Great post there! Love how a Nigerian accent can still come across in text, you almost sound like Omid Djalili , one of my favourite comedians. Love your password too!

The "goat" thing is a common insult that scambaiters use against scammers - it's quite a common insult in Nigeria so it does hit home.
