¶ Private colleges in Lagos offer courses in credit-card and advanced-fee fraud [Imagine this rubbish, why didn't she name the colleges] , says Ellis.

Two other activities both involve smuggling.

~ ¶Southern Igbos dominate trade in hard drugs, proving adept at creating networks of buyers and sellers in the diaspora. Ellis describes “barons” who contract middle-ranking “strikers”, who run small-fry couriers. They proved successful in North America.

~ ¶Meanwhile people from Edo state mostly control trafficking of sex workers, notably to Europe. One diplomat told the author that 30,000 Nigerian women, mostly from Edo, are prostitutes in Italy. Most are bound by large debts, spiritual ceremonies and intense social pressure.

~ ¶ Ellis’s great contribution is in explaining why Nigerian crime became so ubiquitous. When the oil price fell in the 1980s, educated Nigerians flocked abroad (at least 15m are overseas), forming networks in which crime thrives. Strong student and secret societies bind people together. Importantly, he says, Nigerians show unusual agility in business and have strong social skills. Add a weak, corrupt state and organising crime appears all too easy.

Everybody is taking a swipe at Nigeria since the days of the due.llard of daura yet zombies say Gej messed up Nigeria image.

I don't remember us getting this manner of bashing at the international scene during the last administration

Dear Nairalanders,

Please do not take my silence as a measure of defeat for PMB. We are strongly behind PMB, Nigeria is working, the economy would grow. Only a matter of time that $1 would be N1. Let's believe.

My brother, I organized half of the 300k for his ticket. God knows I tried my best. Also sent him $120 for pockey money and paid for his international passport . Didn't wana say this but u left me with no option. Im a family man too.

Truth be told. The brother in question is actually my church member and we are not in any way related. I only call him my cousin because he's closer to me and such a nice man.

Like I said before, I have no say in determining his life for him. I only give him advice. He is a very talented artist with bright future. He doesn't wana become illegal in the states and currently weighing his options. His conference ends this May and he may stay behind for like 5 months or so before his authorization to stay expires.

He is the bread winner in his family and really wana take care of his siblings and ageing mum. Going back to Nigeria now wont be favourable for him. He needs to at least gather some money to live on when he goes back home. He is 30 and doesnt have anything to fall back on in Nigeria. Ticket money was a miracle. He wants to use this opportunity to meet people and get better network
