The Gullibility of Nigerians and the Rise of “Kakukakrash” – A Cautionary Tale

It’s shocking how easily Nigerians believe anything they see online, especially when it’s wrapped in spiritual mystery. From Lagos to Kano, Port Harcourt to Sokoto, people are falling for the same old tricks. Just like our ancestors were deceived by sweet words from strangers, many of us today swallow every prophecy, cult story, or viral trend without thinking. This is why scams thrive—whether it’s Yahoo boys, fake pastors, or now, this “Kakukakrash” gimmick.

Let’s trace this man’s journey. Since 2021, he has tried different personas—PC Lapez Lovers, Uncle Jay Comedy, Joegrafi Tech, Magnifique B26—but nobody paid attention. Then, he discovered the Nigerian weakness: fear and spirituality. He rebranded as Kakukakrash, spreading prophecies about death, secret cults, and doom. Overnight, his followers jumped from 1,000 to over 129,000! People in Abuja, Enugu, Ibadan, and beyond began sending him money, virtual gifts, and even begging to join his fake group.

The truth is, Nigerians love drama and miracles too much. We’d rather believe a stranger’s scary prophecy than use common sense. Just like those who rush to babalawos for quick riches—only to end up poorer—many are now donating to this Kakukakrash fraudster. Soon, he’ll buy cars and houses with their money, while they keep waiting for “spiritual benefits” that’ll never come. It’s the same game fake pastors play—getting rich off people’s desperation.

We must wake up! Not everything online is real. Before you share, send money, or panic over prophecies, THINK. Ask questions. Nigerians’ hunger for miracles is making us easy targets. As the saying goes, “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Don’t be the fool.
