Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time for donkey of the day. There's a bunch
of donkeys out here. It really caught me off guard.
We live a life where we bite our tongue based
off who we may offend. We never would say it.
You are a donkey. That is why Charlemagne is here.
(00:21):
Some donkey todays just saw themselves. On The Breakfast Club. Okay, Charlemagne,
who you giving donkey of the day to today? Well,
donkey of the day for Monday, September 14th goes to
six Nigerian men who were extradited from South Africa to
the United States for allegedly being involved in a romance
scam that targeted more than 100 women and stole millions
of dollars. I'm not even going to sit here and
(00:42):
act like I can pronounce these brothers' names, but let's
go to SABC News for the report, please.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The six Nigerian nationals who are suspects in a multi-million
rand online romance scam have arrived at the Cape Town
International Airport for their extradition. to the United States. They
are allegedly linked to the Nigerian cyber crimes syndicate, the
Black Hawks, and face charges of money laundering and wire fraud.
(01:08):
The Hawks say they initially arrested eight suspects in 2021,
with one being granted bail of R210, 000, while another was
extradited to the United States in 2024. This followed cooperation
between the Hawks, Interpol, the FBI and the U.S.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Secret Service. You must remember that the crime scene is online,
so there had to be proper investigation and proper money
trail to be traced back to individual suspects so that
we are able to make a case that is tangible
to stand before court.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Jesus Christ, she ain't say their names either. So now
I got to attempt. I just say their first names.
Perry Franklin, Asa Ramin, Collins Musa, and Torres Asu. And
last name Osajid. Osajid, Otaga, and Otubu. Definitely not right,
but go ahead. Anyway. They are accused. They haven't been convicted.
So we'll let the court handle that part. But I
want to discuss this morning stereotypes, okay? Because when I
(02:08):
saw this story, my first thought was, my Nigerian brothers,
why are y'all reinforcing this stereotype? You know the stereotype
I'm talking about, okay? There are people on this planet who,
when they heard young Miami ass wear all the scamming
ass N-words at, the first place they thought about is Nigeria! OK,
I was born in 1978 and Nigerians have been fighting
(02:29):
the scammer stereotype in America for as long as I
can remember. OK, it started with those. Nigerian Prince emails.
You know, remember those you get? Hello, my dear. I
have inherited $ 14 million and I need your assistance. Okay.
That's what started a lot of this. And I don't
like it because I love Nigerians.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Nigeria has over 200 million people. Some of the smartest,
most educated, most successful people I've ever met are from Nigeria.
Dropping the clues box from Nigeria. Damn it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You got doctors, you got lawyers, you got engineers, you
got business owners. You can look at what Nigerian culture
is doing around the world right now. You know, the
afro beaches everywhere you got burner boy we just was
playing tims okay nigeria has spent years showing the world
that there's so much more to that country than the
stereotypes people have about it and then here come these
(03:15):
six individuals doing romance scams allegedly okay do you understand
how much that has to piss off other nigerians somewhere
this morning there is a nigerian man sending a completely
legitimate business email and somebody is looking at that email
rubbing their chin like hmm i don't know OK, some
Nigerian brother is on a dating app right now trying
to genuinely meet somebody. And the woman is nervous, waiting
(03:39):
to be asked for money. But that's how stereotypes work. OK,
one person does something and somehow everybody who looks like
them comes from where they're from gets thrown into it.
Don't become somebody else's confirmation bias, okay? People already got
ignorant ideas about certain groups, and they just waiting for
(03:59):
something to happen that makes them feel like they're right, okay?
They don't care about the millions of Nigerians who wake
up every morning and go to work, raise their families,
and don't scam nobody. They're going to see this story
and say, see, I told you all them scamming-ass Negroes
Carisha was talking about are from Nigeria. I told you. No. Okay,
we're talking about six Nigerians, six individuals, okay? And guys,
(04:22):
if you know people already have an unfair stereotype about
your community, why would you go out there and allegedly...
become the stereotype that's what i don't understand and i
know some people don't like that argument because they'll say
why should i have to represent my whole race why
should nigerians have to represent all nigerians you're right you
shouldn't that's an unfair burden okay white people don't have
(04:43):
to do that when bernie madoff stole billions of dollars
nobody said man we got to keep an eye on
all these white people in their ponzi schemes no we
said bernie madoff was a crook okay one man we
didn't make millions of people answer for him but black
people okay my brothers my sisters from all over the
globe you know damn well that's not how it works
for us okay people shouldn't stereotype nigerians because of what
(05:05):
these six men allegedly did but people will and that's
why if these allegations are true you know These brothers
got to suffer the consequences, okay? These brothers didn't just
hurt the women they allegedly scammed. They made life a
little more annoying for some innocent Nigerian somewhere who already
has to deal with this stereotype. And I have to say,
the actual scam itself is nasty too. Oh, because romance
(05:29):
scammers aren't just stealing money. They're studying people's loneliness. That's
what makes this so foul. You're finding somebody who wants
companionship and you're figuring out exactly what they need to hear.
Good morning, beautiful. Did you eat today? I have jollof.
Then three months later, baby, I'm having a little trouble
accessing my bank account. Sir, you don't need a girlfriend. Okay,
(05:52):
you need a loan officer. And what really gets me
is the amount of work that allegedly goes into these scams.
If you have enough discipline to talk to somebody every day,
enough patience to gain their trust, enough people skills to
make them fall in love with you, enough business sense
to allegedly move millions of dollars around, then you clearly
have the skill and talent to do something legitimate. You
(06:13):
could have been putting all of that energy into actually
doing something legitimate, but no, you want a scam. But
back to the moral of the story. There's already an
ugly stereotype attached to Nigerians. And these six men allegedly
decided to become somebody's evidence for it. OK, you shouldn't
have to live your life trying to prove stereotypes wrong.
But you're damn sure shouldn't be working overtime to prove
(06:36):
them right. Please give these six alleged romance scammers from
Nigeria the biggest. I don't get it. How you say
the names? I don't know. Don't do that to him.
Don't do that to him. His accent changed and everything.
I don't even know why because that wasn't even a
Nigerian accent. I don't know what you're talking about. I
don't know what that was either. I have no idea. Well,
(06:56):
thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back,
Kristen and Montel Jordan will be joining us. They have
a new children's book, Shiloh and the Not-So-Scary Girl Above
His Bed.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Damn!
Speaker 1 (07:07):
A book about overcoming fear with faith. All right. We're
going to talk to them next. Why did you do that?
There was no reason to say damn. It's a children's book.
I've been feeling like saying damn all morning. Yeah, it
just made no sense. This is dope for me from
last night. Damn. All right. My cowboys lost. Damn. That
was a good one. You see what I'm saying? That
was a good one. Now I feel like I need
a damn this morning. I ain't here for Trav. Y'all
check on Trav. I know Trav went to the game. Damn.
