Toyosi Godwin has revealed how he lost a job with a Canadian company because of the new of Hushpuppi’s arrested.
Hushpuppi was arrested yesterday by Interpol for his involvement in a scam on the unemployment insurance programs of some states in the US.
According to Toyosi Godwin, the news is bad for those who work remotely with foreign companies.
He tweeted: “This HushPuppi news has spoilt a lot for remote workers. Just read of a guy who got turned down by five clients because he is a Nigerian. Maybe that was why the Canadian company rejected me. They thought I was a scammer. Now, I’m scared of applying again. It’s a struggle.
“They have dented our image big time! Nigerians are no longer trusted to handle huge amounts. Remember the lady that was removed from Finance dept because of Invictus Obi? This thing is real. This is why many freelancers use VPNs to get the jobs they wouldn’t get with.
“Now, you not only have to fight racism, you have to fight the stigma of being seen as a fraudster.
And we have an act for this thing o. We have acted but our bastard government don’t do anything. F*cktards”.
