How Fraudsters Has Dented The Image Of Nigerian Abroad?

It's not only about the image. Fraudsters are destroying their own country and impose to Nigerian people false values destroying the economy and the future. The message is clear, look at me, stealing and cheating you can get stinky rich same as I am. Nigeria it is what it is because of people acting street smart instead of using the brain and capacity to build the real wealth studying and working.

I lived in the UK before moving to Canada. When I worked for one of the top 4 banks in the world out if their Birmingham office, every money laundering and fraud prevention yearly training program had examples of Nigerian scams (both yahoo boys and politicians). That was embarrassing for all Nigerians working in that bank too.

Can someone tell me the difference between (Hushpuppi, Invictus Obi, Mompha) and (Tinubu, Rochas, Ganduje)??

You can't be supporting Rochas, Tinubu and Ganduje and still be campaigning against fraud! That's the height of hypocrisy!

So disappointed to read this from you, I always thought that you are one of the decent ones here, obviously I’m wrong.

Search refund scam, gift card scam, Microsoft support scam and many more on YouTube to see how many people going after Indian scammers.

Even at that.. why do you compare yourself to other scums? Why do you think that Nigerians should be left out simply because they are not the only ones stealing from innocent people?

You let yourself down.

ednut1:
you are not getting the point. Scamming is bad and should not be used to paint a country bad. In 2019 there were about 4 reports of huge scams by Nigerians in canada (from their names). The Canadian media never mentioned their country of origin.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/beta.ctvnews.ca/local/regina/2020/4/16/1_4899464.html

https://www.google.com/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/5690231/online-relationship-fraud/amp/

Just take a look at those articles Nigeria was not mentioned by canada media. The actions of Hushpuppi and other scammers does not represent me as a Nigerian. It is unfair to law abiding people like many of us

ZINIBANKS:
Hope you guys know that we are just playing near those Ghanaians they're the real lord of fraudsters just that Nigeria is a cast country

So not calling out Nigerians by their country of origin solve what problem exactly?

ednut1:
judged for their crime by their person not country. Is it fair that genuine freelancers and online business practitioners are being denied right to participate or get jobs due to idiots like hush puppy. I have not used 2 weeks in canada and i have been targeted already by 2 Indian scammers. Job offer scam and SIN scam already. Let yahoo boys face their cross majority of us are not scammers

Another scam sympathisers, why are you worried about Ghanaians and not criminal Nigerians?

ZINIBANKS:

Am not worried about any of them
Am just clearing facts ok

Gerrard59:
The laughable aspect is Nigerians comparing themselves to Chinese, Russians, Indians etc. who do same. A poor person cannot compare himself to a rich person and this plays out in crime and its consequences. A Nigerian cannot be treated the same way as an Indian or German who commits same crime. This is largely due to the standing of both countries. India is more influential than Nigeria and this shows in visa refusal rates in the US. The belief that I'll be treated as Orji Kalu even when we committed similar crimes is entirely misplaced and false. Someone mentioned racism? So how come Kenyans or Ghanaians don't face same treatment? How come financial companies don't dread dealing with those nationals?

If Nigeria becomes a top ten economy tomorrow, the treatment her citizens will face will be totally different from what it's now. The stronger a country (due to the size of the economy), the more influential she becomes and how her nationals are respected globally.

Pascopele:
Nigerians have worked hard to earn their reputation for being corrupt internet scammers. No thanks to Huspuppi, Invictus & Co.,

The poorly written emails suggest a substandard educational system, or at least poor English teaching resources in Nigeria.

Outside of the frequent emails from unfortunate Nigerian princes. The Nigerian criminal element has persuaded many foreigners to stay away from Nigeria or perceived us ALL to be thieves.

Most of them are not familiar with any positive attributes of Nigerians.

Kindly share you experience as a Nigeria Abroad
It is no lies that the hustle to get out of this country is getting realer by the day but as a result of fraud it becoming tougher by the day.
I want to use this opportunity to invite our Bros and sis to come and enlighten us about their stories because this is Nigeria and everybody have got stories.

Boitumelo Dube, is a South African acquinatance and used to stay in Sunnyside Pretoria, aka Lagos. below is what she said about us

" I have a good number of wonderful friends, colleagues and acquaintances from West Africa that I met during university days, that I met now professionally as colleagues and clients, those people I know socially and I can safely say my former neighbouring was 50% West Africans. My view of Nigerians are the following, in no particular order:

-They are well spoken: yes there's pidgin but most Nigerians are eloquent and expressive sometimes a bit over-the-top;

-They are quite industrious: but can also be cut-throat and unethical in business;

-They have a wonderful reputation of being scammers and conmen and this one is felt globally. Yahoo boys, email fraud etc;

-Nigerians are well travelled and will explore any avenue to make money elsewhere which is wonderful. But I do think it's partially because of their adventurous and get-it spirit and coupled by the fact that millions of Nigerians are desperate to leave Nigeria for a better life somewhere else. And most don't want to go back or they take long years to visit family. I know a guy who's been here for 20 years and hasn't visited, issues of papers, lack of money etc basically excuses I know damn well he has money and can easily fix his papers. His mother has been begging for years

-I loooooove the West African diet. Omg the food is soooo good and tasty, I've had many many soup dishes, jollof with all kinda meat. I'm a foodie and love hot food so it makes sense;

-I love Nigerian music. I listen to a mix of Asa, Mr Eazi with the delicious lips, Timaya, Harry Songs, Runtown whose just so fiiiiine, a few Davido tracks, love Tiwa and Wizkid;

-Nigerians have their many tribal prejudices and discriminatory attitudes but will come together against an outsider;

-I like the accent and Nollywood; the plots, plot- twist and magic im here for all that lol;

-Nigerians pride themselves in their sexual prowess; I mean I cannot even tell you the number of times I've been promised a great time in bed. Funny thing is I've never been in a sexual relationship with a Nigerian man, which is weird because I mean Nigerian men are hot. They just extremely economical with the truth and imcredible womanizers;

-Nigerians dont like parting ways with money, when they do they'll negotiate to the lowest possible amount,

I wanted to visit Nigerian for 2 weeks this Feb., 2020 until I found out they dont have stable electricity supply, I don't want to be trapped in a whole new country and be confined to a hotel room because the city is dark at night. I wanna be out and about hanging out with people soaking in the culture".
