Beware. I just saw in circulation again, announcement for the so called Africa Youth Leadership Forum which was used to scam us last year. It is being circulated by the same Nigerian lady- Onyeka Obasi and her FAI organization. I know two members of the youth caucus that were victims of this scam last year. Onyeka herself was arrested in Ghana last year, for attempting to defraud a Ghanaian business in connection
with this.
Many African youths were made to write long applications only for their details to be used for fundraising purposes from international foundations while there was in fact no forum at all. This year's announcement is again using the same tricks they used on us last year- promising meetings with African Presidents, Kofi Annan, African AU, UN and internationally known figures who were not even aware of the conferences at all. None of the caucus members from Nigeria who are all actively involved in human rights work in that country has ever heard
this organization
Please do not send them your information and forward this to all African youth groups.
I think the youth caucus should petition the Nigeria authorities to track her down to tell us what happened with our information last, why the conference didn't take place and what happened with all the funding they used our informationm to get.
