All of the defendants named are innocent until proven guilty. If convicted, the defendants face up 20 years in federal prison on the wire fraud conspiracy counts and up to 10 years in federal prison on the money laundering conspiracy counts.

That will be good.

Is anybody remaining in Orji's family at all? It's like they are relocating the entire family to prison.

Their famous uncle, Clifford was known for his cannibalistic exploits.

don't make the mistake of assuming that northerners are not there because na Dem holy pass. No. They just don't have that level of intelligence and smartness (though negatively applied in this case).

Don't they also have the smartness to conceal drugs and hit the airport in a suicidal way? Don't drag us into this, please.

The first name showed clearly he is from delta, or Benin. The last and middle names are Islamic name and doesn’t point to North or south.

MARKone:
The stupid Yahoo boys we have here claim their reason for scamming people, is due to bad government and lack of Job in the country, heck, I even had an argument with one on IG, who claimed it was payback for our Slave masters aka Colonial masters, for what the did to us, awon digital avengers. Now what is the reason for the rising number of Nigerian scammers in the US? Is it because there is no job there too? or the politicians are as bad as the ones we have in Nigeria, or maybe they want to take the war direct to the coven of the "slave masters". Two things to take away from all this is, 1. An Overwhelmingly percentage of Nigerian youths are by default criminals. 2. Buhari is right after all, Nigeria youths are lazy.

Exactly, Products Of a Failed Boomer Parents & Upbringing And A Complete Disastrous Shiiithole. The Whites contributed a lot to this Menace too but Generally Most black people lack Cognitive reasoning and they are not Unite & Fearless. Meanwhile even Buhari himself Is Clueless and brain dead. Thank you......

Let's have a vote:
If you think the prevalence of internet fraud among Nigerian youths is unjustifiable, click like, if you think it is justifiable click share.
No reasons given justify whatsoever crime. However, humans will naturally prefer shortcut anywhere in the world. It is only a working system that makes most people behave orderly. There is a reason "lead us not into temptation came first before deliver us from evil in the Lord's prayer." Factually speaking, Nigeria is currently a jungle where anything goes. The so called leaders are the pioneers of crime & role modern.

Some people are just so useless and stupid, a guy from warri here who lives in michigan USA is doing time behind bar now and we heard he will be deported back to Nigeria after he complete his jail time, he was arrested because he received wire fraud money of $1000 and he was supposed to keep $300 to himself and send $700 back to Nigeria, and he is in jail not because of $300 when many are ready to kill for an America visa, go to mexico US border and see thousands there trying to enter the US, in the US you get paid $11 per hour, now tell me what is preventing all these idiots from working their way to the top legitly??

Nigeria used to be one of the highest earning groups in USA, top
10 ,now after a recheck, not in top 10 anymore,the Nigerians in USA basically
turned lazy over time, just look at indians, damn. they scam too but only in their improvised country, in USA they are the highest earners by miles above everyone else, that's the stereotype we Nigerians need to make for ourselves in that country,those nutjobs wanna ruin it..god punish them .

Who are you gonna blame now? Not enough jobs in USA, no good schools? Bruh, that's the excuses they give in Nigeria now you're in a so called developed country,a country of billionaires with economy x200 that of Nigeria's and yet still scams ,they should just put a bullet in their empty head,my opinion.

Thought it was poverty that causes yahoo?

They should arrest us politicians instead.
The corruption of our politicians in Nigeria does not affect America in any way. But what our boys are doing over there is affecting their citizens. It's not the corruption of our politicians that makes companies in other countries to bar Nigerians from working over there. It is the corruption of our youths over here and there.
