Business / How To Convince Foreigners To Do Legitimate Business With You In Nigeria by InspireWealthB: 7:04pm On Jul 15, 2019
It is no doubt the increase in cyber crimes has made foreigners sceptical about doing any kind of business with anyone from Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria.

The moment you mention you a Nigerian in business forums with people from different countries, most people begins to avoid you like a plague. As a result of this, thousands of business ideas that would have solved one problem or the other do not receive the much needed support from the international community and with time dies completely.

I remember meeting a man in 2016 at Benue State who was producing a Generator that doesn’t use petrol or water and is capable of staying 6 to 12 months without the need of being serviced.

While talking with me , the man lamented how the activities of some Nigerians who are into internet crimes (Yahoo-Yahoo, Yahoo plus etc) has made several international organisations, companies and even individuals he has written to about his work not to take him seriously, thinking he might just be one of those fraudsters.

As painful as his story is, he is just one out of so many Nigerians that have lost different opportunities to partner with foreigners to do a legitimate business right here in Nigeria.

If you are searching for how to easily convince foreigners to do a legitimate business with you, the insights you get from this post will be of a great help to you. Just keep reading!

How To Get Foreigners To Trust You And Do Legitimate Business With You

Here is what and what you need to do to get foreigners to trust you and do a legitimate business with you in Nigeria.

1. Do not “form” accent. Be very Real

Unless you have lived in the foreigners country for long periods of time , do not start “forming” their accent when you communicate with them.

Be very real and speak exactly the way you used to on a daily basis. 99 percent of the time, they already know you have a different accent and not expecting you to blend in to theirs. Avoid words like “I wanna,” I gonna,” “Ama do this or that” etc.

When you are talking with an American unless you are living there presently 99% of the time , you end up using such words wrongly and looking like a dummy.

Imagine telling an American “Hi buddy, I gat a biz deal that’s gonna make you rich if you wanna gimme a try. Ama telling ya, you ain’t seen this kinda money before.”

Trust me, he will just rush to look up your profile and once he detects anything outside “American” he will conclude you are a scammer and cut ties with you immediately.

2. Keep The Conversation Formal

In striking a business deal with foreigners, you must learn to keep the conversation very formal. Avoid unnecessary slangs and words.

For instance “Good morning ma, your recent picture on your profile looks so hot and sexy I wish I could just squeeze those things you got in up there in your front and behind. Meanwhile I have a multimillion dollar business idea I would like to show you so we could join our resources together and develop it.”

If you send something like that to foreigner whom you just recently met with the hope of getting a meaningful reply, you might as well wait forever!

Always keep the conversation formal even when the potential partner or investor tries diverting the conversation, most times it could be a test.

3. Get Your Business Registered With CAC

The Nigerian Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is the the body that is responsible for registering and issuing a business certificate from the Federal Government guaranteeing the legitimacy of your business.

Do not underrate the power of that certificate at all. It can open a whole lot of doors for you both within and outside Nigeria.

Ensure you get your business fully registered with CAC regardless of how young it is or its financial strength. Unless you want to keep playing the local league when it comes to expanding your business and maximizing your business or potentials.

One of the commonest way to convince foreigners that your business is legitimate is to show them a government issued certificate with the business name and registration number clearly written on it for verification purposes.

4. Have a Government Issued Identity Card

It is shocking that even in 2019, there are still some Nigerians without any form of government issued ID cards. No National ID, Voters Card, Drivers Licence or International Passport.

How then do you prove you are a Nigerian to a foreigner? You want to use your birth certificate or NEPA bill? Lol.

Find time to visit NIN or Voters Card registration centres and get a valid ID for yourself sir! We are in 2019 for crying out loud, not 1800BC.

Always keep a snapshot of that your ID card on your most used device (Phone, Laptop etc) and be ready to present it to a foreigner whenever the need arises.

5. Avoid “Begging” For a Deal Or Partnerships

Present your ideas in such a way it will easily convince anyone who comes across it to strike a deal with you, but by all means avoid “begging” for it.

You know what I mean by begging for it? Here is a sample:

“Hi Mr. Steve Sandman, my name is John and I come from a very poor background in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, for the past 20 years my family has been going through hell and now God wants to uplift us by giving me this great idea that is capable of making me a millionaire in less than a month and changing our lives forever. Please let God use you to end our suffering as you partner with us in this business deal with $10,000.”

That is pure rubbish, trash! No foreigner will ever partner with you in business simply because your family has been suffering for the last 1000 years. Don’t deceive yourself bro.

They are out to make money as well and want to hear about your business deal and what they can get out of it. Not about your suffering.

6. Develop A Proper Business Plan/Proposal

Do not just copy craps from the internet and send to foreign organisations or individuals in the name of a business plan or proposal.

Get professional writers to write them for you. If you must pay for it, do so knowing its worth.

7. Have An Online Presence

There is something seriously wrong or “mysterious” about a businessman or company that is not on any known social media or own a website. These are the first places foreigners turn to when they want to verify the authenticity of your business.

Don’t be an “Oga Bonny” that sees the social media or anything internet as evil. Get on social media and meet people from different parts of the world. You never can tell how far that will go towards changing your life and business.

Crime / How To Easily Identify Fraudsters On Different Social Media Platforms by InspireWealthB: 8:12am On Jun 15, 2019
Fraudsters are everywhere. In real life and most especially on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Instagram, Google, Email Messengers and so on), stripping people of their hard earned resources and causing them so much heartbreak along.

How do you identify one when you meet him on social media and avoid all the unnecessary pains and stress that comes along with their fraudulent activities? Find out in this post.

What is social media fraud?

Online or social media fraud goes by many names in different places and among different folks.

In many parts of Nigeria for instance, it is popularly known as “Yahoo Yahoo”, “Maga-way”, “Mugu-pay” etc.

It is an illegal activity in which a fellow (a fraudster, also called a Yahooboy) uses deceitful methods to extort money or other valuable resources from an individual or group of people. The victims are commonly referred to as Maga, Mugu and several other derogatory names.

With the rise in internet activities especially social media, also comes the rise of these individuals whose sole target is to scam people of their hard earned resources.

Let me briefly show you the most common ways fraudsters operate on different social media platforms and how to deal with them.

How Fraudsters Operate On Social Networks

While chatting on different social media platforms and browsing through the internet, taking cognisance of these characteristics of fraudsters or scammers will help you avoid falling a victim to their numerous deceitful strategies.

1. Religious Strategy


This is certainly one of the biggest ways fraudsters operate on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and others.

Have you ever accepted a Friend Request from someone on Facebook and the next minute the “friend” starts bombarding your inbox with lots and lots of prayers - especially goodwill prayers, without exchanging any form of pleasantries or even getting to know who you are well?

That is one major way social media fraudsters operate. They often start with prayers until they are able to get into your heart and then the real scamming follows.

Apart from this “prayers of blessings” method, they also open individual account and pages using the names and photos of popular religious leaders in the country and start querying you about your spiritual life.

If you ever complain of facing any form of challenges in any area of your life, they will quickly give you solutions that will definitely tie to you giving them money either directly or through “someone in need of help God said you must give money to.”

Many have fallen for this. Do not be among them.

When someone sends you a Friend Request on Facebook, go through his Timeline and find out how many meaningful posts and photos he has on his profile.

If it is just two or three posts or pictures of different people or same people with different “photoshopped” backgrounds, chances are he or she is a scammer, a fraudster and a social media religious thief.

2. Dating Strategy


Women who are desperate for a relationship or to have someone to love them, are often the easiest victims of fraudsters that employ the dating strategy.

Identifying these scammers are a little bit tougher than the first as they often come like people who are genuinely interested in having a serious relationship with you. However, they have their characteristics as well.

These set of fraudsters often focus only on your physical appearance, they try as much as they can to flatter you with words that are often a shallow expression of who you really are.

After winning your heart, the next thing is to devise ways to get you send them some money with the promise of either marrying or doing something else for you.

3. Business Strategy

These set of social media fraudsters often announce on their posts and tweets they have a highly profitable business they are starting or have started already and wants to give the opportunity for people to partner with them and make money.

The commonest way they do this is through direct messages on Twitter, Facebook or Email.

They often do not have a registered business name or product with Coperate Affairs Commission (CAC). No website or blog where you can get more information from and most times no physical location.

Some even go to the length of arranging a fake physical location to dupe the innocent ones but give them time and you will discover the location they gave you are not really theirs.

Before accepting a business deal that will require you making transactions, ensure you have made a proper research concerning the business.

Ask people around for the genuineness of whatever company they claim to represent. Google and visit the company websites and if possible verify the company registration with CAC. It may seem like a lot of work but it is worth it.

4. NGO/Begging Strategy


These set of online fraudsters are very easy to come by. They often come to you on social networks parading themselves to be representatives of NGOs that are out to take care of the poor, the aged, orphans or even motherless babies.

They mostly use images of black African children looking so poor, dirty and dying of hunger. Images of sick or people in need you can hardly ignore.

Of course, not everyone who says they are representatives of NGOs are fake. Some are genuine. Very genuine. However, scarce to come by.

To avoid falling a victim to these fraudsters, make sure you don’t get overwhelmed with emotions of pity when you see such images and act from your heart while ignoring your head.

A wise man once said, “follow your heart. But take your head along.” I agree.

Do not just jump into any wagon of “needy starving children” only to discover you have been scammed by fraudsters.

Get all the necessary information you can about any group or NGO you meet on social media and help when you know they truly exist and are really doing what they claim to be doing.

5. Gift Strategy


These ones often come to your inbox claiming to have something they want to give you. I have encountered them before and almost fell for their lies.

They claim to have been watching you for some time and discovered you are a very nice person so they will like to either assist you with some chunk of money or give you to keep for them due to one reason or the other they can’t keep the money with themselves.

Before you know what is really happening, they have extorted from vital information from you that they can even use to milk you dry and at the same time even put you in trouble with the Law.

Ensure you are not easily carried away when you hear about such “free” money. Do not let them stir up greed in you and then later use it against you.

Why will anyone be willing to throw around money and gifts just because they like you? Even the Federal government doesn’t do that.

Shine your eyes very well and be grateful for what you already have. No matter how small.

6. Tourist Strategy

Fraudsters using this strategy often send you a mail after you have accepted their friend request on Facebook claiming to be coming to your country in few weeks or days and would like to meet you so you can show them around.

The message is often in this format:

Hello…..

Greetings from London dear….

I intend to visit your country next month for tourism.

Let’s keep in touch through mails for more explanation, due to the busy schedule of my work my presence on Facebook is limited.

Please contact me so so and so email,

Best regards

Dr. Stevens.

If you have ever come across such people on any social media - especially Facebook, don’t get carried away with their tourism message, it is all scam. Techniques social media Fraudsters use to dupe people.

Dealing With Social Media Fraudsters


There are several ways you can deal with someone you have noticed to be a fraudster on social media. Some of these ways includes:

1. Report The Account To Site Admins

Most people do not even know they can report fraudulent accounts to admins of several social networks.

When you discover any unusual behaviour in a person’s individual account or page that seems like scam, quickly report that account or page to the social media admins and don’t feel guilty about it. You may saving someone somewhere from their attacks.

After you have reported such accounts, the admins of the site go into work and verify things for themselves. If your suspicion is true, the account will be blocked or deleted from the social media completely.

2. Report The Account To The Police

There is a department in Police that regularly handle online related crimes. In Nigeria for instance, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) takes great pleasure in dealing with such individuals.

Even though the activities of EFFC and SARS have been greatly criticized in recent times, the truth remains that these security agencies are working (to some extent) to keep our society safe and free from crimes.

Do not hesitate to let them know about any fraudulent activity you discovered to be going on online.

Remember, while some of us may pity criminals at times, some of us are very serious victims of their crimes.

Our country already has enough bad names in the outside world when it comes to online crimes, let’s prove to the world we are not all fraudsters and are actually one of the most genuine and hardworking people on earth.

Let us not encourage crime in any way or even have a part in it.
