So, I have heard many scammers are from Nigeria.
I am not trying to justify anything or anyone but when look deep in to insight, if Nigeria has the most scammer then the first thing to be looked at is the economy. Nigeria as a country has silently pasted “ your survival is your business” as their motto, no one really cares not even the government.
If you are not rich you cannot start a new business, if you don’t have the best connection you cannot get a good job in a big company. If you are not rich you cannot go the a good average school, if you are not rich you cannot study the course of you choice.. you most go for the best affordable course, if you are not rich you cannot dress properly, if you are not rich you cannot eat properly even chicken is no longer a regular man food cause it is expensive, if you are not rich you cannot think of owning a car or even renting one plus public bus is a topic for another day.
The reality of Nigeria is only the rich can survive.
In a country like this how and why won’t there be scammers even the government are frauds too they are only focused of getting all the money they can to preserve it for their generations. The hardship here is different.
There are no jobs, getting a loan is almost impossible if you don’t have a reliable source of income or any property to mortgage, many are dropout, many are graduates with out job, many did not even smell the coners of school, many cannot afford medical bills , many are starving and everybody wants to survive. So i wouldn’t say they are looking for quick money instead I would say they are all trying to survive.
Op this is the notion that most countries have about Nigerians , and when you look at critical there is no country in the world that you will not have one Nigerian in that country , Nigeria is quite a blessed country with so many mineral resources and natural vegetations but the wicked leaders do not really want the country to grow beyond her current stage .no doubt nigeria has so many scammers but this idea of fraud was instituted as a result of bad governance, lack of unemployment by graduate youths and most youths took it upon themselves to earn a living .
Because if the Nigeria economy is good and the government has the interest of her citizens at heart I don’t really think that someone will think about internet fraud or any form of scam .but Nigeria government don’t care instead they steal from the budget that are meant to cater for the citizens especially the youths .
