I guess I was just trying to illustrate in a creative way why people keep bagging on Nigeria. Once the spam stops people will forget all about it. And it's not just email spam, eBay and Craigslist are overrun too.
Sure it's a bit unfair as all countries have spammers. In fact, US and UK outrank Nigeria for scams, but those are two huge places and have a lot of other notable things, and Nigeria is #3.
So I think if Nigeria boosts its economy and provides alternatives for people to make money then the spam dies down and people forget all about it.
Nigeria has 175m people, GDP grew 6.5 pct since last year. They have huge amounts of oil money and they are the financial hub of west Africa. Large middle class, skyscrapers, online shopping, massive film industry.
One day soon you will probably be trying to optimize your on boarding of Nigerian middle class users.
and 419 scams are an old tradition dating back to the 60s when they would write letters. So don't knock traditional culture ;)
Rocket Internet did an online clothing store in Nigeria. Not sure how well its done. They are famous for cloning sites into different foreign markets. German company. Not the most honorable business model just to clone, but it pays the bills.
