Lately how Nigerian scammers stand up for their rights on social media, by giving excuses for scamming people. How many people shameless support their carrier makes me realize that the future of my country is BLANK. A lot of people no longer see it as a crime, it is just a normal way of life. Some greedy parents also give their parents tips to what their mates are doing to get rich and never die poor.

Yesterday, after my morning exam an old time friend of mine called me to remind me of his invitation. He has been bugging me since last two weeks to pay him a visit at home, So I can teach him about crypto. The way and manner he kept on reminding me to come to his house, was becoming alarming. As if he is now a gay or something...
Well, Since he wants us to talk about crypto and business, I am interested. I paid him a visit and was shocked as I walked into his room. It is like a mini palace. My fellow student now has a ps4, a television set and a mac book. I know the stress and hassle I passed through to get a little money to add to what my parents gave me to get myself a windows 10.
I just comported myself, moreover, I have most of those kinds of stuff at home (my family house) but not in my lodge. He offered me a chilled and sealed can drink, I know momma told me never to accept edible things from anybody but after trekking under the hot sun to his lodge, I couldn't reject the drink. Besides it was sealed, even if is gay like I suspected, there is no way he can slip a sleeping pill into a sealed can.
When I have chilled enough and was time to talk about the business I came for.
Me - If you really want to learn about crypto, you should first of all read about blockchain and how the whole idea came about, This shit is really had to explain. I told to earlier to read about it yourself on google, if you have any question then I will answer them. It would have been easier for us.
Friend - I did a little research, all I saw was long stories. We both know I don't have that kind of time to learn a whole new thing from the scratch. I just need you to help me with how to make transfers and the conversions. How to convert the money to Naira. As time goes on, I may need somebody else that is good at creating ICOs or a web developer.
Me - Fine, the conversion is the easiest part of it but you should first get some of them before converting. I am no good at ICO but I know somebody who can do it.
On a second thought, I have taught a lot of people crypto and none of them skip the basic part, why is he just only interested in how to make transfers, conversions and ICO... When I was new to crypto classes, I took me some days to learn about ICO. How did he get to find about it now?
What is this boy not telling me? I guess I have to force it out of him.
Me - So why are you only interested in how to convert cryptos when you don't know how to get them? or you already have some?
Friend - I want to move my business to crypto since I heard it is the easiest method of transferring funds.
I remember him once telling me that he import used phones and laptops, then resell them here on online delivery. since I already know the kinda business he does, no need asking
Me - What happened to the method of payment you have been using to purchase your shipments? Did PayPal crash?
He was silent for some minutes, pretended like he didn't hear the question. maybe he was thinking what I don't know as he scrolling through his laptop and I was surfing through mine.
Friend - You know the world is now going digital, everything is now digital, including money and I ha...
I cut in
Me - We both know that when I bite on, I never leggo. Don't try to change the subject. Answer my question.
Friend - I knew you were going to figure out something fishy. That's why I like you, you are too smart. Instead of wasting our time teaching me all these, why don't you join our team? You will be of great use to us.
Me - Which team? Us?
At this point, I already knew what he meant but I want him to spit it out himself. Just to perfectly clear. I also knew that he wasn't looking for a teacher but a partner
Friend - Stop forming holy boy, we both know what I am talking about. Yahoo-Yahoo (scam) is the only way out of this country's hardship. I don't even know why you are not making use of what you have. You know all these and you also have a lot of foreign social media friends. What else do you still need? How to set it up and make it convincing? That's why you should belong to the team. We are all working together at the same time, with many of us being on the same page when brainwashing our clients, its way easier and convincing.
Most foreign clients prefer to pay in clients prefer to pay in crypto, its easier. Sometimes when we have succeeded in brainwashing a client, the dummy will have a problem with how to send the money.
Me - Firstly, scamming is not the only way. That's a demonic lie. Seco...
He cut me
Him - But you know there is no 100% clean way of making money.
Me - I agree with you on that, but can't be like you 70% clean and 30% scammy? When the level of SCAM is higher than that of CLEANNESS, then you are just a thief.
Him - Yes, we are thieves but at least we hardly scam our fellow Nigerian. Those westerners stole from us a long time ago and I see no evil in recovering the lost funds their ancestors took from ours. Then again, most of them already have a lot of money and won't feel that pained when they lose a little bit of it.
Me - I won't argue with you about their ancestors stealing from ours. If only you knew how stupid you looked when saying it. Yes, you are correct, most of them have a lot of money. Have I ever told you about how I needed money and a friend of mine once gave me 100usd? I tied paying her back but she refused.
Do you know that I could have told her a lie to scam her and she will fall for it? The crazy part is that even if it's $1 that I scammed her. She will forever be angry at me or even hate me.
You know why?
A man may stack up money to the roof and it will be flowing it out but would prefer to give you some of it by himself than to get scammed. Some of these rich people are willing to give out some money but they are just looking for a reason to do so.
I am not advising you to start begging on social media but if you can craft out a scam scheme that looks so real, why can you start up a real project and get people to invest in it? You and I know that scamming has a long way to go, Its all about gaining the trust of your client and breaking it at the end. Sometimes the most painful part isn't the chubby change rob off them but the broken trust.
Few times, its both the trust and money that hurts. Do you know that most people invest their life-time savings on a scam project then end up committing suicide when they finally find out that they were duped? Has it ever crossed your mind? No, because its easier on your conscience when you don't care at all.
I bet you won't find it funny when you are on the receiving side. If it should mistakenly happen to your family member.
The worst part of it is how you guys and your supporters shamelessly go on social media to tell the masses that you are better than our politicians that take our money of the country, At least you guys bring the money back and invest it in the country?
Can you imagine? there is no way you can rationalize an excuse for scamming or even hanging on the fence without looking so stupid
You all have stained Nigerians name, I can't even use PayPal to purchase things in some sites. We have been blacklisted. Even getting a visa to a foreign country is war. If you eventually get it, you will get the highest embarrassment of your life when you will arrive at the airport and the security man looks at your passport. You will be searched like a suspected suicide bomber, just because you are Nigerian.
I also pity the ladies that reject the educated and hardworking men that are not living in luxury to go after the scammers or drug barons. It's not a new news that most of them are involved in rituals as a way of fortifying themselves or having more influence over their clients and it most times involves human sacrifice. As the day goes on, Flashy cars increase on the street while our young ladies decreases.
Those of you into legitimate business, don't relent. It may not be paying up huge but you are real human being with humanity. Besides that you are not rich at the moment, while your mates are a millionaire, doesn't mean you will die poor. Everybody has their due time to make it, as long as you keep working hard. The money will surely come by. It's just a matter of time.
As for others that are into dirty businesses, what you sow is what you will reap. You cant run away from it. Karma will surely locate you when you least expect it.
