All those ones are even lesser scams. All these corporate organisations in Nigeria scam customers. Nigerian Banks, Telcos, Insurance, Pensions, FMCGs, Petrol and Gas fueling stations etc.
Exactly. The scam happens at different levels of management and trickles down to the non-management level.

Though the Executive Management is often aware, but they overlook the small cases, especially if discretion is applied.

They have this unwritten policy of: "everybody na thief, who dem catch na him be barawo". They hate blatant fraud and corruption, that's why their C-Suites are very ruthless and run those organizations with iron hands.

The fact that you no longer work with a company does not extinguish your obligation to maintain the confidentiality of its private information. Any disclosure of internal matters to third parties—whether through conversations, social media, or any online platform—constitutes a clear breach of confidentiality, violation of privacy, and breach of any non-disclosure obligations, whether expressly stated or implied by law.
Your duty of confidentiality survives your exit from the company. Do not assume that anonymity on social media or the internet shields you from liability. It does not. Any unauthorised disclosure can attract legal consequences, including civil actions and other remedies available to the company.
And you think those companies commiting frauds against their clients will be willing to take the risk of exposing their criminality?

I worked as a PA to a VVIP.

I can't say anything but immediately I resigned, I stopped judging yahoo boys. I don't support them but they don't steal a fraction of what your politicians steal undisturbed.

I can't even bring myself to pray for Nigeria anymore because I don't think it'll work.
How much did the vvip stole? Give true rough estimate not exact figure.

Ex-SRE at a well known telcos

That network with 99.999% uptime?
The smart routing?
The real time DNS resolution?
It’s all a lie.

The provisioning system runs on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box in an abandoned warehouse in Lagos. It hasn’t been rebooted since 2016. We call it The God Machine. If it dies, no customers get service.

The real-time DNS updates? They’re batched. Every 12 hours. At 3:00 AM and 3:00 PM. If you change your DNS settings at 3:01 PM, they won’t propagate until 3:00 AM.
The anycast network? It’s not anycast. It’s a script that picks the closest base station by IP geolocation using a CSV file last updated in 2013. If you’re in ibadan, you’re routed through ondo . Even if lagos is closer.
The DDoS protection? It’s just a firewall rule that drops packets if the source IP appears in a list of known bad addresses.

It so easy for anyone to intercept packets routing any call and messages in nigeria , you dont need a court order to do such. The easy part is using an sdr to mimic a base station.

Captive portal is so buggy that you can own data sub without touching any money if ykyk
Omor this one difficult to understand oo undecided

Tomato paste has no tomato flavor or ingredients.. it’s all starch and coloring.

I have worked in a soap company do you know bathing soap and washing saop is made with the same ingredients the difference the fragrance and quality of the forming agent.

loan companies that are not registered cannot do anything to you, they can only call and threaten because they are also avoiding the government and some of them like where I used to work don't pay full tax.

Some of the big boys that order drinks in club from 1m nd above to impress people, pass the back door to return it to us and dash us small money😷.

You are legally entitled to sue a bank for up to ₦10 million if it unlawfully deducts even as little as ₦50 from your account, provided you have lodged a formal complaint with the bank and allowed the seven-day resolution period to lapse without redress.

STOP 🛑 buying plantains chips especially from those hawkers in traffic. They melt black rubber in the oil before frying the plantains. Their reason is that it makes the plantains chips hard to break after packaging it.. stay safe out there

I spy on a cargo company, they put big rock 🪨 inside ur bag 🎒 to make ur stuff very heavy, so that you can pay more. and after they weigh and u make payment they remove the rock.

Someone currently work in a spices company… all they do is go to the market, buy in bulk from popular companies and fill in their bottles and seal with their logo and then sell to customers at higher prices 🙂😅… crazy how customers complement their spices saying it’s the best not knowing it’s the regular one in the market thats just rebranded 😆

Most noodles we eat are expired and it only gets repackaged.

worked at a skincare company,,we used one lotion with different name tags to sale to clients for different skin issues 😎

As a student, if you wanna pass exams easily, just track who ever is the lecturer's favourite, 99% chance that person is gonna mark scripts ....

Not just scripts but even assessments and results filing. Also most lecturers books na outsiders dey help them write am, so before you look at one professor like god, just know most of them don't do the heavy lifting, they only take the glory ...
Last paragraph - Law 7( 48 laws of power) applies here and honestly, I don't think there's anything wrong with that

The iphone they sell in Nigeria are all repackaged. Explain to me how my Aunt bought a phone in Nigeria and it had issues and went to their shop abroad when she went for vacation for repair and it was a stolen phone.

Have you tasted some powdered beverages abroad? You will know the one they sell here in Nigeria, they are killing you slowly in Nigeria.

Someone is even trying gag people from exposing the cruel business practice.

The best decision anyone reading this right Noe can do is this


Find a way to leave Niger, things will only get worst.


In most francophone Africa countries its hard to see counterfeit goods there.

But here regulators collect bribe and turn a blind eye.
