In response, the white man replied:

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported a white lady with the handle @mama_esosa who runs an account where she tries to pick holes in yahoo boys' plans to scam people made a funny video.

In a clip, she replied to a comment of a Nigerian man who told her:

"My laptop was blocked. I need $200 google play card from you to open it."

Making a video from the man's comment, the white lady launched into pidgin English as she told the person that his scamming format is not strong enough.
