Nigerian Culture Sucks

Compared to sensible western cultures, the culture of Nigeria is often barbaric, and their belief systems are a joke. As proof, I offer the story of Remi Fakorede. When she defrauded Great Britain of almost One Million Pounds of welfare cash, she blamed her crimes on a voodoo spell and showed the judge two severed fingers that fell off of her daughter as proof of witchcraft!

From the Sun here:

A mother caused uproar in court when she pulled two fingers from her handbag and said they belonged to one of her children. Mother-of-six, Nigerian-born Remi Fakorede, 46, now behind bars for a “breathtaking” £925,000 tax credit fraud, claimed they had fallen off as a result of a strong “voodoo” curse that had been placed on her and her family and forced her into crime.

Although it is understood one of her children had lost part of her hand after suffering renal problems and developing gangrene, DNA test results are now under way to find out who the fingers belong to.

Fakorede invented 20 aliases using combinations of her various names and a string of children – including twins and some allegedly disabled – to make 39 false tax credit claims over a five-year period.

Half the £925,933 defrauded passed through an account in her maiden name while £70,000 was laundered through her daughter’s.

Fakorede told the court her mother had died a few months earlier and explained how her mother had been taken from her home and “murdered”. The culprits or “forces of darkness” as she called them had then put a powerful “voodoo” curse on her and her family. She said the magic employed was so strong it caused one of her children to lose two fingers.

It was at that point she opened her handbag and pulled the fingers out.

At which time those two fingers wiggled over to a keyboard and typed up a Nigerian Email Scam. Ph3ar the voodoo.
