When the country in question isn’t taking action against this widespread issue then I’d say it’s acceptable. It’s not just a few bad actors. People are regularly being scammed out of their life savings.

- jorblumesea 6y agoI don't think Nigeria, or many African countries, have the capabilities to enforce justice properly. Both technologically, institutionally and political will. Governments over there are not like governments here. You ask the Nigerian government to round up "internet scammers" and innocent people get targeted, political enemies end up in jail, a few high profile arrests and little happens. You have a very high opinion of African governments if you think we can send them a list of suspects.

Technology is an area that would help a ton and services/products can be exported fairly easily. They clearly have capable people.
