For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Matthew 10:16.

The following individuals and organizations are soliciting charitable donations for Christian churches, Bibles, radio programs, school fees, orphans, prison ministries, and medical expenses. They may be operating as a group. Some of the names are probably aliases.

I made an independent investigation of their claims through other contacts that I have in Nigeria. Some of their claims appeared to be true while others were false.

These individuals may be operating a fraud or scam. At the very least, they are beggars, con men, or swindlers.

I recommend against sending them any type of donation.

Please also understand that there is a black market for Bibles in Nigeria, as incredible as this might seem.

I am certain there are many honest, hard-working people in Benin City, Nigeria. Perhaps the vast majority are good people.... but Benin City is also the largest scam capital in the known Universe.

Bishop Mike Laju & Rev Misan Laju - they are seeking for their own glory and finanical gain.

Here are some scriptures pertaining to their ministry:

Isaiah 29:
[13] Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Matthew 7:
[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

2 Corinthians 11;
[13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

2 Timothy 3:
[5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

The following article appeaed in the Nigerian Tribune, 24 March 2008. As Yahoo Boys Take Over Edo Cybercafes

Despite efforts by government to stamp out internet fraud, many Nigerian youth, particularly in Benin City, Edo State, still engage in the crime, writes Uchechukwu Olisah.

Despite fforts by the Nigerian government to eradicate financial fraud, particularly the one known in local parlance as 419 or advance fee fraud, in the country through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the scam perpetrated through the internet is still on the rise.

Nowhere else is this rise more pronounced than among youth who, for dearth of appropriate nomenclature, have found the business very lucrative. The youth, majority of them post-primary school leavers, undergraduates of tertiary institutions and fresh graduates of such institutions, are the ones mainly involved in this scam business.

In Benin City, the Edo State capital, financial fraud and the perpetrators, known as Yahoo Boys, have taken over cybercafés. Any cybercafé one enters in Benin City is bound to enjoy the patronage of these boys usually found tapping away on computer keyboards, sending all sorts of scam letters, claiming or answering to names other than their real ones and posting fake photographs of themselves on the web.

Besides, these Yahoo Boys, in the course of telephone conversations with their potential or actual victims, whom they variously refer to as mugu or maga, alter their vocal chords in manners that make them speak in alien accents.

Obe suggested that because of the high level of unemployment in the land combined with the high activity and awareness rates, young people could not find things to do with their hands and heads, and so, they switched over to these scam activities which he said had paid off handsomely for a good number of people.

“Although not all of them eventually make it, the fact that they have seen some of them make it through the foul means keeps their spirits high. The situation is made worse by the rapid acquisition of the knowledge and use of information and communication technology (ICT) which, of course, is what the financial world depends on for swift business transactions,” he said.

Obe said the economic implication of this organised scam could be the jeopardisation of genuine international trade between Nigeria and other foreign countries and between Nigerians and foreigners.
This, he pointed out, was because the Yahoo Boys would have duped these foreigners and, by that, wane these potential foreign investors’ confidence in the country.

“And so, genuine growth and foreign investment will be hampered,”he said, adding, however, that “it should be a challenge to policy makers to see how they can convert the skills acquired in computers by these youngsters to more positive engagements.”
