The fraudulent activities in Nigeria has indeed reach an all time high even to the extent that it has been a topic in schools abroad as teacher teaches the student on fraudulent countries in the world.

This popularity in the fraudulent activities in the country has done no good to the image of the country and Africa as a whole.
This young Nigerian lady who is currently studying in the United Kingdom, shared the questions they were asked concerning “the advance fee fraud” with Nigeria been among the option which might be the right answer alongside other countries like Spain, Egypt and Russia.

The young lady said she was stunned to find Nigeria among the options given under the question.
Miss Fola Ogunsemo shared a picture of the question she was asked and she said she felt embarrassed seeing the negative and ill remark said concerning her country. She revealed her displeasure on the negative effects of internet fraudsters caused by young Nigerians who engage in duping innocent people of their hard earned money.

She posted screenshots of the examination question sheet in which they were asked which country has the most advance  internet fraudsters.

She took to her Instagram handle to express her disappointment in her country and that she felt ashamed of being a Nigerian as her white friends were asking her how she felt about the question.

“This photo below is a screenshot of my exam paper for a module with the title “Law in a business context” and the question which I circled red was among the questions I was asked today 23rd of May. Words can’t express my disappointment as I stepped out of the exam hall, my friends were asking me how I felt about the number 22 question and for the first time in my life, I wished I was not  Nigerian.”

She went on as she express her disappointment, she added;

“Everybody knows fraud is been committed in every country but for Nigeria to be recognized as one of the country with the highest fraudsters and also been asked in an examination for students studying in the United Kingdom, then it is really bad and unbearable and it has not portrayed Nigeria as a nation with good people. My lecture slide enlightened me on a typical example with specific reference to the popular internet fraudsters, popularly known as the “Yahoo Yahoo boys” story in a green circle, I was curios so I did more research on “Advance-fee scam” hoping that it was exaggerated in my lecture slide, only to find out that the information in lecture slide was true and accurate.

I am displeased and devastated at the moment realizing that there’s been so much said about the “Yahoo boys” on the internet across the world and this is not helping matters at all and the reputation of the country has been ridiculed because of internet fraudsters in the country.”

Nigeria is sitting comfortably in the 3rd position in global internet crimes just behind the United Kingdom and the United State of America according to the chairman of the  Nigerian Communication Commission, Professor Umar Danbatta.

In 2015, N127 billion was the estimated amount of money lost to cyber crime activities in Nigeria.
