nothing i have not seen or experienced before. sympathy for the poor in nigeria is dangerous because they see you as an alakowe sucker to be fleeced. in the right circumstances, several of them will have no problem with murdering you for your money. whatever you think you have done for them in the past does not matter.

Poco has detailed some experiences she has had in the past when people she did business with regularly thought they had an upper hand and showed colour

Hmm can you expatiate on this?

don't mind him

Dishonesty is not "trying to survive" There is no excuse for such behaviour

VikingKing:
Crude as the method is, people are trying to survive. If you go round Nigeria looking for a Saint before you can help, I bet you, you won't find a single one. So just do what you must and let their conscientious judge them. That way, you would've taught them a lesson they won't quickly forget. None of us is truly righteous.

are you enjoying stupidity because I can't call that smartness, imagine what they would have benefitted if they were upright

Shegzdave:
What do you expect from a society where people believed the end justifies the means?

well listen if that’s what they believed then it means they don’t believe so anymore 👀🙆🏽‍♂️

Show evidence

I don't believe cooked stories

Stop making excuses. He wasn't looking for a Saint. Being honest in your business dealings doesn't require you to be a Saint.

Not a good excuse

Most Nigerians have criminal minds especially here on nairaland

Mention the period there was no poverty

This one small tin nah. Sebi you see your money collect back. Have you ever experienced a petrol attendant shortchanging you? There are petrol stations I've marked in Lagos. Don't buy fuel at Conoil ikeja along (formerly national) and the one beneath it, when coming out of the local airport(GAT Terminal) to hit the ikeja along road. Don't buy fuel at the FO Station at oba akran avenue and mobil opposite Guinness. If you must buy fuel there, just alight from your vehicle and watch until the last drop enters your vehicle. If you allow anyone to distract you or block your view while the other attendant is dispensing fuel, o ti rogo niyę. Na half fuel go get.

They'd also tell you they're pouring injector cleaner into your tank for a token. Before you pay for the injector cleaner, make sure you collect it from them and be sure it's intact and never been opened otherwise, na empty can dem go insert inside your tank. You go think say something dey pour inside. The day I caught them, they didn't believe their eyes. The attendant couldn't say pim. They were just begging.

Do Nigerians have any conscience? The masses are as bad as the leaders.

Stories that never happened. Be lying to yourself, OP

No truth in your story, Haba at least a single saint will be there oga

I disagree with you on this, they're many Nigerians with good moral standing.
We are not all the same.
The country is hard, economy is biting but not enough justification to defraud other persons.

Please who is the original author?
I've seen so many people telling the same story in first person.

There are good people out there.
The greed of a few does not describe the whole population.
Even in Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot was still godly.

I am waiting for the day a woman will do this.

Why then are the billionaires still stealing? It's not about poverty it's about personality of the individual whether rich or poor

The rich even do more than that, they are the owners of big companies and they do shady things to make their profit and they don't even care of its antithetical to societal development. It's a personal issue and not because of poverty, those dudes will still do the same even if they are rich

RoyalBlu:
I agree with you 💯.

Throw in envy into the mix and it's a round figure

If it's poverty why do the rich do more than that?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Its true nau.

I would have said it was Lamba, but let me just not argue with his experience.

Next week will be about beggars.[/color]

Many of those hawkers in busy spots such as Ore in Ondo state, actually make a lot of money. They have high turnovers and they restock a lot. That's why it is next to impossible to get them off the streets.

joinnow:
Just 2 out of million hawkers.
A larger sample size is more accurate because the study gets closer to the actual population size.

You are right

98 percent of Nigerians are crooks but they expect their leaders to be saints.
Until a majority of Nigerina are ethical and selfless, the country will continue to be the same.
Your leadership is a representation of who you are.

These people will not hesitate to kill you if they have the chance to steal from you. Avoid them at all cost.
