Maybe this is not a very popular response, but am I alone in thinking that the collective responsibility for this rests, to some extent at least, indeed with all Nigerians?
In that as citizens they should support politicians that take 419/spam/fraud issues seriously?
Were there no collective responsibility, then all arguments of the kind that the West owes/owed something to Africa for its colonial misdeeds, would even be less valid (as hardly anyone involved with that is around any more...).
(and just to clarify, I do think the West owes something to Africa, but collective responsibility can't go one way only. Being responsible, and building a reputation for it, is as important for nations as it is for businesses, teams and individual employees)
- markessien 16y agoJust like collective responsibility for the Iraq and Afganistan wars rests with all Americans?
- wybo 16y agoIndeed, orthogonal to the extent to which those wars are bad on overall (and the collective responsibility of the Dutch and Brits for slave trade in the past, which we can all agree on, was a shame... (am Dutch, to take it home...))
