Britishers continue to be conned by the wily Nigerians.Fraudsters in Nigeria rake in £3.5 billion a year from the UK by email scams and letters and phonecalls.
Nigeria has become synonymous with corruption, where it is a way of life.
"Here you pay for everything but the view," a Nigerian told a visitor to Abuja, the country's new capital.
Around the city and other urban centres, policemen run "mobile courts", running purges against offences that are unpredictable - one day "illegal" windscreen wipers, another "illegal" bumpers, the next "illegal" tyres. The only thing to do is to pay the required bribe and gain the greeting: "You are free to go. The court is over."
Nigeria is a nation beset with problems due to inept governance. That should be no surprise with administrators such as this man who believes in the equitable distribution of rights :))
A NIGERIAN state governor has declined to resolve a row between his four wives over who is the official first lady, arguing that they can all take on the role.
Murtala Nyako's wives have been widely criticised in the media for arguing over who should represent north-eastern Adamawa state alongside the governor - a role that normally comes with perks such as official cars, staff and security guards.
"I am a Muslim and as such, all my wives have equal status. So far, I have not declared any one of them to be first lady," Nyako was quoted as saying.
