Scamming is accepted as a profession within Nigerian society, which is fair enough, considering the level of human & technological development. Afterall, slave trading and ownership was once a legitimate job in American & British societies at some point in their development...

We cannot stop life from happening, we can only strive to make ourselves into better humans whilst we live it

Scamming is not accepted in Nigeria, and no sensible person should agree with you.
You said Slave trade was once and was fought and rejected.
I don't want to be associated with a scam and scammers are thieves and dregs , dirts and unless beings of the society

The TV documentary series called "60 Minutes, Australia", recently aired an expose on how Nigerian scammers working online are destroying lives in Australia. This footage included a dramatic raid on a 419 scam house filled with computers and scammers at work.

For those who wonder why Nigerians are treated like criminals wherever they travel on this planet, look no further than the effects of the Yahoo Boys internet scam artists.


Yeah, nothing justifies scamming but Nigerians don't even do half what this so called whites do out there. They even scam themselves. The only reasons why it looks this way most of the time is, they don't believe an African or a black man would be able to scam them because the perceive to think they are smarter. I don't think Nigeria is even in the top 5 of countries with highest scammers.

What's the essence of this post? Even though the video is old, why are you bringing it back?

This video looks like the usual raid of efcc. That old man might be there to print a document or something and they are accusing him of being a yahoo boy.

The video dey vex me too, I don't think you'd see any foreign new outlet going to India or china or romania or Albania to raid any cyber cafe, it's always one nigger country.

We are not that sophisticated, just dating scams and the rest even though we are amazing at it and making a fuccin killing at it.

Guy, indians dey hack DStv, they have fake video call app, they are the ones wiping senior citizens pension, doing lottery and btc scams. Huge money.
In china, they are hostels dedicated for scam activities like this, like a scam academy.

North Korean government has a section 39, dedicated for scamming and fraud. Hushpuppi laundered COVID funds for them. Read up on all these things. Nigerians are just casted because we tend to be very loud and skin politics too.

This is false
You tried to sound enlightened but lost it completely in your quest to legitimise scam.
All the countries you just mentioned except North Korea have dedicated their force towards catching the scsmmers and grab the rewards.
You claim its just love schemes, but you probably don't know much, which I won't tolerate.
Google and see how much Nigerian scamers are ruining loves off cards, pensions, etc, and they even scam their relatives as well.

Scammers do exist and operate all over the world for sure, BUT those in Nigeria do constitute a far greater percentage of the general population than is the case anywhere else on the planet, with the possible exception of Jamaica, where lottery scam practitioners are numerous and prolific in their own crime wave.
Well you think so because only Nigeria arrests her youths and make the arrests public for all to see. I’m not holding brief for these dirty-looking and senselessly loud youths who call themselves yahoo boys but do you know that Nigeria is not even among the top three countries with the highest rates of internet scams? I’m not talking about all these cheap romance scams; I’m talking about advanced phishing, Business email compromise fraud (BEC), hacking (how many Nigerian youth sabi hack?) and many other cyber crimes. Why is it that it’s only Nigeria govt that’s fond of arresting and making public their prosecutions of these erring youths? The US government have been warning their citizen against giving out their sensitive information such as SSN and tax details to strangers but some are still defiant. I rarely hear of scenarios where the respective governments of the Philippines, China, India, SA, Brazil or Pakistan arrest their citizen for cyber crimes against foreigners (even if they are doing so domestically, they will never make them public tarnishing and rubbishing their global images as a result like Nigeria is foolishly doing presently)
The Nigerian government doesn’t realize that the more they carry on with this shameful act, the more the external communities keep seeing us as a country of scammers when in fact, we are no where near countries like the Philippines, Pakistan, India Brazil etc

Re: EFCC Raids Yahoo Boys Scamming Australians by emonis88: 1:26pm On Jan 15, 2023
The westerners always painting African Countries to be worst than they r, the story painting the picture of Nigerian fruadsters , scam n old couple n taking away the money they hoped to retire with, so it makes their people angry with Nigerians.
Fruad is a crime n wrong, honest living pays in d long run, but I don't like the journalist twisting the story , that way, they also have criminals in Australia don't they, what of MMM , it originated from Russia, didn't it. Alot of people lost money in MMM, but none is doing a documentary on it to find d person behind it.

Yahoo boys don't know what is opsec and even if you educate them on that they won't listen because the punishment for fraud in Nigeria is not serious than the white countries.

If it were to be an American, Uk, Canada, Australia or Russia their opsec will be tight cuz they know if they Bleep up they are doom. That is why they don't give out WhatsApp, if you ask them for it you must be a fed. Only jabber even telegram users are fools? ?

If na yahoo boys the smalll thing wey then pick they don dey happy because he really nor easy..


A guy was lamenting on nulled, that he has 31 bitcoin (proceeds, of fraud), and he was asking for suggestions on the best way to withdraw or spend it without a trace from the cops. Had it been a Naija fraudster, they will begin to post their wallet balance, on Facebook.

Nigeria is at the bottom echelon when it comes to internet fraud. What they do is crumb fraud. Western, Russian, and Asian fraudsters are the main deal. They are already using deepfakes, voice clones, and spoofers to impersonate banks and heads of parastatals. Most of them are even using naija and African scammers as mules. Hushpuppy is a perfect case study.

Abi d ones wey VIO and Police dey do for road no follow? Even for Lagos, Alaye dey bubble. Some states don start their own Alaye programmes sef.

How far for CBN wey dey restrict dollar purchases, yet deducting money from every goddamn transaction in Nigeria.

What do you mean by commercial slave trade? It is just like comparing killing for organ trafficking with ritual killings for religious purpose.

Slaves weren't originally a trade or commercial activity everywhere in the world.

Slavery and slaves in society evolved in all parts of the world naturally in ancient time but Europeans commercialized their's during their feudal era (slaves were bought and sold in Europe as commercial activity which faded into and as the origin of capitalism) and they made it even worse when they created the Atlantic slave trade- the beginning of Capitalism. There was nothing called Atlantic or any form of commercial slave activity in Africa before the arrival of Europeans.

Cecero, a Roman statesman, once warned a colleague going to buy slaves in Western Europe to avoid British slaves because he said "British people are so dumb that they can't even make good slaves."

Your last point tho .. why do you think west and Uk are migrating smart Nigerians to work in their country ? Cuz they know how smart we've evolved this is why I see "Japa syndrome" as modern slavery undecided

LoL, I feel sorry for Africans who think it's because we're smarter that's why they are opening their borders for skill labour, people who think this way are heavily deluded, every single thing immigration plan is all in their strategy, if they have skill shortage is some areas especially things their own people won't do, e.g. fruit picking, taking care of old people, lack of teachers and nurses to go fight COVID or sick people , they open up their borders.

And they take everything back from you through taxation, and high cost of living, the only thing you get is a working system, and huge mortgage to repay (they can close the mortgage to foreigners when they want), it's why you hardly see those guys legitimately working in UK, Canada and US easily send you money , e no easy, their cost of living is huge

In old oyo empire, slaves were acquired for agricultural purposes. There were arab slave traders before European slave traders. Slavery is Slavery. Killing is killing whether it is for organ harvest or religious sacrifice.

I have had to triage about 5 cyber breaches in the last 6months. Guess the IP location of the attackers trying to gain access to compromised accounts in all of these cases?

Lagos, Nigeria.

It's incredibly saddening you are doing a job as a Nigerian and having to make a report to blacklist your fellow country men from opportunities because a few bag eggs have soiled the well water for others. We wouldn't know the effects on businesses till everything moves to cloud in about 5years and Nigerians can not access shit, can not work from home for foreign coys because their country is blacklisted from the whole world.

Make una continue dey hail them.
