Who knew that Nigeria could stand up for anything? Well, I feel a little sorry for those who are upstanding in Nigeria, however the government by doing nothing about the fraudsters-- who have framed the image of the country internationally-- in effect themselves (the government, I mean) has tacitly endorsed such vile conduct. There are many Nigerians who are upstanding, hardworking and educated and reside here in the USA but even here, the horrible 'culture' of criminality, lies, technology fraud, credit card fraud and theft is still rampant and continues among some Nigerian-Americans who believe lies, fraud and theft are a way of life—as long as they do not get caught! A complete mess. Thank you for sharing this piece. Sincerely, LM http://theblindspotsofgod.wordpress.com/ Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Who knew that Nigeria could stand up for anything?
