Jamie,

One can only wonder what Cotecna had done to merit blacklisting by a country as corrupt as Nigeria!

I don’t want to sound as if I’m defending KoJo, KoFi (is he any relation to WiFi?), or Cotecna, but it’s probably easier to get blacklisted by a corrupt governmore ment than by a less corrupt one. A government that takes action to try and resist corruption will generally have some mechanism in place to try and avoid things like blacklists. A Cotecna would have to behave corruptly, most likely. A corrupt regime, on the other hand, might blacklist a company for not engaging in corruption, not engaging in sufficient corruption relative to its competitors, engaging in corruption with the wrong corrupt people, or any number of things. Just sayin’, it ain’t like its ‘portant or anythin’.
