You all need to understand why western media do this. First to scare African-Americans so that they will never hope to return to Africa and the US/West loose a lot of labor and money. Secondly, they need to oil their ego to help reinforce their believe that they have the best political/economic system. Thirdly, they always want to find a way to justify slavery/colonialism. An average westerner is owned by a bank. If you are in Nigeria, nobody own you. Is what you see that you will "eat". And what you own are yours.

The population of Nigeria is 190.1 million people. That's Approximately 58% of the U.S population. So it is ludicrous to think that half of them are scammers. It's just a loud minority.
well its not half of the total population, its half of the youth. if "youth" is 16-20, that would be about 1/15 of the total population. or 1 scammer per 30 americans. still ludicrous, but at least a more accurate representation of what he claimed.
Hi I’m Nigerian living in Houston. Nice work . Keep it up. There is a lot more to why scammer scam . Start with the Government. The youth got the idea from them.
Love these videos. They constantly broaden my thinking and make me question my attitudes and biases. I had a friend commit suicide after being scammed by a Nigerian. I also was friends with a Nigerian priest who unselfishly left his homeland to serve the people of the U.S. for many years. Nigerians are like Americans....some are good and some are bad....and we all hurt each other when we forget that.
don't forget India and Pakistan. I have had emails from Nigerians claiming to be diamond merchants and needs to shift some diamonds fast and cheap, but most of the tech support, tax investigation calls, etc... are Pakistani or Indian.
Victor seems like such a nice down to earth guy. He deserves more. And I bet a lot of people in Nigeria does. If I was mrbeast or jake Paul I would defiantly try to get him a job, SOMEWHERE even if it wasn’t the USA
Hey Victor, you look like a great guy! Cheers from Brazil! Also, really appreciate your videos Ben; the pace and editing is great. Thanks for hours of fun.
A little support that the scammers numbers are over exaggerated is that you got the same scammer three times in a row. If there were a ton of youth scammers you think you’d have gotten a different scammer.
"binged" this little series and it is insane at how intricate these scams are in order to cover their bases, can't wait to see the next episode in the series
serious ,i was rejected many a times because am a NIGERIAN, they thought all nigerians are scammers....some company rejected me before GOD helps me to get a job outside Nigeria
It is really good to see this, not that I think all people in Nigeria are scammers or half of them for that matter but victor says a lot of smart things and he is putting the issues he and probably many others have to the spotlight witch can make others change their mind on the topic. Nice one
All the best to you Viktor and all the people trying to do honest work. I salute you. If I ever come across a Nigerian in a professional setting, I will leave my bias aside.
Thank you for this. My former US employer will tell you we had a great time working together over 4 years! Nigerians are smart and self driven. I'm Nigerian and proudly so!
I am Solomon a Nigerian in Lagos and I want the world to know that some Nigerians are beautiful people that are looking for a fighting chance in the global market. we ain't all scammer we have hardworking, educated and wonderful youths just like everywhere else in the world I am a freelanced web developer who finds it difficult to get work in the global market because of trust issues. Thank you for this videos they are awesome help us expose the Nigerian problem so that people like me can gain the trust of the world. Please remember not all Nigerians are fraudulent.
Ben, I'm impressed with what you're doing and you you offered help, well done. I'm actually a Nigerian, and you're absolutely right about this. Nigerian youths can be creative and hard working but there are very few opportunities here that's why many Nigerian youths are into this. Because of this bad impression people have about Nigerians, it has made things difficult for many people including me to be trusted. I'm a website designer but I'm yet to find a good opportunity, because many people said they couldn't trust me. But on a general note I really love what you're doing.
Thank You! ❤ In 20yrs of working with teens and helping them lead a value driven and profitable life, I can say there are more creative minds and need guidance, mentorship and right exposure. This video helps those of us committed to building healthy communities. I have followed the series with a heavy heart and thanks to Victor for speaking up. I will mail shortly.
When I worked at Bank of America, one of my coworkers was from Nigeria. She moved to the US years ago. She got promoted and eventually became my supervisor, before I got an offer from another company. She was very nice, and when I was out on leave, she made sure to keep in touch with me to make sure I was okay.
As much as I love your work, I totally agree with Victor's assertions on Nigerian youths. The truth is Nigerians are very industrious people. Take me for example...... After my graduation from the university, I went for my youth Corp service, I was posted to a rural area, a village called Mbar in Bokkos lga in Plateau State of Nigeria. I did not say because I came from the city (Lagos) I observed what people in the village do to make a living which was potatoes and maize farming, I engaged in it and excelled in this so much so I was able to start my family from what I was making but on getting married my wife wouldn't want to live in a village, I gave up crop farming and stayed without a job for 3months before I got a teaching job which I managed. Saved up money and got myself a dog as I love animals a lot this later turned into something big as kennelling is now one of my major source of income and am also into poultry. Whatam driving at is that not all Nigerian youth are scam artist as your video seems to be portraying us. Thanks
They are sorry no good scammers,they got that skilled to a t!! I was just scammed by one they make me not ever want too trust one again! They are making their own country look bad!
Anyone that doesn't hire me loses an opportunity. I don't have time to explain. I'm valuable and will continue to add value to myself and those I work for/with. Thanks @Victor for speaking up for us. I have a feeling a company I interviewed for recently didn't hire me because I'm Nigerian. They wished me well. I wish them well too, without me! In the words of George S. Patton ~ We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
I'm just one person but watching this has really made me stop and think about stereotypes. Thank you for informing us about the real Nigeria! Victor I hope you find plenty of work my friend!
Thanks man the same sh*t almost happened to me it took the guy great thinking before he finally trusted me and we have done beautiful business together ever since
I feel this is similar to people saying every American has a gun. Yes, they are easier to buy over there, but you shouldn't be scared of Americans or think that they all have guns because of it. (I am Australian)
Hey pleasant green I am a Nigerian and I would love to contribute as much as I can to the movie you would be planning to make. I am very excited you're doing this. And I hope and pray this movie would be a big hit. So many people would get to know the true face of Nigerian scammers. And the difference between the real/honest Nigerians.
I have a friend who is a Roman Catholic priest in Nigeria. I have known him for around 8 years and he is broken-hearted over the government corruption, how government money never helps hungry and sick kids, how citizens are mass-murdered and priests kidnapped and killed.
I sincerely do appreciate your what you have done and are doing to bring down this '419' industry. God help you. We are in this job together. Thank you.
Not all Nigerians / Africans are professional scammers. Many are hardworking and even superrich oil millionaires. However, in many countries honesty is not so highly valued. In fact... there are different standards / definitions for honesty. So... I would excercise care and awareness whenever dealing with anyone, including from our Western societies. Oh, by the ways, talking of Nigerians... Do watch the video of that Nigerian cook who survived spending three days in a capsized ship :) he had faith that God would deliver him! :)
I found your channel out of luck, I wait eagerly for a new video, you have very interesting content and still don’t understand how you don’t have more subscribers!! You’re doing an amazing job , keep the videos coming !!
we have a nigerian where i work , he came to sweden during the early 2000's as a legal immigrant & hes the nicest dude you could ever imagine meeting , granted he does understand swedish but he doesnt know how to speak swedish , if you start a conversation with him he'll just respond in nigerian , we mock him sometimes by asking him if hes drunk or something like that (mind you he doesnt care & the mocking is in a playfull manner ) . so no not all nigerians are bad ,
I am a Nigerian, and I recalled an occasion when I travelled out. People thought I was pretending, bcs I didn't act out the script they expected for Nigerians. We are generally nice
Last year I posted my four string bass guitar on Craiglist and someone claimed to be from Texas. This person said to cash in $1800 only and take $200 and put the rest back in my account. I refused to and I said i sold it to a police officer to scare that person and that person got mad at me. NO ONE EVER SCAMS ME!!!
Am a Nigerian, and I love u like crazy. Not every Nigerian youth is a scammer. I am a young Pharmacist, and there r tens of millions of young, legit hustlers like me in 9ja.
Hey Ben, I found your youtube channel today could you please make a ten-minute recap of your Lie-beria/In D grace of God series? It was a great story and might make it viral!
Absolutely love your videos. Positive vibes in a world full of negatives! Keep up the good work. Been following the channel for a while now. Any update on Joel and the water pumps at the schools?
Every person likes to eat and sleep, the internet makes it possible for everyone around the world to see people in other countries are just regular people like them. It will make us all friends with each other in the future ☺
Nice video once again. I AM A NIGERIAN, and I can tell you that there are A lot of serious and talented young people here in Nigeria making legitimate and decent income for themselves. Personally, I've trained over 300 Nigerians on how to import products into Nigeria and sell to make decent money. So why we're fighting to redeem our name, my team and I are trying to see how many young people we can take off poverty in Nigeria through the little skill on making legitimate income in the Ecom Niche. Because, lack of money and JOB drove 98% of these scammers into doing what they're doing. May God help us!
Pleasant green I will love to be part of the movie, please let me know when the production start...... I love to enlightening people.... Thanks pleasant green for this good work.
Well, I am glad to see these videos by trying to help orders from being scammed by people that will not use their skills and idea for something more important or better, or to affect the world positively but rather ripping off people just to show off at the end of the day, and thinking they have a good job. The thing i am not so happy about is how this affects other innocent people who are busy trying to use their skills. The truth of the matter is I am a Nigerian, and proudly Nigerian, and i will not pay for the sins of another lazy Nigerian, and for a fact there are so many good and hard working Nigerian. But with videos like this people are very quick to make judgments of every Nigerian being the same. And I have had some experience that ended up going the wrong way, all in the name of Nigerians. I will not deny my country, the only i can do is rather be a better Nigerian. I am a Music Producer, Teacher, Video Editor, Graphic Designer, A Multi-Talented Musician, Singer, Song writer, Bassist, keyboardist, drummer, sound engineer, percussionist, etc (you can check out my TH-cam page (pentatonickc) to see somethings i am trying in my own way to get my skills to the world, heal some heart, make people feel happy, giving hope to people, strengthening people suffering from broken relationships, etc. Through singing and playing the piano, and also through entertainment, etc). Everyday i still try to perfect my craft. i don't get so much sleep but putting myself to work. I think its extremely important that its clearly stated that NOT ALL NIGERIANS ARE SCAMMERS. As there are Good and Bad everywhere, I don't its fair to rub off on others. But never the less. I like your videos, I just advise for the clarification of NOT EVERY NIGERIANS ARE SCAMMERS, there are so many hard working Nigerians, looking for better and legitimate opportunity to work and see how to make money and also contribute to the world. And so many that are lovers of doing legit jobs even if they don't need to sleep just because of the love of their job and also to make living while they also share their skills. Thanks Once Again and Great Job You are doing... Regards... K.C
I Know that there are a lot of Nigerians that are Not Scammers... I know Some that are Real Good People And Very Hard Working!……. The Ones that Are Doing the Scamming are giving Nigerians A Bad Name.... it is Totally NOT TRUE... NOT ALL ARE

Thank you for this Video showing others what we really are. Nigerian youths are actually very hardworking people because we have to deal with a lot in this country. I have been insulted severely on Upwork and Fiverr where work as Freelance Video Director and Photographer some of my friends even advised me to Use VPN to get better locations so i can get jobs, but I don't bother because I need to continue working hard. I need to show the world what a great country Nigeria really is. Love you Videos Thank you for Showing the World that not all Nigerians are bad
yeah i know the pain then your talent/skill don't pays off, cause here in eastern europe artist are basically worthless, no job, they pay minimal wage all the time no matter how much degrees you have, maybe if you have high degree that may take time and even a decent budget that 65% of the whole nation wont be able to afford anyway. unless you fight and argue to get higher sallery that may end mostly in not getting hired. except in my case i feel like a real ghost no matter what i touch my hand just go right trough it, i can only touch my job but its painful at times welding in the cold for minimal pay. i know the pain of working a job that you hate but you wish to become an artist or use your creativity but sadly some dreams are doomed to remain dreams cause of the forces beyond your control. even studying at the same time while having a job is same result cause you are too tired or too sleepy to continue.

Agree, i will not take Nigerian employee.
Griffin Grendel but you’re apart of the proletariat so who are you employing?
q8420 Extremely loud. man those guys took it to the peak.
@q8420 Exactly. It's a loud minority.
Hi I’m Nigerian living in Houston. Nice work . Keep it up. There is a lot more to why scammer scam . Start with the Government. The youth got the idea from them.

Love these videos. They constantly broaden my thinking and make me question my attitudes and biases. I had a friend commit suicide after being scammed by a Nigerian. I also was friends with a Nigerian priest who unselfishly left his homeland to serve the people of the U.S. for many years. Nigerians are like Americans....some are good and some are bad....and we all hurt each other when we forget that.
I use a Nigerian writer on fiver regularly and I am over the moon with the quality of work provided.
I'm glad you've seen the light. You could hire me if you need extra help. I'm a professional writer from Nigeria. Thanks.
I write too. I have had a time getting clients,really. Being in this country hurts one's dreams.
Steven Gerard how will you be hired when your TH-cam name is Steven Gerard? Isn’t that in itself a scam?
don't forget India and Pakistan. I have had emails from Nigerians claiming to be diamond merchants and needs to shift some diamonds fast and cheap, but most of the tech support, tax investigation calls, etc... are Pakistani or Indian.

@@ihaveaplan9763 are you involved in one of those scams?

@@cfalcon0754 Aye, love from Toronto💪🏿
Victor seems like such a nice down to earth guy. He deserves more. And I bet a lot of people in Nigeria does. If I was mrbeast or jake Paul I would defiantly try to get him a job, SOMEWHERE even if it wasn’t the USA
Hey Victor, you look like a great guy! Cheers from Brazil! Also, really appreciate your videos Ben; the pace and editing is great. Thanks for hours of fun.
Oi tudo bem
Thank you, Ben I'm so grateful to God for your clarification that not all Nigerians are scammers with this TH-cam video. God bless you.
I lost $5000 to scammers in the mid to late 2000s. I appreciate your work.
A little support that the scammers numbers are over exaggerated is that you got the same scammer three times in a row. If there were a ton of youth scammers you think you’d have gotten a different scammer.
"binged" this little series and it is insane at how intricate these scams are in order to cover their bases, can't wait to see the next episode in the series
serious ,i was rejected many a times because am a NIGERIAN, they thought all nigerians are scammers....some company rejected me before GOD helps me to get a job outside Nigeria
Thank you for making this video. Honestly, it's a better wrap-up to the "A Scam Story" Series than I could have hoped for.
It is really good to see this, not that I think all people in Nigeria are scammers or half of them for that matter but victor says a lot of smart things and he is putting the issues he and probably many others have to the spotlight witch can make others change their mind on the topic. Nice one
All the best to you Viktor and all the people trying to do honest work. I salute you. If I ever come across a Nigerian in a professional setting, I will leave my bias aside.
Thank you for this. My former US employer will tell you we had a great time working together over 4 years!
Nigerians are smart and self driven. I'm Nigerian and proudly so!
omg these 10 mins videos are killing me...so much suspense :D
As a Nigerian and content creator, i'm so excited to see where this goes!😁
No....
I'm a Nigerian national
and I'm not a scammer
Ehigiator Henry you are a scammer man!
But majority Nigerian they are
Ehigiator Henry ...I believe you and you only tho.. the rest of them are tho ...#Yahoozeeeeeeeeee
Don’t listen to these wackos, they probably never left the county their mother and uncle had them in. Not all Nigerians are scammers!
The first comments are probably irony, don’t take it seriously
I love this Channel ! Probably the smartest way I've ever known to raise awareness !
Wow an actual Nigerian, I get to hear one every day
With Nigerians like Victor, one step at a time, we'll change the narrative. Thanks for this video, it was both funny and educative.
Honestly dude it's awesome to think about all the good you're doing over there I think your impact is bigger than you think
I am Solomon a Nigerian in Lagos and I want the world to know that some Nigerians are beautiful people that are looking for a fighting chance in the global market. we ain't all scammer we have hardworking, educated and wonderful youths just like everywhere else in the world I am a freelanced web developer who finds it difficult to get work in the global market because of trust issues.
Thank you for this videos they are awesome help us expose the Nigerian problem so that people like me can gain the trust of the world.
Please remember not all Nigerians are fraudulent.
Did you really have to use the worst scene Nollywood has ever shot?
I'm a Nigerian Tho, been following your videos up, good job!
Now, i don't like Nigerian anymore, it shows their real color. Everyone keep safe away from nigerians.
You're a really good storyteller and I think this video was very honourable, keep it up!
those scammers has destroyed the images of Nigeria's and is really bad
@@Farquad76.547 i see u are looking for trouble
I know where you can find that
Dude imagine
if you want to be safe in this world, keep away from Nigerians.
@@griffingrendel9911 hm.
Ben, I'm impressed with what you're doing and you you offered help, well done. I'm actually a Nigerian, and you're absolutely right about this. Nigerian youths can be creative and hard working but there are very few opportunities here that's why many Nigerian youths are into this. Because of this bad impression people have about Nigerians, it has made things difficult for many people including me to be trusted. I'm a website designer but I'm yet to find a good opportunity, because many people said they couldn't trust me. But on a general note I really love what you're doing.
It’s not just Nigerian scammers it’s also India
And also Indians are thought of being always telemarket scammers :|
Thank You! ❤
In 20yrs of working with teens and helping them lead a value driven and profitable life, I can say there are more creative minds and need guidance, mentorship and right exposure.
This video helps those of us committed to building healthy communities. I have followed the series with a heavy heart and thanks to Victor for speaking up.
I will mail shortly.
I love your videos about scammers! They are reaally good
When I worked at Bank of America, one of my coworkers was from Nigeria. She moved to the US years ago. She got promoted and eventually became my supervisor, before I got an offer from another company. She was very nice, and when I was out on leave, she made sure to keep in touch with me to make sure I was okay.
He totally just pulled the "one out of 10.000" out of thin air.
Nigeria has an estimated population of 206,139,589 people in 2020. So his assumptions aren't that far off.
@@olayinkaedun7636 20k is either too high or too low
Great video. So many thanks to Victor for sharing and to you Ben for all your videos.
As much as I love your work, I totally agree with Victor's assertions on Nigerian youths.
The truth is Nigerians are very industrious people. Take me for example...... After my graduation from the university, I went for my youth Corp service, I was posted to a rural area, a village called Mbar in Bokkos lga in Plateau State of Nigeria. I did not say because I came from the city (Lagos) I observed what people in the village do to make a living which was potatoes and maize farming, I engaged in it and excelled in this so much so I was able to start my family from what I was making but on getting married my wife wouldn't want to live in a village, I gave up crop farming and stayed without a job for 3months before I got a teaching job which I managed. Saved up money and got myself a dog as I love animals a lot this later turned into something big as kennelling is now one of my major source of income and am also into poultry.
Whatam driving at is that not all Nigerian youth are scam artist as your video seems to be portraying us. Thanks
They are sorry no good scammers,they got that skilled to a t!! I was just scammed by one they make me not ever want too trust one again! They are making their own country look bad!
I'm from plateau state. Mangu lga. Please subscribe to my channel.
Anyone that doesn't hire me loses an opportunity. I don't have time to explain. I'm valuable and will continue to add value to myself and those I work for/with.
Thanks @Victor for speaking up for us.
I have a feeling a company I interviewed for recently didn't hire me because I'm Nigerian. They wished me well. I wish them well too, without me!
In the words of George S. Patton
~ We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Wow, amazing. I'm a Nigerian and I'm a proud one at that
I'm just one person but watching this has really made me stop and think about stereotypes. Thank you for informing us about the real Nigeria! Victor I hope you find plenty of work my friend!
Good on you!❤️
Thanks man the same sh*t almost happened to me it took the guy great thinking before he finally trusted me and we have done beautiful business together ever since
Ben, I cannot wait for your movie! Good luck from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I feel this is similar to people saying every American has a gun. Yes, they are easier to buy over there, but you shouldn't be scared of Americans or think that they all have guns because of it. (I am Australian)
Am watching from Jamaica !!! I really enjoy watching this 💯💯😎
May almighty Allah continue to expose them were ever they are.
May he expos u too
Hey pleasant green I am a Nigerian and I would love to contribute as much as I can to the movie you would be planning to make. I am very excited you're doing this. And I hope and pray this movie would be a big hit. So many people would get to know the true face of Nigerian scammers. And the difference between the real/honest Nigerians.
Victor seems like a cool guy
I have a friend who is a Roman Catholic priest in Nigeria. I have known him for around 8 years and he is broken-hearted over the government corruption, how government money never helps hungry and sick kids, how citizens are mass-murdered and priests kidnapped and killed.
"Last year" oh Ben you're such a great Dad.
I sincerely do appreciate your what you have done and are doing to bring down this '419' industry. God help you. We are in this job together. Thank you.
Not all Nigerians / Africans are professional scammers. Many are hardworking and even superrich oil millionaires. However, in many countries honesty is not so highly valued. In fact... there are different standards / definitions for honesty. So... I would excercise care and awareness whenever dealing with anyone, including from our Western societies.
Oh, by the ways, talking of Nigerians... Do watch the video of that Nigerian cook who survived spending three days in a capsized ship :) he had faith that God would deliver him! :)
I found your channel out of luck, I wait eagerly for a new video, you have very interesting content and still don’t understand how you don’t have more subscribers!!
You’re doing an amazing job , keep the videos coming !!
we have a nigerian where i work , he came to sweden during the early 2000's as a legal immigrant & hes the nicest dude you could ever imagine meeting , granted he does understand swedish but he doesnt know how to speak swedish , if you start a conversation with him he'll just respond in nigerian , we mock him sometimes by asking him if hes drunk or something like that (mind you he doesnt care & the mocking is in a playfull manner ) . so no not all nigerians are bad ,
I am a Nigerian, and I recalled an occasion when I travelled out. People thought I was pretending, bcs I didn't act out the script they expected for Nigerians. We are generally nice
@@emmanuela8503 oh shit
I LOVE these videos. Thanks for posting!!
I have many Nigerian friends in UK. I also attend Nigerian's church too. Some of them are my customers too.
Last year I posted my four string bass guitar on Craiglist and someone claimed to be from Texas. This person said to cash in $1800 only and take $200 and put the rest back in my account. I refused to and I said i sold it to a police officer to scare that person and that person got mad at me. NO ONE EVER SCAMS ME!!!
There are scammers everywhere Victor is right :)
Am a Nigerian, and I love u like crazy. Not every Nigerian youth is a scammer. I am a young Pharmacist, and there r tens of millions of young, legit hustlers like me in 9ja.
Hey Ben, I found your youtube channel today could you please make a ten-minute recap of your Lie-beria/In D grace of God series? It was a great story and might make it viral!
Absolutely love your videos. Positive vibes in a world full of negatives! Keep up the good work. Been following the channel for a while now.
Any update on Joel and the water pumps at the schools?
You're a very good friends to Nigerians 😂😂😂
Every person likes to eat and sleep, the internet makes it possible for everyone around the world to see people in other countries are just regular people like them. It will make us all friends with each other in the future ☺
Nice video once again. I AM A NIGERIAN, and I can tell you that there are A lot of serious and talented young people here in Nigeria making legitimate and decent income for themselves.
Personally, I've trained over 300 Nigerians on how to import products into Nigeria and sell to make decent money.
So why we're fighting to redeem our name, my team and I are trying to see how many young people we can take off poverty in Nigeria through the little skill on making legitimate income in the Ecom Niche. Because, lack of money and JOB drove 98% of these scammers into doing what they're doing.
May God help us!
be safe, get away from nigerian better for your self.
fix the link for victors profile, its set as your sponsor's affiliate link for the video.
I fixed it!

Here we go, more mayhem!
Well, I am glad to see these videos by trying to help orders from being scammed by people that will not use their skills and idea for something more important or better, or to affect the world positively but rather ripping off people just to show off at the end of the day, and thinking they have a good job. The thing i am not so happy about is how this affects other innocent people who are busy trying to use their skills. The truth of the matter is I am a Nigerian, and proudly Nigerian, and i will not pay for the sins of another lazy Nigerian, and for a fact there are so many good and hard working Nigerian. But with videos like this people are very quick to make judgments of every Nigerian being the same. And I have had some experience that ended up going the wrong way, all in the name of Nigerians. I will not deny my country, the only i can do is rather be a better Nigerian. I am a Music Producer, Teacher, Video Editor, Graphic Designer, A Multi-Talented Musician, Singer, Song writer, Bassist, keyboardist, drummer, sound engineer, percussionist, etc (you can check out my TH-cam page (pentatonickc) to see somethings i am trying in my own way to get my skills to the world, heal some heart, make people feel happy, giving hope to people, strengthening people suffering from broken relationships, etc. Through singing and playing the piano, and also through entertainment, etc). Everyday i still try to perfect my craft. i don't get so much sleep but putting myself to work. I think its extremely important that its clearly stated that NOT ALL NIGERIANS ARE SCAMMERS. As there are Good and Bad everywhere, I don't its fair to rub off on others. But never the less. I like your videos, I just advise for the clarification of NOT EVERY NIGERIANS ARE SCAMMERS, there are so many hard working Nigerians, looking for better and legitimate opportunity to work and see how to make money and also contribute to the world. And so many that are lovers of doing legit jobs even if they don't need to sleep just because of the love of their job and also to make living while they also share their skills. Thanks Once Again and Great Job You are doing...
Regards...

Teach the scammers how to scam banks and loan companies out of getting rid of people's debt.
I took a DNA test a couple months ago and it showed that I was 37.1% Nigerian. I've been fighting the urge to scam ever since.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ctfu
ideally the shame to all Nigerians would make their government crack down on the Nigerian scammers. Same with Indian scammers.
what about American and European scammers...shame on them too?
@@youwontlikemysteeze2945for sure!
I love your videos, but this is my favorite. Thank you for making it - and especially for publishing Victor's Upwork profile link.
I Know that there are a lot of Nigerians that are Not Scammers... I know Some that are Real Good People And Very Hard Working!……. The Ones that Are Doing the Scamming are giving Nigerians A Bad Name.... it is Totally NOT TRUE... NOT ALL ARE
Thank you 🙏
Human being are always judging each other
Am proudly from Nigeria 🇳🇬.. Social Media is making it looks like all Nigeria youth are scammers. Nigeria youth are creative if i will say. And most of them don't depend on the government because they are self employed like me. Am proud of my job and am not a lazy one.. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬
Cool I'm Nigerian from Lancaster ca
I'll love to star in your movie
I'm a unique character...actually a late diagnosed tumor successfully excised gave me a look of a 12 yrs old even tho I'm chronological 34.
I am skilful
I have MSc in Biochemistry. ...I am jobless...I do some online stuffs....I am not a scammer
In fact my MSc thesis is presently on review by an Elsevier journal
Thank you for this Video showing others what we really are. Nigerian youths are actually very hardworking people because we have to deal with a lot in this country. I have been insulted severely on Upwork and Fiverr where work as Freelance Video Director and Photographer some of my friends even advised me to Use VPN to get better locations so i can get jobs, but I don't bother because I need to continue working hard. I need to show the world what a great country Nigeria really is. Love you Videos
Thank you for Showing the World that not all Nigerians are bad
yeah i know the pain then your talent/skill don't pays off, cause here in eastern europe artist are basically worthless, no job, they pay minimal wage all the time no matter how much degrees you have, maybe if you have high degree that may take time and even a decent budget that 65% of the whole nation wont be able to afford anyway. unless you fight and argue to get higher sallery that may end mostly in not getting hired.
except in my case i feel like a real ghost no matter what i touch my hand just go right trough it, i can only touch my job but its painful at times welding in the cold for minimal pay.
i know the pain of working a job that you hate but you wish to become an artist or use your creativity but sadly some dreams are doomed to remain dreams cause of the forces beyond your control. even studying at the same time while having a job is same result cause you are too tired or too sleepy to continue.
