    Gotta love those nigers.....
    LMAO, now this isn't rascist for two reasons
    1. I have black friends that call me nigger and nigga respectively and I call them it back, it's like our game.
    2. Nigers is not spelt niggers and what else do you call people from that country, ie Brit's, Yank's, Kiwi's, Aussie's are all nicknames. What ae nigerians meant to be called?

    My vote is Nigers.
    Said like tiger but instead of the t it's an n.

    Ah well, I have one email account that gets at least one email a day from one of these scamming nigers. Bloody bastards. LMAO at this post,
    bwahahahahaha

    I also get these type of scam E-Mails... Some of which are too funny to read. :D . I really enjoy reading them when they say that they are looking for someone in my country to deposit a sum of USD 10000000XXXXXXX and they have chosen me.

    It remembers me of "MATRIX" and that great feeling of: I AM THE CHOSEN ONE :cool: Why should I report them? :D

    I get many Nigerian emails on my email boxes. Last time i got an email from a pretty blackskin girl and she offered me millions of bucks, but i didn't accept her sweet offer. Really, I know that some nigerian scams come from Europian countries. I checked one track and it drove me to Holand.
