Hi

Am afraid that the remark about Nigeria and scam is jaundiced irresponsible. First every nation on earth has it's own handful of sinners and saints. I personally lost huge sums of money to American based companies viz 12 DailyPro, Fastemarket, Intgold, EMO, etc. Add TraderJack of UK I got wiser. Does that make all Americans and British Nationals or residents criminals? Certainly not? Going by the records, USA have more scam records according to FBI report in 2005 than Nigeria. In the said record, USA came first, while Nigeria came 3rd.

In 2007, Haliburton, a US oil company was penalized by the US Justice Dept for corrupt practices in its oil activities in Nigeria and I understand that the US Vice President has business interests in the company. On the other hand the Nigerian Government has also dragged the same Haliburton to Nigerian Courts for Tax Evasion.

Siemens, the Gerrman Giants in Telecommunications services are still in the news for their corrupt practices in Nigeria, Libya, saintly Norway and Italy.

Pharaoh's comment on Nigeria is sheer bigotry, lacks merit and betrays a big dose of ignorance. Is Mafioso, the Italian crime/drug related inglorious gift to world's vocabulary proximate to all Italians being criminals? Or should all Japanese be categorized as criminals because of the Yakuzi phenomenon?

The Moderator should not allow this decent forum to be a platform for one un-informed bushman to insult a whole nation.
