I think it would be a good topic for us to discuss how the new technology in the world has helped give rise to international internet-crime rings based in countries such as Nigeria.
I think at one point or another, every one of us has got a spam email saying someone in Nigeria died leaving behind a bunsh of cash and if you help them transfer the money they will give you a large cut. Well even though it has been here for so long people still fall for these.
The most recent crime to be on the news:

This was the only one to actually hit the news, yet every year hundreds of these cyber crimes occur.
I think my question would be; What is the effect of new communication technology on the Nigerian society?
