Nigérians will get to a point where the whole world will start avoiding them like a plague. We will get there soon.

We have since reached and surpassed that ugly threshold. How much Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) did Kenya receive in 2024 against Nigeria's?.

NairaX:
This is exactly what happens when a platform becomes the new “street.”
People forget that Yahoo didn’t disappear — it just migrated.

The sad part isn’t even the scammers; it’s how quickly Nigerians fall for anything emotional online without verifying a single detail. Somebody slaps “Gaza,” “sick child,” or “urgent help” on a post and suddenly everyone is a humanitarian.

Truth is, X has turned into a marketplace of identities — today Gaza, tomorrow Sudan, next week “orphans in Jos.”
Meanwhile the real victims never get the help.

Until people start demanding proof before donating, these fake sob stories will keep cashing out.

Na wa o. Too bad, and spoiling things for those who genuinely need help.

A few years ago, I needed urgent financial help, and I got that help from a nairalander, a complete stranger.

They prey on people’s misfortune and wonder why the money don’t last. But how do this guys come out with this crazy formats, even going as far as creating gofundme just to do crime?

Mark Zuckerberg has chased them from Facebook, instagram and WhatsApp. Now they’ve migrated to X.

Brain does not have limit, the more you push it to the wall the more it evolve and create to survive.

Ajeh! Many Muslim pilgrims don't know what's inside the black structure in Mecca; Muslims go to Mecca to worship a stone.

If someone goes to Mecca to bow to a stone, what do we call him or her?

It's my concern because Muslims worship idols based in Mecca! But you Muslims would condemn traditionalists here.

Are you people hypocrites?

How a yahoo boy used X to raise funds by pretending he is from Gaza in Palestine.

Interestingly, it will be those children of erofo and h8 that are supporting isnotreal's genocide that will be behind these fake accounts.
