I don't think anyone has a problem with ALL Nigerian people.I'm sure they're just like everyone else.Now the 419ers are a different story.Nigeria is the birthplace of the sleaziest Internet scamming there is.The Nigerian government has assigned the number 419 to the offense for advance fee scams.
Sir/Madam,
However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings with you in the past. I must apologize for intruding into your private email address, but I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit it will be to you.
I am a legal consultant/broker based in South Africa. I am currently representing some members of the Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland. (ICEP) is charged with the responsibility of finding bank accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which have remained dormant since World War II. For more information check: www.dormantaccounts.ch
A dormant account with the sum of Forty Five Million United States Dollars ($45M) as discovered by clients/close associates who are members of (ICEP). The money included accumulated interest. They needed my assistance since the transfer can be made easily with my supervision as an experienced broker. My clients at (ICEP) have confided in me to look for a foreign partner that will help in putting the funds into the banking system and also assist in investing the funds into profitable business ventures for mutual benefits.
Since my clients at the (ICEP), Switzerland have mandated me to look for a foreign partner and that is my aim for contacting you. Please do not despair because I got your email address from a business advertising website on the Internet before making my contact with you. I do not intend to fail my client because I have been a very close associate and legal consultant to them for the past 20 years.
Bear in mind that we also have well-established contacts at the Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) responsible for handling processing of all claims on accounts due to non-Swiss citizens. Whereas, uncomplicated claims will be processed under a "fast track" procedure, which is the procedure, our claims will be put on.
I have also made contacts with the Trust Company responsible for Dormant Account Recovery (DAR) in the United Kingdom and also concluded final arrangements with them to take over the funds by a new beneficiary legally. As an experienced broker and working with top executive members of (ICEP) who are also my close associates, I have all secret details and necessary contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch.
We are willing to offer you as much as 20% of the entire funds and after the transaction has been completed. There is no risk involved in this transaction and all the process of the administrative claims will be legally achieved to transfer the funds in your name as the new beneficiary.
In conclusion, if you are willing and ready to assist us claim the dormant account smoothly, please indicate in your return reply mail to cjoseblankza@yahoo.co.uk or fax number +27-11-5076847 and I will furnish you with more details on how the transaction will be completed including my contact telephone number so that you can call me for questions and clarifications where necessary. We also look forward to doing more deals with you.
Warm regards,
Joseph C. Blank

Nothing at all. Every day I get a lovely email from a Nigerian informing me that I have the lottery and I need to send them my bank details so I send them my back details and I never see the money. My bank account has been cleaned out a few times though. (that's a joke by the way)
There's nothing wrong with Nigerians.

Nothing. Nigerians are actually not bad. It's just that some people have different cultural opinions on nigerians.

They have a bad reputation in the Internet community because of a bunch of e-mails, many of which originated from Nigeria, which asked people to send money in exchange for unlocking funds overseas. It was a scam of course, and some people lost a lot of money. It's known as a 419 scam, because of the article in the Nigerian civil code describing the offense. (do a google search for 419 for more detail).
Most Nigerians, like most people, are fine and decent, however.

There is always some good and some bad in every group. I have plenty of Nigerian friends and they have beautiful personalities. But SOME feel like they are superior to African Americans and have expressed it openly. But as a whole I love their culture, music and people. Why do you ask?

I had nigerians once but Terminix got rid of them for me. They almost ate the whole back porch off before I saw them. Pesky little critters...
