| Summary, etc | This paper aims to examine the nature and causes of the Nigerian "419" fraud. Besides, underscoring the role of the political and historical situation of the sub-region in exacerbating the fraud, the paper situates the discussion within the broader context of organized crimes perpetuated by Africans in Africa or elsewhere in the world. A relationship exists between rate and development and thus there is a need for transnational collaborative efforts in controlling and preventing these crimes. However, the gap between the economic fundamentals and investor confidence is puzzling. The paper examines the link between perception of crime in Nigeria and Africa as a whole and the rate of investment flow to the continent. |
