    Africa is corrupt today because of it´s corrupt and selfish leaders who are only thinking for themselfs and their family only.

  • soul2soul4ever

    Lets face the fact that the big scammers are the Nigeria leaders who are banking the Nigerian oil money overseas while it´s citizen are living under less than a dollar per day. And the law is aginst catching and putting them in the prison. Nobody should blame those guys.If they really want to end scam, the government of Nigeria should think of making Nigeria to be like the Western world where every citizen can work and earn good money.

    hold on a minute. while i completely agree with the fact that 419 is rampant in my country and i heavily criticise nigerian leaders and to some extent the nigerian mentality, the narrator is absolutely out of order to paint a picture to the american public of nigeria as a nation teeming with louts and all desperately poor to the point of scamming. wtf…, has he been to the country before? did he know where lagos was before he went to its slums and declared it a corrupt ridden disgrace of a city

    ‘A sprawling crime ridden disgrace of a city’
    Only an OLD FOOL can say that

    So if I’m starving and I kill someone and eat that person its perfectly fine since I was starving?
    You see how your logic fails there? This is exactly why we have THE LAW. Because people like you think too much with their hearts rather than with their heads.

    Infact i love this documentry so much. Let`s face the reality, Nigerians are suffering too much, we have petroleum still we the poorest.They shouldn`t blame those guys they are just looking for their daily bread from a country where the leaders are corrupt.

    dear lisabug77
    i hope when u say one of “them” you arent referring to nigerians in general
    because there are 135 million of us, just so u know.
    and furthermore i just have to say that if you get fooled on the internet you have none but urself to blame.
    sorry abt ur friend tho.

    oh and secondly, for those earopean idiots who are falling for these scams, you deserve to be scammed cos you’re being greedy yourselves. you have nothing to do with nigeria but you respond to an email claming you have won money..you are a big bufoon if you get scammed by these guys and it serves you right. no black,asian,latino or jewish person will ever get scammed by them, just stupid white people.

  • pirell

    its bad that these people are scamming, but white people scam the most. the same way america scams africa by giving them IMF loans, and world bank loans, controlling their economy so that they send the west cheap goods while the poor farmers who produce the goods remain poor. and the western farmers get subsidies from the govt so they can afford to flood africa with goods. yes you are right, God works in mysterious ways, its a viscious circle of lies and deceipt, and its black and white.

  • covmatak

    These scammers are giving nigerians around the world a bad reputation…

  • rico9ja

    exactly!!!

  • larsedvartl

    Ah… lovely fottage on 5:41

  • henh32

    Ha Ha. Even my Nigerian mate tells me that Nigerians are the most corrupt race in the world! His own dad tried to sell the family home without the family knowing.

    But the scammed Americans are not innocent. They think their’ fee is helping to launder money out of Nigeria. It takes a thief to catch a thief!

  • CaptainScarlet07

    Do unto others as you would have other do unto you, not only are we wise to these Nigerian criminals, but we have the satisfaction of knowing the have to live in adverse poverty for ever. God works in mysterious ways

  • moolkool98

    i love nigerians

  • jnwokeoma

    Why would your best friend look for a husband on the internet I think is dumb

  • skenod

    It’s funny when the abc reporter said that the average income in Lagos is a dollar a week, a dollar a week when converted to Naira (Nigerian currency) is about 120 Naira, based on the current exchange rate, and so, a months income is about $4 or 500 Naira, Dear reporter, don’t be so stupid, nobody can survive in Nigeria on 500 naira a month, to give you an example, a bottle of coke is about 80 naira, the nigerian minimum wage is 6500 naira, even that is not enough to survive Lagos.
