I was ashamed and embarrassed when I heard a Nigerian who scammed Trump of $250,000 and now our government is running here and there looking for the boys, we should think about the future of this boys, most of them are graduates and after several years of job hurting, they could not bear it again because the bad government can not provide jobs and their frustration led them to opportunity of crime scene, though am not in support of their actions and crime but poor leadership and poor economy system can cause their issues of crime. Thank God $40,000 is currently recovered from those guys and instigation is still on going. What do you think about this fraudulent criminals and government? Aren't they the same?
There is no excuse for committing a crime. Many people in Nigeria are also under this bad government, but they choose to do legal jobs even when the pay is little. Some of these fraudsters are driven by greed and not survival. This is why you see them spending money on luxuries when they steal. Lack of employment opportunities contributes greatly to the rate of crime, but it shouldn't be an excuse to engage in it. When a criminal is caught he alone will face the consequences. His defence team cannot use bad government as a good reason for his release.
Sadly, the law is blind to corrupt politicians, but it becomes effective if a common man commits a crime. It is even the corrupt government that will send him to jail, so let's be guided.
