There are bad apples in every barrel and part of the problem with that specific group is that fraud and corruption is endemic in Nigeria itself so providing an attitude of "Oh well this is how everyone behaves" when in fact it is always down to a few corrupt individuals.

The danger is assuming the steriotype actually applies to all.
