Title: FW: Miss World/Nigeria (OT) Note:
I'm forwarding this as I would like to see it reach the media more, and this is an ideal group for that.
This year, Nigeria is hosting the Miss World pagent. This is the same country that allows or even encourages large numbers of people in it to send out the infamous "Nigerian Scam" letters, tricking the gullible of the world out of billions of dollars annually. Almost certainly much of the money goes to support terrorism as well. And in many cases, victims who have gone to Nigeria to try to collect have been kidnapped or murdered.
Now there is something the average person can do to affect this. Notify the sponsors of the Miss World pagent, or any other event, such as boxing matches, that you are boycotting their products as long as Nigeria is used as the host country. Let them know that you do not want to support anything that aids the country allowing the Nigerian Scammers to continue to operate.
If this is done consistently, it will send a message to the Nigerian government that they have to stop the scammers if they want to be able to host events that bring money into Nigeria legitimately.
We CAN stop the scammers.
