Nigeria has actually been attempting to tackle its enormous fake education problem.
Earlier this year, they invalidated almost 23,000 fake degrees.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Nigeria is a third-world country, so of course it's riddled with corruption and fraud.
As an example, many people pay bribes to get good marks in school.
Massive levels of exam cheating are commonplace, and frequently inspire investigations into thousands and thousands of students, job candidates, etc.
As an example:
Oftentimes the cheating involves a proxy going to take a test for the real person.
It should not be a surprise that this fraud also affects immigration.
For example, there's an ongoing investigation of nurses in the NHS, some of whom have already been found to have cheated.
This is to be expected from poor places for a lot of reasons.
One reason is likely that fraudsters make places poor and slow down their growth. Another is that people in very poor places desperately want to escape, so they're willing to commit fraud to make it happen.
Shouldn't need said, but the people in places like Nigeria who are fighting this fraud rather than denying it the good guys there.
