Like Diezani, Like Hushpuppi - The African Greed by Chris525: 1:47pm On Jun 10, 2020
The African greed will forever be an enigma to me. You'd think its the hardship & poverty but even the wealthy are players in the game. This greed features all over Africa & even black countries outside Africa. Its got to be something in our DNA. We just dont know when to stop.


Diezani could have stolen 'just' N10B -that'll be easy to conceal in the books. 8% on a fix deposit is N800M every year for life! what did she do? £12M UK house, Greed!
Hushpuppi exaggerates his wealth but with his lifestyle, he could have amassed N300M & left the game but what did he do? $35M scam, Greed! A certain Otunba Cash was wealthy. He could have done same but no. I dont know what became of his €1+M scam case in Turkey.
Obiwanne comes to mind. At over N1B worth, he was clean & a toast of Forbes. What did he do? £11M scam, Greed!

The African greed is Africa's biggest curse.


NB: I dont support crime but I'm a realist. Without a proper system to check corruption in govt. & no jobs for the youths what do you expect?

Obiwanne made his money through scam in the first place..Forbes put him on the radar of the FBI..

Of course he was a scammer along but he was able to appear clean & even got a forbes award for it.

Forbes recognition was a couple of years back. The deal that did him in was after that, I read the charge sheet, its on the web. My point is if he had stayed away from fraud after the forbes thing, he would have ran away with his crimes.
