Congrats to him, Naira Marley has done for him what his govmt couldn't do for him despite taking tax from him for over 40 years. Kudos to N.M

Politicians can dig to do and undo each other but can't seem to dig us out of Nigeria's Sh!+ They dug us into

Maybe true but how did you come about your conclusions who did you interview what experts did you talk to when was your research or survey carried out etc

If it has FEDERAL in its name, best believe it won't do sh#t for anybody except politicians.

Crispels:
I'm ashamed! So to you now, Hush Puppi is only wrong because he scammed for too long and not because he even scammed just one person? Even if it's just one person, what is wrong, is wrong! You people should stop normalizing or justifying what is wrong.
Here in the US, doing BEC or credit card fraud is not rocket science but most of us still choose to stay away from crime because it's evil to ruin the lives of others to ”better” yours. Life does not work that way. Like I said earlier, my cousin that currently lives in Dubai worked as a cleaner for almost a year before getting a job with one of the Dubai Future IT Tech firms there. Can he hack? Yes! He has higher degrees in Computer Engineering & Cybersecurity from schools in Seattle. He left the US for Dubai because he could not get a good company to file for his green card -partly because he is a Nigerian and IT companies don't really trust Nigerians with their cyberinfrastructure again because of those yahoo yahoo idiots who will die miserable deaths and their greedy enablers who think defrauding even one person is right.

The fact that some people are looting or defrauding people does not make it right. See, when I first arrived in the US - I worked a small job that paid only $9 per hour to survive. That could barely even feed me very well - I skipped meals and stuff but I was contented. There are Nigerians who are currently in US feds prisons who after arriving here got jobs that pay $40 per hour(they came on visa lottery). Yet, they were not contented or patient - they went into credit card fraud because they wanted to quickly buy Benz, wear expensive stuff, build houses in Nigeria and live like Hush Puppi. Now, they are in prisons - their green cards may be revoked and they will be deported back to Nigeria with nothing after serving over 10years in feds prisons.

See, crime does not pay. I will rather work as a toilet cleaner, drink my Garri and sleep with my two eyes closed than to go into crime and end up being used as a poster boy by the FBI. I'm a true Yoruba boy and in my family ”a good name is better than ill-gotten riches”.
I buy what I can afford. I wear what I have. I LIVE WITHIN MY MEANS! I’M PATIENT!!!

Did you see the part I wrote "BY NOT DOING SOMETHING ELSE"?

South Hampton win

I approve this message

Nigerian girls are entitled brats

a little correction tho it is more than 85% 'almost every Nigerian Girl, she doesn't even have to be your girlfriend she just has to know you a little'

For the "come and buy for me na" to start

A girl once met me, I never asked her out or even asked for her number she was just friendly I was indifferent, I wasn't even attracted to her I like tall ladies esp. shape is a plus but not a must, she wasn't either of those also face, that's a must for me, her face must be on point, hers wasn't. So I wasn't even interested.

She invited me to an event I didn't attend.

2 days later she came looking for me she got my number called me only to tell me it's her birthday tomorrow, I said ok happy birthday incase I forget to call you. I wasn't going to call her.

The tomorrow came she called me in the evening and told me "the gift you want to give me don't bother just send me such and such amount of money and a black dress, I need them urgently, thank you"

Bro, I was stunned.

Years Before that Another girl was buying clothes close to my place in northern Nigeria (I travel round Naija alot) so I wanted to buy one for my mum her bday was going to be in a few days, I asked the guy how much each cost, I selected the one I thought mum would like and I was about to pay. before I will put hand in pocket the girl TOLD me "please pay for me na"

My guy! those clothes were expensive, I only bought one for my mum, this girl asked me to buy 3 for her, my mum gave birth to me and took care of me all her life wtf have you done for me I barely even know you and you don't know how much I have in my pocket wtf is wrong with Nigerian girls?

I paid for one for her, I had the cash so no big deal right? Wrong, big mistake when I traveled this girl got my number somehow and called me she gave me a list of things to buy, I didn't communicate with her, about a year later I didn't even think she knew me again let alone remember what she told me to "dash her"

She called and told me "You remember you are owing me" I said wtf no I'm not (I'm the kind of guy that doesn't borrow let alone owe money so I was 100% sure I wouldn't borrow not even from a man let alone borrow MONEY from a WOMAN.

she later explained "the thing na" " the thing I asked you to buy for me" I shook my head in disbelief.

Another girl we hadn't talked for years sent me message on WhatsApp about her birthday, I'll send the screenshot here.

I don't know why these happen to me ALOT, I used to think maybe I look rich that's why, I look butty, if it happens to you too or you know girls who do this leave a like

AND guys who borrow without paying back na only God fit punish una

Scam from our political hushpuppi's

Politicians not average pensioners

And lose a friend

Crispels:
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? I have friends in Dubai who worked as cleaners before getting good jobs there. 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 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!

I am not justifying fraud, Hushpuppi did wrong by not stopping on time, by not diversifying or doing something else, he got greedy and comfortable with what he was doing it had worked too many times so he always assumed it would work forever big mistake on his part.

Who told you those guys doing legit work, if they knew how to scan they wouldn't be into fraud already? Who told you if they got into public office they won't loot funds.

The reason they remain in scam is that they get too comfortable, they see it as the only way out they have probably tried and failed at many things and the one thing they succeeded at they decide to stick to it SIMPLE

Nigerian youths,

when you are tired you know what to do,

if you like sit down and be saying "e go better" or "god dey" no worry god go dey dey hmmm your only hope for enjoyment now is death and even that one is based in hearsay.

The people who told you to die before you enjoy are already enjoying here on earth and guess what?
They have never died before so they don't even know what they are talking about either, Goodluck to you.

I hope you dont die only to find out there is nothing at all on the other side and the elites just played a fast one on you to calm you down and make you look forward to dying, while they loot you dry � it is sad but funny. N'ndo

Scam

Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia pays its citizens millions of naira monthly NNPC we are not asking for millions of naira monthly

the people whose lands and properties NNPC is making their billions from are living in abject poverty no roads, no hospitals, nothing just swamp and slums and harassment from security agencies

Why not atleast pay those from the Niger Delta thousands of naira monthly or give them jobs or atleast develop the area or allow them refine their oil themselves instead you Fulanised NNPC and destroyed PH and warri refineries instead took refinery to the north were there is no oil even that one was also destroyed now you gave Dangote refinery go ahead to make profit solely off of the destruction of the Niger Delta

If I have my way God knows hmmm... Let me not talk

Meanwhile for now let us all go to NNPC Twitter and Facebook handles and type "shame on you NORTHERN NIGERIA PETROLEUM CORPORATION" under every post they make

Goodluck to you

If we can make this a nation wide movement it would be nice

Adopt a party that is not PDP or APC then we all put our little feather weights behind the movement no how no how we will make impact however little even if it is one state we win no problem let us start from there

A state where youthful exuberance, zeal, ideas, creativity will be the focus

Even if it is one local government we will start from somewhere

saajus:
- Our thinking has been distorted. If we have good Govt, that's what they need to fix first. How much do you need to live a good life? A Professor, Doctor, Lawyer does not need to be as rich as Hushpuppi but they need to be comfortable. Let's leave Nigeria and go to advanced countries that we worship. How many Americans are as rich as Hushpuppi? How many American Lawyers are as rich as Hushpuppi? How many Americans have Ferrari like Hushpuppi?
- About their Prison that the article said it's better, well Hushpuppi may come out gay and be psychologically messed up for life.
- Going to school does not make you wealthy but should make you comfortable. That's what we are fighting our Govt for. If Ng system is good today, not everybody will still have a car. If you want to be wealthy, think of how you can solve problems with what you learnt in school. The more values you add, the wealthier you are. At least if you go to school, there must a guaranty of a comfortable life. A small car, good accommodation, you can afford to pay your bills. Not Ferrari or mansion.
- This same bad country, I know several youths in different states making an average of $3k per month on YouTube and several other legit online businesses. It took some 5yrs before they reach there. Can you fly a private jet with that?No. Can you buy a Ferrari with that?No. Can you drink expensive champagne with that? no. But, the average present Nigerian youths can never be patient for 5 yrs to learn and follow the process. I told a group of youth to learn some Java Android and Objective C so that they can be building apps. The first thing they asked was how long will it take them to make good money. I told them it may take 2yrs of learning and maybe 8 yrs of consistent creating. I said they will be making token along the way to make them live a simple life but may not hit big until after 10 yrs. I said they will keep launching different apps to solve people's problem. Along the line, luck may shine on them and they will build an app that the whole world will be crazy about. They all run away. This is a group of 18, 19, 20 yrs old. Why are our youths running to music instead of coding? Why do they want to be IG influencer or comedian on IG instead of splitting up cars and coupling it back? Easy routes.

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 Saudi citizen 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.

Lol

lizabeet:
So Kim will be the first lady if he wins.

You think trumps current wife is better than Kim? Google her

Can't be worse than Trump or Buhari

authority2006:
You are still helping spread this yesterday nonsense of a post? I guess you didn't bother to read the number of quotes that nonsense post received with negative responses.

Did you see the likes

that comment had More likes than quotes

obviously not everyone would agree everyone is not supposed to agree especially on topics as dicey as that, morality is a spectrum to each individual has his definitions. That is why morality and law are 2 different things what is moral isn't always legal and what is legal isn't leats moral.

If you are judging based on engagements the original post had over 450 likes and less than 20 quotes, meaning it received 20 times more positive feedback than negative even some of the quotes were positive one even urging me to be President.

Don't attack the argumentators or the supporters of the argument, attack the argument itself.

Covid the great equaliser,

Old people please retire go and rest hand over to the youths and young adults before covid catches up with you

Youth by United Nations definition is 15 to 24 years old

If you are above 35 you done old finish no need to hand over to you, you have acquiesced your right so the doctrine of laches and acquiescence will apply to your claim

Send the list to Hushpuppi him and his PDP allies will buy them and create their own football club

tillaman:
Na depression go kill the guy I swear, person wey dey stay for Palazzo suites go come dey confined to a small space with toilet in one angle and person wey dey chop better cuisine go dey chop prison food I swear this life funny, as of May 2020 if person tell am say by early July e go dey Interpol net he go change am for that kind person!!
C’est la vie

You forget he is used to poverty before he became hushpuppi he was a poor Nigerian just like you

RenaissanceGuy:
Maybe a ritualist took him to be used for sacrifice and the juju man 'fell in love' with him and decided to adopt him.

But how come a 20 year old is looking like 30?

Suffer

Condition make Cray fish bend

Major breading done occur.

You know trust your political yahoo boys

Check his bank accounts he must have received big cash prior to publishing that article. They are looking for ways to legitimise their loots so even the poor ex recharge card seller has contracted people to write stories about how he was rich when he was 10 before he worked for bubu and started earning 350k

Nothing sabiu Tunde Yusuf no go see under umbrella

Too much talk please let us see actions.

We Nigerians over do yet achieve nothing this explains why it takes us 5 days to dry block the same 5 days is what it takes the Chinese to build mega hospitals we are still waiting for block to dry

Yes

This writeup is not well researched and as such it is unclear and difficult to understand.

There may be some truth to the piece but it needs to be clearer

The Central Bank keep dollars and issue promisory notes or tell banks to give such and such person the naira equivalent of whatever dollar money was sent to him or if he wants dollar they'll tell the bank to give him or her the dollars the banks have while the CBN holds the dollar the sender sent in the USA this is to regulate the amount of dollars in Nigeria and prevent over dependence on dollar as well as too much dollars from entering Nigeria or too many Nigerians seeking dollars this helps give the naira the little value it has

And another one bites the dust many more politicians to go

Covid 19 the great equaliser, Thank God for covid

IvarTheBoneless:
Before you go on and on....

Britain has eliminated citizenship by birth...jus soli as far back as 1983

Lemme check.

True but I'm sure Seyi Tinubu has citizenship or at least settled status he stayed in the UK for many years even got a law degree there and settled status all you need for settled status is 5 years stay, pre settled is 2 years all the other requirements are moi moi for Seyi
With these his child born in the UK can get citizenship

We don't care

Women will marry anything for money

Meanwhile do you notice that the baby is a British citizen? Lol can you see your leaders? They plan to loot the nation dry and flee with their kids and grandkids abroad dey there dey mumu yourself fighting for them many of them will remain abroad until their parents have appointments for them I can list many currently living abroad full time, you that knows Nigeria and Nigerian politics like the back of your palm nothing for you.

You that is here fighting for them because they are your tribes men are only decieving yourself when the time comes they will run and leave you infact they will carry children of their opposition politicians from other tribes and abandon you a no body that is from their tribe.

You doubt me? Do you know Uzor kalu children, Buhari children and co
used to chill at kalu's house in Abia state you that is from Katsina go and enter Buhari's house na let me see you, you that is from Abia go and enter Kalus house let me see

As for the baby's name: The baby has just 3 names. Official documents usually recognise just 3 so all the excess are just formalities
