        @WSJ email scam? Maybe some Nigerian learnt it from some Americans. I know we are not the inventors. There is different between smart & fool

        @WSJ I am proud to be a Progressive Nigerian Youth. We are hard-working and smart. Scam is not a Nigerian language, maybe American or UK.

        @carisbrook5 @wsj If they think so little of their daughters who have been snatched by madmen, little hope of any other type of governance.

        @myview921 @WSJ The pres. Of Nigeria never mentioned the kidnapping until 3 weeks after as if it was someone else's problem.
