I recently discovered that Nigeria is one of the richest countries in the world. No kidding. Although you may think that it is not possible, but it is true. How do I know? Well, I will tell you a secret - from secret email communications between me and some brother of some rich fellow in Nigeria. He wanted to give me a few million for some small help. And sometimes, I get emails from bankers and lawyers who want to share their great wealth with me. Yes, they are so rich, they are willing to part with millions of US dollars, all because I can send them a few hundred dollars. Who in their right mind would turn down such offer! Best of all, I keep getting a lot of such emails, although some of them are tagged as spam by my spam filter. Yup, sometimes those spam filter gets crazy and wrongly classify important emails as spam.

Plus when you put your items on sale on ebay or Yahoo! Auctions, you will get people from Nigeria willing to pay 10 times the amount it is worth. Boy, they are sure very rich. I once placed my harddisks on sale, and someone from Nigeria offered me a few thousand dollars for it. Man, it was impossible for me to refuse right? It probably worth only like two hundred bucks and they are willing to buy it for a few thousand! Generous Nigerians I gather.

I think for my next overseas trip, I will visit Nigeria and see their vast wealth. I bet I will see beautiful palaces and huge modern buildings and hotels. And the people there should be kind and generous. Give me money! Long live Nigeria!
