stop with all that. in terms of Nigerian scams yes that is a thing in a large country with steady net connection, but if you're gonna taint people the US, CA, the UK and Germany are full of scammers as well

my country (was born in Canada but have dual citizenship in JA and this is my home) was/is created from descendants of Nigerian slaves. same peeps who fueled the British industrial revolution. notice how that never gets credited

a brilliant fiction book that addresses corruption and the subset culture of scamming (as an aside but a salient one) is Americanah by Adichie. she's a really wicked writer and if you're interested worth checking out
