slawomir:It's almost tempting to say lack of education or opportunities to make a decent living, but that would be me condoning their actions because both situations are still an issue in Nigeria. Scamming in Nigeria is a byproduct of a judgemental society. Scammers are nothing but greedy people who are trying to live up to a false image. They don't use the money to survive, they use it to live a pretend life. Nigeria has a big problem of marginalization and discrimination when it comes to social status. If you don't have this car or that house then you're a failure. Of course no one says this to your face, but you'll feel it based on how they treat you. You feel it from friends, family and even from a complete stranger. He(the society) who holds the ladder is as bad as the thief(scammers). The framing of this question is unfair to Nigerians as a whole, and that’s because of the word “culture”. Scamming Nigerians are the exception, not the rule. There is as much a culture of scamming in Nigeria as there is a culture of let’s say, xenophobia in South Africa, or a culture of homicide in the US. Scammers have inhabited the earth since the dawn of time. Nigerian scammers probably revolutionised the process but it is hardly a malaise deserving of cultural attribution. That said, I will reiterate what others have said that the scamming epidemic in Nigeria ( which is actually in serious decline since the turn of the 21st century) is merely a symptom of some other far more debilitating disease - corruption. Corruption in Nigeria goes far beyond the everyday definition you know which barely covers bribery and dishonest gain. It goes far beyond that to the realm of what Professor Pius Adesanmi aptly describes as an “ontological unfairness” of the Nigerian space which describes the ubiquitous brand of corruption that makes it inconceivable to live totally via an honest wage, or to totally be bereft of any corrupt act in your daily life. It is an almost impossible scenario, and a society like this will always have people in significant numbers who will latch on to any corrupt fad and explore it to the furthest frontiers. This is what makes Nigeria’s brand of scam look like it is a culture. It is not. People do not train their children to be scammers. If they did, that is a culture. Scam artistes, save their brash show of wealth, are still very much inconsequential in general moral coding of the society. If it was otherwise, it will be a culture. But it must be said that the abject leadership ineptitude and corruption in high places is slowly eating away the moral fabric of the society. There is gradually an erosion of consequences for corruption, mostly because the ruling class are neck-deep in it. When the trees were still the playground of the squirrels, if you made sudden wealth, people (your parents especially) will ask questions. That is no longer the case. Parents now even tacitly encourage their wards to get rich by all means. Churches and places of worship which are the conscience of the society blatantly compete for wealth to the point of active engagement in ponzi schemes. In the final analysis, the upcoming generation are left with the wrong incentives to respond to, which makes it harder to blame them, which exercabates the and widens the diameter of the vicious corruption circle. The malaise is dangerously getting close to the notorious toga of culture. It remains to be seen if the slide can be arrested. |
Ama Ata Aidoo (23 March 1942 – 31 May 2023) was a Ghanaian author, poet, playwright and academic. With a career spanning more than five decades, she received international recognition as one of the most prominent African writers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Her first play, The Dilemma of a Ghost, was published in 1965, making Aidoo the first published African woman dramatist. As a novelist, she won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Changes (1991), she was the Minister of Education in Ghana under the Jerry Rawlings administration. In 2000, she established the Mbaasem Foundation to promote and support the work of African women writers. She also lived and taught in the United States, Europe and Zimbabwe. |

I'm a Nigerian and I was about y years old (find x)when the word 419 became Nigeria's trade mark. Over the years I've been trying to get into the thinking mind of the scammer and the scammed (pardon those titles). It has dawned on me that it all started with what I'll term using the sympathy angle to defraud. It happens even in Nigerian streets. Practically healthy people tell you one compelling story and you fall for it out of sympathy. They scam you alright. Why is it widespread? Nigeria is a copy cat nation full of lazy people. Criminals are boasters and when they spend their ill gotten proceeds, majority of people who know them also want in on it. That way, the scam increases. Flamboyant lifestyle by politicians and religious leaders is not helping matters too. You see your classmate who was always at the bottom of the class, without any known business, spending money as if its source never dries up, relatives and friends berate you for being ‘lazy' because you are not like this your classmate. In Nigeria, your source of money doesn't matter. A known armed robber will be given countless titles, if he can afford it. I won't doubt that scamming is now synonymous with Nigeria. The sad truth is that only the sly and underhand live big in my country. Those who are genuinely rich are about 1% of the population. If you held government office or travelled abroad and came back to Nigeria without lots of money, your community will ostracize you forever. That's the bitter truth. |
