We now chat on yahoo & yes money has been mentioned ? If it is a scam no worries. If it is not I don't want to hurt anyone. Especially if the person is truly a young lady. So I may be at risk of being scammed but many other people are hurt by a possibility. East or West scam-mers greatest harm is to all the innocents in the sandwich.

From every good things there is always an open door for bad eggs. IF Nigeria is rated high in cybercrime in the world, that shows the level at which Nigerian are willing to survive, i strongly believe that you cannot become an hacker overnight, except through constant practicing. Believe it or not, Naija has gone gaga over the internet, from every university in Nigeria there is always a group of hacker, the upcoming and the BIG guns recruiting new hands everyday, please find time to get the Die Hard 4 Action Film by Bruce Willis. I can recommend the following way on how to reduce the cybercrime in Nigeria but not ULTIMATELY! 1. Provision of Social Ammenities 2. Good Governance 3. Public declaration of asset by Big Guys in power 4. Provision of Educational Facilities 5. Re-Orientation of the youth 6.
