The new Nigerian email scam, to HusseinCo?
Mebbe they can figure out how to reverse engineer that here at home in the USA?
It seems like the USA must meddle in everything, everywhere.
If I were Nigerian, I’d really resent another country coming in and throwing money around, trying to change my society. (Of course, I’d try to grab some of that money at the same time.)
Keep in mind, too, that the money goes directly to a contractor that will “work” with the Nigerian government and NGOs (and, in this case, possibly media organizations) purportedly to achieve reform. Even if this venture proves to be an utter failure, the contractor — who almost certainly will be run by ex-USAID staffers with the necessary “expertise” — will benefit immensely. On that same note, having been following such expenditures for quite a few years now, I’m seeing a clear trend of awarding follow-up contracts in order for USAID to supposedly “build upon the successes of prior initiatives.” Hence, a perpetual money-machine for the contractors.
