11 on that list were not named probably because of their nationality and the backlash.
The only core Nigerians on that list are 4 people, Which I refuse to mention.
So technically. This is an AMERICAN FRAUD SCHEME targeting its own citizens
You see how they use the media to always push narratives.
Nigeria does not have the financial infrastructure to move 215 million dollar.
Donโt let anyone gaslight you.
THIS IS AN AMERICAN THING.
Let me put this into context;
An average Nigerian can save up to buy a car of roughly 8 - 12 Million Naira.
That 10 Million will not get you a new car. It won't even get you a "recent" car. It gets you a Tokunbo (Direct Belgium) or a Nigerian-used vehicle.
Now, the car youโll get for 10M Naira is a 2009, 2010, or 2011 model. You are paying 10 Million Naira for a machine that has already been on the road for 15 years.
An average Nigerian will have to save for years just to raise that 10M.
Letโs assume you are a high earner. You earn 1M Naira monthly and you manage to save 500k every single month.
That is 1 year and 8 months of your life spent just to buy a 2010 Toyota.
But here is where things get crazy: While you are saving that 500k monthly, inflation is running faster than you.
By the time you reach your 10M goal in 20 months, that same 2010 car now costs 14M Naira.
Youโve saved for nearly two years only to find out youโre still 4 Million Naira short. You are chasing a finish line that keeps moving.
Now, understand that the "average" Nigerian doesn't earn 1M Naira. Most earn between 70k and 200k Naira.
For someone earning 200k, even saving a brave 50k a month, it would take 16 years to hit 10M.
By then, that car will be 30 years old and the price will have tripled.
Now;
Compare this to a median earner in the US.
They don't need to save for years. They can walk into a dealership, show a steady income, and drive away in a 2024 or 2025 model today.
They pay a small down payment and a monthly fee that is a fraction of their salary.
In Nigeria, we pay 100% upfront for a 15-year-old car that someone else has finished using.
We are using "New Car" energy and "Luxury" savings just to afford basic, aging transportation.
Do you know how fucked up and messed up that is?
If you talk down on anyone that can afford a car and make a mockery of them โ You're a high-end fool, especially if you don't have one yourself.
