Where are the jobs for this lads to engage in. Who is actually not a fraudster in Nigeria? From the president to governors to religious leaders to security personel ... The list is endless. If not for this yahoo biz, I wonder how many armed bandits would have been out there on the streets. Where are the jobs? Leave this creative lads alone to fend for themselves. Government and parents are failing in their responsibility towards the children, left with no other cboice, they have resulted to self help. Please leave them alone. Where is Farouk today? Shameless country!

ReplyDeleteThe way i see this thing is not like any other person oooo, consider these gifted and talented young Nigerians with technological skills and passion to do great things but our Leaders and Politician do not look into the future of what these young gifted technologically skill Nigerian can do with these to benefit Nigerian, the Navy, the Air Force, the Arm, the Police, the EFCC, the States, the Ministries, the gathering of Intelligence for the Nation, the Cyber life of Nigeria, etc when Nigeria turn these young skilled gifted Nigerians they have arrested into work for the good of the Nation by turning the strengths which looks like weakness to profit Nigerian and really take care of them by ensuring they are well provided for for life, and what seems to be evil would have be turned to be gain and profit for the Nigerian.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever asked yourself with all these skills and gift they have where do have to direct then into? They have no place to show what they have and can do and there can never be vacuum in the world because something must be filled. Dont tell all that thing about they look for something good to do, where is the something good that 150 Nigerians are looking for that same one thing.
America takes such gifted young individuals and make them profit the Nation in their FBI, CIA, Navy, etc to protect America and these guys are well taken cared of and not just little money, they are completed taken over by the Government and kept for the Nations good no matter the government that comes after the former.
Why can't Nigeria do same?
scam is very interesting. if this young guys could convince a white man then they should give them kudos, effc should go and apperehend those political expert
