  I’m watching right now on @ABC a press release by @FBILosAngeles on Nigerian internet scam syndicate. A heart shattering embarrassment to this country, those we call yahoo boys have scammed Americans to the tune of $1.1bn between Jan-July this year alone. This is a disaster!

  Whilst our media is busy celebrating overnight millionaires & our Police granting security protection to young billionaires with zero history of work, innovation breakthroughs or family inheritance, innocent citizens are suffering monumental shame at airports due to this scam.

  This is a calamity. We have to start calling out these questionable millionaires & billionaires amongst us, especially overnight real estate moguls, “oil & gas magnates”, etc. Not all Nigerian youths are criminals, and we must never let these guys keep ruining our image this way!

  I am currently blocking every handle that either subtly or by implication justifies internet or any kind of fraud on my TL. Kindly tag me on any of such that I may miss. I have no patience for stupidity. Thank you.

  So I woke up to see that every major media all over the world now has the news of 80 Nigerians internet fraud as their headline. This is probably the biggest publicity out of Nigeria since the kidnap of Chibok girls, & yes, it is bad news again!
  
  Dear Lord, why am I a Nigerian?
