Vultures = 419

I watched newsnight on BBC yesterday and the phenomenon of vultures fascinated me to no end, see link:

Why are Nigerians the arch stereotypes for all things fraudulent. Not to refute the fact that 419ers are inherently wrong but what's with the glee people assume in condescending to regular Naija folk. How come the world is quick to agree that 'one bad apple dont spoil a whole bunch' when it comes to others and a different set of rules are applied when it comes to Nigerians? My two cents...
