Stop using anything to justify fraud. Nigeria is not the only country with bad or corrupt politicians. I know Nigerian politicians are heartless and useless but why did hush puppi not hustle legitimately despite being in a developed country? What about Invictus who found himself in the US but refused to hustle legitimately? I have friends in Dubai who worked as cleaners before getting good jobs there - why did they not go the route of Hush? . The issue here is greed and impatience. There are dozens of countries that are worse than Nigeria in every ramification but their citizens are not reputed for this nonsense image Nigerians now have all over the world. These guys have ruined so many opportunities for millions of Nigerians all across the world. People know that politicians in most parts of the world are scums - so if your country has corrupt politicians - people won't really use that to judge you unlike when your citizens have a history of notorious crimes. There are times abroad when I introduced myself as a Nigerian and the foreigners there all agreed that Nigerians are fraudsters based on the activities of these stupid yahoo boys. They think we are all dishonest people due to this whole nonsense yahoo boys that will all die a miserable death.
The problem is not just bad governance but greed and impatience. Hush Puppi found his way to Dubai - where he has access to good jobs and stuff. He chose not to work but engage in fraud. And he ended up spending his loot on luxury lifestyle. If you take all these Naija yahoo boys to the USA(where there is good governance) and give good jobs - they will still look for means to scam people. Because they want to drive Benz. Live lavishly forgetting that life is a process and things take time. Most of these people are not looking for how to meet their basic needs. They are all in a hurry to live in luxury - neglecting the fact that people in developed countries largely live an average lifestyle. When Americans deride Nigerians with terms like ”Nigerian Prince” or ”419”, do they refer to Nigerian politicians or ordinary Nigerians who engage in cybercrime? This shows you who really brings us shame. Nonsense!

Sorry you took me out of context. Never was I justifying fraud my friend. And I quite understand how soiled the name of this country is.

My write-up is centered around getting to the root of the decadence in our country. How we got here and how prevalent cyber crime is in our society. Truth is, we can continue to attack the personalities of those into fraud without any iota of success at deterring others bcuz the underlying cause is left unchecked.

Mind you, I said an average Nigerian youth within a certain age group residing in cities knows someone who's into Yahoo or knows someone who knows someone who's into the act but is the society frowning at it? Have you ever called out anyone you know with an untraceable source of wealth before? And if you have even managed to do so, what's the response from the antigraft agencies like?

My brother, I'm not justifying scamming and will never do but am only hoping that people with high spirit and motivation like the one you poured out in your response to me will step forward and demand sanity in the Nigerian system. Not until we are able to reward hard work proportionately and accordingly, and get our teeming youths gainfully employed, Nigeria might continue to remain a shit hole country for some decades.

I can’t find the video anymore but here is an article with similar results.

Thank you so much. I appreciate

DuBLINGreenb:
Everybody does not need to be as rich as hushpuppi,

yes I never insinuated that neither did I state that everyone needs to be as rich as him.

I told you that the majority of our Nigerian graduates are living in abject poverty after NYSC nothing at all for them even during NYSC you need connection to get posted to a place that will pay you 10k or more how much more after NYSC.

What I am saying is where is the assurance, where are the social structures and safety nets that ensures Nigerians especially graduates do not fall below a certain level of poverty. That is all I am saying.

How many graduates can boast of earning 100k+ in Nigeria today even here on Nairaland you typing I know you don't earn up to 100k a month

100,000naira a month translates to 1.2m a year this is the amount countries like USA consider as poor. So to USA people living in this amount are tagged poor.

In Nigeria we have no social security, so people can be poor as in 0 naira in hand, 0 naira in bank and no food and yet they have no place to go to at least get free food and a blanket almost every country outside Africa has provisions for the poor. We on the other hand have the world's largest concentration of poor people with no safety net. What do you expect? For these people not to find a way out of such poverty without looking back. Not everybody can hold their morality in such circumstances so we should attack the WHY instead of the people when the causative agent is addressed then anybody still indulging in such acts only have himself to blame

I'm sure alot of Nigerian fraudsters infact criminals generally will leave their crooked ways if they see something legit that will pay them half of what whatever crime they are doing now is paying them.

Arresting Hushpuppi won't stop Nigerian scammers, it will only give Hush legendary status , immortalise him and his deeds like Billy the kid or any other criminals during the time when the majority of Europe and americas were poor. Criminals attained legendary status for going against the rich and the state or govmt why do you think that is
But now that the majority are above the poverty line when you commit a crime it is frowned upon by Everybody in the west Why? Simple the govmt now works or appears to work for the betterment of the majority unlike in Africa particularly Nigeria where the govmt works for the politicians only.

Saudi Arabia has the same oil as Nigeria every citizen of Dubai gets paid by Saudi Aramco oil company which is the state owned company 1.2million naira per month, for doing nothing just because their country has oil, in Nigeria even the people who own the land where Nigerias oil is drilled from don't get 1 naira, the oil has killed all the fishes in the rivers and as such increased poverty yet the govmt has not given farmers any money to go into another business.

And here you are defending the govmt.

Having read your post I feel it will be nice I say well-done to you. I wish this Hushpuppy's case and more like it will awaken the Nigerian state to the tickling time bomb OBJ has always cried about but ironically couldn't do anything about while in power. A country where a large chunk of the population is not gainfully employed, and are youths is surely sitting on a gunpowder.

Hush is just one out of the many Yahoo boiz we know. There's virtually no single Nigerian living in the city within age 18 to 40 who doesn't know a Yahoo boy or knows someone who knows a Yahoo boy. The statistics is alarming if you consider the numbers yet they're celebrated or spoken highly about due to the decadence in the system. Even worse is the fact that some parents scold their legitimate hardworking children who are struggling with the ups and downs of life just because the son of a neighbor down the street is driving flashy cars without any traceable source of wealth.

I pray the Nigerian youth could wake up to the most fundamental ask of a citizen - question your leaders and demand good leadership. Africans at large lags in this regard. It's hard to see where that's going to come from considering how divided we are as a people. Nigeria keeps churning out graduates year in year out without any tangible plan to absorb them into the workforce of the economy. How then will fraud and crime not thrive in such a society?

You see money-miss-road politicians who before venturing into politics had nothing to offer the economy, flaunting their overnight riches and you begin to wonder if an average Nigerian is okay in the head. Politics is so lucrative here that the country would borrow to fund budgets while our political class continue to be one of the best paid public office holders in the world.

Until we start demanding and pushing for good governance, unemployed and underemployed Nigerian youths will continue to consider crime as an alternative route to breaking the chain of poverty in their lineage.

True. Any device that has a camera and access to the internet can be used for espionage. The day I watched how an iPhone was able to track movements even when it was switched off, I just gave up on the thought that anyone could have a smartphone and remain anonymous.

This is exactly what I'm working on right now. If you've gathered much information about it, I won't mind if you share some of them with me.

Memberclub:
Did Instagram give interpol his login details?

Is that not illegal?

Any idiot can hack into any social media account talk less of USA federal government agency. They call it ethical hacking.

Let's see the outcome. The United States just need Hush and Wberry to tightening there system. You think US are stupid like Nigerians government that will prosecute fraudsters, don't be surprised if Hushpuppi and Mr Woodberry worked with the US Artificial Intelligence(AI). Hush and Wberry will help them with a lot of things and they need someone like them in there country to make sure there database is secure. The whites are more intelligent than African countries and shameless Nigerian will be criticizing Hush and Wberry. Your government are looting you every fucking days and you keep quite criticizing the rich Hush and Wberry. Wise up

This comment sha!

I really wish for a lady with such powers. I'm seriously interested in marrying one. I pray I get a good one with good spirits to fight and fend off spiritual attacks for the family. Imagine not needing a pastor or Alfa for all your spiritual dealings.... Just discuss it with madam and it is settled

I have a proposition for the federal government and the Nigerian Army on how to tackle this security challenge with a completely different approach that can help us achieve the kind of success the American troops had when they invaded and captured Osama Bin Ladin.

I believe after trying out the core military approach for far too long and getting understandably the same results, it is rather eminent we try augmenting our approach with the latest smart technologies that will simplify warfare and greatly reduce the casualties our military personnels are faced with while recording tremendous desired results. This is actually going to cost us resources but the results we're bound to achieve far outweighs those recorded from towing the same path since the inception of this unending fight against insecurity and insurgencies, and surely, for every price there's a prize.

I will write the president through his Twitter handle and loop in the Nigerian Army, Ministry of Defense and Defense Headquarters, and some prominent northern leaders. I hope and pray they don't turn a deaf ears to it.

Oluf3mi:
E shock you too abi?

@Illicit,

I guess she's the broiler breed of human.

That face, that physic, 22? Nah... Idonbilivit

I was expecting more than I saw... Nothing to buttress the topic other than sheer comparisons and featherweight points.

Tell us what was used to cajole Africans into submission and obedience in place of religious beliefs and its doctrine. Yes, Ethiopians are Africans and just like Egypt, were among the world's most civilized countries of the world at the time, so it's understandable and excusable to say they've gone far ahead of their fellow blacks. Also, that slavery is in vogue in the Arab world before the European slave trade in Africa doesn't erase the history of religion as a tool used by the so called missionaries on African soil to cargo blacks across the Mediterranean Sea.

I wish them luck... We're just tired of the same headline since 2013

bigiyaro:
nawao, even sand self dey run from Africa. Abeg I won go Australia... I need help.

I won't mind New Zealand but Australia too wont be bad.

Which state are you presently? You might wanna consider farm produce buying and selling business or gas retail business and so on. It all depends on the state you are and what's easy for you

I'll recommend 1000ml of vitamin C. Finish one complete pack of it and by taking one daily. You'll be fine

megastu:
Its in his best interest to plead guilty. Save the court's time and money.

He could get between 4-8yrs just for cooperating with authorities. It will be counted from the day of his arrest, so he will be out in 3 years. I just hope he learns his lesson after this encounter

You mean if the trial had taken place in a Nigerian court under Buhari government abi?

You need to remind yourself who the president of America is at the moment and their stance on Nigerian fraudsters. They have scores to settle with our scammers and trust me, I won't be surprised if he's sentenced to a 30 years jail term. They're gonna be making him and the other folks a deterrent.

Ebonyecstasy:
I want to start up my own business but don't know how to, it seems as if Am scared cause this is my first time of venturing into business. I don't know how to market my products, i don't kne how to retain my customers.
Those who have been into business how did u overcome the fear and what were d challenges? By the way i make bags, slippers, hats, facinators etc.

Let the fear of failure motivate you positively... You won't stop at anything to ensure all your fears are conquered and your curiosities quenched.

Look for an established entrepreneuer around your vicinity and learn trade from him/her. I know you already have the skill to produce stuffs but you need more than just that to survive and navigate your way in the ever competitive market space. All the best dear

bayo2018:
Good day nairalanders

Please I’ve an issue bothering me rn. I’m thinking of terminating my School though I’m in year 2(1st semester)

I noticed I’m able to make more than 300k a month online these covid season but if I’m in school I don’t make up to this amount because I don’t have enough time to stay online and do things I wanna do.

But I don’t wanna make a decision that’s gonna affect me forever so I’m seeking for your honest opinion.

Should I just terminate this school and focus more on my online Business.

What my online business just require of me is Data(like 50gb per month )and to always be online to run the stuff.

If the online biz is legit, I will advise you keep to it and maximize this opportunity you have to the fullest but if it's otherwise, plz go to school and build your future through academics.

I'm equally interested in gaining those online biz knowledge from you if you wouldn't mind. Show me the way Bro.... Hope it's legit anyway

drsteroid:
Welcome Timo! Chelsea needs one or two more prolific Strikers( I will suggest they try their luck with lewandowski) and a good goalkeeper to give kepa a good fight for that No1 position. Chelsea is going to be a force to reckon with in the coming season.

E go shock una... Until Pep and Klopp leaves, na try una go dey try. Mind you Timo is just another André Schürrle. Trust you remember all the hype back then too.

Captainrambo2:
Lol since reno called him shock absorber they have stopped saying the president is shocked.



Now hes a sad man

Next he will be called a sadist ... LoL

AfroKnight:

I think Arsenal should take you people to court for selling faulty player and packaging him like good product.

They sold them London used so what do you expect? Oil shortage of course!

Baleeson:
ops you are wicked soul...this thing that you did to this girl may they do likewise to ur daughter
amen...karma is real....

Plz and plz modify the bolded part above please.... True karma exist but don't wish bad for his unborn children please. If there's anybody that should be punished, it should be the wrongdoer and not his generation unborn.

Those children are innocent and we shouldn't wish the kind of fortune for the coming generations. You don't wanna to be punished for your father's misdeeds, do you?

Let's be guided plz

2023 go make sense for Naija political landscape... I pray we all witness it in good health.

Just thinking aloud, what will be APC campaign mantra come 2023?

What will their next throw of the die be?

In street language, which format dey go use for us that time?
