LiteratureRe: Does Harry Potter Encourage Witchcraft? by Reverend(m): 10:38am On May 28, 2006
Yeah! I agree, so do ALL Disney movies, ALL fairy tales, MOST children's stories. Additionally, MOST television stories promote sinful behavior - kissing your boyfriend or girlfriend
Kissing your girlfriend or boyfriend, Oh my God how evil can Walt Disney and Harry Potter be!

This is outrageous, to think that reading Harry Potter may make you want to kiss somebody.

We should burn all these books immediately tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue

@ Kimba

I am sure that you are sniffing something as according to your incredibly long and pathetic ramblings above there can be no other reason. So white men crossing the border are the reason for 419 in Nigeria?

I have heard enough, there is really no hope for people like you other than maybe that you are booked in for a full frontal labotomy. But by the way to spew nonsense out of your mouth I take it that you already had this done quite a while ago.

You are a very poor excuse for a Nigerian if ever there was one.

Carry on scamming Kimba!

I found your articles on hosting fraudulent bank sites etc. I can not find you as a member of aa419 though.

Anyway, you should know better. How many young people reading the rubbish written by the likes of Kimba and several other degenerates that will get them thinking that it is OK to steal and defraud people as they deserve it.

It is totally irresponsible and you should try and set an example!

The answer is YES, they are 100,000 times better than these scum.

I can not believe that you have anything to do with artists against 419, as they would never allow you to join with your attitude that the victims are also criminals.

What about the:-

Lottery scams
Orphanage donation scams
Tsunami help fund scams
Charity scams

Are all these victims that gave money to these vermin criminals?

If you are really a member of aa419, then give me your handle and I will see you on the site and then we can discuss this issue fully. I am sure that you are not man enough to do that as you have nothing to do with the site.

I am sure that you visit aa419 as you are yourself a scammer and you are checking whether you are listed there.
If you truly are in Malaysia, then that would explain your mentality. There are a load of Nigerians operating scams from that Country!
PoliticsRe: Why Are People Focusing On Nigerian Criminals? by Reverend(m): 7:39pm On May 26, 2006
In this one thread you have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no hope for honest Nigerians.

Kimba, Kazey and the rest of you who support the actions of the 419 criminals, It just goes to show how far some people have to travel before they become decent, rational people with moral ethics. All I can see here are pathetic musings from a a bunch of ill educated, illiterate morons.

You are the very cancer that Nigerians are suffering from. The quicker you are cut out the better it will be for the majority of honest Nigerians! lipsrsealed

I am now totally convinced that the persons within this thread that condone 419 are involved in these crimes.

It is a real tragedy for Nigeria!

Also, the people that come up with these scams are far from lazy, in fact they are very smart and apparently dedicated to their art so much so that it has spread world wide, don't they deserve some admiration for that?
So you want people to admire these criminal scum! You are a prime example of the trash that call themselves human beings. Your mentality is dispicable and degenerate in the extreme. I utterly detest people like you and I think that you must have a large part of your brain cells missing. You are part of the cancer that is destroying Nigeria. There is only one cure for cancer and that is to cut it out! half measures are not going to work!

I can see from your post that like Kimba you must also be heavily involved in these crimes.

@ Kimba

The lengths you have gone to condone the actions of these criminals has has cemented in my mind the belief that you are or have been involved in these scams in the past yourself or maybe members of your immediate family are actively involved.

There is no defense in any form for the actions of these scum. They are one of the main cancers in Nigerian society and are responsible for the demise of Nigeria.

Any honest, hard working Nigerian with even the smallest of morals would be sick by your suggestion that the victims are the guilty parties.

Whilst this type of mentality exists I see Little chance that Nigeria will move forward and improve conditions for it's people. It is an extremely sad situation and one that needs to be addressed.

You are trying to justify the criminal actions of the Nigerian scammers by saying that the victims deserve it and should be also treated as criminals. That is just crazy and unfortunately typical view of an uneducated person.

I suppose that you will be telling us next that if an armed robber raids a bank the customers of the bank are also to blame because they keep their money there.


You are an ideal example of the cause of this problem and why at present there seems to be no solution.

You are quite happy to explore every reason for their actions and blame everybody else except the criminals themselves.

These people are dirty filthy animals. Don't look for any other explanation then they are disgusting criminal scum that that should be exterminated.

They have brought shame on their homeland and continue to do so. They have helped Nigeria achieve the status of fraud capital of the World. They prevent honest Nigerians, businesses and businessmen from being able to trade with other nations. Everybody is painted with the same brush because of their activities.

Only a person with a pea sized brain and lack of moral fiber would try to defend them in any way!

@ Kimba

Fine, Nigeria started the 419 stuff, and we have our diploma on that. But nowadays, though a lot of Nigerians are still into it, let me tell you that the greater part on a percentage scale of those writing 419 letters are foreigners.
The sad fact is that you are mistaken. The first and most important step in addressing this problem is admitting that you have the problem in the first place.

Nigerians are responsible for 90% of 419. When you say foreigners then I could take it to mean the Nigerians operating out of Benin, Ghana, Cote I'voire, Amsterdam, London, Madrid and the US.

When the Nigerian government tried to crack down on 419, many Nigerians moved to carry on their criminal ways in bordering countries.

The Nigerian Scam is, according to published reports, the Third to Fifth largest industry in Nigeria. It is the 419 Coalition view that, in effect, the elites from which successive Governments of Nigeria have been drawn ARE the Scammers - therefore, victims have little recourse in this matter. Monies stolen by 419 operations are almost Never Recovered from Nigeria.

Most 419 letters and emails originate from or are traceable back to Nigeria. However, some originate from other nations, mostly also West African nations such as Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast ( Cote D'Ivoire ) etc. In most cases 419 emails from other nations are also Nigerian in that the "Home Office" of the 419ers involved is Nigerian regardless of the source of the contact materials.

Sorry, Nigerian males are not lazy. If they were lazy they wont even be in the cybercafe in the first place. Let me put it like this: Nigerian males/even African males on the general have a lot of potential, zest and knowledge. These are largely unused, and unfortunately are not given adequate opportunity to channel such talents positively, thats why some just have to go the other way.
Bishop Challenges Nigerians On Work Ethics
Stories By Peter Onwubuariri, Abuja

The Rt. Rev Duke Akamisoko, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Zonkwa is concerned over the nation's attitude to work and wants a reduction in the number of public holidays observed in the country.

Addressing the second session of the sixth session of the diocese of Abuja, held May 11-14, Bishop Akamisoko said the nation's level of productivity is suffering because a lot of Nigerians are lazy and idle at the expense of genuine hard work.

There is a culture in Nigeria that esteems those who can make money without working.

The culture of Southern Nigeria has always admired those who can make money without working.

The somewhat "jack the lad" culture of southern Nigeria combined with the stupidity of foreigners showed how easy it was to make money from the white mugus and intelligent scammers soon developed the 419 scams, initially via fax and then via the internet.

Children raised in this culture soon learn that scamming is acceptable – especially if you are successful.


I'm not encouraging the ideals of the 419ners, but here, if you(for example) could be so gullible to believe in a letter that someone wants to transfer some millions of pound sterlings into your bank account for "safe keeping", and for that you get all excited and worked up, as so much as giving money to someone you have never seen just to "process the transfer into your account", then I think you should have yourself. What were you thinking about in the first place, "ok if the money is transfered into my account, i can make a get away with it?" or did you want to really keep it for "safe keeping?" Safe keeping for what? is that how much you could be a good saSamaritansee we are human, so even those who ended up getting duped in the first place have ill motives.
This is the typical rhetoric that the scammers use to defend their actions and I find it amamusing that you Kimba also have the same attitude. Maybe even you are into 419huh?

Take the following scammers letter:-

From: Bleep Bleep Jennings <Bleep@bellsouth.net>
To: Amanda Fairheart-Smythe
Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2004 12:09:16 -0600 (Central Standard Time)

Dear Amanda Fairheart-Smythe,

I wish I had received this email over 3 years ago. This man has stolen all that I had saved and money that I borrowed. I heard from his Mother (?) telling me a sad story that she was dying from Aids and wanted me to take her children as my own when she died. She had set up an Inheritance account and put it in my name. How stupid could I have been? What I sent was to cover legal fees, legal documents, etc, The money was never sent here. I have heard in the last couple of days from the bank and have found out that Kwesi Bandermann and others are thieves. Why did it take over 3 years to find this out? I would never put your informants life in danger. My life is in danger now as well as my family. I have received threats this week. I am so afraid now and don't know what to do. How did you know that Kwesi Bandermann was expected to arrive here by plane? He did not arrive and I pray to God he doesn't. How did you get this email address? Only 2 people had it. It was Mr. Richard Meddings and Kwesi Bandermann. I can tell you the whole story if you need it.

Sincerely,
Bleep Bleep Jennings


All the victim wanted to do was adopt some children whose mother had died of AIDS. She was scammed over 3 years and lost vast amounts of money. Greedy? I don’t think so.

Also consider the vast number charity scams. Less than 2 days after the tsunami killed over 200,000 people in Asia on Boxing Day 2004, Nigerian scam letters were being circulated. People responded to these not because they were greedy but because they were generous and wanted to help those in trouble.

@ Kimba

I find your attitude to be typical and one of the main reasons that Nigeria is seen as the criminal capital of the World and can not shake off this cancer.

For the honest, hard working Nigerians I hope that one day soon Nigeria will find it's rightful place in the International community and that these criminals will be eradicated from the face of the planet.

Lastly, do you have any idea of the billions of investments pouring into Nigeria? You better sit where you are, when the investments are up to our neck, ill adivse one of my guys to redesign your kinky website free of charge.

I find it so amusing that with all the real problems we have in the World with war, famine, disease that people find that women wearing trousers to be an issue. There is nothing more to say on the subject.

It is this extremely idiotic mentality that is responsible for many of the problems we are facing. I hope that when all the people that are branding everybody as sinners for the most ridiculous of reasons stand before God to be judged , he will say:-

GOD: "Davidlyan, were you not the idiot that tried to tell people that I am against women wearing trousers?"

DAVIDYLAN: " But Father!, I thought that was your bidding as it is in the Bible?"

GOD: "Are you crazy, I love women in tight jeans. That is why I created them with curvaceous bottoms"

DAVIDLYAN: "But Father, why is it in the Bible?"

GOD: "How should I know, I never wrote that rubbish, that was written by man and I must tell you that I am pretty fed up with them constantly misquoting me and trying to frighten people by blackmailing them and telling them that they will burn in hell"

DAVIDLYAN: "Forgive me Father"

GOD: "OK, now go and change into that pink skirt that St Peter is holding then grab yourself a beer and we will watch the Davinci Code together. I have heard that it is not as good as the book"

DAVIDLYAN: "OK Father, whatever you say. You are the boss afterall!"
