60 books on substance abuse? Shocked

Wow.

Why try to sell 60 substance abuse books when there's other more profitable scams? Confused

That article was a bit weird. Someone even tried to justify why Nigerians do this:

For over 500 years, the Whites (Europeans and Americans) stole from Africa, killed millions, raped and tortured millions more. I think you should write a story about that, instead of trying to stigmatized an entire nation, where over 99% are among the greatest one can find anywhere. It is twisted and racist mindset that keeps the so-called West in a self-destructive cocoon. It's a pity. PS - Have you heard the one where the Russian Mafia is scamming people using Nigeria? Or the one where the FBI says the biggest Credit Card fraud in America is mostly in Asian communities? No, it is Africans to blame for everything bad and evil, how sad you are, how racist you are, and inferior you are to those who you consistently try to demonize and belittle.
