I recently had a long conversation with a Nigerian who came to the US in high school and is now working in Europe after doing a law degree and an MBA. I was asking her about some of this stuff, including the question of whether the email scammers could be converted to productive entrepreneurs given the chance. Her response was very pessimistic. She said there are many that come to Europe, often legally, and simply continue the same scams there, rather than try to do anything legitimate. These kinds of issues in Africa seem like a hard nuts to crack.
