Unfortunately the generalisation is correct - there are indeed some honest people,the driver of our crew bus found my wallet while cleaning the bus and returned it to me intact - there was $900 in it.I gave him $100 for his honesty. Have a look at the world corruption index - that will give you some idea of the situation in Nigeria. Where in the country were you based and what line of work were you in? I worked in Lagos,Kano,Sokoto,Kaduna and for a short time Maiduguri. I felt safer in the northern Muslim areas than in the Christian South but the way the system worked was the same.
