Intellectual Crime with no blood........
2, Most of the "victims" are Naive fools and should share some of the blame too. But their greed shouldnt justify what these 419ers are doing......
3, As a Naija up here, do I feel ashamed of Nigeria bc of ABC's expose' ? Yes and No. Yes bc of the situation in Nigeria n our govt's inability to make things better for the masses........No, because I also understand that this peeps gotto find a means to stack bread
Every country has its own lil struggle...n when the spotlight is on a country, every lil thing becomes magnified. There is a saying that when the sinners are being punished, most times the innocents get to share in the punishment. For every story of this nature out there...many of ya classmates, colleagues n co know many positive Nigerians doing good. Like my boy Saucekid would say, "It's Naija"
4, The Naija govt/leaders are really to blame. If the country wasnt that ****ed up (lack of job, poor standard of living n all), many of our youths wouldnt be in this predicament...kids wasting their lives away looking for that "Big Hit". The govt has failed us but peeps gotto survive...the failure doesnt fully justify the scams but it makes it understandable....
When everything breaksdown, the #1 goal is to survive..then to maintain...then to sustain
