Shame on you Little Hawk for even hinting that the Nigerians are genetically or culturally predisposed to scamming, or that internet scamming may be the exclusive province of Nigerians. Many Nigerian scams may very well be Swedish, Tahitian, or even Peruvian scams in Nigerian clothing. And besides, even if a Nigerian was able to bilk an 83 year old retired Elementary School teacher in Lethbridge out of her 63,924 dollar life savings, there are worse crimes in the world than that, like buying up Nigerian oil at bargain-basement prices, or exporting Pizza Huts and Starbucks to Abuja. Don't get me wrong. This doesn't mean you have to intentionally fall victim to a so-called "Nigerian Scam" just to exercise your voluminous Canadian sense of fair play.
But would it kill you to buy a couple of Sade albums, or maybe a gongon drum?
