All Hail Nigeria!

Re: [spiers] All Hail Nigeria!


It will be intresting to see if Nigeria becomes more stable and prosperous,
and thus a better trading
partner.

John,

It's my understanding that the Nigerian Scam is the second largest industry
in Nigeria, or at least the second largest contributor to gross national
product. If these former civil servants are looking for work, won't a
significant number of those turn to online scams, which are in fact an
illicit entrepreneural pursuit, supported in their culture (dinner table
talk), similer to drug crops in Afghanistan which florished post-Taliban? Or
are the Nigerian scams goverment sponsored? I am unclear how firing workers
considered "unfit" and "guilty of serious misconduct" will contribute to a
turn around in the culture of their economy. I assume that more competition
for the operation of Nigerian scams will not reduce the "cost" of the scams
to victims. LOL
