Famous Nigerian comedian Destalker has disclosed that he attempted internet fraud but failed.
The comic said on a recent episode of the on-house Gist podcast that the acquaintance who first told him about online fraud is now a Christian cleric.
He clarified that his failure at online fraud was due to his compassion and his inability to commit fraud.
“Before I left Enugu, I tried internet fraud with one of my friend who is now a pastor but I wasn’t successful at it. Then we would book night sessions at cyber cafe for N250. I couldn’t afford it then so my friend always paid for me. He is now a big pastor, Rev. Nelson Umeh.
“However, while he was scouting for victims online to scam, I was busy chatting with my family, friends and old schoolmates from Ughelli on Facebook. After that, I would fall asleep. There is no need for overspending when you are on the wrong lane…
“But today, it is a changed story. Because it [internet fraud] was not my destiny. I can’t defraud a person because I am kindhearted. Because of all that I went through, I have grown so confident that no one can stop me from achieving my goal.
