What is this man talking about, Pricky?
Talking about cleaning a toilet?!
What's the meaning of that nonsense?!
I did not know that you are washing his toilet.
You did not tell me this.
What of washing a toilet?!
What's the meaning of that nonsense?!
I'm so pissed off, right now!
10 Million Dollars!
Mr Pricky could hardly believe it!
All he had to do was send his new cyber friend General Babagana
a fee of just under £2000 GBP
via instant money transfer
and the fortune - some sort of ‘contract fund’ -
would be his.
Things were going smoothly until the day Mr Pricky
travelled to the money transfer outlet
and his phone rang.
It was Barrister Kofi Mensah in Ghana
who advised that the General worked for him
and that Mr Pricky should send the £2000 GBP
to a bank account in Ghana, instead.
The Barrister would then send the General his share.
Hello?
Ahhh, General, it's Pricky, sir.
OK.
OK, sir. I've, I've sent the money.
I need to ask you something very important, sir.
Please, go ahead.
How much will I receive in total, please, sir?
The total amount that you're meant to receive
is $10.5 million USD.
OK, sir. Do you have a Biro (pen) and paper? I'm going to call you the number, now.
OK. Go ahead.
OK. Here we go.
It's 1-3-2.
1-3-2.
4-1-9.
OK.
2-1-6.
OK.
8-0-1.
...and via Ria.
What do you mean, Ria?
You sent via Ria.
No. No. No.
I changed in accordance with the new instructions I got this morning.
I didn't send you any instructions this morning
No. No. No. On my way to the city on the bus
I got a phone call on my mobile from your Chairman
Barrister Kofi Mensah in Ghana. He told me…
No. No. No. I told you that I don't know who that person is
Sir, he told me that I need to send the money to Accra, Ghana
and that's the bank account number I've given you.
Please, please…
This is wrong. I told you. I told you yesterday
that we don't have anything to do with anybody in Ghana.
Your payment has been approved from Nigeria, here
so I don't know why you're sending payment to Ghana.
I told your Chairman the same and he said, “No, Pricky…”
I want you to get that correction straight. Don't mention “your Chairman”.
Don't ever say that again
because I'm gonna hang the phone if you should keep saying this.
Sir, he emailed me last week and I said that I am working with General Babagana.
He said, “Aha!”. He said, “Babagana works for me in my chamber”.
“I am the senior partner here”. This is what he told me.
D…d…d…d…d…d…do you reason to what you're saying?
I'm not a lawyer.
OK? I'm a Major-General in the Nigerian Army, retired here
and talking underneath the Office of the Presidency
so what business do I have to do
with people in Ghana?
Anyway, sir, this is a reference (conference) call
and I have the guy on the line, now.
Barrister, could you speak, please?
Oh, yes. Yes, sir. General?
Yes. Who is this, please?
This is the Barrister.
Why would you say that you don't know me? What is wrong with you?
You are the Barrister from where?
From Ghana.
Yes.
Do you have any office in Nigeria?
Yes. I do have an office in Nigeria.
You work in my office in Nigeria.
Where is your office, please?
In Lagos State. You work there.
I work in Lagos State?
Yes. You work there and I pay you.
What is wrong with you?
Listen and listen attentively.
You are in Ghana
and you have an office in Nigeria
and a Major-General in the Nigerian Army
works in the office of a Barrister.
Are you OK with that?
Yes. You are my boy.
You work for me. I pay you.
A Major-General in the Army works in your office?
Are you OK?
Are you OK with that?
A Major-General in the Nigerian Army works in your office?
A Barrister?
Yes.
A Major-General works in the office of a Barrister?
You clean my toilet, sometimes.
Clean your toilet?
Yes.
You must be so stupid.
You are nothing but a non-grata.
If I should at any time in life see your face in this part of the world
I'm going to allow my military cadets to deal with you squarely
and throw you into the gutters.
You know what;
I think it is high time you call me yourself and I will educate you more.
OK?
Oh. I should call you myself?
Yes. I will educate you more.
I've cut him off.
He just had a great idea, didn't he?
That you call him back.
Hello.
General.
Yes. Hello.
It's your Chairman.
My Chairman?
Yes.
OK.
Did you get Mr Pricky on the line?
He's not on the line, now!
<The General and Barrister Kofi Mensah now have a long conversation
in their native language of Igbo discussing how they can now work together
in order to scam Mr Pricky and out of more money>
Yes. Hello?
Oh, General, General.
I've been trying to reach you, sir.
Your number has been engaged.
Yes, because he called me
and he made me understand
that he is just like working as an agent for you
but for now, you need to suspend further discussions
until I confirm to you that he has sent the money
to Barrister Johnson (his alterego).
Is that clear?
I think I understand what you're saying to me.
I'm just going to check everything is correct. Hold on.
Yeah. Hello.
Barrister. Yes. General Babagana is just explaining to me...
Yes.
Oh. Yes.
Ah, Barrister?
Yes, General…
I’ve just informed Mr Pricky that you have spoken with me
Have you told him about the next phase of the payment?
You know, the £5000 GBP?
I have not detailed him.
Mr Pricky, you know what.
I just got an idea.
There's really no need for the waiting.
What you can just do is you can make available £5000 GBP to me today
and I can get these documents for you by this night.
Just send it to the same account that
I gave to you earlier and I'll sort it out
I’ll put the General in line later.
OK.
You know, he has explained to you that I'm actually his Boss
and actually running this show here
so just deal with me, I will handle him, don't worry.
I will take care of him.
OK.
General, I was just trying to tell him that I got an idea.
OK. You talked about him paying in £5000 GBP.
Yes. You know I'm running this show here so, he just give it to me
and I’ll make the documents available, this night.
There’s no need to wait ‘til Wednesday.
It's OK. That's fine. It's alright.
OK.
Thank you, General.
Thank you.
OK. Good. Alright. Thank you.
Bye-bye, sir.
So now, having overcome his initial alarm
at another Scammer muscling in on his victim
the General is very happy
because Kofi Mensah has persuaded me to send another £5000 GBP
which the General believes they're going to split 50-50.
Hello?
I just called to thank you very much-o.
Hmm...
This year is very, very tough for me.
Things have been really, really hard for me.
I was owing my landlord house rent.
My children's school fees…
and unfortunately, I have sad news for you.
OK.
In fact, I have good news and I have bad news.
Which one do you want to hear first?
Any one your mind tells you, my brother.
The good news is that I just received the payment number
from Mr Pricky. He has sent the £5000 GBP.
That's the good news.
The bad news is that I need all the money.
Really?
Yes.
Yeah, I know things are tough for you too but things are really harder for me
and this money is going to solve a lot of problems for me
so, there's not really much I can do now
but I called you to appreciate you but you know you can keep him as a Mugu.
You will get more from him. This man does not have sense.
So, my brother, you are saying that you are going to take all the money.
Yes.
Both this £5000 GBP and the other £1940 GBP.
I'll keep all. I need the money badly.
I told him that you'll be the one to send him
the consignment, the cash.
The $10 Million USD.
He will call you later for the money.
This one, I have to keep it, my brother.
I need to chop this one.
If that pleases you
may God bless you and your family.
Amen. Amen. God bless you too, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Mr Obi, he took that ‘chop’ very graciously.
I don't quite understand.
Yeah, I think he was really lost.
He was really depressed.
You mean he's just sort of resigned himself to it?
Hello?
Ahhh! General, is Pricky, sir. Pricky, sir.
I'm so p*ssed off, right now!
I’m so p*ssed off, right now!
Now, this man called me, now. Not quite long.
That he has good news
and the good news is that he has received the £5000 GBP
you said that you have called to give him information
and that the bad news is he's not going to send even £1 GBP
or do anything for the documents
that he has asked you
to collect the documents from me.
That's what he told me.
Uh, General…
I'm so p*ssed off, Mr Pricky.
I’m so p*ssed off.
Errr… General, General. I've sent him another £5000 GBP
so, the money is in safe hands
and he's going to get the
document through his Chamber.
OK. Can you connect him on call?
Yeah. Yeah. Hang on. Hang on.
I'll do that, now. Hold on. Hold on.
Yeah. Hello, Mr Pricky. How are you doing?
Oh, Barrister Mensah, I have your employee here.
The General is on the line
and he's telling me you are not legitimate.
I don't understand!
Which of the Generals is that?
Is it the one that cleans my toilet?
Yes. Babagana. He's here on the line, now.
Speak with him!
Oh, Babagana.
Forget about cleaning my toilet until Monday.
Hold on, on the toilet cleaning until Monday.
You can clean it on Monday. Don't worry.
What is this man…
What is this man talking about, Pricky?
Talking about cleaning a toilet?
What's the meaning of that nonsense?
Pricky, can you understand what is going on, now?
What is he talking about, cleaning a toilet?
I did not know that you are washing his toilet.
You did not tell me this.
What’s a… washing a toilet?
What's the meaning of that nonsense?
Washing a toilet?
Are you OK?
General, all I'm saying is you can take the weekend off.
So, so, this is what you did.
You remember what you told me? Listen.
What you said to me on the phone
when you called me back
that you told Mr Pricky
that I will get the documents for him.
Was it not what you told me?
General, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why don't you hands off?!
By you saying that a Major-General cleans your toilet.
We're talking about something here.
You're talking about cleaning a toilet.
Why are you doing this?!
Why don't you hands off, then?!
Why don't you hands off?!
Why saying all this bullsh*t?
General Babagana…
Why are you doing this?
Please! I, I, I, I, I, I, I beg you.
Get your hands off!
Why still lying, telling someone who might be more educated than you are
that a General is washing your toilet?
Isn't that nonsense?
General, when we spoke earlier I did not say any such thing to you.
I just told you, you did not need to come to the office to clean toilets this weekend.
You can take the weekend off.
You must be stupid.
You must be stupid to still be talking about toilet.
Is it your Mother that cleans toilet?
Let me tell you, you are living under a curse
and I bet you in no time
you are going to see the taboo.
In no time.
You stepped the tails of a tiger.
In no time, you will smell your body.
I promise you that.
In no time, you will get the message of a spirit.
General…
Get yourself off!
…because I told you to take the weekend off
do you want to clean toilets this weekend?
Mr Pricky.
Sir, I don't understand…
Sir, I don’t understand…
I don't understand what's happening here!
How is it that you're going to Ghana to clean this man's toilet
but you tell me you don't know him?
Now, how do I go to Ghana
to clean his toilet when I'm in Nigeria?
Tell me.
How can I go to Ghana to clean toilet?
Are you, are you OK, yourself,
listening to such nonsense?
Maybe you take military vehicle
from Lagos to Accra
and take cloth and bucket to wash his toilet.
Are you serious?
How can we be talking about transactions like this
and this idiot on the phone on the other side
that I don't know where he's answering from
he's saying that he is paying me to clean his toilet.
Do you listen to that nonsense?
Do you listen to that rubbish?
What has cleaning toilet to do with this?
I don’t understand…
It’s clearly ridiculous and stupid, cleaning toilet.
Who is he that even a ordinary Captain in the Army
should clean his toilet?
A military personnel cleaning a toilet
for a bl**dy civilian?
Mr Pricky, I'm a Barrister.
I’m the Attorney-General of Africa.
You are the Attorney-General of Africa?
Yes.
Is there anything Attorney-General of Africa?
This man is an idiot.
People like you are not worthy to be on the other side of the phone with me
because you are nothing but a low class.
You are so stupid.
You need to go to school first before you start swindling people.
Yeah. Please, can you give me a second?
I need to use the toilet right now, I'm pressed.
OK. Hang on, there.
Hang on, General. Hold on.
Just one second.
Mr Pricky?
General?
Tell your wife to clean your toilet, you b*st*rd.
Mr Pricky. I need to tell him he needs to clean that toilet.
