A critical Study why Most Nigerians fall into Fraud. Our country today has seen lot's of fraudulent activities that are on the increase daily. One will ask what has caused the rise of this activities, why is it prominent amongst young men/women? Well most people will,Attribute the rise of this fraudulent act to unemployment and the likes, but we should know that even in the most developed country there still exist these fraud. So what then is the cause of this rise of activities? Why is it lucrative? I have carefully studied it, Although my out come might not please most people but it is important we see this from another dimension. Marcus Aurelius, A stoic philosopher, in his book titled "Meditation". I was able to understand that True Happiness comes within, it doesn't come from things around us,Neither does it comes from things we have nor things people give but our self realization that happiness is within. With this understand I came to the following conclusion. People tend to have happiness from things around us, like money, people, jewelries, relationship,Forgetting that this yearning to derive happiness from things other than ourselves causes one to have greed, lack of contentment. Etc. Thus this lead to heartbreaks unnecessary expectations and yes the ultimate notion of reaping where one do not sow,Thus, my understanding became more enlighten, people fall into scam activities because they want to earn more were they didn't sow, to live a life of affluence infested by social vices. It is this greed that these fraudsters feasted on. Giving you the unrealistic ideas,I was once a victim of scam, it was played on my greedy part. It was a very simple scam, but I was greedy. But later on I learnt the error of my ways. Thus, I did critical study on how I fell prey on such. I found out that I was greedy. Then it occurs to me that if I was not,If I was contented with what I have I wouldn't have fallen into such. Then I went further on my more research to ask people if they have ever fallen into fraud once, 60% of the people I asked have in one way or the other been frauded, then I asked how did u fall into such,Well the popular answer was I just want to make more. So I came to the conclusion that if we are not greedy, if we are contented with what we have, if we don't want to sow were we didn't reap, these activities of fraud won't be lucrative as it is now. Thus, Even as jobs need to be provided,One need to be contented with what he/she has. If this is done, I bet if there is no "Maga" to be defrauded the fraudulent activities anymore. This is my thought on it. I'm Sage_bami. |

charmingfrank:learn to place paragraphs on your write up! you are very wrong about your submission. Greed is only one of the reasons. lack of due diligence from the victims and outright dishonesty on the part of the fraudsters are also verifiable reasons for the success of fraudsters. for instance, how would you explain this thread below... https://www.nairaland.com/5261197/property-fraud-how-resolve-issue are you telling me the victims are greedy?! it has nothing to do with greed on the part of the victims, because they did nothing wrong, except trusting the fraudsters |

herakles:. I will do just that in my next write up. Well,if u have really studied it, I said most people won't agree with it. Greed is not an Holistic method but a piecemel. However, the place of greed won't be rule out. |
