A few weeks after US Senator Cruz said Nigerian email scammers were recruited to rum the Obamacare care website in a bid to ridicule it, an American journalist has written an article to reaffirm the Senator’s views.
“Have you all noticed, you know the Nigerian email scammers?” Cruz asked the crowd at a Houston rally. “They’ve been a lot less active lately, because they’ve all been hired to run the Obamacare websites,” the Senator added.

At the University of Lagos, you can major in credit card fraud.
There were almost no Nigerians in the United States until the 1970s. Today, there are nearly 250,000 Nigerians in the U.S. (committing the cyber-crime Americans just won’t do!). In 2011, we took in more immigrants from Nigeria than from the United Kingdom (9,246 from the U.K. and 9,344 from Nigeria).
