GET ANY DIRE AND URGENT REQUESTS TO HELP MOVE $5 MILLION DOLLARS FROM SOME NIGERIANS LATELY? (YES THE ALL CAPS IS ON PURPOSE)
Ok, back to normal case. Well, I was reading this news story, allAfrica.com: West Africa: VoIP Wears Human Face in West Africa, which talks about how VoIP is taking off in Africa.
A quote from the article states, "Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) warms-up for its regular technical meeting, focusing on the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), with theme: 'VOIP: Face to Face with The next revolution in Telecommunicating,' the recent report of Balancing Act's Africa, seems to give credence to its over-whelming deployment in the sub-Saharan Africa."
I couldn't help but think to myself "Gee, now that's just great, now I'll be receiving Nigerian VoIP spam (at little to no cost to them) that bypasses the U.S. Do Not Call (DNC) Lists and is almost impossible to track."
This reminds me, there have been lots of articles lately discussing VoIP spam, just wait till the Nigerians catch win of this.
Ok, maybe it's a bit insensitive of me to think this, but hey, if it does happen, don't say I didn't warn you.

I am not sure if this article is meant to poke offensive jest at Nigeria. I think the author should use his words carefully. The article potrays Nigerians as potential spammers...
They are simply self-righteous, judgemental hypocrites who only see the specks in other people's eyes and fail to see the ones in their own eyes. Who do they think they are fooling and how long do they think they can fool people? The number of scams in within the US alone surpasses the ones coming from elsewhere.
I think this people should first tackle the enemies within before throwing punches at enemies without. I don't blame them. They are born with silver spoons in their mouths, though they don't know it.
If you have an issue with Nigerians, take it up with one that works in your office. I'm sure he will gladly give you a piece of his mind, even if you happen to be his boss.
