Don't misunderstand me, I 'm not saying fraud is good but guys who can defraud people of over a billion Dollars have to be really smart!


I think the real problem is they are part of Nigeria's failed system. People believe it's better to cheat than to be honest. Parents would rather hire people to help their children cheat in JAMB than hire private teachers to help them study and pass honestly.


This failed system has given people a wrong mindset that it's better to cheat than to be honest. If anyone ever taught these guys that it's better to be honest that to cheat, me thinks these guys would still have turned out very successful with the kind of brilliance they obviously have got

Many of us condemning them here are cheats as well.

The fact that you consider clear ingenuity as genius outlines the root problem of misplaced values. They are criminals and that's that. There is nothing smart about pretending to be a female love interest hiding behind a computer to deceive & tell cheap lies, or following a fraudulent format to defraud companies.

Even if they defrauded 1 billion people of $1 Trillion, it still amounts to mental laziness and a criminal mind.

If they were real geniuses, they would find apply their knowledge to ventures that would benefit mankind like real geniuses around the world (Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Gates) and not hurt or cheat mankind.

Opening a thread to attempt to glorify them and shift blame of their lack of morals to society (when honest beggars abound) is definitely not part of the solution.

Adonko:
Yes I agree with you to large extent on a fair ground but the truth is life ain't fair either, and there is nothing like honest begger, there exist no honesty in begging.

Be that as it may, even though we don't want to glorify criminality, exempting the society especially the govt from the negative fallout and bad name this country carries around the world today, is synonymous to wrapping a dark pot with pure white cloth. The govt of this nation since independence has been a total shame in terms of improving the system/institution as well as living standards of the citizenry.

If there is a systemic failure in any nation it will definitely Rob on her citizens, Nigeria as a nation is sick and it is affecting her citizens adversely.

I will still say these guys are Genius irrespective of the usuage of such brilliance, they could've have been much better if there was a needed platform for them to build on in this zoo of a nation called Nigeria .

stop blaming the country situation for this fraudsters...who told you they are poor?..have u not seen rich kids involved in scam?...check most gboys qrlll,they are okay, just very greedy and lazy!!!!

QuotaSystem:
There exists no honesty in begging? Are you aware that a beggar who depends on alms without cheating and stealing is a million times more virtuous than a rich drug dealer? Go and read the scriptures.

At the base of this are value systems. Do you think it's a coincidence that most of the 80 are from one specific demographic? Do you think failures of government and its impact are restricted to that group? No matter how bad government is, a person not inclined towards criminality will avoid such and rather suffer instead of turning to crime for solace. This is an undeniable fact.

We don't have to agree with one another. Let's at least be honest with ourselves. They had a platform as powerful as the internet and lived in a foreign working society, but chose to use the same to cheat and steal - that is no fault of the Nigerian government but that of a bent, lazy and uninspired criminal mind.

Adonko:
I am not saying all G-boys involved in crime are poor or rich, yes I agree with u there are element of greed especially after most have hit it big, the Oliver twist factor still come to play .

Nevertheless, I totally frown at anyone who tells me to stop blaming the country/govt for the negative turnouts of many youth today .

Let's go little bit into practical real life situations.
Do you think that every prostitute you see today enjoys the trade and just woke one day and choose to be one ..

OR, you will just wake up having almost everything working well for you and you decide to face the road through the desert Libya road to Europe .

Or you think he is proud after coming out top in engineering burning candles day and night, sweating to pay fees, even denying himself food inorder to meet academic needs , and 7 years down the line he still underemployed as a community teacher receiving less than 20k montly .

Look I could go on and on, there is a limit to patience, the leaders of this nation have destroyed the future of many youth. They are the cancer of this nation.

Let the govt change things positively and people will change. It is now from macro to micro not the other way round.

Well I don't know you and am not in a better position to know how far life has taken you to ...but one thing is sure and also an undeniable fact that the situation, circumstances as well as the trend of life can either make or Mar a man, meaning it can inform the basis of your decision.

I saw hell in life I wanted to die, those who met thier parents in stack poverty will understand this deeply, and those who met thier parents in affluence don't know what God has done for them, the odd against a poor man's child becoming successful in this modern times is getting slimmer and slimmer daily without engaging in some stuff, yes I said it, it takes grace to succeed in Naija without being corrupt.

I totally disagree with this your comment sir

While I can agree with you that extremely unfavorable life circumstances can push a person over the edge, let us remember one salient fact about this case.

Am responding to the bolded yes they had those stuff going for them, but as you know a dog who is already use to eating poo poo will still continue to eat it irrespective of changes in location.

The systemic failure caused by these failed leaders have robbed on them already psychologically, emotionally and otherwise. Our leaders should live up to expectation and watch how things take a dramatic turn.

I don't blame youth of these days cos times are hard, am not supporting crime but am only taking a comprehensive and cursory look at its cause and pointing finger to the real & major cause of it.

You're still making excuses for crime sir, my parents were comfortable, but life happened and we became broke. Dad lost his job, mum's health deteriorated and she couldn't work. I started learning to subject myself to work hard than demean myself by engaging in prostitution... to make ends meet. I focused on needs only and not wants. These criminals can meet their needs legitimately if they want to but rather it's their wants that's insatiable they want to satisfy.
The reason they come on social media to display their purported success. It takes a man of integrity to face poverty head on bearing in mind that he's on track to change his status but how soon, he can't say.
I can't be with a man without integrity as I don't want offspring I'd worry about in the future. I have a personal brand to build that transcends beyond just having money by any means.
The government has done nothing for me but I can't wait for them as my destiny is in my hands. It's easy to trade blame when we fail than accept responsibility for our actions. Why didn't they collectively come together to oust the government, take over power and put the right things in place to make the country work......

BALDERDASH!!!

An average man from the condemned end of the country actually sees nothing in crime. This is why no matter how disgraceful his brother acts, he tries to make people see something special about the action.

The failed system is what y'all criminal minded people keep blaming. Are you the only one in the system? You have an opportunity to relocate to a place where the system is working but you still chose fraud. Is that not a curse?
