I was going through the social media and came across this news about the Economic and Financial Crime Commission Chairman, Olukoyede saying that 7 out of 10 Nigerian students are involved in cyber crime. This is not something to be proud of because it means that 70% of Nigerian students are into cyber crime which I think it is not true entirely when deeper analysis is done about it.

We know that the rate of cyber crime within Nigerians and especially student is increasing but I don’t think it has gotten to that level that he said already. We know this moment are hard times and the economy is not friendly to everyone. Settling for cyber fraud shouldn’t be the last resort for any Nigerian. How can this be averted in the country and what are the possible solutions to stop students from involving in such criminal activities.

Before the Man came out to make such statement publicly, they must have made adequate research. The rate at which Nigerian students not just students but the Youths are involved in cyber crime is really alarming. But it will be very good for him to brief the president about how bad the situation is in the country, so that drastic measures will be put in place to reduce this high trend in cyber crime in the country. It's not enough to make statistics and releasing figures. You have to do something to engage those youths in something meaningful that will make them stop the act of fraud. You can't tell someone to stop what is giving him/her food when there is nothing on ground for the person to keep surving on when he/she drops the act you frown at.
Nigerian that is involve in cyber crime they learnt it from another country and that is why we don't need to blame them that much, what we are suppose to be saying right now is to know how we can advice our people to stop fraudulent act, but not by using efcc to arrest them and after everything the efcc officers will still encouraging to continue so that they can enriched themselves..the thing is that Nigerian youths is giving our country bad name which not supposed, and every one outside the country may be thinking that we maybe all Nigerian youths are scam
