    It is estimated that virtually every family in Benin City, Nigeria, has a member involved in the trafficking trade: http://nyer.cm/Qn7QiTg pic.twitter.com/9Nd4Zhs0IJ

        Not true, I am from Benin City and that is so far from the truth. It's sad when stereotypes are used to describe an entire group of people

        It's not true that "virtually every family" in Benin City has a member involved. A lot of families, yes, but not "virtually every family."

        The article was grim, not sure many and virtually every makes much difference in context.

        "Virtually every" says it's almost unavoidable, which makes a contextual difference. I've lived in Benin for over 20 years, so I can say...

        ...it isn't true. I'd say it's abt 1 in 5. That's not "virtually every." The article, while holding truth, leans towards sensationalism.

        I'm sure that Family is being used here in the extended family context.
