Travel / Re: Mr Fred aka Alex Chukwu (the Man Behind Canadian Visa Scam) by upendo98(f): 7:54am On Sep 26, 2011
Claremont stop pushing me to the battle front

I will tell you that I learned about scams here. That is the truth.
Now that doesn't mean its limited to Nigeria but it opened my eyes to its scale and how it operates.
Thereafter I googled and came across this >> http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/ I got more shocked.
But why are you denying this yet its you guys who speak about them most of the time?
See am teling you I got info from this very forum so do not blame me and yes I could be wrong but blame those nlanders who say that Nigeria is full of scammers. I have no physical proof cz I have never fallen victim.Am only wary.

Foreigners feed on stuff here cz it comes from the horse's mouth.Trust me I believe NL more than media cz these are real people in the real world. You can have a one on one like we are having here.But media will tell you what they want you to hear.
You do not dispute their wrong facts.
Ok I was wrong in saying the scam paints your country negatively.Trust me I would have said the same for my country if it happened there.Probably worse even.

I am coming to Abuja soon for biz so what are you angry about?

Now tell me how are you as an individual helping to fight scammers of this nature in nigeria? those who are messing up people's lives like this?

If he were in my country probably ordinary people would have searched for him and burnt him alive. Its sickening what he did.

^^ you just want to have a country to country fight but I refuse to go there cz I speak Africa and I promote Africa.
I told you it takes one silly person to mess up other people's confidence.
People like focusing on the negatives,the media takes advantage of that and they say 'Africa' not nigeria.
Every country in Africa needs to deal with their criminals in the right way but not aid them! Root them out,expose and deal with them.
Stop them from spoiling your country's name! And which country doesn't have criminals in the world?  its the action taken that matters.

go drink cappucino and help arrest this fred fellow or could you be him by any chance grin

Learn to relax you researcher!
This is not a country to country fight.We have our own share of troubles and if uv been keen to watch the news you will know that our top politicians are at the moment facing criminal prosecution in hague as a result of the post election violence.
Burning criminals is barbaric and jungle and no sane person approves. I also watched another one on lagos streets and the guys just passed by as the young fellow who stole a necklace was burnt to death. We are a sick society is all I can say. People are quick to react becz they toil day and night. Besides they lost hope in the security system but once our mentality changes and we have right systems in place then there will be hope in the horizon.I watched that video in horror and got disturbed the whole day.
The west doesn't know the diff btwn kenya and mauritius or nigeria and DRC. The only Africa they know is SA.
What you needed to understand from my post was, that nigeria is known for scams. So what the citizens ought to do is to fight it,expose it and avoid it. But this particular scam by crystal has put Nigeria in the limelight for the wrong reasons.
Its like adding salt to injury.Not a good thing for any African country cz it scares investors.
I feel bad as an African bcz people say 'we africans are dumb' and can never be helped.So how do you convince your critic that your people are honest? One stupid fellow destroys so many pple's confidence.

This is a case of Africans destroying Africa not the west as people say. I would be a fool to criticise another African country when we are facing the same problems only in varying degrees.

So kindly replace your angry smily with a cool one unless you are a green alien

Hey kenyan man how are you.
Why are you linking the hague case with corruption? dont you realise those are political crimes being dealt with at the Hague and not corruption? you should have mentioned,the KACC ,lumumba and the likes.
The hague case is all about the post election violence that saw thousands displaced and die.Cause was political and ethnic hatred not corruption as we understand it.

Politics / First Ever Female Nobel Peace Laureate From Africa Dies by upendo98(f): 6:36am On Sep 26, 2011
sad

Professor Wangari Maathai,Nobel Peace Laureate and conservation heroine has died in Nairobi after a long battle with cancer.




She will be remembered for her fight against the moi's regime's attempts to build a 60-storey building at Uhuru Park at the center of Nbo city. She then took on powerful individuals in the moi goverment who had hived off parts of a major forest in the outer fringes of the city.
She also joined mothers of political prisoners on a hunger strike in a quest to force Moi to free them.
She joined politics,was elected as member of parliament and served as Assistant Minister in Kibaki's first Goverment.
Known for her Love for trees Wangari was in 2004 awarded the nobel peace prize for her conservation efforts.
She was a mother,worker,co-worker,role model and heroine who deserved to make teh world a peaceful ,healthy and better place for us all.

RIP dear Wangari.You will be missed by all.From school children,the international community, to the old in the village.

No its shud read Scam travels.
no doubt as to the no of clients you will receive,50% being lawyers.
lol r u telling me that people walk the streets with millions in cash?  ok what about receipt as proof of pay even if its cash transaction?
I think people have lots of cash they do not know what to do with it. but why nigeria with its oil and gas? why shud pple be that desperate?or have they only employed foreigners to work in these oil and gas co at the expense of locals?

very sad.
so if the 10% educated refused to listen to Justwise, cz I went through the entire thread and saw how he tried to warn these guys but some ended up calling him names  what do we say about the 90%?
Its as though nigerians can sell their country given a choice cz they seem to hate it soo much.
This scam speaks a lot about the country.From security agencies to the justice system. If all was well coupled with wisdom from people this would have been prevented.
But everybody is letting everything pass by.No responsibility no questions raised.Its like a jungle. sad

coogar:

lagos has about 15 million population.
13 million of those are mugus. if you take dog's shyte and spray cologne on it and say it's chocolate - people would buy from you in wholesale!

the only reason lagos harbours plenty of conmen is because there are so many people to con!
nigerians are the most gullible set of human beings on the planet - people would pay you 5 million naira to get them abroad without knowing the details involved!

instead of going on the internet to find out the details, they would rather go to the top of the mountain to fast and pray for 40 days and 40 nights so their application can be successful. it baffles me and these lots are not stark illiterates. many of them are graduates but they cannot tell their left from their right when it comes to travelling abroad!

evil man.
But tell me this.Nigeria is well connected as far as internet is concerned unless am wrong. What would it have cost to call embassy/google or write them mail esp when such huge amounts are involved? Havent we heard of the phrase 'when the deal is too good think twice? undecided
Nigerians are some of the most educated people in Africa
Nigerians are much aware of these scams than anybody else.So how d u fall for this with all this knowledge?
What on God's good earth happened? undecided. No country has more prophets than nigeria.who failed.
You know its as though an evil witch on a magic broom flew over there and cast a spell to block peoples minds! cz I just cant seem to get a better explanation to this madness.
Its a good lesson however for the future generations.

tpia@:

so where are the passports now?

just info i hve bn reading from the net

His office was opened and several boxes filled with pp found.None had visas shocked shocked.some victims still insist that their pp could have visas shocked
The head of lagos zonal team told pple to go home and that they would be contacted once investigation were complete.

I was about to ask,was the Canadian embassy not aware of these but suprise suprise! They knew  and warned victims  shocked
The canadian high com as far back as May received letters from victims trying to find out if it was real and they were told it was a scam!

In one of the replies they wrote' theres no such prog.and this is a scam.Canada has no fast-track progs 4 immigration/work permits.
The website www.cic.gic.ca provids clear guidelines and instructions.
The liason officer said no high commission appoints agents outside it to run its activities.Work permits are not given outside the country but one must have acquired a visa that befits that permit. Now why dd the victims not raise alarm? instead they proceeded to pay.  shocked

somebody slap me please cz i am still shaking my head!

>Your police issued fingerprints permits to 7000 people without raising eyebrows while the Federal High court issued the same no of affidavits without confirming what they are about?? shocked shocked shocked

>To add insult a staff of GT bank addressed pple on how to use the travellers cheque once they arrive in manitoba? shocked shocked shocked

>Then come 11 sep victims dressed in uniform gathered at the national theater for exhibition then take off the next day? shocked without pp and visas?? shocked shocked shocked shocked
As if that is not enough the said exhibition fails and they are given another date and asked to deposit 2000 more and they still did it? shocked shocked without seeing their pp and visas?? shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

>> And some applicants from neighbouring countries flew in to nigeria to apply as well? shocked shocked

This is like one very very very bad dream or movie
Is Africa this bad? are we this gullible? Do you know this has painted nigeria in a bad way cz apart from the scam it shows they can be easily duped.

Never heard of such a bad thing.This is a NATIONAL TRAGEDY and gov. there need to declare a week of mourning.
The rich and poor alike also cry.

Maria puuliz!!
Those fears you have are the ones causing you some pains.For christs sake you will suffer ulcers,depression and stress and guess what? you will blame some powers that you are not even aware of. Rise above petty stuff like witchcraft.
Fear is bondage and it brings sickness so relax! Good lord so what if he dances around ur undies 7 tymes at 3 am?
Have faith in God is all and he will protect you.

Stop scaring her. Do not be worried about what he does with your undies dear.If you do not believe in witchcraft forget it.

^^ dont you think that's a bit shallow? breaking up because one is tired of sex? That is not a broken heart.
Some people take time to really love and if you are not a player then you must know emotions are involved and messing up emotions is not a butter thing.
Those who jump from building tops do not know how to deal with it. Thats how bad matters of the heart can get.
Players hearts dont get broken coz they do not commit.

The best cure as somebody said is to divert your energy and attention into something you love and of course not leaving behind the Master healer.
You will find yourself excelling in areas you knew knew you could.You discover some hidden potential and strengths in you and they place you on a higher pedestal.
So cry a river,build bridge(not wall) and get over.Then start building.

So long as you don't do anything silly like revenge or self destruction,you are set on a good course.

Nayah sis allow me to sing your praise please then you can box me l8ter.

Shuttling I will tell u truth from my heart.
I love Nayah for one thing.Shes a polite,calm and reserved lady who does not jump easily to conclusions the way most of us do.
She doesn't hurl insults or blow up at the slightest provocation. She passes her point across with a certain calmness that relaxes you.
But I think I know where she got that from.Her TZ heritage. So she's not faking or trying to impress as anybody may be tempted to assume.
The Tz are the most polite,kind and courteous people you will ever meet in Africa.lol we always joke in my country that a tz cop begs to arrest the thief and he will thank the thief 4 not resisting arrest. Now add her cameroonian beauty to that and you have a package. grin
Oh and she dances soukouss too.
Shes a good friend is all I can say of her.

Omg Othaya.Road to home!

The aberdare golfcourse at Naivasha? lol now the road to naivasha will be full of nairobians driving down their not to fish.I love naivasha.

I swear I love the way Kibaki has transformed this country. The kind of infrastructure developments taking place amaze me.And hes done all these in his 2 terms only.Would you believe it? Look at the airport.Have you been there and seen what those chinese are doing? The bypasses,the bridges etc.
And the speed is shocking.They work 24hrs,sleep at the site and you can't differentiate them from the locals!.By the way I heard that a new international airport is being constructed around Thika.Plus a regional one like wilson airport is being constructed around Rwai area.
I am sure about the wilson one but yet to confirm the international one.That would be something!
I love photography and these photos I love.
