    Dozy Mmobuosi, the founder and CEO of Tingo Mobile has been accused by US Regulators of running a "staggering fraud."
    Tingo Mobile claimed to provide mobile phones to rural farmers in Nigeria and build a fintech super app. It quickly grew into a multibillion-dollar empire with a listing on New York’s Nasdaq stock exchange.
    Dr Dozy, the London-based tycoon attempted to buy the Premier League football team Sheffield United but struggled to prove his financial resources.
    It turns out that Mmobuosi’s businesses, as they were commonly understood, may never have existed.
    The SEC has accused the Nigerian businessman Mmobuosi Odogwu Banye - of perpetrating an ongoing fraud of “staggering” proportions.

Blame your western media who do not cover real African companies doing real stuff but featuring fraudulent quick cash out schemes. That is your problem not ours. Tell your western faux journalists to learn how to do their jobs. Also no one refers to SBF scam as the ‘American CEO scam’ 🙄🙄 Cheers.

    As a Nigerian, I get so pissed at this con men that weaponize racism as a defense for their fraudulent behavior. “Perhaps if you were not Nigerian…”, how about perhaps if you had a legitimate business that could lead you to success, you would not meet roadblocks. Instead you chose to exhibit behaviors that keep us in suspicion in perpetuity. Not that I blame him alone, I wonder how hard it can be for wealthy investors to do their due diligence. You can go to Safari in Africa but you can’t pop down to Lagos for a quick meeting? ridiculous

    Your work is stellar. I learn so much from you and yet, find myself cracking up so hard at these videos. I have never heard of Dr. Dozy until now. Now I won't forget him. Thank you again kind sir 👍🏽

    I'm from the same country as this fool and I have never heard of the guy and his company. In fact, this is the first time I am hearing about him.

    Dang taking the Nigerian Prince scam to a new level.
    I'm a Black USian and often chat with African immigrants to the States in the course of my job. The ones from Nigeria always tell me to stay away because of scams 😂. I will definitely go to Ghana but I hope the coalitions over there can figure out how to reign in stuff like this from getting so big.

    It's probably impossibly obvious to people from the UK and Ireland but I was so delighted when I saw the Mitchell and Webb reference

    Exceptional analysis as always, Patrick. Nobody asked why they hadn’t met any farmers? Why a Nigerian startup was being audited by an Israeli firm when every major global auditor has offices in Nigeria and broadly in Africa? Why the UK Home Secretary’s cousin (a barrister who focuses in white collar crime, conveniently) was somehow the chairman of a company whose operations he could never explain? More people were in on this fraud than will be prosecuted.

    Wow, it’s amazing that he got away with it for so long. Just a story teller that BS his way riches, just wow. Bad but impressive, I wonder how many more similar to him are out there.

      Hundreds that are smart enough to keep their mouths shut and not attract scrutiny, I'd wager.

      More than anyone would be comfortable admitting, and today's financial/economic sectors encourage grifters to try their hand.

      The social pressures of international liberalism, especially in places like the US and the UK, strongly discouraged criticism of people like him with the risk of strong censure or worse. Add in the corrupt governmental connections, and the obvious complicity of Deloitte israel, it's clear that this is not someone who "got away with it" so much as the exact type of person that the System™ actively promotes.
