Why are there so many custom officers at our airport?

Date Paid: | City: Ikeja
Date Reported: 2013-03-06 10:13:27 | Department: Finance

Office/Company: NIGERIAN CUSTOMS SERVICE
Transaction: Customs Duties, Levies & Imposts
Bribe Type: Nil
Detail: What kind of country is this that when you come back to your own country from abroad, the first ugly corrupt sight is the Nigerian customs demanding a bribe like it's their right. They harass you with some only God know quotation of some laws and threaten you if you don't comply. I brought in two bags with nothing that will warrant my paying custom duties fees for, after much drama and threats to take me to their office or stand, the officer just said "okay madam, wetin you bring for us". It is sad, it destroys our image, it reduces us as a nation. I hope with this medium we can reduce this menace.
