This is pure garbage! What evidence do you have regarding this? What
Nigerian school teaches people on credit card fraud when credit cards are
not even used there? Unless, you have seen this yourself (which I seriously
doubt), I would consider your conception stereotypical. Oh I guess you can
also say that the fact that armed robberies are commited in US, that US
schools "teach the tricks" of armed robbery? Why would Nigerian government
even bother when credit card is not even used there and more than 95% of the
residents haven't even seen a credit card?
FYI, I attended 12 years of schooling in Nigeria and visit there quite
regularly. Further, I obtain news from there on quite frequently, and I have
not heard of or seen schools where Criminal activities are being taught to
students. Sure there are Criminal acts in every country, and sure there are
criminal acts being committed in Nigeria, but not on credit card.
So, please get your facts straight before spilling out your unsubstantiated
none sense. Perhaps your point would have been well taken if you had shun
from an issue that you have no knowledge of.
