As long as there is a massive income differential between the average American/Canadian/European and the average Nigerian, skimming through the hundreds of millions of rich Westerners with Internet access in order to find a few (hundred? thousand?) dumb enough to send money to a scammer is going to be a profitable business strategy.
Someone trying to establish a legitimate business servicing a Western market is going to have a much harder time identifying profitable customers from 5,000 miles away, especially since the Indian outsourcing firms have been developing the infrastructure for this kind of thing in their own countries for decades.
Developing more entrepreneurs in Nigeria is a Good Thing, but I doubt it will have much of an impact on the scam business.
