I was going through the social media and came across this news about the Economic and Financial Crime Commission Chairman, Olukoyede saying that 7 out of 10 Nigerian students are involved in cyber crime. This is not something to be proud of because it means that 70% of Nigerian students are into cyber crime which I think it is not true entirely when deeper analysis is done about it.
We know that the rate of cyber crime within Nigerians and especially student is increasing but I don’t think it has gotten to that level that he said already. We know this moment are hard times and the economy is not friendly to everyone. Settling for cyber fraud shouldn’t be the last resort for any Nigerian. How can this be averted in the country and what are the possible solutions to stop students from involving in such criminal activities.

We have a lot of hard working Nigerian students both acedemicaly and supporting themselves through school, every student that works on the internet is not a fraudster. Besides Nigeria, has millions of citizens and it is a very few minority that are into cyber crime and they are ternishing the image of the majority that are working hard and smart for their money. Let the Nigerian government prosecute and let cyber criminals face the full weight of the law, so that others coming behind them will see the fate that awaits them if they don't stop. As far as cyber crime is concerned it is a global phenomenal, it not only in Nigeria, but every part of the world.
