examine relationships between Igbos and 419-Advance Fee Fraud,which
may also
be seen as a form of entrepreneurship".
--------------Toyin Adepoju
Toyin,
Advance fee fraud seen as a form of entrepreneurship? By who? The
Igbos and/or other honest and enterprising ethnic groups in Nigeria?
The essay in question from its title is treating the matter of the
Igbo enterpreneur in the political economy of Nigeria, so one expects
that issues to be considered would be legitimate endervours which
advance fee fraud is not. I do not think the essay was out to treat
criminality which is not limited to any particular group of people.
Why the issue of advance fee fraud suddenly surfaced in a discourse
about the Igbo enterpreneur in the political economy of Nigeria beats
my imagination. I however await enlightment from you on the questions
raised.
