I was ashamed and embarrassed when I heard a Nigerian who scammed Trump of $250,000 and now our government is running here and there looking for the boys, we should think about the future of this boys, most of them are graduates and after several years of job hurting, they could not bear it again because the bad government can not provide jobs and their frustration led them to opportunity of crime scene, though am not in support of their actions and crime but poor leadership and poor economy system can cause their issues of crime. Thank God $40,000 is currently recovered from those guys and instigation is still on going. What do you think about this fraudulent criminals and government? Aren't they the same?
In my opinion I think bad government and crime work together, because in a state where the government is bad or corrupt, crime seems to thrive.
Bad governance breeds unemployment, poverty, hardship,ineffective law enforcement, political instability etc. This factors help crime to thrive in such state, so I don't think you can separate bad government from crime. The only way to curb crime, (because it can not be fully eradicated in any society ) is for the government to do better, so they can improve the life of the citizens.
