Ask people who hate Nigerians why they hate Nigerians and hear them mention scams and mostly about scams. That is not all wrong. There is no nobility in denying the very existence of scammers in Nigeria. I like to think that such scam groups have only kept growing. If you live in big cities, mostly in the Southern part of the country it would be hard to unsee them. The said scammers are mostly those who have been pushed to the end of hardship, the kind that is yet to cross your mind and is now doing anything to get ahead in life—way ahead with flashy cars, houses, and voluptuous women who don’t care about the source of their wealth. Despite the unimaginable hard life, I think that no one should get ahead in life by fraud. That would be likened to eating your bread in sorrow or passing the night weeping and watching for more bitter dawn. It never ends well. Nonetheless, that is only one side of the Nigeria story but choosing to dwell only on that story is also a problem.
