It cannot be Overemphasize how deeply internet fraud has eaten into the acceptable norms and culture in the Nigeria society, Internet scam became popular in the 20th century generation when there was an unprecedented increase in the population of workable Young men in Nigeria (between the ages of 16-39). The reason for its popularity cannot be far fetch. Imagine a generation that was not planned for, a generation that was born to improvised for itself, a generation that grew up to met things messed up, a generation were an internet fraudster has a brighter chance of becoming successful in life than a first class University graduate. All that was planned for this generation was for us to hustle out things the way we see fit and be a burden to ourselves.
Since the World has decided to leave Nigerians to their Problem (Of Bad Leadership) the opportune ones were able to travel overseas for greener pasture, the ones left here were forced to find a means of survival.
Before it was a means of survival, Now Internet fraud has become the predominate business of most Nigerians and the mainstay for virtually all Nigeria youths. The societal structure and cyber crime policing enabled the trend to grow unabated
Nigerian Internet Fraudsters are no longer comfortable in operating in their own Country, because of the stiff international regulations On African countries especially Nigeria and the unfavorable working condition cause by the level development in the country that is serving as constraints in exercising their fraudulent act. Internet fraudsters are now forced to travel to some susceptible country to perpetrate their acts. these are among the reasons why there is a new trend of Nigerian internet Fraudsters Traveling to Malaysia, India, South Africa, Ghana etc to further intensify their act
Nigeria Internet Fraudsters has got to a crisis level and it should be treated like a global problem if there is going to be a headway. Internet scamming among youth in Nigeria as become highly contiguous and more communicable than the dreaded Ebola virus because modern day Nigerian takes pride in doing it as a profession, to the extent that any persons seen operating a laptop is an Internet Scammer (Yahoo boy)and this shows why it is now being spread to other part of Africa and the World.
Discussing about the Reasons and Impact of this act in Nigeria and to the rest of the World would be too cumbersome. From causing inflation, creating vacuum in necessary and relevant sector of the economy, to causing pains and depression to vulnerable and emotional victims. etc
But the underlying facts remains that any further negligence by World Body would further spell disaster to vulnerable internet users especially in the more sophisticated Countries of the World.
Understandably International Organization such as the United Nations are Busy warring for world peace, other relevant agency that are capable of organizing and harmonizing Nations should step up to this challenge and help make a safe cyber system for its users, by putting together a think tank to help phantom an adverse solution to this global problem
