The Wheels of Justice Grind Slowly…

Scams have become so successful in Nigeria that anti-sleaze campaigners say swindling is one of the country’s main foreign exchange earners after oil, natural gas and cocoa.

And, just in case you were wondering:

While individual people learn from experience, the mass of humanity doesn’t seem to be getting any smarter.
