HAHAHAHAHAHA! That's the best thing I have seen in a while. I certainly hope those were scammers and I certainly hope that it was someone here.
I completely see the reason to own someone for life with a tattoo. A constant reminder of what idiots they are. |

I'd feel really bad for these guys IF this were just someone's idea of a sick joke.
But, just because folk in Africa and parts of the developing world might live in somewhat different conditions, and have different society and religions, etc., to those of us in Western countries, it doesn't make them
any less intelligent. (I've dealt with two Nigerian guys recently in the course of my professional work, and they both have similar degrees and the same qualifications as I do).
So, IMHO, I think we're only getting part of the story in the reports....I'd back a few $$ on the likelihood that greed overtook common sense somewhere along the line. |

No one's saying developing countries have a lock on stupidity. There's plenty Westerners who think there's a trunk box waiting for them.

I belive the general/majority concensus is that these are lads who got the crap baited out of them. I don't think the innocent victims story adds up. Three people (2 lads & an oga) are duped into believe the 2 guys were going to get hired as intelligence officers but have to get a full facial tattoo first?! And the two guys just rushed right out to get the tatts?? Then when the chief (oga) gets the message & realizes something's up, it's too late, laddies were already inked?? Anyone is going to think twice about getting their face tattooed. If for no other reason, finances, that stuff isn't cheap.
Of course anyone can be manipulated & indoctrinated, but there is more to this story for sure. |

Absolutely...that was what I was getting at in my last post, and sorry if it might have sounded a bit patronising, not intended.
There's enough greed and stupidity in the so-called developed countries, as events in the last few weeks are proving.
My two Nigerian friends tell me that they have no problems with racial prejudice at all in the UK, but they do sometimes sense caution by people doing new business with them, just because of the bad reputation the actions of scammers has given to the majority of honest folk there. |

Even among other Africans they have a reputation for being slicksters and that's outside the 419 context. It's not all the lads' fault. They're smart and clever people. They make cool movies too to Nollywood. |
