Scam victims are as guilty as scammers

"People who fall for so-called " Nigerian scams" aren't victims at all—in fact, they're greedy and should be jailed, according to Nigerian high commissioner Sunday Olu Agbi. This is something i have always said, and i TOTALLY agree with him. He said on Friday, 22nd, August, that Nigeria has gained a bad reputation because of the scams perpetrated by a minuscule number of people, and that those who find themselves involved with the scams are equally as guilty as those running them.
"The Nigerian Government frowns very seriously on these scams... and every day tries to track down those who are involved," Olu Agbi told the Sydney Morning Herald in response to a previous article on Australians falling for Nigerian scams. "People who send their money are as guilty as those who are asking them to send the money."

Out of the 140 million people in Nigeria, Olu Agbi said that fewer than 0.1 percent were involved in Nigerian scams. The scams, also referred to as 419 scams or advance-fee fraud, predate the Internet, but have exploded in recent years thanks to the proliferation of e-mail and instant money transfers. Although the scams can take on many forms—from payments for products sold on eBay or Craigslist, to deposits on houses and purchases of plane tickets for "true love" on the other side of the ocean—they all follow the same general theme.

Scammers send huge checks to unsuspecting victims with some story attached to explain the overpayment, and the victim is expected to wire back the difference immediately. Eventually when the checks are deposited, they bounce and the victim is out a lot of money. Sometimes, victims are tricked into thinking they'll eventually be paid back and continue to participate in this endless cycle of sending money, especially if the scammer is wooing them romantically (which happens more commonly than one might think, to both men and women).

Although this kind of fraud originates from all over the world, it seems to have an unusually high concentration in Africa and, specifically, Nigeria. This has, unsurprisingly, cast Nigeria in a negative light. Olu Agbi said that Nigeria's reputation for being involved with the scams has even hurt the country's ability to land business deals. "Those who want to transact business with us are always very suspicious," he told the newspaper.
Nigerians are not trusted anywhere because of a very little percentage of people who are not straight forward.

I am sorry, but any fool who believes he can spend $1000 and gain $1000000 just by sitting on his ass is as stupid as a dumb fuck and deserves it if he gets scammed!

I was in a cyber cafe sometime last year and i saw a guy with pictures of puppies on his screen,i asked him why the puppies were there and he said they were for sale. I laughed and asked him if he thought any Nigerian would buy puppies online, knowing we ain't animal lovers. He equally laughed and told me he was advertising the puppies to foreigners, Americans to be precise, not Nigerians. He said the puppies on his screen actually cost between $800-$1000 each, but he advertsied them for $300. He also said he didn't have the puppies he advertised but pretended he did. And because they were $300, he always got stupid/greedy people who were willing to pay him for the so called 'puppies'. Let's be sincere to ourselves, why would anyone think a healthy puppy which cost between $800-$1000 would be sold for $300? Only a thief. So, the sammer and the scammee are both thieves!

I am not saying scamming is a good thing but those scammed deserve what they get for their greed. They get scammed cos they are greedy and are beaten by those who are more intelligent than they are.

I only feel sorry for those who are genuinely looking for true love but get scammed by stupid boys pretending to be girls! Enough said!

The Lion King and other stuff

A lion woke up one morning feeling rowdy. He went out and cornered a small monkey and roared, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The trembling monkey says, "You are, mighty lion!
Later, the lion confronts a deer and bellows, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
The terrified deer stammers, "Oh great lion, you are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle!"
On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, "Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?"
Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times, the lion feeling like it'd been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant then stomped on the lion till it looked like a corn tortilla, crapped on it, and ambled away.
The lion hollered after the elephant, "Damn, just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so pissed off."

A golden oldie Little Jonny.

The nun teaching Sunday School was speaking to her class one morningand she asked the question, 'When you die and go to Heaven...which part of your body goes first?'

Suzy raised her hand and said, 'I think it's your hands.'

'Why do you think it's your hands, Suzy?'

Suzy replied, 'Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first'

'What a wonderful answer!' the nun said.

Little Johnny raised his hand and said, 'Sister, I think it's your feet.'

The nun looked at him with the strangest look on her face.

'Now, Little Johnny, why do you think it would be your feet?

'Little Johnny said, 'Well, I walked into Mommy and Daddy's bedroom the other night and Mommy had her legs straight up in the air and she was saying, 'Oh ! God, I'm coming!'

'If Dad hadn't pinned her down, we'd have lost her.'

The Nun fainted.

U need to enlarge the above picture to be able to read it. It's really funny.

Nadal wins his first wimbledon ever

King of Clay, Raphael Nadal has broken Federer's dream of breaking Bjorn Borg's record of winning six consecutive Wimbledon championships!

Roger Federer has won the Wimbledon championship five consecutive times, starting from 2003 until 2007.

Rafael Nadal won his first grass championship ever, today! He is the King of clay and has beaten Federer nine times out of ten on clay, but had never won in any grass championship. Now that jinx has been broken. Nadal shed tears of joy after he played the last game that made him win.

He was winning 2 sets to nil against Federer but Federer stepped up his game and it was 2-2. 1st set was 6-4 to Nadal, 2nd set was 6-4 to Nadal, 3rd set was 7-6 to Federer, 4th set was 7-6. Then the 5th set was very hectic and heart pounding. My sister was rooting for Nadal cos she felt bad for him, i rooted for Federer cos i am a BIG fan of his, but it didn't happen. The last set was 9-7 to Nadal. The 5th set went like this: It was 6-6, our hearts were in our mouth swhile we watched, then it was 7-6, then 7-7, then 8-7 to Nadal and the 9th one was 9-7 and immediately Nadal fell to the ground.

The jinx has been broken and now Nadal's name is finally on the list of Wimbledon's winners.

The game was so long, it went on for about 4 hours 41 mins.

These two are the best tennis players in the world. King of clay (Raphael Nadal of Spain)versus the king of tennis (Roger Federer of Switzerland).

Federer is still the number tennis player in the world while Nadal is still the number 2 tennis player.

Fancy restrooms

Wedding of the century

What's up with all the trash, someone should have at least cleared it up!

Okay, what's up with the grrom's attire? He didn't even have the decency to button all up! Gee!!Okay, is that her daddy on the left and her grandfather on the right? I mean, people are having kids early these days but, come on! I am going to need clamps to close the shirt up... And where in the world did these shirts come from any way and what made them think they screamed 'Wedding Attire? lol.What's up with the dining room chairs here? Mmmmm.....I see some folks decided not to follow the dress code of all white. Thank goodness! Okkkkk....WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? Ok, aside from the stomach peeking out, who told this 'queen' that was a wedding dress? Heck, who told her it even matched? And why the heck are they standing so far away from each other?...maybe it's the stomach.Poor girls!! Why are they forcing these cute kids to go through this? lol. What do you think the little girl is thinking now? 'Momma, why you make me do this?' (Looks like the groom is thinking the same thing!)
Gee, say 'cheese' guys. Everyone looks so bored. Cheer up guys, everything is gonna be alright...or not !!! Lol.
Did he cut her leg with his sunglasses? Must have bumped into her mouth and knocked her tooth out too. At least she shaved her legs and had a pedicure on her big toe! Oh, peep the cell phone hanging from his shirt. Is he expecting a call...in the middle of his wedding reception???!!! WTF??? lol.
See the missing teeth and bruise? Maybe this picture is for the police when she files her domestic battery report.

Okay, these sunglasses get around. Plastic cups and straws that bend for everybody - even the bride! We won't try to guess what's in the cup, but you can bet it's not red Kool-aid! I would comment on the bride's friend in the picture, but I just don't have the heart. That must be Shaquisha...Lord, help 'em!
To top it all off is this.......things they call cake. lol. Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines: somebody - anybody - HELP!!! Can't nobody be proud of this! Did we run out of time to frost the cakes? Did we not have the same shape pans to do all three? And why in the world would you put those things on a cake tier? I hope there's some milk around to wash it down!

Avram Grant sacked

Avram Grant was sacked last night as Chelsea Manager, after only nine months of taking over from Jose Mourinho.

The club's chief executive, Peter Kenyon, had already paved the way for Grant's departure immediately after the defeat to Manchester United on penalties in the Luzhniki Stadium by claiming that second-best was not good enough for Chelsea.

Abramovich who claimed that Grant was a close personal friend, had no hesitation in formally dimissing his 'so called friend'.

Cheslea FC is becoming a joke! The guy took on the club's responsibilities when things were very tough. He had a hot to seat to sit on and he delivered, to the best of his abilities. Chelsea players are VERY good and well paid, they don't even need a coach to win a game.

At least he got to the final. He should have been given a chance to prove what he could do for the club, that's what sportsmanship is all about. That's why i think most Chelsea fans in Nigeria are not true fans.

A lot of them moved from Man. U and Arsenal when David Beckham and Kanu Nwankwo, left these two clubs respectively. Jose Mourinho started winning for Chelsea about five years ago and made Chelsea popular world wide and that was how MOST Chelsea fans in Nigeria were born.

True fans and club owners never give up no matter what!
