I think you will find that Nigeria IS trying to curb the scamming problem due to the credibility difficulties it causes for legitimate banking and financial enterprises. We were told that scammers from many locales were using owned Nigerian systems as a cover, so Nigeria may not be the true source of all the scamming activity  that on the surface, may appear to be originating from there.

Having lived in Lagos, London, and over 20 years in Los Angeles, I can definitely put London at the top of my list for worst traffic, especially when you consider the road conditions.

Talking about crime, funny how it is never noted that these (Nigerian Penal Code) 419 scams always used to start with the scammer appealing to the greed of the victims by asking them to comit a crime against the Federal Republic of Nigeria, i.e., asking them to partake in the transfer of (non-existent) ill-gotten gains from Nigeria to a safe have abroad.

I appreciate your comments about Nigeria. It is objective and has no maliciuos intent in it. Thank you for pointing out that Nigeria is not the only place where scammers do their activities. It cannot just be about financial and economic crimes. There are other Internet crimes that are so much in other parts of the globe like Child pornorgraphy. Most people who fall victims of these scammers should always remember that their greed also is not different from the actual scammers. They are simpy floating partners with them.

Obeto: Not always. Many scammers use the charity angle. Many also claim that their schemes are legal.

Your observations, Roger, are candid and a true reflection in most every day nigerian lives. We hope the issues raised regarding 'bandwith' and business development are realised sooner than later. Growth is key and the quicker the country can be ramped up in these direction the less we and the world all over will feel anxious about safety, traffic and trust in dealing with and visiting Nigeria.
