I was in a TilTok platform with some others whom are from Canada & USA, we were asked to introduce ourselves, as soon as I called my name and that I am from Nigeria, they blocked me not to participate in the discussion again. THAT WAS HOW I FINALLY EXITED MYSELF FROM TICTOK. WHAT A SHAME.

What's annoying is the things they're spoiling for honest Nigerians who are trying to make it legitimately, like me for instance I have great digital skills I spent money and years learning, and everything I tried to get a remote job failed because the moment they realize I'm Nigerian they all take to their heels, everything will be going smooth until I honestly tell them where I'm from cuz they assume we're all the same, now I can't get remote jobs and every options I've tried to legally leave this country has failed, it's unfair that everyone has to pay the price for the sins of some stupid people, make una pity us.

Same thing here. I lost three interviews because of being a Nigerian. They'll select my CV and send my name to their recruiter but the moment those recruiters know I'm a Nigerian, it ends there.

One even promised to send me money to set up an office but it never worked. I don kuku dey do YouTube now. I won't be applying again. I know how I felt by then. I don't want that feelings again.

How stupid can some be be? Greed and laziness ghave turned this people to morons who has abandoned all the opportunities America got to offer for an end of the road stupid journey. America never stops investigating crimes. They are still investigating crimes that happened 80 years ago not to talk of ones that happened recently. They will serve jail term, be deported and their future permanently ruined due to stupidity

SoNature:

I think it's easier to make fast money in Nigeria than abroad. When those people travelled to the US and realised that they have to work every day to make it, they turned to crimes. Nigeria is a virgin land full of opportunities. Our major problems are lack of money and government support.

Nope, it's just the old saying that "a lizard won't become a crocodile if it relocates to the river". If you're a scammer in Nigeria, you won't become responsible when you leave the country too... Most of these guys were scammers in Nigeria, that's why they continued it in America.

Spurious? As in they were framed up abi?

Every objective & rational mind knows that the majority of Nigerians abroad are into shady criminal enterprises.

Both the ones abroad and their families back home will then raise their filthy hands in their Churches & Mosques to worship their Gods - for showering them with his blessings, prosperity & protection.

They will then update their social media handles with words like:

“Oh! He has been faithful, from generation to generation.”

“Oh! His mercy endures forever.”

Why Nuclear Missiles or Fire & Brimstones from Heaven are yet to fall and obliterate these hypocritical charlatans is still beyond me.

Majority of Nigerians abroad are into shady deals? You well so? I don't think so.

South south, specifically Delta State is well represented.

The youths there have gone insane ever since the Internet fraud went mainstream.

Others represented, are Yorubas, and Igbos... undecided

Death to all fraudsters, whether political or non political.
