I remember as a child constantly getting the Nigerian prince scam emails... I haven't delt with a Nigerian scammer in ages. So while your country still has scars from the past, I no longer think of Nigeria when I think of scammers.... Well not as much at least. My first thought goes to India and China now.

      $200 usd is about a week's pay on an average Nigerian salary. Since it's an average, of course, a lot of people make more and a lot of people, especially in rural areas, make a lot less.
      Staple foods are really cheap so that kind of money can go very far buying things like rice and noodles. Even here in the U.S. I can buy 500 lbs of rice or more for $200.

And that's what I love about Pleasant Green. He brings out the good in some scammers, and puts them out of their horrible job to go pursue a better career. As they said, say No to Scammers. I'm so happy that they did such an amazing thing. It's a Win-Win situation, and I LOVE IT! I hope you continue to do this, and hope that everything goes great for you!
    Also, for the random people who see this comment, have a great day, and Merry Christmas! (Unless you're reading this from the future and Christmas is long over)
