementary and higher institution of learning to change an average Nigerian ideology, mentality about yahoo yahoo as a surest means of making it in life, Gov should create more jobs، empower the youth and create enabling environment where business can thrive.
