I am a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS).\n\nMoney laundering is an attempt to conceal the origin of criminal funds. There are three independent stages of money laundering: placement, layering, and integration. \n\nThere are many examples of each stage, but I will provide some basic ones.\n\nPlacement\n\nPlacement occurs when criminal funds are introduced into the financial system. For example, a U.S. money launderer may make frequent cash deposits just under the $10,000 currency reporting limit. This practice is called "structuring". \n\nLayering\n\nLayering is an attempt to confuse the money trail. An example of layering would be if a money launderer converted cash drug proceeds into money orders or travelers checks, or if a money launderer sent funds to a variety of accounts under a variety of names via wire transfer.\n\nIntegration\n\nIntegration is the method a money launderer uses to provide a seemingly legitimate explanation for criminal funds. A money launderer may use an import/export company to create false invoices that would account for the amount of funds. Typically, placement and layering precede integration. Placement and layering are the methods of getting the criminal funds into the system. Integration is usually the method for the money launderer to get the funds back. For example, a money launderer may have made a currency deposit in Bank A. He then may go to Bank B and may purchase CDs (certificates of deposit) with a cashier's check from the funds he deposited in Bank A. So, he's accomplished placement and layering. Now, he may obtain a loan from Bank C secured by the CDs from Bank B. This is more layering, but it is also integration. He now has a "clean" loan disbursement check that has no tie to the original criminal cash deposit. In fact, he may default on the loan from Bank C and be willing to forfeit his CD cash collateral. \n\nNow, for Nigeria. Well, Nigeria's international image suffered greatly due to the arrest and subsequent corruption investigations of the son of the former Nigerian dictator, Sani Abacha in 2000. There were almost 20 banks involved in this corruption, with money laundering figuring greatly. \n\nAlso, Nigeria was notoriously reluctant to adopt anti-money laundering legislation, and did so only under great pressure from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) at the eleventh hour in 2002. \n\nHope this information helps.

you should write about mob mentality, how people do things they know are wrong or that they disagree with just because everyone else does it.  or something about following tradition despite moral or religious objection.

Whereas, uncomplicated claims will be processed under a "fast track" procedure, which is the procedure, our claims will be put on.\n \nI have also made contacts with the Trust Company responsible for Dormant Account Recovery (DAR) in the United Kingdom and also concluded final arrangements with them to take over the funds by a new beneficiary legally. As an experienced broker and working with top executive members of (ICEP) who are also my close associates, I have all secret details and necessary contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch.\n \nWe are willing to offer you as much as 20% of the entire funds and after the transaction has been completed.

Oh, the irony...\n\nIt depends on what your focus is - corruption is a fairly broad topic.  Are you analyzing it or making a judgment on it?\n\nOkay, regardless, here's something broad:\n"Although certainly not a unique product of our time, a culture corruption existing today has become clearly evident in the arenas of [wherever you're discussing].  This trend is inarguably dangerous, both in practice and in its larger effects. [If you're talking about how to stem it, throw in a summary of that here.]"\n\nI wouldn't be helping you out except I know how it feels to be on deadline.  Good luck!

Regrettably, I'm going to go with you can't. I suppose you could appeal to Nigeria's government, and you should,but they may be powerless. Also consider they unfortunate possiblity you may be too late. Don't send money, and most definitely don't go there yourself.

I can't think of any others myself, but if you can get ahold of the book "Alphabetical Africa" by Walter Abish, it should be able to help you.  It's a crazy book with entire chapters written made up of words just using these letters.  Hard to find, but check some libraries, they might be able to borrow it from somewhere for you.

Print out some pictures - of kenya and of starvation, if possible starving people in Africa and then stitch out yr prez based on 'em. Give reasons how it can be solved - show some pics of organizations who do just that.

There's been quite a history of creative internet scams which originated in Nigeria. They've since evolved and globalized. Be wary of any solicitations sounding too good to be true, especially those involving money and sporting a web-base email address. Their English grammar usually leaves a lot to be desired, too.

Anything that comes out of Nigeria is a scam.Be careful about the UK also because they use that as an address for scams. Lotteries are also scams. Use your head when you get emails like that.

Here is a link to many of the major newspapers and media outlets in Nigeria.  They should be able to show you what current events are going on there.

1. Take some pride in your work - spell check and capitalization work wonders.\n\n2. If you need an essay on African Slave Heroes, then I suggest that you do some research and write your paper. Take some responsibility for your own learning and do not expect others to do your work for you -- it is unethical and just plain wrong.

I don't have a website, but check with your government. I live in China and there are a lot of Africans here who are studying all sorts of things, including medicine. Most of these are on scholarships offered by their countries. China is a cheap place to live and go to school, so your chances of getting a scholarship to this country as opposed to a country like the US is much greater. I have to say, I've never met any Nigerians here, but there are bound to be some.
