guobe:
242 million dollars in 1998 was quite outrageous.

Was 20 billion naira
1 dollar was 86 naira in 1998
Now that same amount is over 300 billion naira

For you to sell a non existent airport to a bank is quite incredible and this guy pulled it off.

Everyday247:
I've see a video explainer on YouTube. The guy wasn't some skilled scammer. It was the incompetence of a big bank of Brazil's higher ups that led to the issue.
The official didn't even do any research before agreeing to send the money.
And also the money was sent to a personal account instead of a corporate account that big companies use.
The deal did not even go through the federal government.

guobe:
It's still a bold move by him even if the bank officials were incompetent and it pulled off.

Everyday247:
It was one of those low quality scams like those kinds where the scammer claims they are kings and need the victim's help to save their kingdom and they will be rewarded.

Only people with single digit IQ fall for this kind of scams.

Samueltemi337:
Yeah
He claimed he was the CBN president at that time

And you think this is a flex?

It you knew how much life changing career opportunities and businesses Nigerians have lost because of the infamy of being a notorious scamming nation, you wouldn't be posting this rubbish like it's a flex.

This man is one of the men that is making foreigners that want to invest in Nigeria or employ Nigerians doubt Nigerian's integrity therefore losing millions or even billions of dollars that could have been injected into Nigeria in the forms of employment opportunities or businesses.

JOACHINpedro:
You were actually glorifying fraud

JOACHINpedro:
No need for the gaslight. Fraud is a serious crime. And yes I take it too serious and personal

guobe:
