It's almost tempting to say lack of education or opportunities to make a decent living, but that would be me condoning their actions because both situations are still an issue in Nigeria.

Scamming in Nigeria is a byproduct of a judgemental society.

Scammers are nothing but greedy people who are trying to live up to a false image. They don't use the money to survive, they use it to live a pretend life. Nigeria has a big problem of marginalization and discrimination when it comes to social status. If you don't have this car or that house then you're a failure. Of course no one says this to your face, but you'll feel it based on how they treat you. You feel it from friends, family and even from a complete stranger.

He(the society) who holds the ladder is as bad as the thief(scammers).

The framing of this question is unfair to Nigerians as a whole, and that’s because of the word “culture”. Scamming Nigerians are the exception, not the rule. There is as much a culture of scamming in Nigeria as there is a culture of let’s say, xenophobia in South Africa, or a culture of homicide in the US. Scammers have inhabited the earth since the dawn of time. Nigerian scammers probably revolutionised the process but it is hardly a malaise deserving of cultural attribution.

That said, I will reiterate what others have said that the scamming epidemic in Nigeria ( which is actually in serious decline since the turn of the 21st century) is merely a symptom of some other far more debilitating disease - corruption.

Corruption in Nigeria goes far beyond the everyday definition you know which barely covers bribery and dishonest gain. It goes far beyond that to the realm of what Professor Pius Adesanmi aptly describes as an “ontological unfairness” of the Nigerian space which describes the ubiquitous brand of corruption that makes it inconceivable to live totally via an honest wage, or to totally be bereft of any corrupt act in your daily life. It is an almost impossible scenario, and a society like this will always have people in significant numbers who will latch on to any corrupt fad and explore it to the furthest frontiers. This is what makes Nigeria’s brand of scam look like it is a culture. It is not.

People do not train their children to be scammers. If they did, that is a culture. Scam artistes, save their brash show of wealth, are still very much inconsequential in general moral coding of the society. If it was otherwise, it will be a culture.

But it must be said that the abject leadership ineptitude and corruption in high places is slowly eating away the moral fabric of the society. There is gradually an erosion of consequences for corruption, mostly because the ruling class are neck-deep in it. When the trees were still the playground of the squirrels, if you made sudden wealth, people (your parents especially) will ask questions. That is no longer the case.

Parents now even tacitly encourage their wards to get rich by all means. Churches and places of worship which are the conscience of the society blatantly compete for wealth to the point of active engagement in ponzi schemes.


In the final analysis, the upcoming generation are left with the wrong incentives to respond to, which makes it harder to blame them, which exercabates the and widens the diameter of the vicious corruption circle.

The malaise is dangerously getting close to the notorious toga of culture. It remains to be seen if the slide can be arrested.

Abiodun Ladepo writes:

“Nobody should be trying to discourage Biafrans from leaving Nigeria. We should make sure we are fair to them by making the process bloodless:

1. Pick a date for secession.

2. Draw boundaries for the intended country. I assume it will be named Biafra.

3. Ensure all communities contiguous with or within 10 kilometers radius of the drawn borders agree to be included or excluded.

4. Compile a list of all Igbos all over Nigeria.

5. Understand that secession means every Igbo based in Nigeria MUST return home to live in Biafra on or before the date set in No 1.

6. Understand what No 5 means, which is that, all Igbos in the Federal and State services in Nigeria MUST forfeit all employment and return to Biafraland.

7. Conduct a referendum (funded by the protagonists but witnessed by Nigeria and international observers) on whether or not to secede.
We must ensure that all Igbos have a say in their self determination. No Igbo person should be forced into Biafra if they choose not go. But they can't remain in Nigeria if Biafra secedes.

8. If secession succeeds, Biafra can go without firing one single shot.

9. Biafrans will now have the same status that all other West Africans have with Nigeria. They can travel to/through or reside in Nigeria according to Nigeria's immigration laws. They can also do business or invest in Nigeria according to Nigerian laws.

10. If secession fails, it has failed forever. Anyone who brings it up again will be charged with treason”

Everything you said here is very true. You are correct

But not every scammer is scamming to show off. Life has not gotten you to a point where you live in hunger and in pain and insults, depending on others for basic things like food, clothing as a young adult man. Especially from a poor home where your father is jobless and can't help you.

Where you gained admission into school but no money to see you through. Where you are constantly reminded of how nobody helped that your mate that is now balling and has changed the story of his family and living the life.

Where you are seen as an idiot and hated for wanting to be good and follow the long process to wealth. Where nobody calls you to hangout with them. Where you have no skill because no money to learn any

This yahoo must be done, no preaching can stop it

That crime doesn’t match the punishment.
Fine of #100,000, then he forfeits his iPhone 11, refrigerator and sound system collectively valued at not less than #300,000 all for defrauding someone of $200 or #146,000 in today’s exchange rates.

Bro,
The victims(the people he scammed) reported to EFCC that he scammed them of 200$ only, and he indeed confessed to scamming them 200$.

So it was a 200$ crime.
