There's no two ways about it. Our economic system is still backward. I mean 20 years behind. We are not in any way better than the pre-internet age.
There are limited money making opportunities available online due to lack of epayment solutions for business. Most websites like paypal and ebay have banned Nigerians from transacting business due to scams and internet fraud.
Not to mention unstable power supply and limited internet access. The problems internet enthusiasts like me face on a daily basis are just tøo many. Then i begin to wonder if every thriving business in Nigeria has to be brick and mortar.
I personally don't see any sign of Nigeria catching up with the rest of the world, not at the pace we're developing and it's a shame that i have to admit this, even Ghana is doing much better with far less resources.

Why do we Nigerians always like to compare ourselves with other countries? Why cant you make your point without having to compare Nigeria with any other country? In what way is Ghana doing better than Nigeria? Are you one of the Nigerians that lied to me many years ago that Ghana has stable power supply that have lasted 10 years non stop?? but the same day i got to Ghana there was blackout in the entire city of Accra for two whole days Why do you guys say what you dont know? For your info I have been in and out of Ghana for over 5 years now, my wife is from there and my first son was born there, I have business there too. Ghana is light years behind Nigeria in everything and Ghanians themselves know this to be true.

Internet and telecoms wont be possible in Ghana without Nigeria's SAT3 Cable, all international calls in Ghana are routed through Lagos. We complain our schools are poor in Nigeria but thousands of schools are conducted under trees in Ghana, search it in google. Ghana has thousands of refugees in Togo bc of crisis in Northern region of Ghana. Nigerian politicians are corrupt and they killed Nigerian airways, just the same way Ghana politicians are corrupt and killed Ghana airways and recently sold Ghana telecom to vodafone UK with alot of bribery and corruption. Nigerian citizens are corrupt like Ghanains, we Nigerians do 419 scams and Ghanain boys are over taking NIgerians in 419 scam.

Ghana does not have limited resources, it was the former gold coasts and the second largest exporter of cocoa beans in the world. All natural resources in Nigeria are found in Ghana and they have the advantage of low population. This is not Ghana bashing thread just so you guys stop comparing Nigeria with Ghana especially. Go to Ghana first before you make such comments.

How is that your business and problem I thought you were going to say something reasonable. Just because I gave my suit to a police man or servant automatically makes me a bad person? How does that become pride & i-too-know attitude

Abrantie:
Nigeria dey show BALLS of steel ,  woot woot!

In Ghana, not only would we have shut up, but also allow them to open a white-only restaurant at our single international airport, then sing praises of "obroni akwaaba" (white person welcome). Kudos to Naija!

Yes u are right to some extent, but the Ghana govt don wake up small. See as Atta Mills dey halla David Cameron, i liked the way he told Cameron that Ghana wont legalize same sex marriage and nobody can force them to do so even as Britian wanted to stop their shitty aid to Ghana, And as for the white only restaurant my friends in Ghana confirmed the story but as the government became aware they sealed the place the next day? So u can see ur govt is trying too. Its high time we Africans wake up and not allow these white people take advantage of us all the time,

How about they pay compensation to my girl friend. There bloody navy cocked a hostage situation up and blew her late husbands head off. Widow now for 5 years and never recieved a penny .

An utterly corrupt country at every level. They rip-off people with internet fraud and Nigerians commit serious crime in the UK. I would be delighted if all UK airlines were to avoid Nigeria forever. Perhaps the Nigerian government can pay compensation to us for the huge sums that have been stolen from UK bank accounts as a result of their unwillingness to root out the perpetrators.


Just stop flying there. Solves a number of problems.


Stop going there then.


What the hell is going on, Nigeria usually extort money secretly.

I THOUGHT MY GHANA BROTHERS SAY ONLY NIGERIANS ARE 419 SCAMMERS, SEEMS LATELY GHANA HAS FINALLY OVERTAKEN NIGERIA IN THE SCAM WORLD. READ THE STORY FROM GHANAS BIGGEST SITE: http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=223573&comment=0#com


“The fraud business is like the Al-Qaeda network. Al-Qaeda has a motive and mission of revenge. In our case, it is revenge on what the colonial masters did to our grandparents in the olden days.

"That is the money that we are collecting back from them (through the scams). When they came to Africa, they carried our grandparents and gave just one bottle of wine and left. Now we are taking the money back. We are taking the money back. All the work that our grandparents did in America, in London, in Europe, we are coming back to collect the money. That is the motive and the mission. ”

That was the summary of mission and purpose, given by a gold scammer who spoke to our ace investigative reporter, Anas Aremeyaw Anas in an hour-long interview during our recent investigations (with Al Jazeera) into the issue of gold scamming in Ghana.

The gold scammer, who granted the interview on condition of anonymity, revealed the inner workings of the criminal underworld. He also gave insights into the scammer’s mind, motivations and challenges.

“It’s a big work. Involves money, involves ideas. Most of the people who scam have good degrees. We have marketers, we have banking and finance. We have lawyers, we have engineers; but because of what? It’s because there isn't any employment for them”, he revealed.

HOW THE SCAMMING NETWORK OPERATES

It may appear to be the work of a few individuals engaged in a life of defrauding others; but this is far from the reality that persists. The New Crusading GUIDE’s interview with the gold scammer, brings evidence that the gold scamming comprises of several network across the world. Like most organized crimes, this network is composed of some professionals and institutions which knowingly (sometimes unknowingly) contribute to and benefit from the successes of their operations. In Ghana, the network is composed of lawyers, police officers, customs officials, banking institutions, government offices and officials, politicians and traditional rulers. As revealed by our investigations, the hour-long interview with this scammer further lifts the lead off the operation of these scammers. Here are excerpts:

Anas: So what kind of network are we talking about? And how big is this network?

Gold Scammer: What I can say is that this scamming or fraudster network is like Al-Qaeda. In Ghana, outside Africa, Europe, Asia and Arab states, we are working together as one.

Anas: How many people are we talking about?

Gold Scammer: Many people, massive numbers of people. This business is not only for one group, there is division of labour.

Anas: Who are the victims, where do they come from?

Gold Scammer: A victim can be anybody. , it can be you! Can by father; a minister, can be an outside person – anybody who wants to buy and sell gold. The most important thing is that victims fall because of their greediness. That is why they fall. Everybody knows the price of gold in the market, but when they come to Ghana, they want to buy gold at the lower price.

Anas: So which people do you normally get as victims?

Gold Scammer: We get a lot people to defraud from Europe, Asia, and any part of the world and they want to come and buy and sell the gold. We got America in the business too much. Americans are most of the people victim in this area; more than any other country. Asia and Arab states follow.

Anas: So how many millions of dollars have you seen people be defrauded?

Gold Scammer: Many people, it depends on the quantity of the gold you need. , because if you want a tonnes of gold, people will sell it to you, if you want 100kg, 50kg, 2 tonnes, we will get it for you. Any amount of gold that you want. People lose money! 10 million, 5 million, 5m U. S Dollar, 5m pounds, 5m Euros, people lost.

Anas: Is it one person?

Gold Scammer: One person can lose it. One person can lose 1, 2,3 million dollars. It depends on what quantity of gold you are looking for.

A GOLD SCAMMER’S ROADMAP OF FRAUD

Anas: Can you tell me how it is done; from the beginning to the end?

Gold Scammer: From beginning to end, it is just as simple as selling and buying in any business. In the beginning, you contact someone through a proposal, or a letter. Or send a letter by post to the victim’s address. If they reply, everything starts. Send them the documents, stick it in the email. After we satisfy what I have said about the gold, I have satisfied the price and all the information I have given to you. They arrive in Ghana for dispensing.

First we tell them not to pay all the money, just come to pay only the shipment fees; but when you arrive, the story will change. After the story changes, I will take you to the mining site.

When we go to the mining site I explain that we need to buy gifts for the chiefs, and the community. You can buy rice, oil, so many things for presentation to the chief. , and wine, gin; you buy it and present it to them.

Chief welcomes you, do everything for you. From there you are out of the place. They start the business, they show you gold. After you accept, you pick your sample and go back to Accra.

From the village down to Accra, you test. Though you were already informed to come and will only pay shipment fees, but after, the chief and the villagers say they need some money before the gold can be moved. You are made to pay 10%, 20%, 40% of the full price. You feel like paying, because you have already seen the truth.

After that, you need to pay. If you don't have the money, you will call because you have already seen the goods. Cough up the money, after you pay the processes start for the shipment.

We meet later meet at office. That's the office we are using. After that, we will present everything for you to pick the sample from the gold. Take it to the Geological, PMMC, Asavasa or any refinery in Ghana that you want.

Anywhere you take it, there are insiders over there. Any result will come out in our favour so you can believe that what we are doing is good.

After you are satisfied with the test, or the result of the gold sample, we ask you to pay the money, the shipment fees. We take you to the shipping agency. We decide how the money will be entered by card or by cash, and don't forget that the shipping agent is also part of the network.

From there, we move to the airport. When at the airport, a messenger from the community will arrive saying that that the chiefs say no; the community wants part of the money to be paid before the gold can be shipped. They would say “you cannot just come to Africa and come and carry their gold, without paying anything”, even though you paid at least 20% or 30% before leaving them. So everything goes back to the office or is kept with the Custom officials at the airport, or you can ask for safe keeping at a bank.

If it ever gets shipped, remember what is shipped to you is not pure gold. If 5 kilos is shipped, maybe 2 kilos or 1.5 kilo is genuine. When it reaches there, maybe your friend or your partner gets the gold and goes to do the tests. They confirm that only one kilo or so is genuine.

We then say it’s not our fault, it’s the airlines fault. The airline, many airline, we pay money. Many servers company we pay them in this matter. That’s how everything we do from beginning to end. It appears to be legal. All the procedure seems legal from the way the government gives its procedures down to how to buy, how to ship, how to move the good out of Ghana. Every procedure is carefully planned.

But the end is the last show. If you are not there I cannot just explain it until you are on ground and you will see, what is going on. Everybody in this world needs money. We cannot just call it corruption, it’s just a gift. People receive a gift to add to their own salary. We influence them with what we have, to get what we want from them.

In Bank, in Customs, in PMMC, in any refinery, even customs officer. To get what we want, we have to satisfy our own links, that’s the way it is.

Anas: So from the bank what else happens? How do we get to that end?

Gold Scammer: The person will finally be defrauded when, that is where we will call a scam. From the beginning to the bank, it is genuine. If the client doesn't pay, he has not been defrauded.

Let me just give you some little idea of how they change from real to fake. They have two types of gold that everyone knows in the world. You have gold bar, and dust. Its easy to defraud clients on bar than dust.

Bar made with iron, covered with gold water. And even they have acid proof, to secure the quality of the gold; because when they come down with the acid to test the bar. When you put the acid, the bar starts to shine, shinier like original.

For the dust the only way to change let’s say a hundred kilos, maybe only one or two kilos are genuine inside, and they will put your real bit on top. All the 99 below are fake.

After you have already accepted the result of the test of the gold we give you a padlock to lock the box by yourself and hold the key. We have another box with the same colour and same padlock key, and we change it with yours.

Usually, that one is not real gold inside, just ordinary sawdust, or paper, or brass for you to go and ship at the airport. People are there who will ship it for us.

Anas: When you get to the airport, won't the customs ask you, what is inside?

Gold Scammer: We use money to influence anybody, to get what we want. There are insiders everywhere.

Anas: Don't you leave traces that will lead to your arrest?

Gold Scammer: We rent the offices to use for just one week when the client is around, so they cannot trace it. And even the car we are using is not our own personal car. , it’s usually a rental car. And most of the cars are not registered cars. We use temporary DV number plates for running about. After he will dismantle everything after the scam.

Anas: We sometimes hear that you are able to use lawyers?

Gold Scammer: It depends on clients. If the client wants the lawyer to secure his service here in Ghana, we acquire a lawyer for him. Sometimes, we acquire a real lawyer to keep him, to just know that this is what is going on. Sometime people pretend, by being an imposter using somebody’s name.

Anas: Is it an easy thing? Don't you get caught by the police?

Gold Scammer: Caught by police? That’s why I told you earlier that we use what we have to be able to move. In police language, the police have (fell to hostisay? ?). Police are here to keep the law; we are here to dismantle the law. And the two of us, in the face of everybody are cat and rats but at the back, we are one. Not all. , most. We are using it to get what we want.

In this scammer game, there are three things that follow it – money. You get your money, if you don't get money, you can be caught by police or put inside jail, or some people die. They can be caught by some area boys, beaten to death. It's not easy to get caught because any amount of money that you collect from the clients, we have a certain percentage to give to any group. That if any case rises up, we can bring the case down.

We have the lawyer that we are paying a monthly salary to. If anything happens, the lawyer will come and defend us, we are paying his salary every month. We have police people that are given information. That is what is there.

We can buy anyone. Anybody: official, police, immigration, custom to get what we want. We even use immigration to get cable visa. We get visa without coming down from the Ghana embassy.

Most people coming here are not coming for gold. I will let you know that about 80% of taxi drivers at the airport are working for us. When they pick a foreigner from the airport to the hotel, they start asking questions about what they want in Ghana. If you want to buy gold I can introduce you etc. If the person doesn't want, the driver gives us the hotel number. If they buy a SIM card for the phone, he is the one who communicates with the person and gives the number to you. He'll say let me have your number, call me, I will take you out. The taxi driver will come and give us the information. We then plan to defraud the person.

Anas: Don't you feel guilty that you are ruining people’s lives?

Gold Scammer: It’s a big question. You know, I don't how to put it. When you want to plant a seed, the seed needs to spoil before it can germinate a big new thing out. When I need something, I need to quell before somebody, for me to go up. You need to use some people as a step for you to reach where you are going. It’s already there in the bible. , that you collect from somebody that has, to get for what I need. You read you r bible yea, it’s there. No matter what you want to do in this life, you have to climb somebody as your step case to get to the top.

BRIBE OFFERINGS TO SILENCE THE STORY

Meanwhile, some of the scammers and their partners have contacted The New Crusading GUIDE offering sums of money to stop the publication of the story. In separate calls to our investigative reporter, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and the Editor-in-Chief, Kweku Baako Jnr, frantic efforts are being made by the scamming network to influence the newspaper’s editorial independence.

Recordings made by The New Crusading GUIDE regarding these developments show the scammers calling to offer the investigative reporter $20,000 as a preliminary bribe to stop the story’s publication. The scammers, who wanted a meeting in the night at a secret location somewhere in Osu with the reporter, promised to pay some more money if the reporter is interested.

The reporter and the newspaper have however stated in no uncertain terms to remain true to the journalistic duty of being a voice to the voiceless and shinning light on the dark places in society.

Wow am happy for Dangote eventhough I dont like his monopoly,
But wait, I want to be richer than this man, what must i do to be very very rich? I want my net worth to be more than US$45 billion before 10 years time and after 10 years i will use all the money to build a city where everyone will live equally and free on everything including water, light, education, medicals etc,

Is this possible? What if i get all dem pastors to be praying for me 7 times daily

No matter what you want to do in this life, you have to climb somebody as your step case to get to the top.

BRIBE OFFERINGS TO SILENCE THE STORY

Meanwhile, some of the scammers and their partners have contacted The New Crusading GUIDE offering sums of money to stop the publication of the story. In separate calls to our investigative reporter, Anas Aremeyaw Anas and the Editor-in-Chief, Kweku Baako Jnr, frantic efforts are being made by the scamming network to influence the newspaper’s editorial independence.

Recordings made by The New Crusading GUIDE regarding these developments show the scammers calling to offer the investigative reporter $20,000 as a preliminary bribe to stop the story’s publication. The scammers, who wanted a meeting in the night at a secret location somewhere in Osu with the reporter, promised to pay some more money if the reporter is interested.

The reporter and the newspaper have however stated in no uncertain terms to remain true to the journalistic duty of being a voice to the voiceless and shinning light on the dark places in society.

Nigerians will have to win a competition of myopism in the world if organized. I've never seen a people who ignore so many years of moral decadence and misrule to put it at the door step of one person. Even though i did not vote for GEJ in the past election(i voted for Buhari btw), i don't think the problems plaguing the country today is totally due to his inefficiency. It baffles me when people talk as if Nigeria was a land of milk and honey before the arrival of Jonathan. It even pains me more when people refer to PDP,a party formed i 1999 as the party behind the backward spiral of Nigeria. These people tend to believe that should another party take over the seat frrom PDP, things will change automatically. As if it's not the same political LovePeddlers that are in those other parties.

I think Nigeria is on a gradual ride to hell and it has been like that for a long time. GEJ is unfortunate to be ruling Nigeria at a time when things have gotten worse and when the country is closer to oblivion.

Let's look at the source of the problem rather than blame someone who has been there for less than 3 years.

I THINK I AGREE WITH YOU, BESIDES, THERE ARE LOTS OF LOOSERS WHO ARE WORKING VERY VERY HARD TO DISCREDIT R UNDO GEJ, ESPECIALLY DEM SYCOPHANTS FROM THE NORTH, WHY WERE THESE LOOSERS NOT THROWING BOMBS B4 NOW

WHATS NEW? NIGERIAN SCAM? NAME ONE COUNTRY ON EARTH THAT DOESNT HAVE SCAMMERS? WHAT ABOUT RUSSIAN DATING SCAMMERS THAT SEND ME FAKE FOTOS EVERYDAY, WHAT ABOUT JAMAICAN LOTTERY SCAMMERS THAT KEEPS BOMBING MY MAILBOX DAILY, WHAT ABOUT AMERICAN PONZI SCAMMERS THAT STEAL BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INFACT THE WESTERN WORLD HAS STOLEN ALOT OF MONEY FROM AFRICA, SO IF YOU ARE AN AFRICAN AND SMART ENOUGH TO REPATRIATE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY THEN GO AHEAD, IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY HERE, ALL THEM AFRICANS WORSHIP BIG MEN, ITS ALL ABOUT BEING EXTREMELY RICH PEOPLE GO WORSHIP YOU, ITS BETTER THAN DYING IN ABJECT POVERTY KNOWING FULLY WELL YOUR POLITICIANS DONT GIVE A PHUCK,  

MIND YOU, I USED TO BLAME YAHOO YAHOO BOYS BUT AFTER VISITING 7 WESTERN COUNTRIES I HAVE REALIZED WE HAVENT GOT ANY CHOICE, INFACT IF YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO BRING ALL THE WEALTH IN BRITIAN BACK TO AFRICA ABEG CARRY GO

abagoro:
Which Southeasten State is more secure than Imo? Imo is the best place to site a hotel in Nigeria. Pay a visit and see for yourself.

Well said. So many guys are ignorant, they stay in their house and talk about states they have never visited before. Today is Sunday I am just returning from Owerri, you cant get hotel in Owerri from Friday to Sunday as all hotels are usually fully booked. Most Igbos in PHC, Abia etc flock to Owerri every weekend to jolly life. Hotel business is paying like cocaine in Owerri.

Meet a nigerian abroad especially YORE OLE BA! and you are in deep poo.  Avoid them especially in the UK where their stock in trade is lies and cheating!

 

LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, THE YOROBAHS ARE THE GREATEST CREDIT CARD SCAMMERS ON EARTH TOGETHER WITH GHANAIANS. THE YOROBAHS RAN THE HIGHEST EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT SCAMS IN USA AND UK. ASK ANYONE IN UK HOW D'BANJ MADE HIS MONEY.

THE YOROBAHS ARE THE BIGGEST DRUG BARONS IN NIGERIA. THE YOROBAHS WERE THE FIRST NIGERIANS TO MIGRATE TO THE UK AND USA WHERE THEY STARTED RUNNING DRUGS BC OTHER NIGERIAN TRIBES JOINED RECENTLY.

SAD THING IS, THESE YOROBAH PEOPLE NO GET BRAIN, THEY USE THEIR ILL GOTTEN WEALTH TO BLEACH THEIR SKINS AND THROW SERIES OF OWAMBE PARTIE, THE REST WASTE THEIRS ON JUJU AND BLACK MAGIC,

OHH THESE PEOPLE ALWAYS CLAIM TO BE THE MOST INTELLIGENT BLACK TRIBE? HOW COME THEY DRAW DIRTYY, BACKWARD AND IRRITATING LION MARKS ON THE FACES OF THEIR CHILDREN? AN EDUCATED PERSON WILL NOT DO THAT TO THEIR CHILDREN

To those talking rubbish pls close your mouth and stop hating. Dont advise Duncan how to use his money bc he is not stupid. I know him in PHC and he suffered like TIMAYA. Now that God is blessing him let him enjoy his money, if he likes let him insert all his money inside puccy it is nobody's business. If he goes broke tomorrow he wont come to any of you for assistance. This guy has investments, he has management team, he is not stupid. B4 he bought this car he already has investments and is still investing. This is not the only expensive car in his collection. Just like Timaya that has alot of cars as well but he too has some investments.  These guys are not as stupid as you think. They know they cant be singing forever.
And to those claiming Amaechi bought this car why cant you go to your own state governor to buy car for you? Why do you guys stay in your village and see what is happening in another mans house
Another guy said he doesnt believe Duncan Mighty can buy this expensive car. Well maybe he thinks we are still in the 17th century. Truth is Nigerian musicians are tops all over Africa they are making hell of money these days unlike before when our musicians could not afford expensive cars. Dbanj and many Nigerian stars today can afford million dollar cars. If you know how much money our comedians make yearly u go shit for your pant. Too much money dey for entertainment industry,

What is the meaning of this? How many Nigerian men have you meet in person to arrive at this?
No offense, but the FATTEST tribe in Nigeria are the Yorobahs, just look around you and confirm,
Besides, if you think Nigerian men or women are fat then you need to travel to Ghana in west Africa and see that most Ghanians have bloated belly you would think they are 9 months pregnant, Then when you visit UK, USA or most European countries then you will understand the true meaning of OBESITY.

I NO FIT SHOUT,
WHAT A SICK TRIBE. I BET THEY EAT HUMAN BEINGS, THEIR GIRLS WILL BE MORE DIRTY THAN YOROBAH GIRLS.

REALITY101:
We still double pay it and we ain't complaining cuz we got the paper. So if you got problem with that, homie its very easy, stick to the cheap bittches from whichever tribe you're from.

WORD

Andre Uweh:
Pericoma Okoye.

Pericoma na pikin. He is only known in some parts of Imo State.
Jokes aside, no tribe in Africa get juju pas yorobah people.

Can spend as much as 20k and above on a pair of Jeans depending on my budget and mood.
Go to the Palms in Lekki, some of the shops are selling designer jeans 50k and above.
To be honest any jeans trouser below 5k is usually made in Onitsha or China made. The cheapest quality jeans in PHC starts from 10k upwards depending on the boutique.

afam4eva:
It's sad how they succeeded in sidelining this man despite the fact that he was one of the founders of this political dispensation. He should have been the president in 1999, but fate played a fast one on him. I think he's old now, he should just continue with his elder statemanship. We need young Igbo people like Soludi, Ngozi Okijo Iweala, Ezekwesile, Chime etc. If this is not the kind of people that will be picked to represent Ndigbo in Aso rock, then Igbos should stare clear of the presidency.

Well said. Ekwueme is a great man but he is too old to rule Nigeria now. I believe the Igbos have great candidates in the names you listed especially Soludo, Okonjo Iweala, Chime and Rochas. Lets wait and see who they will finally pick

Hmm I hope this borrow borrow mentality will not ruin the economy of some states, How does Amaechi intend to repay all these loans within 4 years? His first tenure in office was amazing but i think he is a bit slow at the moment,
Also, what is the need for another government owned hotel in PHC when they already have the Airport Hotel and Hotel Presidential? Why cant this man invest in tourism in Rivers State?
Dont get me wrong I like this governor he is doing wonders here I am a witness unlike those that stay in their different states and say what they dont know. But I dont support borrowing of too much loan it can backfire if not properly used,

biodunid:
So what will you say about Pleasure b/s to Ile Zik b/s along Abeokuta Expressway (18km round trip) or Dzorwulu to Trade Fair Complex in Accra (21km round trip)? The latter I did with my wife. Walking is my passion as I said. Oyinbos do what they call trekking / rambling for many times those distances. Do not be so quick to insinuate falsehood just because you are happier to jump onto a kamikaze okada instead of exercising your God given legs.  Happy to meet up with you in Lagos and walk from Idumota to Mushin from 5pm if you are still in doubt.

This man is something else? From Dzorwulu to Trade Fair Complex in Accra What else Which means you fit trek from Nigeria to Zambia? Is this your passion or you are just too stingy to use the taxis? I love trekking anyway but its usually less than 10 minutes, 3 times per week and sometimes i go up to 1 month without trekking when am too busy and traveling a lot.

Abeg slow down from over trekking b4 dem buses knock you down. Your wife must be very strong to do all these trekking with you. Are you both extremely fat people that are trying to BURN SOME FAT? Know I understand,

Yes I don tell ma hommies but am not cummin with ma wife, is it allowed?
Also, I need 4 hot chicks to play with on that day, how much are you gonna charge? Give me ur acc numba sharp sharp

They suffer from a condition known as Progeria which in essence means premature aging. There are a handful of people worldwide who suffer from this genetic mutation.
Read up more on it here and you can also google the word Progeria and you'll find pictures of other people with this problem and they look just like these twins.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no comment

Mikel Obi all the way

BRODA THANKS FOR THE ANALYSIS, BUT HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO TREK OR WALK FROM HOTEL PRESIDENTIAL TO OIL MILL JUNCTION WHICH IS MORE THAN 45 MINUTES AWAY? YOU BE SOLDIER?

PHUCK BRITAIN, FORK BA.
THESE PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE CHASED OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. THEY CAME HERE WITHOUT ANY VISAS, THEY LOOTED OUR ECONOMY, RAPPPPED OUR MOTHERS AND TOOK OUR PEOPLE AS SLAVES. THEY DIDN'T STOP THERE. AFTER USING OUR BROTHERS/SISTERS AS SLAVES IN FOREIGN LANDS THEY DUMPED THEM AND STARTED CALLING THEM BLACK MONKEYS.

TILL DATE BRITAIN STILL COLONIZE OUR COUNTRY WITH THE AID OF OUR OWN GREEDY LEADERS. SHELL, BA AND ALL THEM STINKING BRITISH ESTABLISHMENTS IN NIGERIA SHOULD BE LOOTED AND SHARED TO THE POOR.
