Some things are easier said than done.. Living in Nigeria is different from going to visit.
If you live in Nigeria, some things will have to give.
My kid sister after months of pre-degree was given admission @ Uni Ilorin.. I mean she saw her name on the admission list. Fast forward to going back to pay acceptance fee and register, name don disappear. Someone probably swapped her name with another person's name. My dad angrily enrolled her in a private Uni. He could afford it, otherwise, that would mean another one year at home. For those who cannot afford it, will you keep on waiting when you know your child is well qualified?
I was robbed some years back, I still had to pay Police to get police report after losing so much..
It is easy to sit behind a screen and say let us stop giving excuses if you are in some situations, you simply do not have a choice.

He was not caught or anything

He does not even know how they got to know

LagosismyHome:

For Nigeria to get better, the mindsets of most Nigerians needs to be rebooted. You can’t give excuse for any kind of corruption. Most of the things done in Nigeria if you do them here, you will go to jail. If Nigerians stop giving bribe then there will be less officers asking for bribe.
-Don’t bribe immigration make sure you have got all your right documentation and not carrying anything you’re not suppose to be carrying.
Be courteous and polite when dealing with Nigerian officers.
-Don’t bribe police make sure you have your right documents and obey traffic laws.
Etc.
Anytime time I visit Nigeria, I drive and I get stopped by the police , I produce most of my papers. They call me bad market and ask me to drive off.
The same thing at the Airport. I think it’s morally corrupt and embarrassing for a uniform officer to be begging for money at the point of entry of any country.
There are lots of poor countries around the world that are not as corrupt as Nigeria, it’s just greed, wickedness and laziness bonged into one that is affecting the country.
Enough of the excuses it’s getting boring now.

TheGuyFromHR:
This is the attitude that takes us nowhere.
Individual stands, however commendable, are ultimately futile because the system steamrolls you. What is needed is concerted action.
Nigeria needs root and branch reform and it's well recognised that speaking English on the internet will achieve nothing.
The EndSARS movement was the type of thing that is needed.

What if you don't have a tv?

Olalekank:
Nawa o

Which one is council tax again? Like the bills isn't enough to throw someone in debt, council tax comes knocking.
People will only come and talk about how their rent is "£xyz" without talking about how council tax and bills run into hundreds.

hustla:
What's happening in Nigeria is plain wickedness.. E don pass corruption

TheGuyFromHR:
This is impracticable.
So let's take the corruption at immigration for instance. Say I want to travel and can only get a passport after paying a bribe, as the current immigration setup has it.

Do I decide to be a good Nigerian and pay the official fee and run the risk of never seeing the passport I paid for or simply pay the bribe, get the passport and undertake the trip I want to take?

Let's be realistic. Nigeria needs more than individual pockets of resisters trying to resist what has become the system.

icon8:
This here, is a perfect example of oxymoron. “Let’s stop giving excuses for corruption in Nigeria, but let’s excuse the corruption in the UK because they look after themselves and keep the stolen money within their system, blah blah blah”.

Wehdon sir!

iboboyswag:
My brother, I understand but you see this corruption, it is everywhere even in this obodo UK, they just give theirs fancy names.

It was on this thread that someone mentioned something about former Prime Minister Blair (or some other person) who abused his authority by seeking and awarding contracts or something of that nature.

Recall the act wasn't called corruption rather, it was christened a fancy name.

Nigeria is corrupt. Fantastically and Institutionally, we are very corrupt and I hope we get it right. But you see, my original statement on the matter was borne out of my observation of how sanctimonious most responses are to issues brought to this thread.

Many sit on high horses and condemn or make sweeping verdicts to issues they barely have the facts. And oftentimes, the comments aren't pretty.

Experience has taught me that life is not a one size fit all. Be kind even in reproach.

marylandcakes:
The question people should be asking is how did she end up with a fake admission if she wasn’t trying to cheat the system by bribing her way through.

wonlasewonimi:
Nigerians have abused the name of God way too much.. They use it in any situation whether scamming or hurting people.

This funny thing is most of these scammers are uber dunce, it beggars belief how they are able to get away with it.

STENON:
After watching this video @DISGUY and JUSTWISE Do you blame the scammer ? Or the guys that would be dumb to fall for this smilling scammer ?

STENON:
Even as a friend, you can't fake it for me that you are a graduate. Common! so many things are involved in 4-7 years of studying at the University. How about your pictures when you're in school? No transcripts or graduation booklet ? How about certificate? No course mate or lecturer? So the Parents too are not informed that their daughter didn't graduate from university? Hahahaha... this must be a PlayStation 5

STENON:
I don't blame her but let me blame the husband that didn't know the wife is never a graduate. How about NYSC? Course mates? Graduation ceremony? So many red flags for the man to have noticed such.

AltCtrlDel:
Good day all,

Pls I need advices on behalf of my sister. Her husband wants her to relocate to the UK with the children by going through education route (Master's). However, she didn't complete her University degree having discovered it was a fake admission in year 2.

Now the problem is, she never told her husband and she's very remorseful about it. Although she's willing to tell him but It might be disastrous if she does that right now.

Pls what course can she do in the UK with her 90's WAEC certificate taking the education gap into consideration and coupled with the fact that she needs to bring her children along?

I'm really getting tired of the whole process. I've been writing emails all day to many agents and hiring companies themselves.

Non has replied.

The only reply i get is when the message bounce back as a result of non existence email address.

My God, I'm really tired.

If no one can recommend any agent to me then leave it. Everyone will not leave Nigeria

preciousmudia:
Hello everyone, for standard visa application, the 15 days are weekends counted as well... Or is it 15 working days

Melahou:

Thank you

@justwise

It's even funnier when Indians try to scam a Nigerian. I mean, before scam, Nigeria was.

SamReinvented:
And to make matters more interesting... while indeed Nigerians do a lot of romance scams (fooling a random white woman/man with love), the "Nigerian Prince" scam that got us famous is in fact not done by Nigerians...most of that scam format came from westerners, who just taught it'd be cool to use the name of the prince of some "rich" African country to make money using the middle east format.

No real Nigerian would use the word "Nigerian Prince", cos we all know kings and princes are within village/town jurisdictions, not at National level. Which is not surprising, how every single "Nigerian Prince" scammer that has been caught till this date has turned out to be a white American.

I find it really funny when people fall for this scam. Street OT is enough to know this is scam from a mile away but fear and ignorance makes people fall victim.

Josh121:
I am trying to tell you Nigeria never invented scam, when there was no internet how many Nigerian where involved in scam, before internet got so popular Mexicans where running scam and other countries as well. Nigeria right now is on the lips of everybody cause they talk too much and the like show off , I have lived in India for years I can tell you the scam you see Nigerians run today is a child’s play. For your information the advance fee fraud you hear today which we can 419 originated from Germany in 1922

a word from a grapevine says there is a story behind why the Saudis handed him to the yanks!

Josh121:
Note I am not saying Nigerians don’t scam all I am saying is Nigerians are involve in petty scams but due to media everyone in Nigeria is a scam actually . But I will not argue with you again
