How To Fight Nigerian Scams as an Honest Nigerian?

A Nigerian asks: "As honest Nigerians, it is painful to us that everyone assumes that we are all scammers. We can't use e-payment services like Paypal, 2Checkout.com or make payments online without having the transactions flagged as scams, denied, or our account and funds arbitrarily locked for months or years. We want to make the scams from our country stop so we can be trusted again. We don't want to be left out of the Internet revolution taking place all over the world. What can we as ordinary and honest Nigerian citizens do to fight Nigerian E-mail Scams?"

I know the answer to your question, just send me your bank account information and I will, uh, transfer the answer to it. In case that is not enough, come here and I will pass on to you the billions of millions of USD your dead uncle left behind. You can identify me at the airport by the mask I will be wearing and the bag I will put over your head.

I use bicycle when possible, I don't employ slaves, I do charity in my capacity to help starving people with food, and I will protest when my country wreaks havoc on another country. And yes, I feed even the anonymous trolls - they might be starved. So in short I do everything in my capacity without bull s**tting, I guess if everyone did that, the world will be a better place (Slashdot included.)
