A New Scam May Be Spreading Through Banking Halls: How To Fight It


More than ever, we are an interconnected world. Therefore, more than ever, whatever affects one affects all far more easily than ever before.

First off, I thank the world governments, and especially the United States, for helping to rid my country Nigeria of crimes. 

There's one particularly painful case I read the other day in which an American girl lost her life. Again, on behalf of my country, I say "I am sorry" for the death of that possibly future great scientist or leader.

May the world kindly understand that it's not all of us in Nigeria who support crime and corruption. For instance, anyone familiar with political events in Nigeria may be aware of the Obidient Movement in which millions of young, middle-age, and even elderly Nigerians contributed resources and fought to enthrone credible leadership in the country last year but couldn't due to entrenched culture of corruption, unhealthy ethnic rivalry, illiteracy, greed, and a host of other social ills.

We too in Nigeria who don't subscribe to the culture of crime that has given our country such a bad name, should do something meaningful to supplement the good efforts of the world governments in combating crimes in the country.

With this in mind, I put down my eyes and found something which - I think - is great. It started one day when I had some very important transaction to run at a branch of my bank: I discovered a clue to a long-standing banking security puzzle.

After studying that incident, it seems to me that one of the loopholes being exploited by the young scam artists in Nigeria is easy access to the data of a huge population of illiterate/computer-illiterate/internet-illiterate Nigerians. They use such stolen identities to successfully execute their infamous trade.

What is the solution to this? First, abundant awareness of this should be created in Nigeria and beyond. It's a part of what I am doing and will continue to do. I urge everyone to assist me in getting the message across. There are also other criminal landscapes I am studying in Nigeria.

I ultimately want to create a media synergy with the rest of the world. This media network will get so wide and overwhelming, so strong and surging that it can only obliterate every trace of scam networks across Nigeria and their international extensions.

Thank you.

How To Handle Your Haters: A Lesson From Bill Gates And His Daughter (2)

Bill and Phoebe Gates. Image credit: Business Insider Do you know what? I learned that, growing up, Bill Gates was too small for his age and was often bullied at school and on the streets. As a result, he had very few friends - no more than two per time. As related in the archives , young Bill was a recluse who spent hours cocooned in his room. Once, during such a social withdrawal, his mom asked after him over the intercom, and Bill shouted back, “ I'm thinking… Have you ever tried thinking? ” The fact is: Young Bill Gates didn't have many friends. Unknown to him, many of his peers snubbed him because a rumor spread around town that “ Bill is the weirdest guy that God ever made ”. As acknowledged by Washington Post's Mark Leibovich, the real issue was that the boy Bill Gates III was an infant prodigy. As a result, he just couldn't get along with most of his peers and vice versa. But, it hardly became an issue to him because his attention was essentially somewhere else....
