Invictus Obi: How I Lost Of An Offshore Design Project by ThreeEyedRaven: 10:54pm On Aug 28, 2019
Hello everyone reading this.
I'm writing this with pure anger in my heart cause I became one of those who's taking the repercussions of the fraudulent activities being perpetrated by some Nigerians home and abroad.
Recently after the FBI disclosed the identity of some Nigerian syndicate cyber crime gang and ever since, brought bad publicity on the country that some organisations stopped their operations in Nigeria and now the moment you mention yourself to be a Nigerian at any international space, you become a potential scammer. A friend was telling me about two developers who recently lost their remote jobs I was sceptical till I also received my share of the humiliation today 28_08_2019

I hereby urge all Nigerians engaged in one fraudulent activity or the other to quit immediately. Please ask yourself what your children would say to you the day they discover what you are into? There are several decent lucratice fields of economic engagements that you can venture. The advent of computer age in as much as it's feared to be taking away some jobs, it's also bringing up new job roles that are decent and lucrative. Please please and please stop bringing shame upon your generations unborn, your families and the country as a whole .

Nigerians are one of the most smart and intelligent people on earth please use your intelligence for the benefit of humanity. Thank you as you listen to my sad cry.
Below was my experience today

Take heart bro.

Yahoo helps those who help themselves.... Sorry, I mean heaven not Yahoo.

Fraud isn't worth it if your would tarnish the image of a whole country, the only way this country will be sanitized from Internet fraud is setting a death penalty for any convicted internet fraudster.

What was the government doing since before the crime became prevalent so much like these? Now it’s difficult to curtail. They should increase jail term of cyber crime from 6 months to 25 years minimum.

Well, sorry bro. I don't see where you mentioned you are in Nigeria before said that or is your profile showing a Nigerian?

Well, here is my advise... You can not build real business on platforms like that. Get into a real business because you are not even safe on there.

I know a lot of you like the idea of sitting behind pc but here is the truth, no global company was built just by sitting behind pc.

Here is another truth: the internet does not have all the information you need.

It depends on where you want to be in the future.

If you have made some money off that platform, et into real sector before its too late. Unfortunately, the president is just a lame duck.

Even when you're too lame to get laid in a whorehouse, you will still find reason to blame Invictus Obi and yahoo boys. When thousands of people who know what they're doing are making it daily in this very Nigeria.

It's ridiculous how you losers aways look for who to hold responsible for your misery.

Oh come on. I can't believe you're saying this. While you are right that slaving away on freelancer platforms such as Fiverr and the rest is certainly not a 'real business' (for obvious reasons), I am shocked that you dare say that you can't build a real business by 'sitting behind a computer'. Really?

Real business goes beyond that. I still stand by my words...

All those stories they sold to you is just fallacy. When you get into the real world and see things, you will understand. Mind you, I made my first $ behind pc but if you want to crush insane figures, better get your ass out there.

when you are ready, you will know. Just go get "The Everything Store" and read to save yourself from ignorance.

In there you will see a lot of things that media will never tell you. Most of the stupid stories you see flying around on blogs are not meant to tell you the truth, because it is best kept out of your reach for "their" own good. They are meant just for traffic purposes...

But since you are well comfortable with your current level, so be it...

Mind you, I said "Global Company"... you clearly do not belong to that circle of thought.

Now, me putting this up here does not mean I have reached that level but I ASSURE you my mindset has shifted.

I am done with you guys.

So this Invictus fellow is now the new excuse people would be giving for failure? Even if the FBI arrests 100,000 Nigerians for fraud it would not stop me from succeeding in legitimate online business.

You wield a dangerously myopic view. I can't believe it.

From your very shallow and narrow perspective, you dare make such blanket generalisations about what 'real business' is and what can and cannot be achieved by 'sitting behind a computer!

There's no need to explain anything or argue anything. I wouldn't even talk about the likes of Facebook and such. Neither would I give you any clues about the thousands of successful global corporations founded and run almost entirely by 'sitting behind a computer'. Google is a loyal friend of all, including ignoramuses. I would only tell you to go and find out the insane revenues generated by some Saas companies... Some like Salesforce net over a billion dollars annually. Go and ask them the to explain to you the real meaning of 'real business'.

I have told you... go and get that book I mentioned, it is How Amazon was built. I would have taken my time to explain my words but you think you know it all.

Are you aware that there are some information not open to public knowledge? You would never know this because it is good to keep some people at the top.

Who told you those companies were built just by sitting behind pc? That is what they want you to believe... If not that you are foolish, you would think Google has all the information you need for everything. My current venture, which some men have been feeding fat from has no single information about it online... if you like download the entire GOOGLE, plus melt their server... you will not find ziltch, nadah...

But be there thinking every information are open to the public till the day you see things differently. At least, the top 1% that controls things will keep being at the top before you wake up.

ODE, a lot of things happen to make these companies GLOBAL and sitting behind PC will not fetch you that... PERIOD! You can choose to believe otherwise, especially if you have never had the luxury of being in certain circle that vibrate with a different frequency and wavelength.

If you like quote me again, those who are wise will pick wisdom that they need for the future.

Brothers. I didn't create this post for us to quarrel over who's stupid or not. Let's face the truth we're facing a major problem as a country with bad int'l publicity.

This goes beyond Invictus Obi honestly, the finger pointing to Nigerians as scammers dates back to the advent of the telecom revolution in Nigeria for all I'm aware, that's when we got access to internet and stuffs that Nigerians started to flood dating sites of which the rest is history. Fela Durotoye amongst other notable distinguished Nigerians was also humiliated some years ago at some foreign airport because he is a Nigerian, many well meaning Nigerians have had to suffer same humiliation at various space and capacities.

My aim is for us to find a solution to this bad publicity we suffer as country. It's not about who is affected nor is it a tribal thing nor who shouldn't build a business behind a PC. thank you

So nairaland and lindaikeji's blog aren't real businesses
Even me once made over 10,000,000 naira on data sales from online purchases some years back, it might even interest you to know that I preferred and still prefer online /unknown customers over family and friends that will always want to owe you.
