I'm glad that someone still shows the sense to separate the good from the bad, but I'm also disappointed when I see that the majority still tolerates such behavior as if it's something completely normal and not more than obvious abuse of merits.
Tolerate it how exactly?  Merit abuse has always been kind of a controversial topic as far as what actions should be taken by the community, and personally I don't tag merit abusers because Theymos implied that they shouldn't be (IIRC). 

The Nigerian community seems to be a very tight one, and that's the only lingering reservation I have about all of this.  I noticed that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3558380Mia Chloe and http:// are in the "merit circle" of Cantsay, and I believe they're both Nigerian.  I don't have any evidence that they're alt accounts, so I'm not going to say anything other than I've taken notice of who's giving merits to who when I'm doing post history reviews.

BTW, I like the way you shrunk the font on the quoted text.  I may have to steal that from you.
