As evident in this article, the problem Nigerians have with corruption and stealing is that the loot has not gotten to them? Many of Hushpuppi's neighbours have no issues with the source of his wealth, they are upset he was not generous with it.
Exactly my thought... But on a second thought, eye wey see must chop" that's just the law of nature grin

Nigerians should not be surprised that Hushpuppi did not help the woman that gave him food when he was struggling or his old friends.


Listen people, help comes from God alone.

No man or woman will help you or uplift your life except God puts it in their heart!

You can never get help from where you expect or by begging people to help you. You can only get alms from them not help that will uplift you and change your life for good.


Only God sends helper.


God can use just anybody; it maybe a stranger, a friend, a relative, a lover, an ex, a colleague, a schoolmate, a neighbor.


God will put the fire in that person. The person will just start having pity over your situation or condition and in that spirit, he or she would help you. It is God that will make your helper to feel your life pains and help you not man.


That is why everyday you wake up, always pray to your God that He should direct your destiny helpers your way, and that God should preserve the life of your destiny helpers so that they won't die before they meet you, because some people are suffering today simply because their destiny helpers died before they helped them.


As you pray everyday pray for all your destiny helpers wherever they are. Pray for protection of their lives, pray for their success too.


God used Alamesiya to change the destiny of Goodluck......God also used Yaradua and OBJ to touch Goodluck's life.


God used Tinubu to change Osinbajo's life.


God can use a sinner, an idol worshipper, a bad person to change your destiny, it doesn't matter.

Another problem the black man has is, we don’t understand the value of various professionals. This isn’t even about Hushpupi, you will notice it in businesses.

A business will employ a social media manager, then they’ll want you to do the job of a PA, secretary, administrator, UI/UX...etc. We don’t understand specialization. That is why we have graduates asking the importance of some courses. Nobody is calling on them for their services and expertise. There is the kind of money you have, you should surround yourself with seasoned professionals. Every sector should be covered, but no, you only know your picker and hacker.

What exactly are we supposed to do with this story? feel sorry for him? ignore his criminalities? he wasn't the only one who grew up in poverty, alot of people did and are still in poverty, they didn't become fraudsters, i don't know how people like housppupi sleeps at night knowing that all their wealth, expensive cars, Gold bars luxury houses and tons cash in their banks are stolen from other people. how long did he think he would carry on before the people he stole from comes after him? i bet he is glad he was caught, he would have been afraid all of his life. A massive load has been ofloaded of his shoulder now he is about to pay for his crimes.

If and when he is out after serving his sentences and becomes poor again he can always call himself a repented pastor and contiue with his scams only that time he will be a crooked pastor scamming gullible people just like oyedepo and other pastors

Accidentally rich people with the mindset of poverty will still become poor because they lack the principles to sustainable wealth that is why the likes of Abiola will become so rich and his family/children will become broke.he was rich,he wasn't sustainably wealthy.so there was no how he could maintain his wealth


Check out people who become unexpectedly rich and aren't givers.they eventually go back to square 1.its an inevitable principle of wealth.
Which Abiola please??

Some people who spoke with TheCable said Hushpuppi was already rich enough to buy the street and turn it into an estate, but he wouldn’t.

A hotel on the street, at a time, was up for sale and Sikiru Adekoya, his close friend who was also arrested alongside Hushpuppi, was said to have called him to buy the building, but he showed no interest.

“What has all his money amounted to now that we can’t even point to one thing he did in his area?” one of the sources asked.

“The house he was born in was here on Oworo road, and now that place has been bought and turned into a car wash. I remember very well how Ramon, interestingly, used to ask people to bring their cars to the front of that house so he could wash. They paid him about N100 per car then. Just imagine if he even bought that space and turned it to a modern car wash. At least boys on the street would get more jobs from that.”

Hushpuppi is a USELESS Yoruba boy! And like typical Yoruba men who can't run a business, they will make noise and noise once 5 million Naira is in their account. Recall that there was a Yoruba boy working at the IT unit of the Covenant University, Otta; he started stealing from the University's coffers via online manipulation, to the extent that he purchased a Chopper that used to bring him to work every day from his home at Lekki area in Lagos. These people and noisy lifestyle are inseparable. I'm not even sure that Hushpuppi is married with kids or made any reasonable investment or bought property other than his stupid flaunting of Gucci items and cars. Idiot!
Which investments ! When u re a fraudster u don't make investments cos u knw that one day u would still be caught and this assets forfeited just like all hushpuppi has been forfeited, when u re a criminal u don't go about acquiring assets unless u av a front man but even though it would still be traceable back to u via bank accounts details of course unless u use bitcon wallet or buy them off dark web where u can buy an armored tank for just $50,000... U live everyday like its ur last when u re on d run Mr. Man ! It's very difficult now buying assets using a front or company as this company's don't want t be associated with crime and are of high repute, if u want to front and be safe is the top companies like FB Twitter Apple that can do that, who would ever suspect Jeff bezos of fraud when he's d owner of Amazon, see that's how it works but others can be traced back t u

Please ehh, I'm not a member of the winners chapel but how is Oyedepo a scammer?? Why do we keep judging some pastors even without trial...?? I was once like you, but I later realized I was only judging them because they are so rich and influential and nothing personal, after all, it's not my money...
Judging them won't stop people from paying tithes neither will it stop people from attending Churches...

if you want to follow that principle it means that you will stay on a low key life and live a very simple life that nobody will notice or pay attention to but forget hush was wayyyyy too lousy and flamboyant


Of course that will attract oyinbos because a decent wealthy person will not be showing off and flossing like that.loom at the people who show off the most they're the accidentally rich people.look at those who built wealth overtime they're simple, unassuming and give.they never show off at all


They're the ones who will go to a meeting or social gathering with a simple office shirt and jeans and a cheap phone acting like they don't have much but the ones with accidental money or the pocket of a rich man and the brain of a poor man will be the ones living a lousy/notice me life.

Nobody saw a billionaire in Hushpuppi some 15 years ago when he roamed the dusty streets of Oworonshoki, Lagos, looking to wash cars for a paltry N100, and later returning to a food joint where he had beans and bread on credit.

In a philosophical reflection, using himself as a case study, he touched on how a child could feel rejected because of his poor background in his widely circulated 2017 “Letter to the Ghetto Kid”. It was about the same year Hushpuppi became a household name, as he had started using his social media page to flaunt his wealth.

With a sense of pride, Ramon Abass, whose dad drove a taxi and mum sold bread by the roadside in Oworonshoki, would say he represents “every underprivileged kid of the world and especially of Nigeria and of Lagos and of Bariga and of Oworonshoki — where a landlord had chased me and my family out of a rented room.”

Of course, now sounding like someone who has made it in life, he concluded by advising that “dejected kid” not to give up, just like he never did.
Entering stardom, Hushpuppi claimed to be into real estate but this had been trailed by skepticism, with many wondering how the 37-year-old had maintained a luxurious lifestyle for years — from acquiring the latest automobiles, including Rolls-Royce and Ferrari, to hiring private jets to take him holidaying across the best spots in the world.

It didn’t come much as a surprise in June when he was arrested in Dubai, where he was based, with 11 of his associates over email scams known in the Nigerian parlance as Yahoo-Yahoo.

In the special operation dubbed “Fox Hunt 2”, the Dubai police had tracked Hushpuppi for about four months, and upon his arrest, it was alleged that the crimes committed outside the UAE, included money laundering, cyber fraud, hacking, impersonation, banking fraud and identity theft worth Dh1.6 billion (an estimated N168 billion).

The police also revealed that 1,926,400 victims were targeted by the syndicate.

Subsequently extradited to the US for trial on money laundering, his lawyer, however, insisted that Hushpuppi “became rich through real estate.”

The real estate claim is what some residents of Ogunyomi street in Oworonshoki would dismiss.
