Nigeria doesn't have juvenile prisons


If a kid commits a crime in nigeria, they won't do anything to the child

There are juvenile prisons in Nigeria.

I could have been a victim of this as way back as 2012 also. I guess I have this default setting for not falling for scams.

The other spins of the scam I added are what people who I told my experience, told me scammers attempted on them (these people still fell for these scams recently because they didn't know).

Franzinni:
This format is so old ... They use to use it in Kano and in the north mostly ... Kai... That is why I always try to update myself with scam format so I can detect it ... I swear the format is exactly what they use they just add some extra at the tail end like .... Magic money and other none sense ... Men guy sorry for your loss jare

Yes, it's old format, a lot of people I told, always told me it's old. And I kept asking myself, how come I never heard of this old scam?

So that's why I put out my experience so others who don't know about it yet will know, because there are people who don't know. And if someone doesn't have this scam education, he will fall for it.

Someone who doesn't know it, may fall for it out of mercy.

How can DSS be so lawless?

Helping got me into losses. A man met me claiming he is a trader from Cotonou, that he is Catholic and arrived in Nigeria with electronic goods he needed to sell to get money to get back to Cotonou, that these goods were packed at a convent with a reverend sister that pitied his situation because he was stranded. That his usual buyers in Nigeria abandoned him and refused to buy his goods. He pleaded profusely to help him in getting his goods from the convent to the markets in Onitsha, that he is confused and doesn't trust anybody, that he hears Nigerians are scammers a lot. That can he trust me? (I, that he was planning on how to steal finish).


He was speaking raw English and mostly french (this I later figured out he only knew it superficially).


I had my doubts, but not being too busy that day I decided to help him.

They were in a team of 6 scammers, but team-tagged me by one by one. So immediately the No. 2 in the team walked by and started urging we should help him. Then No. 2 man went and got a No. 3 man who is a keke driver. So we left for the convent. The scam Cotonou trader was smiling all the while and all the while "behind the beautiful smile is an ugly face" kept ringing in my head.


It was at a very quiet location in Obosi that they stole 3 phones, laptop, and cash from me. This happened when I finally concluded in my head, that this man is a thief, and gently asked him to give me one of my phones he borrowed, that I wanted to check something.

While they were robbing me, he started speaking Igbo fluently.


In Upper Iweka Onitsha, this is very common. All of Owerri road in Onitsha, is a haven for thieves who specialize in stealing phones.

Some of the thieves also ask innocent people to join them in a car to direct them to their location or to help someone.

Don't agree to follow a stranger to anywhere inorder to assist him.


After all this, I remembered a friend told me, if you see him outside, you would think he is wicked because he doesn't help strangers.

PS: It is an old scam, a lot of people I told, always told me it is old format. And I kept asking myself, how come I never heard of this old scam?


Anyone travelling along Owerri road in Onitsha should hide their phones well, or if in a private car, close all your windows, so the street urchins can't get the person's phone or rob one.

Lovely! Happy birthday to her.

One of the most painful experiences we get in life, so sorry about your loss sir, my condolences and may his soul rest in perfect peace.

Happy 81st posthumous birthday daddy.

Unwritten law...

In Nigeria there is no wrong place to urinate... If you write do not urinate here, everybody begins to see that spot as a toilet... Nigerians will always be Nigerians...


In my area some one wrote do not urinate here but people kept peeing there, at she some point they added 'idiot' to the start of the sentence but nothing worked... The only way they made people stop was by breaking down the walls and building shops there



Nigerian no send o... If you like put juju there, them go piss on top, shake dick put inside trouser waka go

Nawa o, this one too much.

see were bros dun turn INEC..

No b small thing.

My female friend tells me how her boyfriend always behaves whenever she asks him for money to buy something, he will complain and complain, that this is his last card he is giving out and then some hours later she will go to him to ask for money to buy something else and he will complain and complain again, that this is his last card, that she shouldn't come and ask him for money again. Everytime that this is his last card and everytime money ends up coming out.
One day she asked him for money to buy pad and he said he doesn't have money again, that it was his last card he gave her earlier that day. And then later, she asked him for money to go and buy condom. And he brought out money, she then told him, I thought you said that was your last card and he replied that was his temporary last card, that what he just gave her now is his permanent last card.
And she asked him, this one you are now issuing permanent and temporary last cards, are you now INEC? I hope soon you won't start saying inconclusive when I ask you for card. Or start saying temporarily unable to dispense.
She just used the money to go and buy her pad. And when she came back and he asked her where is the condom? She told him, she bought the pad with it and showed it to him. And then told him that he should wait, that he shouldn't be angry, that this is just the temporary pad she bought. That he should bring another money so that she can go and buy her permanent pad and then the condom. After murmuring, he grudgingly brought out money again.
She told me that ever since that day, he changed and stopped telling her that, this is my last card.

Hope they find peace.

Maybe the man that said the zoo management confessed is the one wey dey confuse us.

This lady living in my compound that is always pouring water on the road and on the men that go to urinate at the wall opposite our compound.
She will always pour water into the veranda of the man living below her or on the floor of hers and it trickles into that of the man. The man will complain and complain and she will apologize to close case. She will pour water on the men that go to urinate at that wall, hide and laugh hard after they finish ranting and leave.
Some while they are ranting, she will come out and starting asking them while they have been shouting, that what is the problem? And behave as if she doesn't know what she did. And when they tell her that somebody poured them water, she will now ask them, is that why you are disturbing the whole neighbourhood with noise?
She will then ask them, what where you even doing that they poured you water? On the asking of that question, the men will just jejely keep quiet and be going.
The few that gather the boldness to tell her what they were doing, she will tell them that since they have been blessing that place with their holy water, and irrigating the weeds there to grow well, can't someone bless them with small rain? That they shouldn't be angry that the rain is just a sign of blessings from the lord, that people who give also receive.
Some, when she pours them water, they turn, look around up and when they can't find the person, they finish their urination, keep quiet and go, probably because of guilty conscience that they are urinating at a wrong place, because it's clearly written on the wall pls do not urinate here.
She finally got caught. One day, a man was already urinating and another man came to join him to urinate, her target probably was to pour water on the two of them at the same time and just as she poured the water, the first man trying to look at the other man who joined him, looked up because the second man looked back at him and caught her.
But trying to pour the water on the two of them, she did it hastily and poured it mainly on the first man and just little touched the second man.
The first man shouted at her why you pour me water. Instead of the woman to apologize o, she started claiming right. That was how the thing turned to full blown argument. And the second man even complained that he has also been poured water there before.
She was busy asking the man that why did he urinate there? Despite the fact it was clearly written there pls do not urinate here. That why is it that it's only men that come to urinate there, that women never come to urinate there.
When the people there now asked her why she poured the man water. She said she has been warning the men that go there to urinate to stop but they tell her that there is nothing she can do, that she is just a lady, so she decided to take matters into her own hands. That she will start storing water she used to wash meat or fish and pour them.
That in fact, that she is going to go and draw a line on what she wrote before and change it from pls do not urinate here to urinate and be urinated on.

He will take note for next year.

Nice to have an indigenous retail chain. Maybe, few years from now they will be able to rival Shoprite.

Gaycubus

NANS is doing more than the Nigerian government.

They are going international.

Fake love is everywhere. Nigerian artistes don't need Beyonce to validate their works.

Boko Haram v2.0

Her choice

Nice one

When kids make wrong choices.

pls what is the name of the app

Faceapp

If pictures of people who are already old, when they were young is taken and processed with Faceapp, will the results match what they look like now?

Even in the US, everything is not beautiful.

Why is Nigeria like this? Don't be surprised the Dr. Diji will lose the case.
