A lizard in Nigeria wouldn't become a crocodile abroad. A criminal will always be a criminal, Japa or not

Criminality is ingrained into some people's culture and soul and their understanding of hard work is not a honest day's work but commiting criminality.

The irony here is a vast majority of these specific people will make excuses and even defend their fellow tribesman when arrested in Nigeria for one crime or the other by citing the Nigerian economic downturn and systematic rot in the system but these same idiots will still venture into crime in countries with better economic prospects and oppurtunities.
Every tribe got criminals


A notorious narcotics drug trafficker who forfeited over $400,000 in drug proceeds to the U.S. government is the president of Nigeria, and yet people still believe he is the best thing to happen since sliced bread. They believe such a questionable character will propel the country to prosperity. It's not possible

Japa was not meant for everyone that is why we have Visa declined stamp.

But unfortunately, we have people who hustle money to bypass the hurdle of being rejected.

And they need to make this money by all means.

Also crime isn't subjected to a tribe in Nigeria like the person above portrayed.

There's no tribe that forbids selling drugs or adults seeking to date underage girls.

When I was overseas, I was charged to court for beating the traffic and I was cleared because It was because I was black and racism is real.
interesting on the bolded. Crazy ….

The one that irks me the most.

Nigerians who emigrate and still continue collecting salaries in Nigeria.

These useless animals are the ones who curse Nigeria the most that it will always be a failure while contributing to the rot.

One would think with higher income, and better working systems, their criminal orientation would change.

But NO.

Reason I laugh when some people say if not for bad leaders....blah blah....

most Nigerian love easy life and are too lazy. They're also filled with pride and arrogance. They want to look big reason they go into fraud whether in Nigeria or not. Same with politicians stealing money. Same mindset

Nigerians are no different from there leaders

Quick escape from poverty. Everyone wants to impress and oppress their fellow Nigerians… these are the kinda people who will never be of help even to their dyeing family members in need and those who helped them when in hardship/poverty. Nemesis never makes mistakes catching up

The standard/bar they raised for themselves back home is always unreasonable. They get to europe and see that money indeed does not grow on trees. The money comes in trickles,plus bills over there are knee deep. Crime then becomes the major quench to there insatiable greed.
story they're more bills In Nigeria. That's why politicians steal. Your politicians are the most paid politicians in the world yet they still steal.

It's those who have that steal more in Nigeria that steal more. The average mindset in the entire country needs to change.

OP is sounding like relocating to better countries is synonymous with picking gold on the streets.
People will commit crime irrespective of geographical location.

There is no free money in Europe or América. It takes time, skill and grace to survive abroad.

It is only people who Travel with a get rich quick mentality that do crime. The funny thing is that You can't beat the authority all the time, one day You will be caught.

Patience is a virtue, one day it Will be your turn. No need to rush
