druidess6308: Hi, Luscious...just the lady I wanted to see in here! You speak many different languages...can you tell me what Druidess translates into in Nigeria so I might understand why I get all of these Bible-quoting Christian scammers? Just curious.



Hey girl! wave

In Nigeria, they have about 250 different 'tribes', but i think ibo and yoruba are the most common ones. I have no idea what it translates to, but think the scammers speak their own special language. Everything they read, translates to 'target' for them. laugh rolling on the floor laughing
I have dated west africans and can tell what they're saying, when they 'speak' pigeon english (that's what they call it). Most west africans speak it, and hardly use their tribes. East and central africans, speak swahili. Somali, ethiopians and sudanese people don't have a common language, because they are special, hence have no similar language with the rest of us sorry africans. Southern africans speak afrikaans.

Funny, these African scammers don't target me, they probably know i can tell their sh** from the first sentence.

By the way, i can tell what part (and sometimes country) another african is from, by looking at one.


We have a total of about 2000 languages in Africa.


wow thumbs up

Thank you for the info, Luscious...I didn't know if it translated into something that particularly made them target me this way or not...but yeah, I get the fact that everything translates into "target" for the scammers! laugh

I can usually tell from the first sentence, too.

SweetOwen, if you want, copy and paste it into an email to me here. I'll read it and tell you if it smells like a scammer to me. I've gotten awfully good at spotting them. hug
