Instagram vendors aside, everybody knows Nigerian women are too smart for their own good and that’s why they never fall for scam. Here’s a list of reasons why a Nigerian woman can never be on the Tinder Swindler’s list. 

1. They have two heads 

First things first, Nigerian women have two heads. That you don’t see the two heads doesn’t mean it’s not true. One head is not enough to tell when someone is about to scam you because they use manipulative tactics to fool you into believing them. This is where the Nigerian woman’s second head comes in.

2. They don’t have money

Which money do they want to send to him and how? In this economy? How much do Nigerian women make and how much access do they have to loans? LOL, this idea is even funny. 

3. The small money they have is in PiggyVest 

Nigerian women and PiggyVest’s Safelock feature are like 5&6. Once they make a substantial amount of money, they’re saving it and you know once you lock the money, you can’t use it until the release date. This arrangement can’t work for Mr. Leviev, who wanted liquid money every three to five working days. 

4. He is just boyfriend number 5 

To fall for Mr. Leviev’s scam means they’re committed to the relationship and we all know that Nigerian women don’t put their eggs in one basket.This is not to say that they cheat; they are just much happier when there’s a number of people to choose from.

5. They have the sixth eye 

Yes, they know things even before they happen. They know when their boyfriends are planning to cheat or which of their friends is secretly jealous of her new wig. They would definitely be able to tell when someone is trying to use them to sponsor their lifestyle. Forget all those Instagram vendor scam stories and listen to me. 

6. They reply texts after 3-5 business days 

After Mr. Swindler sends that first “I need $10,000 now, my enemies are after me” text, he will have to wait for three business days before a Nigerian woman will reply to him. Why? Because she’s busy not putting all her eggs in one basket. When she eventually replies, she will say, “Babe, were you able to sort this out? I wasn’t with my phone.”

7. They have trust issues 

When you say your enemies are after you, a Nigerian woman’s first assumption is that it’s your ex trying to kill you and if indeed it’s your ex, what did you do to warrant such, Mr. Man?
